1) Our Alternative Advent calendar is done and ready to be opened tonight when the kids get home from school tonight. Don't tell them but today's envelope says that we'll be snuggling on the sofa watching Elf together as a family tonight which is one of our family traditions!2) Look what I got for 20p in Asda last week....It's actually two small bunches of 10p flowers that were reduced as they were looking a little sad - they soon perked up though when I got them home and in some water. They look lovely in my DIY painted vase!3) Our new little puppy, Monty, arrived this … [Read more...]
What we ate in a week {November 2017}….
I thought I might start a new monthly series on the blog called 'What we ate in a week' which is, as the title would suggest a post about the food we ate in a week! ;-)My plan is to start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and simply update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day so let's give it a go.... MondayWe made some really quick and easy fajitas for tea tonight with some sliced yellow and green peppers and red onion gently fried in a little olive oil with two chicken breasts that I remembered to get out of the freezer last … [Read more...]
DIY Paint Chip Calendar….
This brilliant little DIY Paint Chip calendar is just what you need to be more organised (and stylish at the same time).When I went to the Festival of Thrift in September, I bought an amazing little book of those little paint sample cards - which I now know are called paint chips. I had no idea what I was going to do with it and I walked away from it twice but I ended up going back and paying £3 for it because I just loved all the amazing colours and knew there would be so much that I could make with the colourful samples.See, how could I possibly not buy that!The first … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {24 November 2017}….
1) I have totally won at meal planning this week - honestly, it's been a meal planning triumph. ;-)So much so that I'm halfway through writing a post to be shared with you on Monday with a photo of every meal we've eaten this week - assuming I manage to keep this up over the weekend that is.2) It's Mr Frugal's Birthday today and instead of buying a cake for him, I had poor Master Frugal in the kitchen last night slaving away making his amazing chocolate traybake which worked out cheaper and tasted so much nicer than anything we could have bought in the shops.3)I know I've said … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {17 November 2017}….
1) Miss Frugal's phone bill with Giff Gaff is getting cheaper every month! When we were with EE she was running out of data (on a 4GB a month plan) within the first two weeks of the month. We switched to Giff Gaff and went with the £20 a month unlimited package with is 6GB or superfast data and unlimited 3G data after that's gone and thought that would do us. We told her to always connect to wifi when she could and to be sensible with her usage when she wasn't on wifi (no videos etc) and would you believe it? She actually listened!After two months we dropped the package down to the 4GB … [Read more...]
