Travelling with teenagers is NOT easy!When we went to Milan in May, we had a lovely time but I can’t help but look back and remember some of the family arguments we had! For our recent trip to Monaco and Nice, I was determined to do things differently to make sure we had a more harmonious break!Milan was great and we did have an amazing time but there's not getting away from the fact that phrases like ‘She’s using my Wifi’, ‘He just looked at me’ and ‘Just do as you’re told’ don’t bring back the greatest memories as you can imagine.I shared my tips on how to travel with teens … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {27th October 2017}….
1) I've printed out a batch of my 'No Halloweeners here' sign for some friends who have young children that they don't want disturbing after a certain time. You can print one off for yourself if you'd like to here.I've seen that you can buy them in shops for a couple of pounds but it costs me pennies to print one off for them and it saves the stress of hoping that each knock isn't going to wake the kids up.2) I've made a batch of my homemade Halloween chocolate bark this week using a cheap pack of Halloween sweets that I got from the pound shop. I use value chocolate when I make … [Read more...]
Using milk paints to upcycle furniture….
Today I'm going to share how you can upcycle a table using milk paints, something I learned at a class I went along to recently as part of my mission to create every day and spend a little more time on me!I love the idea of using milk paints, which is something I hadn't even heard of until I went to the Festival of Thrift last month but now that I've tried it, I'll definitely be using it again! Basically, milk paint is a non-toxic paint which contains no additives or distillates that can cause any harm to people, pets or the environment. It's made from iron oxide pigment, milk casein … [Read more...]
How to have an AMAZING last minute Halloween party without breaking the bank….
When Poundworld asked me to review their Halloween range for them on the same day that Miss Frugal asked if she could have all of her friends around after a trip out they were planning to go to a super scary Halloween event near where we live, the temptation to have a last minute Halloween party was too much for me!I'm not one for being organised though so considering the party is tonight, I only started preparing for it this morning as I've had a super busy week so haven't had the chance to get into town to go to Poundland. All is good though because they have a huge range of … [Read more...]
The Iceland Bonus Card – a great way to save for your Christmas Shop….
I've worked with Iceland before so you'll already know that I'm a great fan of the #PowerofFrozen but today I'm working with them to share some great deals with you and tell you about the amazing Iceland Bonus CardAs a working mum, I embrace anything that saves me a little bit of time when it comes to cooking good, healthy homecooked food which is why I love Iceland. Things like frozen chopped onions (how did I live before they were invented) and other frozen vegetables are game changers for me. This morning, before I went to work, I added some cubed beef to the slow cooker with some stock … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {20th October 2017}….
1) I bought a couple of Christmas gifts that I found reduced massively from about £8 to £1. I can't tell you what they are because blogs have ears but they're going to make a great addition to a little beauty hamper I'm making for Miss Frugal for Christmas Eve.2) I've been exercising lately, like real exercise that makes your face go red and your heart beat faster and I know, I'm just as shocked as you are. After we cleared out the garage and bought a few bits of exercise equipment for the kids I thought I'd give it a go myself and I'm pleased to report that I'm managing to do between 3 … [Read more...]
