I know I'm always telling you about ways to save on your gas and electricity but today I wanted to share with you this:It's my latest energy bill, showing that I'm £858.07 in credit! How fantastic is that?We've tried really hard to reduce our energy usage around the house using all of the tips that I regularly share with you on here but as well as the energy we've saved by reducing our consumption, we've also saved by switching to a different provider.I think a lot of people don't realise how easy it is to switch providers. Everything stays exactly the same other than the company … [Read more...]
The End of an Era….
This morning was the morning that I realised that my little girl isn't really a little girl anymore!She's nine now and I know I'm probably a little biased but she seems so much more grown up than a lot of her friends at school, even so, I was surprised when she asked me this morning if we could take all of her Princess posters down from her bedroom walls as she was too old for them now.I wasn't too surprised when she showed me what she wanted to put up in place of the Princess posters because she's getting more into music and celebrities lately but I think her Dad might have a … [Read more...]

Moshi Monsters – A Parenting Dilemma….
I have a Moshi Monster related dilemma but it's not what you'd think - I'm not about to ask you what you think about letting children on Moshi Monsters (an online game where children adopt and care for a monster) as that ship's already sailed. Miss Frugal's been playing on there for more than a year now and Master Frugal has just set up his own little monster so he can play online too.My dilemma is actually about those little collectable Moshi Monster collectable figures you can buy - the ones that are £1.99 for a pack of two but you don't know which ones you're getting until you've … [Read more...]
Growing up is hard (and expensive)….
It's not easy this parenting lark is it?Not so long ago, birthday parties for Miss Frugal and her friends consisted of an hour at soft play followed by some jelly and ice cream but now at the grand old age of nine, those days seem to be long gone. In the last few months alone we've had a limo party, a pamper party, a nail art party and this week, tea at Pizza Hut. Preparations for the parties have changed as well - there's no more cute frilly party dresses for a start. Getting ready now takes a lot longer and involves carefully selected (by her not me) outfits and a handbag … [Read more...]
