Ear piecing for boys – yay or nay….
Today Miss Frugal is going to get her ears pierced. Possibly.I'm happy for her to get them done, after all, I had mine done when I was younger than her but we've been away the last week and we'd decided that today was going to be the day as I want her to have had them in for as long as possible before she goes back to school in September.But she's woken up today and can't decide if she really does want them doing, so we'll have to see what happens.One person who very definitely does want pierced ears (or rather ear to be more precise) is Master Frugal who is desperate to have his … [Read more...]
The best way to watch Sunderland Airshow….
We look forward to the Sunderland Airshow every year and every year we go, get stuck in lots of traffic on our way to the park and ride, watch some fantastic flying displays and then get stuck in lots more traffic on the way home. The Airshow itself is amazing,especially for Mr Frugal who like to think of himself as a bit of an expert because he can name most of the planes that we see, but the traffic that we inevitably get stuck in usually means that the day isn't as enjoyable as it could be.So we had high hopes for this years Airshow when we were invited to watch it from a DFDS ferry … [Read more...]

#SummerofFrugalFun – Encouraging reading and writing through the School Holidays….
Is it mean that I plan to make sure that we spend time on reading and writing this Summer?We're concentrating on reading because although both children are doing really well at reading, I feel like they usually only read when they have to and they rarely read just for fun which is I would love them to do.My idea to help with this is to have a reading chart each which we've just made together:We have some stickers to stick in each square each time we read for 20 minutes and when all the squares are filled, we'll have a nice day out as a reading reward. Don't tell them but we've got … [Read more...]

If you were going to buy a TV, you'd make sure you were getting the best deal on the TV you wanted wouldn't you?So if you're planning on going out for the day you really should be spending a few minutes before you go to make sure that you're paying as little as possible to go wherever it is that you're going.It takes hardly any time at all to do and could save you a fair amount so it's definitely worth taking the time to look around to check what the best deal is.
