When I was trawling through Pinterest a couple of weeks ago looking for some Easter themed cupcakes I came across lots of pictures of amazing mini egg pinata cakes which all had hidden mini eggs in the middle so they all popped out when you went to slice it. Over the weekend, I wanted to do some baking so when I realised I had some Smarties and some cute cupcake cases I thought I'd see if I could make some Chocolate Smarties Pinata Cupcakes....How to make Chocolate Smarties Pinata Cupcakes. 200g Sugar 200g butter 4 eggs A capful of vanilla essence 175g self raising flour 50g … [Read more...]
Three Prom dresses for under £7.50….
A couple of months ago I was sat with Miss Frugal watching a TV show about a group of girls getting ready for their proms and the cost of some of the dresses they were wearing was astronomical - I'm talking a month's worth of food shopping budget on the dress alone. By the time you add on the shoes, the bag and the professional hair and make up, you could probably pay for a family holiday!We have a good year or so left before we need to start thinking about prom and all that comes with it but I decided to prove to Miss Frugal that you don't need to spend a small fortune on a dress by … [Read more...]
21 beautiful homemade Spring wreath ideas….
Last year I made a really pretty homemade rag wreath which I hung in my little hallway so people see it as soon as they come in to my house. You honestly wouldn't believe how many people have complimented me on it and asked where I got it from so they could get one too. ;-)I'm going to make another one to switch it out as I fancy a bit of a change but I wanted to make something a little bit different this time - maybe something with flowers to celebrate the return of the sunshine. The problem is that there's so many ideas on Pinterest that I would love to make that I can't decide … [Read more...]
Pink Prosecco flavoured gummy bears….
These Pink Prosecco Flavoured Gummy Bears are the perfect grown-up homemade treat.The link for the gummy bear mould further down is an affiliate link - just putting it out there so you know. You pay the same price but I'll get a few pennies too.Last week Master Frugal asked me if we could try making a healthier version of his favourite sweets - Haribo Gummy Bears. I had no idea this was even possible but Pinterest assured me that if I had the moulds then I could make almost any flavour Gummy Bears using fruit and other healthier alternatives to the sugary sweets that he loves … [Read more...]
The cheapest way I found to use my phone abroad….
Remember me telling you that I'd switched our phones to a pay as you go plan which was so much cheaper than we were previously paying? Did I also tell you that even though we got so much more data than we had before for less money, the 8GB of data we get can only be used in the UK? If we want to use our phone abroad then we can have 500GB a day for something like £5.00.That doesn't seem like a huge amount of data when you consider that I use Facetime to keep in touch with home and do plenty of Instagramming and Googling for directions and things nearby to do and see. Anything over the … [Read more...]
Why our trip to New York didn’t go according to plan….
Very early last Thursday morning, Miss Frugal and I set off on our long awaited adventure to New York. We'd spent months researching what we wanted to do and saving up to be able to afford to do it all and we'd pretty much scheduled the majority of our time while we were there to make sure we didn't miss a thing.We were so well organised that we knew exactly what we were going to be doing each day, how to get there, how much it would cost, what was nearby and even where we would be eating! It was all detailed in our trusty New York notebook that we'd been scribbling in since we booked our … [Read more...]
