I'm feeling like a bit of a domestic goddess this morning as I have some homemade breadsticks baking in the oven ready to serve at lunchtime with homemade leek and potato soup. I also have a super tidy house and a wash in the washing machine!I could lie and tell you that it's my amazing organisational and culinary skills but it's so not! The tidy house is because Miss Frugal did one her big house cleans for me last night as I was working late, the wash was sorted and put in the machine on Wednesday but then I forgot all about it so I'm just getting around to actually switching the … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {15th April 2016}….
1) On Tuesday we decided to have lazy tea instead of what we had planned so we used some naan breads from the freezer that I'd bought for 9p, a pathetic looking green pepper, the last of the leftover ham from our Sunday dinner and some pepperoni that Mr Frugal bought on his way home from work to make some cheap but very delicious pizzas.Even the cheese was frugal as I'd bought a bag of pizza cheese a while ago and portioned it up to pizza sizes for the freezer. Miss Frugal isn't a cheese fan usually but she does like pizza cheese and she loves the odd homemade pizza so I try to always … [Read more...]
My Spring resolution update….
April seems to be flying by and I'm already two weeks into my Springtime resolution which was to lead a healthier lifestyle.On the whole I think I've done quite well so far this month with a total weight loss of 3lbs - less than my target of 2lb a week but I'm not going to beat myself up over it as I really am trying.Food wise, I've found that being organised is definitely the key to my success and that I need to plan my meals quite strictly for the week ahead so I have something in he house for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day! If I don't then I'm liable to (a) eat whatever is … [Read more...]
Learn the secret of the magical healing ability of a wet paper towel….
Last night I left the kids at home on their own for half an hour while I went to meet Mr Frugal from work and popped to the shop to see what bargains I could find in the reduced section.It's not unusual for me to leave them at home these days when I'm just popping out and at 11 and 13, they're more than capable of taking care of themselves for short periods. We have lots of rules that they have to follow but I'm not going to go into them today as that's a whole other post - all you need to know for today is that our big rule is that we stay in touch when they're on their own.Anyway, … [Read more...]
Cashback websites – Q and A….
It's been a while since we've talked about cashback websites so I thought we could have a quick refresher today because when you make a purchase using a cashback website, it really is money for nothing!I know that some of you will already use cashback websites regularly already and will probably be smiling to yourself quite smugly right about now because you'll know just how much money you can earn from these sites just for doing what you would normally do anyway! You lot can move on for today. ;-) The rest of you, don't be going anywhere because this is something you're going to want to … [Read more...]
My perfect morning just got better…..
Do you want to know what my perfect morning would be?It would be going downstairs on a morning when everyone else is still in bed, picking up a good book and having the chance to read it in peace while drinking my cup of tea and eating a bacon sandwich.That sounds like absolute bliss to me and luckily for me with my lazy lot, it happens more often than it used to these days as 'me time' seems to get easier as they get older.And to make my perfect morning even more perfect, I've just discovered Danepak's Rapid Rashers which are cooked in the microwave in just 90 seconds so I can now … [Read more...]
