Last weekend was our annual family trip to the Festival of Thrift which is an amazing festival held in the North East every September all about living sustainably with style which is right up my street.We go to the Festival of Thrift every year and I've always had an amazing day so I was really looking forward to visiting again although this year I didn't book into any of the classes or workshops as I wasn't sure if I'd be up to joining in with them when they were released over the Summer. I totally wished I had booked a couple though as the jam making and upcycling ones looked like so … [Read more...]
Homemade emoji biscuits….
A couple of weeks ago we were at the Trafford centre and we walked past a stand selling emoji biscuits. Maybe it was because they were the last two left but they didn't look too emoji like and both kids couldn't stop laughing at the pathetic-ness of them (totally a word).A photo posted by UK Thrifty Family Blogger (@frugalfamily) on Sep 14, 2016 at 12:14am PDTMiss Frugal decided that she could do a better job so this weekend, we decided to have a go at making our own emoji biscuits and I'm quite pleased with the results!For the biscuits, I used our trusty three … [Read more...]

10 reasons you know you’re a blogger….
I was sitting at the table with the kids tonight about to start our Saturday night games night when the moon caught my eye. It looked beautiful and all I wanted to do was get outside and take photos of it but we were just about to play Rapidough and the kids had been looking forward to taking on me and Mr Frugal all day.

Every now and again, I kicked the ball … [Read more...]

Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {16th September 2016}….
1) I'm so excited about this one - after living in our house for six years we are finally getting the bathroom flooring replaced! It's needed doing for such a long time but I thought it would be much more expensive than it actually can be done for so we kept putting it off. You might have read my September goals post where I decided that one of my goals was to at least look into all of the things I wanted doing and this was the first thing. We popped along to a local store with the measurements of our three bathrooms (sounds way posher than it is - one's a teeny space downstairs and ones an … [Read more...]
