Hand up if you've promised yourself that you're going to make 2018 the year you lose weight/tone up/get fit?If your hand is up (even metaphorically) then you'd be in good company, especially as my hand is right up there with yours!Getting fit and losing weight is one thing but I know countless people who have signed up for a gym during the super-motivated first stages of a New Years Resolution and regretted it within weeks so I wanted to share this post with you today in the hope that I save someone from potentially making a very expensive mistake.You absolutely do NOT need a … [Read more...]
85 things to do with your family this year….
Have you had a think about what you want from 2018? If one of those things is to spend more time with your family then this is definitely the post for you as I'm sharing my list of 85 things to do with your family this year.This year, Miss Frugal will turn 16 and Master Frugal will hit 13 so to me, it's more important than ever that I spend as much time as I can having fun with the kids because I'm very aware that at some point soon, they're going to decide that it's not cool to spend time with their parents. ;-)I've been having a think of some things that we can do together at … [Read more...]
My 2018 word of the year….
I shared some word of the year ideas with you all earlier this week and today, I'm going to share what my word of the year is going to be for 2018 and explain a bit more about why I always choose a word to be my personal theme for the year.I know I say this every single New Year's Eve on here but I genuinely love New Year. I feel like it's a great time to take stock of my life and review what went well in the previous year and what I want to change going forward into the next year.For the last few years, I've chosen a word of the year on top of the usual New Year's resolutions and … [Read more...]
My Wanderlust update….
Last year, I made a promise to myself that, as a family, we would travel as much as we could afford to during 2017. I've been reflecting on 2017 over the past few days so I thought I'd share a little update with you to see how we got on.If you're interested in know why we chose to spend a good proportion of our spare money on travel during 2017 then you can find out why here but the result of our decision was that we spent a lot of time hunting for bargains and saving money where we could to be able to afford to pay for our travel plans. It's not a decision we took lightly because … [Read more...]
Three Ways I got FREE Christmas presents this year….
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! I wasn't sure if we would because it was the first year without my Dad joining us as he wasn't well enough and the kids were both quite poorly with this bug that's going around. After a lovely Christmas Eve visit with my Dad and thanks to the magic of Lemsip, Vicks and Olbas Oil, we had a very low key, chilled day at home which was so nice and so different to how we usually spend Christmas Day. The kids were super pleased opening their presents this year and we were just as pleased as we managed to get some great deals and even better - we managed … [Read more...]
Word of the Year ideas….
OK, I know it's only boxing day but I've been putting some thought into what my word of the year will be next year and although I'm not going to share that with you until tomorrow, I am going to share some word of the year ideas with you today that might help you choose what your word of the year 2018 is going to be.I always choose a word of the year and unlike a New Year's Resolution which is very specific and often forgotten about by the end of January, my word of the year stays with me throughout the year. It's not a specific goal or target that I want to reach, it's something I … [Read more...]
