I'm sure you'll all be busy having lots of family fun today but I wanted to quickly let you know that I've just set up a Facebook group for those of us who want to live well but spend less.I love blogging and that's not going to stop at all (in fact, I have lots of plans for this next few months) but sometimes I come across a great deal online or I have a great quick tip or idea to share and a blog isn't always the best place to get that message out there. With the Facebook group, I can quickly post from my phone wherever I am so I'm really excited about this new way to share things with … [Read more...]

Why our trip to New York didn’t go according to plan….
Very early last Thursday morning, Miss Frugal and I set off on our long awaited adventure to New York. We'd spent months researching what we wanted to do and saving up to be able to afford to do it all and we'd pretty much scheduled the majority of our time while we were there to make sure we didn't miss a thing.We were so well organised that we knew exactly what we were going to be doing each day, how to get there, how much it would cost, what was nearby and even where we would be eating! It was all detailed in our trusty New York notebook that we'd been scribbling in since we booked our … [Read more...]

DIY Folded Paper Envelope Tutorial….
I'm actually not here right now, I'm having my annual mother and daughter long weekend away with Miss Frugal and hopefully, I'm having a great time. We've done something similar for the last couple of years and the men (well one man, one boy) of the house are more than happy to stay home without us and talk football and gaming without us rolling our eyes and changing the subject to something we actually understand. ;-)I will miss them though and as I always do, I'll Facetime every day and stay in touch as often as possible by text message but this year I've done something extra as well as … [Read more...]
