Well, now MySteal.co.uk is combining those two lovely things (voucher aggregation and group couponing). The site provides users with a daily view of all the city deals in once place for 71 cities and counting. Ace!

Currently they are partnering with Groupon-MyCityDeal, Groupola, LivingSocial Townhog,  Wowcher, VivaVoucher, kgb-deals, Likebees, Wahanda, LondonsBest and mypiggyback. What the who? Right, I didn’t know there were that many of these sites out there.

I reckon you should bookmark this and give it a try. The sites are filled with the kind of deals that are nice to have rather than need to have (spa day anyone?) but there is always a possiblity of getting a thrifty date night or a seriously deserved massage at a rock bottom price.

The site is run by Candy Delaney who aims to be your virtual 1950’s housewife by providing you with a free daily email with a recipe for your evening supper Monday to Friday. Each recipe has:

• No more than 550 calories
• No more than 10% saturated fat, but typically less than 5%
• A total preparation and cooking time of 30 minutes
• Wholesome ingredients, such that by the end of the week, you will have ticked off all nutritional guidelines

The best part is she sends you a weekly shopping list each Friday with the ingredients labeled by day of week so you’re extremely organised. Going out on Thursday? Don’t buy the Thursday items on the list. She also helps you sort out your kitchen from the get-go by giving you a list of “stock-up staples” – basics you should always have on hand.

Here are a few recent recipes to give you an idea of what you’re in for:

If you’re a mum or dad of a 6-9 year old I think you’ll really like this site. The content includes parenting advice and tips with a focus on skill-building. There are sections on helping your kids learn new skills, like inline skating and skipping – two things we did a lot of last weekend! Curiously, however, there was no post on learning to ride a bike which would be REALLY useful.

There is also a section called Skillscape which is a map of the UK’s best spaces for kids to play and practise their skills, from parks and playgrounds to sports clubs. You can contribute by mapping your kids’ favourite activity spaces (the harder-to-find and more local, the better) and if you share a space you’ll be entered to win a family holiday for four. If you’re staycationing this summer Skillscape is a great place to get ideas for places to go.
