Hello and welcome! This is my weekly meal ideas post I like to do, and this week it is another Home Favourite, Sausages and chips, plus I bought some good longlasting snacks, including from a takeaway I ordered, Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream.
This was all from Tescos and has lasted me about 10 to 12 days, so brilliant shop, and I am as I write this post having a couple of waffles with some Maple Syrup.
I thought the Twix pack for £2 was a brilliant deal, and will buy these again. I was after watching a Youtube video really wanting some waffles and thought I couldn’t find them but I did, and were £1.40. They are great and you get quite a few waffles within this pack, and the fruit bread has been lovely to have at Breakfast with some money saving Chocolate spread, only costing 80p.
The total shop was £13.00, and so money worth spent.
Next week I am going to see if I can get some lovely soups, as I love these, this time of year and still got plenty of waffles to have for my breakfast, aswell as dessert for another 3-4 days, and a few Bourbon biscuits left and some Twix’s.
I have already put together my next weeks shop on my phone, so see you next week.
Many thanks for reading,

So enjoy!

Hello and welcome to another blog post. In this blog I am sharing my Best buys for 2020, and I did a Youtube video sharing some items. See link:
So I love a good rucksack, which I can carry around my laptop and writing tools with me, I have bought some great shoes and boots, and think that good footwear is a must especially in the winter, that keep your legs warm but are comfortable at the same time.
I do choose a good knee high length, ankle boot and I have just bought which I will show another time, a new pair of DMs.
You will also see I love notebooks, and journals, and the two I show in the video are two from TK Maxx, who do a brilliant range. I love TK Maxx range of items and these are one of them.
Hello and good moaning! It is the start of a new week, and I hear “No shit sherlock is it really”, yes and so if you have read my weekly posts on this site you will see that I write a weekly Shopping Ideas post, every Monday.
So today I am going to share some good deals for today and this week ahead.
To start it is a Sale happening on the online store Studio, which I haven’t featured for a while, but they do, do a good range of items at Bargain prices.
They have this Dropped Armhole Active Vest top, which looks very flattering for when you want to exercise in style as it around £4.99:
They also have Christmas wrapping paper that they are trying to get rid off, but is a lovely range. Often this is the best time to get some Christmas items as it can be cheaper at this time of year, than the lead up to the big day.
They also have some Home Decor, such as this Doormat.
They have also which would go well with the Vest Top I showed above, a pair or black ankle boots, and I always invest in a good pair of ankle boots as they seem to last forever, and great for casual wear or to go out in, to see friends.
Check out link as they have further deals on items and so worth checking out:
Check out Dunelm. This is one of my favourite stores and they sell a lot of household goods, at good prices.
They have a up to 50% on bedding, and I love treating myself to a new Duvet set, as I find it gives the room a new lease of life, and can have fun doing this, by having different sets for each season.
Here are a few Duvet and pillowcase sets, and
They are doing up to 30% on Selected Rugs. I do love them, and they can really change up a room. However I find having light rugs can show up dirt a lot, and if you have pets, pet hair on. I would use a good vacuum on the and Febreze Fabric Spray does the trick.
Check out Dunelms Buying Guide on buying rugs, as they do need to maintained and cleaned due to germs and dustmites.
You can get 20% off Home Decor, and I love their photos frames. They do such a range that when I do have a place of my own again, would like to purchase some to create Gallery of some lovely photos, and also to share artwork.
Here is some of their storage items, from bags to storage furniture.
So that is my Shopping Ideas blog for this week, and I will be back with a new post, it will be my Best Buys video of what I bought in 2020, so until then see you, and have a good week ahead.

Here is my Tea and Biscuits Weekly Sunday Afternoon Post. I talk about COVID and that I have found the information given about it, very scatty and not sure what is going on in terms of it, as there seems to be new stories and altering information.
I also talk about my new Project 2021 I am creating and have new books coming out, and so I talk briefly about too. Please see video below:
I will be doing these weekly every Sunday and there is another post going out this evening, which will be my Day in a life video from yesterday and then the one I did today will be up tomorrow.
I hope you have a wonderful day, and see you later.
Hello and Welcome! So it is Sunday morning and I feel completely washed out today, and its taken a lot to get going. I am sure many who read this can nod, because they feel the same.
Anyway, whilst I am finding my eyes that feel like they are on the floor, this is my Sunday Morning post, and I will be adding another blog later, which will be my Afternoon Sunday Posts and an evening Sunday post. Sorry that I haven’t put up my Tea and Biscuits video and blog, I am going to include this in today, and would like now to share my New Day In A Life Video I made on Friday and it includes one of my Planners I am using this year, and my routine I have on Friday’s, and here it is:
I find Friday a day to feel relief from the busy week I have had and do things out of the norm, like treat myself to a Take away and watch a bit of TV. This Friday gone I watched the new series of Not Going Out, which was brilliant and also the new series of, Would I lie to you.
I then spend the evening writing down my list of what I plan to do at the weekend, and then chill, either by talking to my man I love, listening to music or watch a bit of Youtube.
So Happy Sunday and there will be another blog coming soon, and so enjoy your day.
Many thanks for reading,

