Miss Frugal and her friends have a club. I've absolutely no idea what they do in their little club, I just know that when they have their meetings at our house they giggle a lot and require me to supply lots of jaffa cakes. They have their own club rules and everything....Shame they don't stick to the rules judging by the amount of arguing over that goes on who's the boss of the club ;-) … [Read more...]
Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Cheats Naan Bread Pizza
Guess what? After more than two months of being ill and four (possibly 5) courses of antibiotics and steroids, I think I actually feel better! I have gone a whole day without having a mad coughing fit and I have my voice back enough that I can actually hold a conversation without squeaking at some point.This weeks meal plan reflects the fact that I finally feel able to cook properly again - we've had lots of slips up recently where I have been too tired/ill/miserable to cook so we've had more ready meals and takeaways lately than I would like to admit but in my defence, I just haven't … [Read more...]
How to have a Frugal Christmas – Free Santa letters….
Even though Miss Frugal is still undecided about whether or not she actually believes in Santa, we've been writing our annual letters to Santa this afternoon. Actually, for someone who might not be a believer, she's asked for enough things - an Ipod touch, a buggy, a till and Hello Kitty 'stuff', whatever that may be! That's Santa in his sleigh in case you weren't sure....I love Master Frugal's, he's asked for a Nintendo 3DS and a camera so nothing too expensive there then ;-)We use the Royal Mail Santa Service to send our letters to Santa - As long as your child's letter states their … [Read more...]

My Proudest Moment….
After school tonight Miss Frugal came home and asked if we could tidy her room together, which is a mini miracle in itself although it isn't the reason for the title of the post. The reason for my pride this evening are these few surprise discoveries (please bear in mind that I am a stationary-aholic myself): 8 pencil cases filled with all sorts of lovely pens, pencils and other stationery - I had no idea she had so many! A special drawer dedicated to notebooks - 26 in total. A pencil case filled with buttons that she's found when we're out and about. And then there's … [Read more...]
Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Homemade Fishcakes….
I went to the supermarket this afternoon with my little shopping list having planned our meals for this coming week but when I saw the overflowing reduced section I had a complete rethink and changed my plan completely based on the bargains I got. I'm really pleased as we have some lovely meals coming that we wouldn't normally eat due to the prices they usually are....Sunday - Homemade Fishcakes, chips and mushy peas (see below) I managed to pick up some Haddock for 59p for two fillets which made enough for us all- Bargain!Monday - Homemade chicken nuggets and potato wedges for the … [Read more...]
