I realised a while ago that I really missed the personal side of blogging, the posts where I literally just used to sit down and tell you what we've been up to so (and I have no idea if this is going to work) I thought we'd try something new. 😂.I thought I'd sit down on a Sunday morning and have a bit of a catch up - what's happened that week, anything exciting coming up and maybe even a quick round-up of blog posts from my other blogs. I have no idea if I have an interesting enough life to make every week worth reading but let's see, shall we?Miss Frugal passed … [Read more...]

Opening a bank account for my 16-year-old was so easy that it took me longer to find his passport than it did to do the application!This afternoon, I helped Master Frugal open his own bank account with Monzo and it was so easy that I thought I'd share it with you because it was so much easier than I expected!(BTW - I'm not working with Monzo at all, I'll explain below why we picked Monzo over the other options 😂 )The first reason we chose Monzo was that they advertise an 'easy' online account opening process which was a big sell to me after the nightmare we had trying … [Read more...]

Today, I'm going to share Miss Frugal's easy baked oats recipe because so many of you messaged me over on Instagram when I shared a photo of it earlier this week.This easy baked oats recipe makes a brilliant meal prep breakfast as you can cook it the night before but it's also great for lunch or a snack too as we discovered this week.  Miss Frugal decided to make me a bit of a healthy snack when I was working one afternoon (she's a star encouraging me as I'm trying to be healthier) and it was so nice that me and both of the kids just grabbed a spoon and ate some from the bowl … [Read more...]
