I love taking photos but I'm far from being any good at it and even though I have a brilliant DSLR camera, I have no idea how to use it outside of the manual mode which is such a shame as it's capable of taking much better photos than I currently take with it!I've lost count of the number of times that I say I'm going to learn to take better photos and then done nothing about it and the fact that I feel like my photos aren't as good as they could be has taken the shine off using my camera a little bit for me - so much so that I can't even remember the last time I used it.I've been … [Read more...]
Healthy homemade slow cooker tomato sauce recipe {and 7 things to do with it}….
Today I'm going to share with you my healthy homemade slow cooker tomato sauce recipe. There are lots of reasons why I love my recipe for slow cooker tomato sauce and why I think you'll love it too - it's cheap, it's versatile, it takes two minutes to prepare and most importantly, it tastes delicious!I generally make it using things I already have in the house so the ingredients like the garlic, chilli and basil are often from my spice rack rather than being fresh but that's just because I have it in already - you can substitute anything you need to. You can also adjust the quantities … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {5th February 2016}….
1) One of the things I wanted to do this year was take care of myself a little bit better and start making time for me and I'm really trying to stick to that. I'm really pleased with my progress at Slimming World and I'm feeling quote good about myself at the moment even though I've got a LONG way to go.As part of my new 'me' regime I bought myself some new nail varnishes and a new lipgloss from our local Pounstretchers - not bad for a pound each!2) If you pay your council tax over 10 months then this month and next are no council tax months (or at least they are for us). In the … [Read more...]
How we made beautiful wall art from some very special buttons….
My Mam died 10 years ago last November but Miss Frugal still remembers her and has some very vague but happy memories of some of the things they used to do together.One of the things they used to do was play with my Mam's button box which was filled with buttons of all shapes and sizes. They used them to learn colours, to learn to count and every now and again as a treat my my would thread a big needle and very carefully help Miss Frugal to sew a little bit.When my Mam died, I brought the buttons home with us because I knew how much Miss Frugal enjoyed playing with them but she never … [Read more...]
More ways to get free and super cheap games for your Xbox….
Remember when I told you that Xbox gave you free games every single month if you have an Xbox one or an Xbox 360?Well I've found another way although this does cost you a few pounds each month - it's called EA access!We first found out about EA access when Master Frugal was desperate to get his hands on Fifa 16 before it was released and someone told us that if you had an EA access subscription then you could download a trial version and play 10 hours of game play a week before the game itself was released. We found a code so you could get the first month for £1.79 which didn't … [Read more...]
Why I never used to check my bank statement (and 5 reasons why you should)….
I'm going to be perfectly honest here and tell you that in the past I've dreaded the moment that my bank statement hits the doormat.There have been times when I've picked it up and put it on the sideboard trying to decide whether to open it or not because I knew it was going to tell me that we had no money or that one Direct Debit or other had been returned unpaid. More often than not, I ended up just hiding it in a drawer and not opening it at all because in my head, if I didn't see it written down then it wasn't as bad as I thought. Silly, I know.This was a long time ago thankfully … [Read more...]
