It's getting to that time of year when our thoughts turn to the summer. We've had glorious weather this bank holiday but knowing the Great British weather it probably won't last too long. So, if you're planning to escape to sunnier lands but you are operating on a shoestring budget, I'll show you how to get a brand new wardrobe without breaking the bank.
Whether your holiday is in a few short weeks or not until the end of the summer season, you can never buy your holiday clothes too early. In the next couple of months, the price of summer gear will shoot through the roof and you're likely to be left looking at the stuff that nobody else wanted.
One of my favourite shops for summer holiday clothes is
Matalan. They have loads of great stuff and it's all reasonably priced as well. But don't forget that you have to be a member to shop there. If you don't have a card, you can sign up for one in store.

It's coming up to the end of April and just about everyone is trying to think ahead to the summer even the miserable weather isn't helping much. To be honest, I'm expecting a summer that is similar to last year; cold and wet. So, I've booked a holiday!
I know it's still a few months away until I will be jetting off to a week of golden sands and hot sunny weather but, being a frugal girl, I thought that I would start preparing early.

When it comes to modern gadgetry I have a take it or leave it approach and, when it comes to my annual stint in the sun, I take the second option every time.
My love of going back to basics rises ten-fold when I'm on holiday, with a sarong, an oversized beach bag, a bottle of water and a few coins in the local currency all I need to fully enjoy my stay abroad.
But recent research has revealed that my natural ability to distance myself from items including e-readers and smartphones is not shared with the rest of the population with a poll of Britons in management roles, carried out by the travel agent Sunshine.co.uk revealing that UK bosses face a daily battle to switch off on holiday.

I don't normally announce our holidays on my blog, just in case burglars
are reading and stuff, but this one I couldn't keep quiet about... we
are going on hols! We have been assisted by the lovely
HomeAway.co.uk and
will be staying in a beautiful gite just near enough to both Paris and
Champagne to be exciting. We went to Champagne a few years ago, well
actually it's more like 7 years ago, oooh that's scary. We had the most
wonderful week away, traipsing from Champagne houses with big grins on
our faces. It was unbelievably cheap to have a tour of each place, about
£5 - and for that you could basically have as much Champagne as you
could drink, absolute bliss, best holiday ever.
This time, we have to choose somewhere a bit more appropriate to stay for our two boys, so we have chosen this
fabulous gite which is located in an actual Champagne vineyard, how cool is that...

Money Saving Tips
The Mediterranean has more than a few gems and the island nation of Malta is no exception. Malta is famed for its Sicilian-inspired cuisine, nods to its British colonial heritage and its impressive baroque architecture within Valletta. While the tourist paths of Spain, Italy and France are well-worn, Malta still manages to retain a unique charm.
Here are just some of the ways you can enjoy the splendour of Malta:

Heading off abroad has always been a time to splurge rather than save and, while costs such as accommodation and flights are always factored into our holiday spend, a whole host of added extras can really stretch travellers' budgets to breaking point. Far from our money being spent on luxuries such as a candlelit dinner for two on the beach or a sunset cruise, our holiday costs can mount up in a number of unexpected ways. Here are just a few:
