This is the second time I've started to write this post because the first time around went into a fair amount of detail about something that's been worrying me for a few months and turned into a rant about my doctors. I think I was up to about 700 words before I got to the happy part so I deleted it and I'm going to give you the much abbreviated version instead.Basically, a spot appeared on my arm which wouldn't go away started to look crusty. I stupidly Googled 'crusty spot on arm' and you can imagine what comes up. The doctor told me that he couldn't tell what it is but it should be … [Read more...]
Can a book really change your life?
Before I got my Kindle, I used to love nothing more than wandering around the local charity shops looking for new (to me) books to read. I'd read them and then hang on to the books I loved because I would often re-read favourite books. The problem was that my favourite books pile ended up overtaking the bookshelf and eventually a big corner of the garage too.So when Mr Frugal presented me with a Kindle as a gift one day, I was a little bit disappointed that he'd wasted his money as I knew I'd never be able to enjoy reading a book on it. He'd bought me it almost as soon as it came out, more … [Read more...]
WWE Live Wrestlemania Revenge 2016….
Last Wednesday we went along to the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena to watch the Newcastle leg of the current WWE Live Wrestlemania Revenge tour and we had a brilliant night!I don’t know what it is about the wrestling because personally, I don’t watch it on TV and I’m not interested in watching it at any other time but watching it live is a whole other matter. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that the WWE superstars are right there in front of me or if it’s the electric atmosphere that the crowd create or even the sheer amazement on Master Frugal’s face when the wrestlers are introduced that … [Read more...]

Ten things your teenager absolutely does not need to take on holiday….
Packing for a long weekend away in sun is never easy but packing with a teenage girl takes it to a whole new level. Seriously, every time I look in the two bags we've put to one side for our packing, there's something else in there that I need to take out!Here's a few of the things we've argued about debated so far.... 1. A pillow Yes, an actual pillow has been taken out and put back in it's rightful place on her bed. 2. A blanket Taking up half the bag was a blanket which again, is now back on her bed! 3. Bath bombs Even if they made the journey in one piece and didn't crumble … [Read more...]
What does ‘being skint’ mean to you?
A couple of week's ago I read a post on one of the frugal living forums where a woman shared something that she thought was a bit of a frugal win. She used to shop at one of the big supermarkets but this particular week she had less money than usual (she used the words 'a bit skint') so she'd decided to pop to her local Aldi to do her shopping.She went on to proudly post a picture of her shopping trolley to show just how much shopping she'd managed to get in Aldi for about the same amount of money as she would usually have spent in her usual shop.Now I looked at her photo and thought … [Read more...]
