Christmas isn't just about presents (no matter what your teenager might try and tell you), it's about spending time together and having fun so today I'm sharing our 24 days or Christmas Family Frugal Fun.Life tends to get very busy for us all in the run-up to Christmas so I try to make sure that we do at least one thing together as a family every day. Last year our lovely alternative advent calendar helped us to do this but this year I'm planning something different for our advent calendars so I've written a list of 24 Days of Christmas Frugal Family Fun which we'll print out and … [Read more...]
Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup {Healthy, Delicious and great for Slimming World}….
This Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato soup has been in my top ten posts every single day since I published it way back in January 2016 and since I'm making a batch for the freezer right now, I thought I'd share it with you again today!Remember I told you that my favourite Christmas present last year was a soup maker?Well, the novelty hasn't worn off and I'm using it just as often as I predicted I would when I first wrote about it.Most soups that I make in there don't really have a recipe that I can share with you because more often than not, I literally just … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {29th September 2017}….
1) This week we've been really trying to focus on No Spend Days and we've managed 3 since Sunday which is great for us - it would have been more but we had an unexpected school trip to pay for and I wanted to buy some flowers this morning as it would have been my brother's Birthday today. Tomorrow won't be a no spend day as I need to pop to the shop to get some things for our holiday next week but 3 out of 7 will do me for this week.If you want to focus on No Spend Days then I have a little no spend tracker you might like to use here.2) I've topped up my Kindle with free books … [Read more...]
How I updated my kitchen on a £10 budget….
Could your kitchen do with a bit of a refresh? I've just given my kitchen a super quick, super cheap budget makeover and I'm so pleased with it!We've got a few things that we want doing around the house over the next few months and to be honest, the kitchen wasn't even on my makeover radar until lovely Mr Frugal got out the paint one Friday night a few weeks ago and painted it a lovely clean white for me. We haven't painted it since we moved in so it was in desperate need of a refresh and seeing it look all white and lovely makes me very happy!We do have bigger plans for the … [Read more...]
Homemade Rainbow Layer Birthday Cake….
I definitely wasn't blessed with many baking skills so all I'll say about the homemade rainbow layer Birthday cake is that if I can make it, you certainly can!(This post may contain affiliate links - I'm just putting it out there so you know. You pay the exactly the same price but I'll get a few pennies too)I blame Pinterest for making me want to be one of those Mum's who whips out a beautifully decorated cake at a Birthday party filled with teenagers who probably would have been just as happy with a shop bought Colin the caterpillar cake! There I was innocently browsing through … [Read more...]
Great things never come from comfort zones….
This weekend I did something that was so far outside of my comfort zone that I genuinely considered not doing it! The fact that I did it was a bit of a game changer for me - here's why....I know the title of this post sounds very deep and philosophical - not like me at all - but I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself right now so I hope you can forgive the odd motivational quote or two. ;-)So, back in April, the UK Money Bloggers annual blogging conference and awards were announced. I was away for last year's even but honestly, even if I hadn't have been, I probably wouldn't have … [Read more...]
