Remember me telling you that I'd switched our phones to a pay as you go plan which was so much cheaper than we were previously paying? Did I also tell you that even though we got so much more data than we had before for less money, the 8GB of data we get can only be used in the UK? If we want to use our phone abroad then we can have 500GB a day for something like £5.00.That doesn't seem like a huge amount of data when you consider that I use Facetime to keep in touch with home and do plenty of Instagramming and Googling for directions and things nearby to do and see. Anything over the … [Read more...]
Riso Al Salto – A great way to use up leftover risotto….
I love homemade risotto but it's one meal that I can never seem to get my portion sizes right and I almost always end up with more than we need for one meal which isn't a bad thing as I've found a great way to use up my leftover risotto - Riso al Salto. In fact, we love Riso al Salto that much that I do sometimes deliberately make extra just so we can have this for lunch the following day.Riso al salto is traditionally the way that leftover risotto would be used up in Italy but I've also made a Spanish version using leftover paella which is almost, but not quite as delicious.How to … [Read more...]
Live well, spend less….
I'm sure you'll all be busy having lots of family fun today but I wanted to quickly let you know that I've just set up a Facebook group for those of us who want to live well but spend less.I love blogging and that's not going to stop at all (in fact, I have lots of plans for this next few months) but sometimes I come across a great deal online or I have a great quick tip or idea to share and a blog isn't always the best place to get that message out there. With the Facebook group, I can quickly post from my phone wherever I am so I'm really excited about this new way to share things with … [Read more...]

Why our trip to New York didn’t go according to plan….
Very early last Thursday morning, Miss Frugal and I set off on our long awaited adventure to New York. We'd spent months researching what we wanted to do and saving up to be able to afford to do it all and we'd pretty much scheduled the majority of our time while we were there to make sure we didn't miss a thing.We were so well organised that we knew exactly what we were going to be doing each day, how to get there, how much it would cost, what was nearby and even where we would be eating! It was all detailed in our trusty New York notebook that we'd been scribbling in since we booked our … [Read more...]
