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...]
A Christmas Frugal Family Update….
Lots has been going on in the Frugal Family house over the last few months so I thought I'd give you a bit of a family life update and share some of our Christmas decorations at the same time today...You might have seen in a couple of posts lately that we have a new addition to our little family!This is Monty, our new little puppy! He's a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu and he's an extremely cheeky, mischievous little guy who's demanding a lot of attention right now.We're working on the toilet training and so far, he's been a good boy who hasn't done any damage … [Read more...]
Five things a blogger would love for Christmas that won’t cost you a penny (and ten that will)….
When Mr Frugal and the kids asked me a few weeks ago what I wanted for Christmas, I told them that I didn't want anything at all but this week they've asked me again so I told them I'd have a think and get back to them with some ideas.The reason I originally told them that I didn't want anything is because we got our lovely little Monty last month and I'm after a Summerhouse for our garden so I'd rather the money that could be spent on a present for me went towards those two things which I know I'll appreciate a lot more in the long run.Having said that, I do know that it's quite … [Read more...]
