My blog motto is 'make money, save money and live the life you want'.

Have you ever thought about how you can protect that life that you love?

If the global pandemic has taught us anything, it is that life is precious, home is important and the life we love is well worth protecting. So many people are coming out the other side of this situation without loved ones, without businesses, without support.

You might think that now is not the time to start looking at another expense, but it might just save your finances should something happen!

There are many ways to protect yourself from the unknown and often the unavoidable. One of those is to consider insurance like critical illness cover to help you financially should something happen.

I have teamed up with @lifesearchuk for my latest blog post to explain more.

Check the link in my stories or visit EmmaDrew.Info for more info.

Norfolk or Thailand? I’ve seen Bawsey Country P

Norfolk or Thailand?

I’ve seen Bawsey Country Park mentioned a lot on Facebook recently so today on a whim we went to take a look.

Apart from the parking costs 💸 I was blown away at the beauty and the colours there!

We only spent a couple of hours there, and I wore the wrong shoes, but I’ve told @thrifty_husband about 509 times how much I want to go back for a picnic with strawberries and some fancy M&S guava presse, a blanket and books. And to walk for miles and miles around the lakes there.

I can’t believe this is about a mile from King’s Lynn!

I love Norfolk so much!

AD - gifted item

Today we had our postponed Father’s Day BBQ (sorry, it was actually a braai!) and it was glorious.

The last time we had a family BBQ a few weeks ago when the lockdown rules allowed it, my father in law got sunstroke.

We knew we needed a canopy for the garden, and @wayfairuk stepped in to help us.

I love this extra area in our garden now, and it means I can work outside in the shade. The canopy is lovely with all the ‘walls’ closed to make a nice little cinema room, or airy with them open. The best of both worlds!

However, they aren’t waterproof. I won’t tell you how I know that, but it involved leaving some stuff outside in the canopy after a film night 😂

Swipe to see melty cats.

The rug is also from Wayfair (not gifted) and the dining set is the New Hampshire set from The Range. Solar lights are from B&M and the flowers are home grown courtesy of my Dad who wanted me to bring them home to show Tony 🥰

Happy Monday everyone!

The scales have moved again and I’ve lost 32% of my excess weight so far!

I roped Tony in to taking today’s photo because this dress is seriously Dreams.

This is my first side view comparison and I’m blown away 🤯

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🤶

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🤶🏻 Okay but seriously, in case you missed me mentioning it in my stories, this week @thrifty_husband and I BOUGHT A CHRISTMAS SHOP

I’ve got a lot to share about the shop, but up first is sorting all the stock that is taking over our garage, living room and dining room.

For all of those asking, it is an online store that use to be a very well known shop, but went online.

Details to follow once we have updated the website!

What have we done 😂

[mentions referral link] Okay, i am going to say it. I am a @hellofreshuk convert.

I wasn’t sure about it, especially after weight loss surgery. I was worried the meals wouldn’t be suitable or that there would be a lot of waste.

Thanks to a discount code from a refer a friend offer we got our first 3 meals delivered for £9.99 and haven’t stopped since!

The portions are really generous - even for my pre-op appetite.

We try to choose meals where I can easily spread my portion across 2-4 meals and make easy adaptions - for example, not having the naan bread with my lamb koftas. All of my servings are in a small bowl or side plate and tend to vary between 3-5 tablespoons depending on how I’ve tolerated food that day.

I have had to make a couple of adjustments - like I can’t tolerate the skin on plums so I’ve had to cut it off when prepping it for meals.

Right now I am loving the ease too. I am definitely suffering from decision fatigue, and having the meals THERE, with all the ingredients in one bag has made it so much easier. We also don’t have a car yet and we are finding supermarket deliveries always miss off the most important ingredients.

I do have a refer a friend link in my HelloFresh highlights if you’d like £20 off your first delivery too.
