I thought I'd do a bit of a round-up of the best refer a friend schemes today so you can earn some extra money whilst helping your friends earn some too! Word of mouth is probably the most powerful form of advertising right now! It's a fact that people are much more likely to give their custom to a company if someone they know has already had a good experience with them and in the days of social media, it's super easy to tell your friends and to share sign up links with them which is why so many companies have great refer a friend schemes. They want to … [Read more...]
Make a personalised Summer Holiday Bucket List for your Family….
I can't believe that the kids break up from school in a couple of weeks! That means that parents up and down the country have started to think about how they're going to entertain the kids for the long Summer break which also means that now is a great time for me to share this idea for you to make a personalised Summer Holiday Bucket List for your family.The Summer Holidays are a bit different for us these days. Miss Frugal left school last month and has plans to (hopefully) get a job over Summer so she can earn some money before starting college in September and both she … [Read more...]
Wynyard Hall Gardens in the Summer…
A couple of years ago, I shared some photos from our visit to the lovely Wynyard Hall gardens but because of the time of year we visited, the gardens weren't at their best. Today, I wanted to share some pictures of the gardens in the Summer...A couple of week's ago on Instagram, I shared a post about how much I'm enjoying taking photos of all things plants and flowers lately. It appears that Miss Frugal not only read this post but actually took note because yesterday, she actually got up early and suggested that we head to Wynyard Hall Gardens for the morning - just the two of … [Read more...]
Happy 10th Blog Birthday to The Diary of a Frugal Family….
I sat down this weekend and realised that today is actually the 10th Birthday of this little blog. How on earth did that happen?I have no idea what made me sit down one day and decide to set up a blog - I mean, don't get me wrong, I had my reasons for wanting some sort of platform to record our family's journey but a blog? I didn't even read blogs myself at the time so I genuinely can't remember what made me set one up and decide to share our lives online with anyone who cared to read.I can't tell you how pleased I am that I did though because blogging has genuinely changed our … [Read more...]
#BlastfromthePast – Random text messages from an 11 year old….
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 some of the random text messages that Miss Frugal sent me when she was the grand old age of 11...The reason I remembered about this post was that 16-year-old Miss Frugal sent me a text message this week with a screenshot of a … [Read more...]
The ‘REAL’ cost of Prom….
How much does prom really cost? Read on and I'll tell you the real cost of prom for us...As you might already know, last week was Miss Frugal's prom which is a night she's been looking forward to since she was in junior school. Whatever you might think of prom personally, to your average teenage girl, it's a big deal. A huge deal and I wanted it to be a special night for her.It's wasn't cheap but I didn't expect it to be really as I read last year that the average spend on prom was somewhere between £500 and £800. That's way more than I had any intention of spending at the … [Read more...]
