Dear SpammersI really don't know where you all got my e mail address from although I suspect that I must be on the country's most gullible people database, but I would like to request that you refrain from e mailing me a gazillion times a day trying to sell me your super potent viagara tablets or trying to interest me in a penis extension. A waste of your time and mine as I understand that you need a penis to partake in either of those things and I most definately do not have one (although I will forward the penis extension e mail to Mr Frugal).Whilst I have your attention, I am also … [Read more...]

What a Miserable Day….
It's a bit miserable outside today isn't it? Grey skies and drizzly rain mean that we're not going far today. Miss Frugal is still at her friends house and Master Frugal is really missing her.

My Monthly Budget….
Every few months or so I review our monthly budget to see where we can save a bit extra, it's always me that does this as Mr Frugal genuinely does not have a clue about money.

All Grown Up….
All grown up and ready to go for her first official sleep-over....I pity her friend's mum as I'm pretty sure there'll be very little sleep going on tonight! … [Read more...]
Proud of Myself….
We've just been to Asda to get Miss Frugal's friend a birthday present fortonight's sleepover and on the way out we saw an advert for Lurpak buttersayingPride - You won't find it in a ready mealI love it, it sums up one of the reasons I love cooking things from scratch for my family, the satisfaction I feel when we all sit down to a meal that I have made. My meals are basic at the moment but I am enjoying cooking now and I'm starting to have more confidence in the kitchen.The other reason, which is my main motivation for learning to cook is the amount of money that I save. If I plan what we … [Read more...]