Hello and welcome! So this blog I am sharing my New Weekly Look Book. I am at some point going to do a haul, but I want to show here of items I have purchased and put together.
So I love a jean jacket, and and for me is a staple piece in my wardrobe and have 3 now and would like to get a light pink one too. I like them because there are many different styles. They are great for all year round, but of course layering in the winter with a thick jumper underneath or a thick coat to go on top is a must.
This one was from Very and I often once or twice a year, do a huge shop with them because they collab with high street retailers to help promote their products, such as fashion and you are guaranteed to find a good jean jacket that will style up your wardrobe.
In the photo above I have teamed it up with a top I have had for a while, and was purchased by my mum, from George at ASDA’s and was picked out by my son.
The trousers are from Marks and Spencers, and Bootlet style, and are my style as I am not keen on straight leg trousers or those with a flare at the bottom.
Here is a picture of an outfit I have put together and can’t wait to wear it. It is with a new jumper style dress, which I think always great to have, as they are stylish and keep you warm at the same time, and was also from Very too. Check out the image below:
I don’t think this photo actually does this out fit justice, so when I do wear it I will take a photo, and I would wear these with a new pair of black boots I have, with black tights and for the evening a pair of stilleto court shoes.
Outfits I find to be easier to put together when you have staple items that suit you, and I always make sure I have at least one pair of black trousers at the time and a jumper dress, usually in black for the same reason.
The white of the jacket helps give the dress some colour as I am not a big fan of wearing all black all of the time.
Please let me know what you think. All comments can be left below.
To be kept up to date with my posts then please remember to follow me, and tomorrow I will be sharing a day in a life video, with my Tea and Biscuits Sunday post.
I am doing a Programme this year, which will have life coaching tips and information called Project 2020, please click this highlighted link here for details.

Hello and welome! So it is Saturday and I not long got up, the joys of Lockdown and the weekend.
In this post I am sharing my Day In A Life Day 5/Lockdown Day 2, and it is showing some bits I bought from Tescos and what I did that day. Working from home is great, and I try to split up my days, so I don’t get bored or bogged down, which I can easily get.
I love the job I do and I write a blog about writing blogs and books, so if you would like to check this out please visit this link: https://www.bloglovin.com/@carrieholmes40
It is a funny year already with Lockdown and I want to reiterate a message, which if you know of someone who may be on their own at the moment because of social distancing please let them know you care for them, by sending them a message, bringing a cake or just pop round to see if they are okay.
Noone should ever be on their own not seeing anyone as a lot of people can’t go out anyway so just let them know that they are being thought of, and won’t ever be forgotten about.
I have another video to share tomorrow, but for now have a great weekend and hope all is okay with you.
Many thanks for reading,

Hello and Welcome! I did already try to finish this post but as luck has it, it crashed so looking like I have to rewrite.
So this is my Weekly Meal Ideas post, and this week I did a shop on Saturday, at the beginning of the year, and thankfully, though it is another Lockdown for the UK. Oh dear God, the Supermarkets are still open.
Here is a picture of the items I bought:
I buy items not just for me, but for my son too, and so I bought some Chicken Coujons as they are a favourite, with some frozen oven chips, a loaf of fresh bread, which is the best one from Tesco and was reduced to 79p and lasted up until Tuesday, and will be buying another loaf today. I think with Christmas, skinting us out a lot, we can do with food being under a pound, so when I see reduced items I do buy and can still last for a week or too, depending on what it is. The cost of this shop, which included a bag of hula hoops, £6.64.
This time of year, when it is bitterly I love soups so I am going to buy a few today, as I have bits to add to what I already have, like chips and I do love Marks and Spencers Coleslaw, and is one of the best. I will add this to my next weeks post, and I have some items to show you that I added in my Day In A Life Video Day 5, which will be up tomorrow.
I only bought 2 items. They do a great pack of crumpets for 25p, brilliant and a Baguette for 50p, and bought some Ham, which I did scan but paid for this separately, and was 86p, and the total was: £1.61.
You don’t have to break the bank to have a good meal, and I go on items that is going to last me, but due to Christmas I have had to cut it down, and so is why I am going to do another shop today.
I am tomorrow going to visit the Poundland Shop as I want to stock up on some other items. This will be included in a video once I have done that.
So have a good Thursday and rest of the week.
