1. I've up-cycled a cake board into a memo board this week which saved me throwing away the cake board! You can have a read about how I did it here if you fancy having a go yourself.2. We're now into our second week of feeling under the weather but I'm pleased to say that we have (almost) stuck to our meal plan which is no mean feat when you have as little energy as I've had this week! There was one night when I replaced what we had planned for dippy egg and soldiers because I just couldn't face cooking (or actually leaving the sofa for more than two minutes to be honest) but for the … [Read more...]
How to plan an amazing family holiday on a budget….
One of my favourite things to do when I have a few minutes spare it planning a holiday for my family - I'm already working on next Summer's as we all have two week's off together for only the second time since the kids started school!As you probably know, part of the reason I started writing this blog is so that we can have a record of my kids’ lives throughout their childhood that they can treasure and look back upon when they are adults. While I love to save pennies and quid on groceries, delicious recipes, technology and clothes shopping, I also want to share the lovely experience … [Read more...]
How to make a memo board from an old cake board….
Miss Frugal turned 13 recently and a very lovely person made her the most amazing Birthday cake.....It was perfect and believe me, it tasted every bit as good as it looks and every single bit of it was edible apart from the cake board that it was sat on, which brings me to the subject of this post!I really didn't want to throw the cake board in the bin as that seemed like an awful waste, especially considering the £3.68 price sticker that was stuck to the underside of the board! I'm not a cake baker myself so I knew it had no chance of ever being used again as a cake … [Read more...]
How to avoid the sneaky data drain on your iPhone….
Do you have unlimited data on your iPhone?If you don't then you really need to read this post as I've just been told about a cheeky new feature that's used more of my data in a couple of days than I usually use in a week!I only found out about it because I mentioned to someone at work that my phone seemed to be using much more data than normal since I updated it and they told me that Apple added a new feature called WiFi assist in the last update.Basically, WiFi assist means that if your WiFi strength isn't great then your phone will switch seamlessly from WiFi to using your data … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {28 September 2015}
It's been a while since I posted our weekly meal plan but now that the kids have gone back to school and life has (kind of) settled down again after the Summer Holiday chaos, I thought I'd try and share our meal plan on here every now and again.I'm not going to go through our meals day by day but I did want to tell you about a few of the bargains that we'll be eating:The gammon that we had tonight was from a small joint that I bought in Asda for £2.97. I cooked it slowly in the slow cooker while I was at work today and it was ready to eat at tea time along with some new potatoes … [Read more...]
Days Out: Why it’s good to love where you live….
You might have noticed that over the last month or so I've started to share a post every Sunday about a day out that we've enjoyed as a family together recently.I was inspired a little bit by some lovely days out that we've had as a family since we got our annual family membership to the English Heritage but also I thought it would motivate me a little bit more to make sure that we continue to get our and about now that the Summer's over.Yesterday we went back to a local forest that we discovered last weekend - it's less than 15 minutes drive from where we live but we've never visited … [Read more...]
