#toptips #charityshop #frugal #eco Back to my fav way of contributing to charity whilst having minimal impact on the environment At a charity shop today I bought 2 shirts £11, a furry steering wheel cover £1, a plate £1 and a mystery bag £5 (1 book, 1 mug, 1 purse, 6 items of clothing: returned 4)

Today I went to my local High St. 1st stop the #library for a free cuppa & read. Next, a charity shop- Radley bag (£10), a collage picture frame (£2) & an old china plate for my tea party (50p). Next some bits from the hardware store, some bargains from Coop & a cuppa in a cafe #charityshop #bargain

Wait’ll you hear what Donald Trump says about his Jesus picture. No matter what you guess…You’ll be wrong. 😂 Seriously. He’s lost his mind.

@deborahmeaden.bsky.social Hello Deborah Hope you had a good Easter Just wanted to give you feedback on Fussy. Best deodorant ever!! Do you think my family would take it the wrong way if I bought them each one to gift at our next get together

Nail on the head (pref in his)

He is foul & clearly suffering with severe mental health issues. The MAGAs who voted for him and continue to support him are culpable & responsible for the deaths of children & civilians, wicked treatment of immigrants, the collapse of the world economy and the redrawing of alliances #25amendment

#toptip Water is an expensive commodity especially when on a water meter. It's a precious resource too. There are many ways to save water

Just as I thought he couldn't say or do anything worse than the appalling, criminal, sociopathic nonsense he does and says, he posts this. I'm seething (again and again and again...)

Just had this flagged with me. This is disgusting. If Kemi Badenoch had one ounce of leadership in her, she would condemn this. I don’t want any faux sadness from her or Nick Timothy when one of us is hurt or worse. This is how low the Conservative Party have sunk.

#toptips for saving energy and money. This is more vital than ever Don't drive unless essential If you do drive slowly & smoothly Car share Work from home if possible Layer up so you need to heat your home less Don't fly if possible Online shopping = pollution & fuel use #environment #saving

Being a chronic insomniac is so tiring! I've learnt to exist on very little sleep. Has anyone got any tips on how to get to sleep? #insomnia

@feministory.bsky.social Two interesting and noteworthy women whose stories are rarely told are Mary Frost of Newport, South Wales and Betsi Cadwaladr of North Wales. Their lives and achievements would be of interest to your followers

Have you thought about the relationship between your #coffee and the #environment or life of the workers? The #EthicalConsumer has an excellent guide to the ethics of coffee. Nescafé, Nespresso and Costa are brands to avoid, Suma and Cafe Direct are highly rated #fairtrade #climate #ethical

I love cup of #tea. To avoid plastic in bags I have gone back to loose tea (it's cheaper too). There are 2 types of #plastic in teabags: in the bag itself and in the glue used to seal them. Check out www.ethicalconsumer.org for a guide to the best and worst brands. #frugal #plasticfree #eco

I love #reading but books are costly. I buy them from our local bookshop rather than the evil Amazon if I think they will be a keeper or to gift after I have read them. Today I loaned my book club read from the #library saving £9 & supporting a valued institution #frugalliving #moneysaving #books

It's easy to #recycle glass through bottle banks and kerbside collection. #Reuse is better. Save every glass jar and lid. If you don't make jam/chutney then someone else will be grateful for them. Offer on local social media groups. They'll be snapped up. 💚 #green #ecoliving

Today's #green #toptip As it costs so much to have an item repaired most people throw out & buy new The answer is a repair café where you can have items repaired for free Go to www.repaircafe.org to find your nearest one I'm getting my record player repaired soon #repair #eco #environment #frugal

I'm having a social media break starting tomorrow. Things to do, people to see, family to support, gardens to tend to, books to read and music to enjoy See you soon x

YES

If you want to live as plastic free as possible have you ever thought about chewing gum? A lot of it is made with a type of plastic polymer! In the UK plant based gums are now available such as Chewsy. Encourage your supermarket to stock them #plasticfree #litterfree #greenliving

I've discovered eco friendly refillable solid deodorants 🥳 I have tried many 'natural' antiperspirant/deodorants and none have done the trick I gave Fussy a go and love it. Great smell, refillable, natural, compostable and it's effective (I'm not on commission!) #green #toptip #ecofriendly

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃😃😃🎉🥳💚💚

Use hard soap rather than liquid soap in a plastic bottle It's lasts for a long time, no plastic, more economical. If anyone doesn't want to share one, have one each! #frugalliving #plasticfree #reduce #eco
