5 Positive Things To do This Week #8
- Hang pictures, photographs or things that make you smile in places you see daily. We have a lovely seascape oil painting next to our bathroom mirror – great for day dreaming whilst brushing my teeth. One day I will live by the sea…
- Swap used magazines with friends/family. If you read different ones, it’s a great way on saving pennies and recycling. Same goes for books.
- Invite friends round for ‘pudding nights’ instead of dinner. A cheaper alternative but 10 times more satisfying and less stressful. We had friends round for pudding on Saturday night, and we stood outside watching fireworks with warm bowls of apple crumble and custard. Joy!
- When you’ve finished using the oven, leave the oven door open to heat the rest of the kitchen. Do you have any alternative ways to heat your home? The stupid energy companies have too much of our money *shakes fist at sky*
- Celebrate even the small things. Nothing makes my boyfriend’s face light up more than a celebration and I think we’re both in agreement that they’re not only for birthdays or special events. Done something to make you feel proud? Celebrate!

Love the idea of pudding night!
We do the oven door thing too. Also, if I remember, I turn the oven off 5 mins before the food is ready so it carries on cooking using the residual heat.

Ooh, that’s a good tip, ta chuck!

I love the swapping thing! People don’t read like they used to and besides you can further learn and save by exchanging mags.
