You don't necessarily need to panic if your debit card is declined as there are lots of reasons why your payment might not have gone through!Last week, I was trying to pay for my shopping with my debit card and the machine came up with the dreaded 'not authorised' message. My heart sank immediately and I felt a little bit sick - a feeling not helped by the fact that the lady serving me might as well have put a tannoy out as she was that loud when she announced to the world that my payment had been declined.I quickly grabbed my other card out of my bag and the payment went through … [Read more...]

1) We've finally got around to selling our old car which we were planning to sell for spares and repair or scrap as it's got issues and is now out of it's MOT. I got a quote for £50 from one of those we buy any car businesses and they are the hassle-free version so I was super tempted just to go with them and save time and hassle. I decided to spend half an hour shopping around though and managed to find someone who offered £150 and collected within the hour which was fantastic.We only paid about £600 for the car about three years ago as it is just to get Mr Frugal to work and back (just … [Read more...]
That was…. February!
Happy 1st March!At the end of last year, I decided that it would be a nice idea to do a post once a month giving you a bit of an update on our lives. I added a reminder to my calendar for the first of every month and planned to share a round-up of all the fun we've had as a family throughout the month.January's update wasn't as much family fun as is was struggling to get through the month but I had high hopes for February's update post as we had a good five days with everyone free of the lurgy at the end of January.Let's see how we got on shall we?Last month I reported how … [Read more...]

What we ate in a week {February 2018}….
Today I'm sharing the third post in my 'What we ate in a week' series!The plan with these posts is that I start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and just update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day. It worked pretty well so far so let's see if I'm as good this time... MondayToday we had slow cooker turkey chilli which we prefer to normal beef chilli these days. It's hard to describe the difference that using turkey mince makes to the meal but it's delicious. It's not as heavy if that makes sense. TuesdayTonight's … [Read more...]
