You know the drill by now right? I give you a picture and you give me a caption to go with it....This photo is of Miss Frugal's obvious delight (not) at the very un-frugal children's cocktail we bought her in a Spanish bar last week. Considering the price of it and the fact it was delivered to her by a very handsome looking waiter, I would have expected a little more.... something! … [Read more...]
More growing up decisions to make….
Miss Frugal knows her way round a computer better than I do.From an early age, both my children have been given access to computers and the internet (obviously while sitting with me) and we've gradually progressed from sites like CBeebies to their current favourites, Moshi Monsters and Club Penguin.We use a lot of educational sites that our school recommend and her weekly homework is often internet based so lately we've spent time together learning how to search for information and images. I've also spent time showing things like how to use Word and how to send e mails (so she … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Hands….
I was torn this week between a picture I took ages ago and one that I took last week when we were on holiday - so I decided on a two for one special today ;-)This is the one I took last week - I ordered waffles and strawberries for breakfast and naturally, like any blogger would do, I got out my camera to take a photo before eating it. From pressing the button to take the picture to the picture actually being taken, this little hand appeared, helping itself to my breakfast!Here's the other picture I wanted to share, brother and sister holding hands and looking after each other. I … [Read more...]

It's filled with ideas for frugal and fun ideas to make sure you get the most out of this year's Summer … [Read more...]
What does ‘Frugal’ mean to you…..
Being Frugal means different things to different people.Some people are frugal as a way of life, lots of people are frugal out of necessity and some are frugal to enable them to free up money for other things.We come under the third category, we save money where we can so that we have more spare money to spend on the children and to do fun things with them. I want them to have a happy childhood and whilst I'm fully aware that money certainly doesn't bring happiness, the money that we manage to save means that we can take them on holiday, go camping, buy them treats, have family days … [Read more...]
If I had a lot of money….
You know when your children are quiet for more than 15 minutes and you start to worry about what they're up to?Well yesterday, Miss Frugal got herself some paper and a pen and sat at the dining room table for almost an hour in silence. She was making a list (I know, I'm so proud) of things that she would buy if she had a lot of money and when she was done, she made her list into this:I love the things she would buy although I do feel guilty about the felt tips that work one - I could possibly stretch our budget to that one without having to wait until we win the lottery ;-) I'm not … [Read more...]
