Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I'm very excited because my new (to me) writing bureau that I bought off our local Facebook selling group has just been delivered and I LOVE it. I've wanted one for so long but rarely see them in my price range anywhere so when I saw this one still up for sale after a few days for £65 I thought it was worth putting a cheeky offer in. £50 and it was mine and the lovely man even offered to deliver it for me for no extra charge. I was planning to paint it in a creamy white but now it's here, I'm not so sure.2. I keep hearing about how … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. My new Fridge Freezer arrived on Monday and although I love it, it's certainly a lot bigger than it looked when I bought it. We thought to measure the depth and width in the shop to make sure it fit where we wanted it but we didn't really consider the height of it until it was delivered.It's at least a foot taller than our old one which means I can't store anything on top of it like I used to so Monday night was spent in the kitchen re-organising! The problem I have is that I have too much 'stuff' in the kitchen and even the shelves that we … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. The kids are currently enjoying their second week off school and although I've had to work a few days this week, I have managed to sneak in a few days holiday this week so we've been trying to have as much fun as possible for as little money as possible. We've done lots of free things this week like trips to the beach, trips to the park, bike rides and we've even taken advantage of Miss Frugal's bargain child gym membership for lots of free swimming. We spent a lot of time on the garden over the Bank Holiday weekend so they've also been spending … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Not massively money saving but this morning we walked into town instead of taking the car - only about a mile and a half each way but we saved petrol and car parking and even more importantly, we had a lovely catch up while we were walking.2. We decided to make some homemade bracelets using the beads we bought off a lovely lady on our local Facebook selling site. The beads were a massive bargain at just £12 for two big bags of them - there are literally hundreds, all as pretty as these:We've now got some last minute Birthday gifts ready … [Read more...]

It's been a massively busy week this week and it feels like I haven't had time to do anything, let alone anything frugal but I've had a good think and managed to come up with five.... Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Miss Frugal is very particular about the style of her school skirt as she doesn't like it too short (I'm sure that won't last), she doesn't like it too tight and she certainly doesn't want a flarey style as she worries it'll blow up in the wind! She loves the skirt she has now though so when I saw them on sale this week in New Look, I bought an extra one in her … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I bought some lovely cushions on sale a few weeks ago from Dunelm Mill. They were reduced to £2 each and they were so pretty that I bought them intending to use them in my little living room makeover. As pretty as they were though, they just didn't go with anything else so I gave them to Miss Frugal to use on her bed as she loves girly cushions. The only problem is that the cushions she has have started taking over her bed so she ends up throwing them all on the floor every night and I end up nagging at her to pick them up again the next day. … [Read more...]
