See this little fella, his name is Dustbin Beaver and he's a Moshi Monster figure - he's not just any Moshi Monster figure though, he's an ultra rare one.He comes in one of those packs that cost £1.99 for two figures - you don't know which one's you're getting until you open the pack. I came across him at a car boot sale this afternoon for the grand old price of 30p and being the Moshi expert that I am, I snapped him up along with a couple of others I knew would sell well on eBay.It took me two minutes to put him on eBay (using the eBay app on my phone) with a start price of 99p and a … [Read more...]

Indulge me while I have a proud parent moment….
I know lots of you have had parent's nights in the last week or so and I hope you're all feeling as proud as I do after ours last night.You might (but probably won't) remember that when Master Frugal was in Reception at school he was behind the rest of his classmates with both his reading and his writing. It just didn't seem to click with him like it did with his friends and as a result, his confidence suffered and it started to affect all aspects of his school work.This continued until about halfway through Year 1 and no matter what I did, I couldn't help him. I tried everything, … [Read more...]
Do you always have some month left over at the end of the money….
I love that saying - do you always have some month left over at the end of the money? I first saw it on a fridge magnet at a service station we stopped at once and from then on it's been my favourite saying.It doesn't matter how much money your monthly budget says you should have left over at the end of every month if the actual amount left in your bank account doesn't come anywhere close.

Get Organised – the free printable budget planner edition….
At the start of last month I shared with you all, how I work out our monthly budget and I was pleased to get lots of emails from you saying how helpful you'd found it and how much it had helped.One thing that did come across in the emails was that some people would prefer to have a form that they can print out and use to fill in their income and monthly costs to make it a bit easier. You could do a search online for 'free downloadable budget planner' but there are so many options available, many of which are affiliated with various debt management companies or other associations.
