This brilliant little DIY Paint Chip calendar is just what you need to be more organised (and stylish at the same time).When I went to the Festival of Thrift in September, I bought an amazing little book of those little paint sample cards - which I now know are called paint chips. I had no idea what I was going to do with it and I walked away from it twice but I ended up going back and paying £3 for it because I just loved all the amazing colours and knew there would be so much that I could make with the colourful samples.See, how could I possibly not buy that!The first … [Read more...]
Quick and Easy Jelly Gummy Bears….
Today we're sharing out tried and tested (and re-tested) version of jelly gummy bears (and some syn free gummy sweets using the same recipe) along with a slightly embarrassing Pinterest fail version of their American cousins.The last time I made these I made Pink Prosecco jelly gummy bears and they were amazing....My children are obsessed with anything American - be it sweets, food or make-up (that last one is just Miss Frugal obviously ;-)) so when we found ourselves with a box of Jell-O they knew exactly what they were going to make - Jell-O Gummy … [Read more...]

Today's post is all about visiting the Top of the Rock!Visiting the Top of the Rock was at the top of my must-see list when we were planning what we were going to do during our trip to New York but due to a fear of heights, it was actually at the bottom of Miss Frugal's list and she really, really didn't want to do it!The Top of the Rock is the name of the attraction at the top of the 70 floors high Rockerfeller Centre in case you were wondering. ;-)I managed … [Read more...]
Four of my most spectacular Pinterest fails….
It's not exactly a secret that I'm not the most crafty of bloggers but I do like to try and be as creative as often as I can- not always with the best results though! Today I'm going to share some of my most spectacular Pinterest fails....I love Pinterest and get a lot of my inspiration from things that I see on there but the problem is, not being very creative and not wanting to spend money on extra materials means that often, I try and re-create something I've seen on Pinterest my own way.

What you need in your Frugal Cleaning Kit….
These days there's product upon product stacked on the supermarket shelves promising to give make your home sparkle and shine, but do you really need them?I definitely don't think you do although there are a few that I buy - Domestos bleach and Fairy Liquid are the two main ones that I can think of. Domestos because my Mam always used to say that the only bleach she would buy was Domestos and it's in my head now even though I know you can probably get cheaper bleach that's just as effective. I have tried a couple of times but always gone back to Domestos.Domestos because my Mam … [Read more...]
