Do you ever wish there was a way to make more time in the day so you can get everything you need to do done?Me too, although to be fair, when I sit and think about what I do in a day, there's loads of things I can cut out or do a bit differently to actually make more time. Here's just a few of them.... Social Media This has got to be my biggest waste of time because I know that I spend longer on Facebook and Instagram than I really should - especially when I know that I have a million other things that I could be doing. I'm never going to be able to stay away from them completely but I … [Read more...]

Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {29th January 2016}….
1) Last weekend I took Miss Frugal clothes shopping for our holidays and got some great deals on Summer clothes in New Look. She was over the moon when she came out with two pairs of shorts, a pair of flip flops for the beach, two pairs of sunglasses and a pretty top for £11! The shorts had been reduced from £14 to £2 a pair and the sunglasses were reduced from about £7 to 5op which made them huge bargains and just shows that buying clothes out of season can save you a fortune.2) Miss Frugal was given a lovely bag this week from a friend of a friend who no longer wanted it but … [Read more...]
Learning to let go….
As a parent, I like to think I have quite a relaxed style of parenting but no matter how laid back I am, I wasn't prepared for the question Master Frugal asked me last weekend: Please can I go to the park with my friends today Mam? My immediate thought was absolutely not - he's only 10 and the park is about three quarters of a mile away. I quickly thought out all of the worst case scenarios in my head which ranged anywhere from him being kidnapped to falling in the lake and from falling of a swing to being bitten by a rabid dog.(Not that I'm a worrier you understand ;-))I opened my … [Read more...]

This week’s meal plan {25th January 2016}….
My meal plans are a bit all over the place at the moment as I'm still getting used to Slimming World and learning to adapt meals that I know we all love so that I can continue to enjoy them whilst following the plan. I haven't mastered it just yet so you'll see that on a few nights this week I'm planning to cook two separate meals which I try not to do usually but there are meals I want to try that I know not everyone in the house will enjoy.I'm popping to the shop probably four nights a week at the minute but just to check the reduced section for reduced fruit and veg and I also have … [Read more...]
