I've never tried a real S'more but I know that I like the idea of them and after attempting to make our own oven baked S'mores last year we've been trying to perfect our own version.We've been making them in ice cream cornets recently, the ones with the flat bottom. I usually just fill a cornet with marshmallows and chocolate chips (or buttons), wrap them in foil and pop them in the oven on a low heat for 10 minutes. They're delicious with all the gooey marshallow and melted chocolate mixing together for a perfect treat for the kids.But the other day I'd ran out of foil and Miss … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {3rd July 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I'm still trying to get my garden in better shape ready for the Summer so I was over the moon when I found some plants reduced from £5 to 50p in Tesco last night. They're currently sat on my little patio ready for me to plant in some pretty pots.2. I bought a big pack of Daz at Tesco this week reduced from £8 to £4 which will do at least 40 washes so it's a great deal at less than 10p a wash. I'm never loyal to products like this as they all do just as good a job as each other in my eyes so I just look out for the best deal. I'd normally … [Read more...]

Pipe cleaner crowns….
OK, so we know that I'm not the craftiest blogger around but we did make some pretty pipe cleaner crowns this weekend that I thought you might like to see....We used glitter pipe cleaners from Tesco because we wanted some sparkle as our crowns were for the Race for Life last Sunday (although we ended up leaving them in the car). They were £1.25 a pack and lots of the crafty stuff is on 3 for 4 or something like that so I bought a couple of packs and some coloured paper as well.You can't go far wrong if you start by making the band that goes around your head and then, once you've … [Read more...]
Here’s my secret to organising family life….
I don't know about you but life can be chaotic around here sometimes!Take this coming week for example, I have to remember some important work meetings, what shifts Mr Frugal is working, the early finish and the non uniform day for Miss Frugal, a family fun day that needs cakes, raffle prizes and money for Master Frugal, numerous after school clubs, a lunch date with a friend and a dentists appointment for the kids. Oh, and an appointment for the dog with the groomers.Granted, next week is slightly busier than normal but even a normal week required more juggling than a clown to make … [Read more...]
My Week {28th June 2015}….
I do love blogging, I really do. But sometimes I get caught up in it all and forget the one reason why I started blogging. You see, I didn't start blogging for all you lovely readers (although you're an amazing added bonus) and I didn't start blogging to make money or to be the best.I started blogging to keep a diary of sorts about the things we get up to as a family because it's more important to me than I can explain in a sentence that we have a record of our happy memories. But lately, we've made memories that I haven't shared on here because I didn't think the things we've done would … [Read more...]
