This started off as a post that was going to be about what we'd been up to this week but turned into a bit of a review about where we stayed so I thought I should make it clear that is not a paid for review or anything like that. We paid for the accommodation ourselves - £139 for all of us for a full week)We're back from our week away and I'm so tired that I feel like I need another week to get over it!We've had a brilliant week although I'm not sure that I'm in two minds as to whether I'd recommend Pontins or not. It was great fun and a brilliant price for a last minute week away if … [Read more...]

Our Weekend at Thorpe Park….
I'm not sure who was more excited when we were invited to Thorpe Park last weekend - Miss Frugal who heard a rumour that District 3 would be performing, her brother who is suddenly brave enough to go on rides other than the 'baby rides', as he now calls them or their Dad who was dying to go on the biggest rides.We travelled down very early Saturday morning by train (there's a regular shuttle bus to the park from the train station) so we were in the park by lunchtime....One thing we've found difficult in the past when we've been to theme parks is making sure that everyone gets to go on … [Read more...]
Cheap Family and Friends Railcard….
We love travelling on the train when we go for days out. I find it a much more relaxing way to travel and we all enjoy the journey much more - especially me as I often put my headphones in and relax, leaving Mr Frugal in charge of the in-train entertainment.It does work out good value for money most of the time as you don't have to pay for petrol or parking but it's even better value if you have a Railcard.

Look what we’ve been up to so far this week….
We've had a busy week this week! We had our bonfire night on Sunday night and had some lovely friends round for hot dogs, cakes and hot chocolates with marshmallows and squirty cream....The next morning we set off to London to join Marmite as their guests in the Golden Circle (check us out) on Oxford Street for the big Christmas light switch on. They asked us a few weeks ago so we decided to go and celebrate our anniversary a week early by leaving the kids at home and having a grown up night away in London. We got a good deal on our train fares and our hotel room was a complete bargain … [Read more...]
