Every now and again, something happens to remind me of a post I’ve written at some point over the last 10 years or so that I’ve been blogging and I go back and dig out the post to have a quick read. Sometimes, I wish I could share the post all over again with you so I thought once a month I’d do exactly that and share an old post.Today’s post is about the traumas of Summer Holidays gone by but before I start, I should say that the reason I remembered about this post was that I was thinking about how the Summer Holidays have changed now that the kids are that bit older. At 16 … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {23 August 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. ;-)If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know that we were away on Monday and … [Read more...]
How to help your child become a Confident and Happy Traveller….
The moment I took the photo below was the moment I realised that Miss Frugal was a more confident and happy traveller than I am. We had just navigated our way across Heathrow to get from the gate where our internal flight landed to the gate where our flight to Los Angeles was departing from and she led the way the whole time.I was panicking about the short connection time we had, whether I'd need a wee while the seatbelt sign was on, if the passports were still where I'd put them in my bag, and whether the people in the posh seats would be dressed up smart (we got upgraded at the gate) but … [Read more...]
Homemade Nandos spicy rice recipe….
This homemade Nandos spicy rice recipe is my secret to recreating a Nandos style fakeaway meal at home for a fraction of the price!With an ever-improving-but-still-fussy-eater like Master Frugal to think about, eating out can sometimes be a bit of a challenge but one place he does love is Nandos. Since the first time we visited as a pre-cinema treat, Nandos has been his favourite place to eat and rather surprisingly, the Nandos spicy rice is his favourite dish on the menu.We enjoy going as a treat but don't go regularly because it can work our quite costly for the four of us … [Read more...]
Review: Eco Thrifty Living Book….
It's not often I do a book review on here but then again, it's not often that a blogger friend writes a book that could have literally been written for me.Eco Thrifty Living is written by Zoe Morrison, who writes a popular blog by the same name. It's a blog that I've read myself for years and have already learned such a lot from so when I found out that Zoe was writing a book, I couldn't wait to read it.Zoe very kindly sent me a copy of her book over to have a read through and I'm so pleased that she did as I thoroughly enjoyed it. I know I would when I read the first … [Read more...]
