Last Friday, the day of the long awaited JLS concert finally arrived. I think I was more excited than she was, obviously because I couldn't wait to see her face when she saw her favourite group on stage, nothing to do with the little schoolgirl crush that I may possibly have on Marvin (who is very lovely)! After spending a very un-frugal amount at the merchandise stand, Miss Frugal apparently couldn't wait a second longer to go and find our seats so we ended up being practically the first people sat down....We 'bumped' into the support act, NVS, on one of our many trips to the … [Read more...]
Quick Craft – Make an Olympic Trophy….
A couple of years ago we made some trophies out of a toilet roll, a piece or card and some shiny gold paint and today, when I read that Maggy from RedTedArt was having a bit of an Olympic Get Crafty, I decided to dust off our trophy post and share it with you again. After all, you never know when you're going to need to make a trophy at short notice, especially during the Olympics ;-)For each trophy you need two pieces of card cut out in the shape of a trophy, just a bit bigger than your toilet roll. I’m really not very arty but I managed to make one and then used it as a template for … [Read more...]
Our First Broken Heart….
Last week Master Frugal came rushing out of school and announced to us that he was in love and had asked his new girlfriend to marry him.

The Frugal Family on Tour with Stena Line….
A few weeks ago, I opened an e mail to find a lovely invitation from Stena Line to travel on one of their ferries as part of their National Ferry Fortnight celebrations. We hope you’ll agree that for families with children, ferry travel can turn a typically stressful journey into a fun and pleasurable one for all involved. With lots of room to roam and plenty of distractions (including the amazing view of the open sea!), travelling on Stena Line is fun for the entire family. How could I not say yes to a promise like that?The only weekend we could all get time off together was the weekend … [Read more...]

So here you go, I've provided the photo and now you have to provide the caption for it by leaving me a comment below....Check out the rest of the posts in the Saturday Caption linky here ;-) … [Read more...]
Selling on eBay – Your questions answered….
Hands up those of you who have used eBay at some point to sell your unwanted things? If you haven't, you're missing out on an easy way to make some extra cash! I wrote a guide to using eBay before Christmas as a guest post on the lovely Melaina's Transatlantic Blonde blog and I've also mentioned eBay on here a few times so I often receive e mails and tweets asking me questions about how to use eBay to sell unwanted items and make some extra money. The most common questions are below with my answers but if you have any other questions (or answers), please feel free to let me know in the … [Read more...]
