Do you want to know a cheeky little secret about how to get cheaper car insurance? Before I share the secret on how to get cheaper car insurance, let me tell you why I'm a bit car insurance mad at the moment. It's because Miss Frugal is 17 in a couple of weeks and she is campaigning hard right now for a car.The car itself isn't the issue as we have some money set aside for that as it was always our aim to get the kids a car when they passed their test. The issue is the car insurance, which I've had some quotes for that would make your eyes water. I knew it … [Read more...]
73 Things about ME….
OK, I've got something a bit different for you today. I'm going all old school blogging and joining in with the '73 things about me' post that's currently doing the rounds on various blogs.I haven't done anything like this in years but when I first started blogging they were the in thing to do but I've had lots of new followers lately so if nothing else, it's a chance to get to know me a little bit better. 1. What is your usual Starbuck’s order? Iced Chai Latte although I don't treat myself to one too often! There's a Starbucks in the building where I work that sells the drinks … [Read more...]
#BlastFromThePast – School Holiday Letters….
Every now and again, something happens to remind me of a post I’ve written at some point over the last 10 years or so that I’ve been blogging and I go back and dig out the post to have a quick read. Sometimes, I wish I could share the post all over again with you so I thought once a month I’d do exactly that and share an old post.Today’s post is about the traumas of Summer Holidays gone by but before I start, I should say that the reason I remembered about this post was that I was thinking about how the Summer Holidays have changed now that the kids are that bit older. At 16 … [Read more...]
How to help your child become a Confident and Happy Traveller….
The moment I took the photo below was the moment I realised that Miss Frugal was a more confident and happy traveller than I am. We had just navigated our way across Heathrow to get from the gate where our internal flight landed to the gate where our flight to Los Angeles was departing from and she led the way the whole time.I was panicking about the short connection time we had, whether I'd need a wee while the seatbelt sign was on, if the passports were still where I'd put them in my bag, and whether the people in the posh seats would be dressed up smart (we got upgraded at the gate) but … [Read more...]
Essential Oil Mermaid Bath Bombs….
I'm loving sharing my little DIY projects with you lately and I've been dying to share the essential oil mermaid bath bombs with you since Miss Frugal made them a few weeks ago.Miss Frugal went through a bit of a phase where she'd spend most of her pocket money in Lush on those expensive bath bombs that they sell for anywhere between £3 and £5!I have a rule where I try not to interfere with what the kids want to spend their own money on because I don't think they'll learn if they're simply doing what I tell them to do when it comes to money. Does that make sense?So even … [Read more...]
Review: 9/11 Museum, New York…
Visiting the 9/11 museum in New York was one of the most sobering experiences of my life and it took me a while to process the things I saw and heard in there.The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is a memorial and museum in New York City commemorating the September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed 2,977 people, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed sixI've been wanting to tell you about our visit to the 9/11 museum in New York for a while but every time I started to write up a review, I stopped because I don't think any words could ever convey the emotion … [Read more...]
