Happy Summer Holidays! They have begun. We are planning the first Monday of the Holidays and in planning for the holiday it means knowing what to pack. We are doing days out and short holidays. I have been known to pack the world, but I have been reducing what I take and enjoy the surroundings rather than what I am going to wear.

So this Cheat Sheet is a guide what to packing depending on what your doing and where.

free activities, free APPs, free events, free pubic services, weekly printable

Hello! It is the start of a new week and it has been good, seeing England win against Norway. Check out my Vlog of my weekend journeys I took. Coming back from my sons last tennis lesson, went to Wimbledon and went to see my niece in a show: https://youtu.be/DWEQmkkhgV4

This weeks Cheat Sheet is all about What You Can Do for Free. I like to walk to get fit that costs nothing. I like use Youtube to do some training and visiting museums and last year my son and I tried out Parkrun. This is free and not for us but may suit someone and it literally you go onto the Parkrun website and register and then your given a barcode to scan but it costs nothing. Perhaps my son and I will try in a few years time as I wasn’t fully prepared and didn’t feel it, but many kids and adults take part and there is a outdoors gym and so I wanted to share things you can do for free and my Cheat Sheets are free to download and print.

Good Things You Can Get for FreeDownload

I like to use APPs like Notes, Journal and The fitness APPs which are free and came with my phone and good to keep notes of blog ideas and just a back up and just use what can cost me nothing and save for the things I do want to pay for.

I post these every Monday ACCEPT BANK HOLIDAYS and I hope you enjoy them.

free weekly printable, Giving to others, life as a mum, use up what you've got, weekly cheat sheet

Hello! I hope you all had a good Fathers Day. Sadly my dad is no longer alive physically but feel sometimes he is watching in spirit and be taking the mickey out of those in Heaven. My dad would be someone who’d have you in tears if myself and brother did something wrong and tears of laughter.

I wonder what he thinks about the world as we weren’t super wealthy as a family but we still didn’t go without and he would use what he had. He loved music, comedy TV mainly and films. His Idols were Kevin Keegan and John Wayne.

Times are hard at the moment, I give each month to the Trussell Trust the Food bank organisation and not sponsored but want to help families be able to have things to eat. The thought of a young child not able to have breakfast or dinner feels my heart with sadness and so this Cheat Sheet is about Use Up What You’ve Got.

I like to see my fridge empty, it means we have to use up what we have in the Food Cupboard that has sauces, spreads, tinned meats and other tin produce and in the freezer.

So please check out this weeks Cheat Sheet:

Use Up What You’ve GotDownload

These cheat sheets are free to download and print. I post at the beginning of each week except Bank Holidays.

Have a great week and please check out my Youtube channel where I share much more: https://www.youtube.com/@Carriechalloner

Its only if something is not working and its getting on your nerves and want to change. Your free to do what you want to do Do Your Own Thing

I like to save each week and has inspired me with this weeks Cheat Sheet.

So please check this weeks and I am posting on here for my Yearly Life Coaching Programme Summer Project 2026.

I am posting blogs every Friday, but cheat sheet every Monday except Bank Holidays.

Monitoring your finance and spend lessDownload

I have added a blank sheet should you wish to write or take notes on what you feel my tips are helpful and you’d like to do first and I work by making gradual changes. Each Monday I put money into my savings and I will see what has come out. You’ll see I put down that I have no spend days. I wasn’t going to buy clothes but I want to change my wardrobe a bit and I am into dresses and being a bit more feminine and I like to changing my style.

There are weeks where we don’t have enough food as it helps use up what we have and stop having too much waste. I wasn’t junk journaling but now I enjoy it and want to junk journal and love scrapbooking and invest in a nice journal and I making my own. Not sure when they will be available, but will let you know.

I have a planner dedicated to my finances. I did have a spreadsheet but my laptop stopped working and so lost all the files I had created and so write them down and prefer that actually as they won’t get lost.

There was a time where I was in debt and now I have paid it off I am glad I have money to save and more financially stable.
