Loved this series! Was amazing to see how you can have such a great social life without spending an absolute fortune!! X
Aw so glad to hear it Cat…. I do like to be out and about a lot so I just try and keep to inexpensive restaurants and free/modestly priced experiences and then it definitely can be done x
