I have an agreement with Miss Frugal that I won't share photos or stories about her on here without her agreement which is absolutely fine but today is her 16th Birthday which means that the rules don't apply, right?I'm not going to get all mushy because I don't want to be the recipient of a teenage eye roll today.But what I am going to do is share some of the things that I want Miss Frugal to remember on her 16th Birthday... NOTHING she ever does will make me love her any less! It's so important to me that she knows that there is nothing that she can do that will … [Read more...]
Win a copy of ‘Create Your Own Happy’….
Last week my lovely bloggy friends Becky and Penny released the most amazing book!The book is called 'Create Your Own Happy' and is aimed at children aged between 7 and 11 although if you're anything like me, you'll enjoy it as much as the kids will.The book is laid out in three sections - the first one is all about how to make yourself happy, the second section is about making other people happy which in turn makes you happy and the final section is about making the world a happier place which again, is going to help make you happy.The ability to take control of your own … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {14 September 2018}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, I do want to say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.For obvious reasons (well obvious if you read this … [Read more...]
Why you should ALWAYS trust your instincts as a parent….
I mentioned briefly in last Friday's five frugal things post that Master Frugal had suffered a concussion and wasn't doing too well but things took a nasty turn on Saturday so I thought I'd give you a bit of an update - more to keep my mind off things as I'm currently sat next to his bed in hospital while he sleeps and as we’re now on day 4 I am really, really bored as well as being super tired.So, last Thursday he tripped over his shoelaces at school and banged his head. He didn’t think much of it at the time but he started to feel sick at lunchtime and by the end of the school day he … [Read more...]
Am I being unreasonable: the school uniform edition….
I want to have a little rant today about school uniform rules!I should start by saying that I'm all for school uniform and completely understand the need for guidelines and rules. What seriously annoys me is the decision that what was suitable to be worn as part of the school uniform in July is no longer suitable for the following September. Replacing perfectly good clothes is not only a waste of money but it's just wasteful in general. During the Summer term, our school announced some uniform changes that would take effect from this September.The new changes meant that the … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {7 September 2018}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.I have TOTALLY struggled with this post today for two reasons - the first reason is that I usually write this post on a Thursday night but we spent most of last night at the hospital with a bit of a scare over Master Frugal.He had a fall at school and not long after started being sick and by the time we picked him up, he was looking grey and was pretty groggy and confused. Long … [Read more...]
