Hasn't today been a gorgeous day?I've had the windows open, the washing on the line and I'm feeling happy because the sun's shining and I have a few days off work with the kids this week.We decided to start something we've been planning for a while this afternoon to take advantage of the good weather - we went on our first family photo walk. We first talked about this a few weeks ago because Master Frugal would like to start taking more photographs and Miss Frugal would like to start going out for walks to different places. A family photo walk is the two combined which should keep … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {13th Febuary 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. This isn't a massively frugal thing but we've been shopping for new fridge freezers this week and despite falling in love with a big American Style one, I chose a smaller and much cheaper one that has more freezer space than we have in our current one. I took a photo of the model number and came home to see if I could get it cheaper. I managed to get it £25 cheaper as I found a discount code on the 02 Priority Moments app so I'm really pleased I didn't buy it there and then!2. I've discovered a free car park that I can park in when I pop into … [Read more...]
Treat yourself to some ‘me’ time on a budget…
As much as I don't like the ever increasing commercialism of Valentines Day, I do actually like the day itself and the idea behind it. We never spend a fortune on gifts and we don't bother with cards but we do buy small gifts for each other and I always buy the kids something silly too!Around this time over the last few years I've written about how to be a cheap date and how to keep your romance alive on a budget and I've also shared my top 50 frugal date ideas with you but this year, I thought I'd share something different with you.This year, I want to focus on ways to love yourself … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {9th February 2015}….
I usually post my weekly meal plan over on Meal Planning Made Easy but today I thought I'd bore you all share it over here with you all. We didn't stick to our plan very well at all last week but I'm not overly bothered as we were all ill and we didn't break the budget because we were all about dippy egg and soldiers or soup - the most adventurous we got was egg fried rice I think!We're all feeling lots better now but still a bit washed out and tired so this week, it's comfort food all the way for us.... MondayTonight we're having homemade corned beef and potato pie - I made some … [Read more...]
Do more of what makes you happy….
Last year I wrote about how I wanted to help my children focus on the small things that make them happy (inspired by Karin's Embrace Happy philosophy) and I shared the Happy Books that we made together for them to write their happy moments in there.I still encourage them to write in their Happy books and just looking at some of the entries makes me smile. This is my personal favourite from Miss Frugal who obviously didn't fancy our planned trip to a local museum recently: We went to the museum and it was shut! But can I do more to help my children find their own Happy?First of … [Read more...]
12 Apps your Teen can’t live without….
Before I start, this post isn't meant to be a debate about when children are old enough for phones or an opportunity to point out that we managed perfectly well without phones when we were younger. It's not even a discussion about whether children should be allowed on social media although points of view are more than welcome as always if you really have to get in to that whole debate on here.The whole point of this post is to share with you some of Miss Frugal's favourite apps from her phone. In fact, when I say I'm going to share ten apps that your tween can't live without I clearly … [Read more...]
