Do you talk about money with your family?Today, I want you to think about the conversations you do have with your partner and with your children and the impact that talking about money (or not talking about it) can have on your family finances.To me, there are two different types of conversations you should be having about money. The first is with your partner and they need to be more in-depth than the conversations you probably already have. Mr Frugal and I have never really discussed money in that much detail - we have a joint account and I oversee most aspects of our … [Read more...]
What my teenagers ate last week when I wasn’t there to cook for them….
Last week was a bit of an odd week as I was working a late shift at work during the week so I wasn't at home to cook. I also didn't write a proper meal plan (I know, I'm hanging my head in shame) because I was away in London at the weekend and felt very bleugh when I got home. Mr Frugal waited until I got home for his tea and was on lates himself 3 out of the 5 nights so the kids had to mainly fend for themselves which I would absolutely expect them to be able to do at their age (17 and 14). Let's see how they got on... Monday Homemade Chicken Parmo with chips, salad … [Read more...]

The best thing about it for me is that it cost just 99p from the sale rack … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {20 September 2019}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)This week’s post is a bit different as I’m going to tell you five FREE things that I … [Read more...]
Review: The One World Observatory….
The One World Observatory is the highest point in New York and despite having two teenagers (and me) who really aren't all that keen on heights, we decided to visit last time we went to New York.The One World Observatory is right at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere - the One World Trade Center. One WTC is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex and even though I'm not exactly a building connoisseur, I think it's a beautiful building and I love the way it stands out in the New York skyline.It can be seen from all over Manhattan … [Read more...]
