Last Thursday, I boarded a plane at Newcastle airport and set off on a bit of a journey - a journey that would not only take me to the other end of the country but one that I hoped would help me to begin the healing process after my Dad passed away last month.I'd originally planned a cheeky weekend away at the Flea Retreats Blogging Weekend which was a gift from Mr Frugal at Christmas but after my Dad died, I was very tempted to cancel the weekend entirely. In the end, after some convincing from my lovely little family, I went the other way completely and booked an extra night away at the … [Read more...]

This is the week after the week after my Dad died so I was starting to come to terms with things at this point and blogging to keep my mind of things but at the same time, I felt like I was a bit in limbo waiting for the funeral and … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {20 April 2018}….
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, I do want to 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 - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) I bought a pre-prepared leek and potato soup mix … [Read more...]
‘Things are Looking Up’ Essential Oil Roller – will help with Depression, Stress and Anxiety….
Today I'm sharing an essential oil roller which I believe will help with depression, stress and anxiety. It's certainly helped me to get through the last couple of weeks which have been pretty awful with my lovely Dad passing away.Over the last year or so, I've been enjoying learning a little bit about essential oils and the effects that they can have on your moods. I've learned that they can be energising (peppermint oil), relaxing and calming (lavender), uplifting (bergamot) as well as stress relieving (frankincense) and my homemade sleep spray using essential oils was such a … [Read more...]
16 Vintage Crochet Patterns…
OK, I'll start this post by holding my hands up and telling you that I cannot crochet to save my life! However, when another blogger offered to share some of her free vintage crochet patterns with you, I thought it was something that might interest a few of you. You might have noticed that over the last month or so, Saturdays have more often than not been round-up posts of some other great content from around the internet. There's a couple of reasons for this which I'll explain now before I get into today's vintage crochet pattern round up. ;-)Firstly, I have lots of ideas for things … [Read more...]
