Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I bought some back to school stationery today in Tesco as it was half price. I even managed to stock up on the pens that you can rub out (an essential piece of kit according to Miss Frugal) as well as some packs of school pencils reduced from £3.60 a pack to just £1.50. I've cleared a drawer in the unit to store them until just before they go back otherwise there's be no trace of them come the start of September!2. We're going away this weekend and the thought of the usual arguments over how we get there almost drove me to buy a sat nav … [Read more...]
Super smooth lips – the frugal way….
We've all heard about the benefits of body and face exfoliation, haven't we?But what do you know about lip scrubs and lip exfoliation? Do you know for example that a lip scrub will remove the dead skin from the surface of your lips leaving them soft.And as if that wasn't enough, having super smooth lips with a smooth surface will make your lipsticks, lip liner, and lip gloss last longer than before as it adheres much better to smooth lips.Aaaaand, if you're still not sold then I'm sure that you will be after I tell you that lip exfoliation makes your lips moister (is that a word?) … [Read more...]
Don’t forget to make time for YOU these Summer Holidays….
We're five days in to the Summer Holidays here and I'm exhausted!I asked the kids to write a quick list of things they wanted to do over the Summer Holidays and I've tried to cram a lot of them in this week as I'm off work with them all week. Not that it matters if we don't get them all done as I'm off again in three weeks for a fortnight and I'm home by 3 o'clock on most days when I'm working but still, I wanted them to have as much fun as possible with me while I'm off work this week.What that does mean is that we've had lots of fun together but I haven't had much time for me and if … [Read more...]
My Week {19th July 2015}….
I've consciously tried to slow life down for us all this week after the slightly frantic pace of the last few weeks because it's become more and more obvious just how tired the kids are right now - one night they both came in from school and one went for a lie down while the other fell asleep on the settee!It's only to be expected I guess as we've been doing so much with all of the end of term things going on and thinking about it, it seems worse than the last few years as they're in different schools now so we have two lots of everything to go to.I almost booked a cheeky week away to … [Read more...]
How to Survive Year 7! By someone who just did….
Earlier this week I challenged Miss Frugal to come up with a list of things that she thought would help someone who would be starting Year 7 in September and this is what she's come up with.Before you read them though, I'd just like to point out that this is based on her experience and I haven't changed any of them. The may be a few sneaky tips in there that break a few teeny tiny rules though. Obviously I don't condone the breaking of any school rules but I don't think the world will end if she checks her phone every now and again.She's clearly good at breaking the rules she does … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {17th July 2015}….
I haven't really had time to be frugal or otherwise this week as it's been another chaotic week for one reason or another but I'll try and see if I can think of five things.... Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I've spent half an hour this morning driving round town - stopping at the leisure centre, the museum and the youth centre to get their Summer Holiday leaflets. Tonight I'm going to sit and make a plan of action for the next week as I have a lovely week off to spend with the kids.2. Speaking of activities, one thing on our list was ice skating and this notification … [Read more...]
