Last week Master Frugal came rushing out of school and announced to us that he was in love and had asked his new girlfriend to marry him. She accepted even though another boy in their class also popped the question the same day as she said liked how Master Frugal didn't cry when he fell over at playtime.They've had so much fun together this week according to Master Frugal and he was looking forward to celebrating their one week anniversary today (he'd even written her a love letter).The only problem was that between last night when she'd told him that she loved him and first thing … [Read more...]
The Frugal Family on Tour with Stena Line….
A few weeks ago, I opened an e mail to find a lovely invitation from Stena Line to travel on one of their ferries as part of their National Ferry Fortnight celebrations. We hope you’ll agree that for families with children, ferry travel can turn a typically stressful journey into a fun and pleasurable one for all involved. With lots of room to roam and plenty of distractions (including the amazing view of the open sea!), travelling on Stena Line is fun for the entire family. How could I not say yes to a promise like that?The only weekend we could all get time off together was the weekend … [Read more...]

Convenience gone mad….
I couldn't help but laugh when I went to Tesco tonight and saw their new 'Easy Home Bake' range. The range consists of ready mixed ingredients for chocolate brownies, Victoria sponge cake and gingerbread among other things.They're like packet mixes for posh people!The Victoria sponge mix costs £3.50 which seems like a massive amount to me for a bit of flour, sugar and butter and a couple of eggs. Miss Frugal can whip up a Victoria sponge on her own and from memory in no time at all and it must cost less than a pound to make!I'm guessing that there is a market for these … [Read more...]
Top ten things to do before you’re ten….
As soon as the sun is shining my children want to be outside - whether it's playing out with their friends, riding their bikes or scooters up and down the street or doing something as a family. I think it's really important to encourage this as it's not only good for them to be playing outside in the fresh air, it encourages their independence, keeps them active and provides me with some much needed peace and quiet! Apparently not all families feel the same though according to new research from Persil Small and Mighty. Among other things, their research found that only 14% of children under … [Read more...]
Have some cake….
It's my Birthday today so I thought we could share some virtual cake (I'm not sharing the champagne in the fridge though) ;-) It's not a great birthday as they go as I have a husband upstairs ill in bed and two slightly grouchy children who are on the mend after a week where one or both of them have been ill for most of it. But, I do have a nice new handbag, some gorgeous new cushions and this lovely card to help cheer me up so I guess it's not all bad.... … [Read more...]
