OK, so I'm going to get it out of the way right at the start and tell you that this isn't a review that I've been asked to write. ;-) I wanted to write this post because I used to constantly worry about my two getting sunburnt and this is the only product that I've found that actually works!Before we had children, we used to go on at least two holidays a year and when they came along, we tried our best not to give up our holidays and would save money each month to pay for our annual family trip which we looked forward to all year.But it all changed when the kids were old enough to … [Read more...]
How I encourage my teen to read over the Summer….
My children have never shown the same love of reading that I remember having at their age and in some ways that makes me a little bit sad. To me, reading is an escape and I love nothing more than curling up in bed on a night and reading a good romance novel (Don't judge me ;-)).Personally, I feel like any chance that they were going to love reading was ruined by over enthusiastic teachers who set them challenges to read a set number of pages every night and a certain number of books a week.

She pointed out that as the box was on special offer that I would get more for my money if I bought the box which was more sweets for the same amount of money.2) I bought a new pack of microfibre cloths from Tesco this week - 4 for a £1 which I think is a … [Read more...]
Homemade lavender and oats bath soak….
You only have to look around the supermarket shelves these days to see a huge selection of bath soaks, bath scrubs, bath oils and all manner of body washes and bubbles and if you wanted to, you could spend a fortune on pampering yourself in the bath.But you don't need to spend a fortune on expensive products to have a lovely relaxing soak in the bath! In fact, I often make my own lavender and oats bath soak and I have done since I went to a blogging event about four years ago where we were shown how to make it.I don't grow lavender in my garden as Master Frugal hates bees and it … [Read more...]

How we make no spend days work for us….
Have you ever had a day where you haven't had to spend a single penny?Imagine how much money you could potentially save if you could go a few days each week without spending any money. It sounds much harder than it is you know and let's face it, if I can do it then anyone can!With the expensive Summer holidays coming up I've decided that we really need to focus on money and one of the ways that I'm doing that is by setting myself a target of 15 no spend days in the month of July.A no spend day is exactly as it sounds - a day where you don't spend any money at all although I don't … [Read more...]
