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...]
DIY Folded Paper Envelope Tutorial….
I'm actually not here right now, I'm having my annual mother and daughter long weekend away with Miss Frugal and hopefully, I'm having a great time. We've done something similar for the last couple of years and the men (well one man, one boy) of the house are more than happy to stay home without us and talk football and gaming without us rolling our eyes and changing the subject to something we actually understand. ;-)I will miss them though and as I always do, I'll Facetime every day and stay in touch as often as possible by text message but this year I've done something extra as well as … [Read more...]
Fifty things I want to do in my life {Free Printable}….
I'm absolutely not going to get all morbid here but something's happened lately that's reinforced my belief that life really is too short and that you never know what's going to happen from one day to the next. I'm not going to go into detail about what's happened as it's not really my story to tell but needless to say, it's made me think about life in general and all of the things that I want to do while I can.Because I love an excuse for a good list, I've spent some time writing down everything that popped into my head when I thought about the things I'd like to experience. It's an odd … [Read more...]
