Welcome to this week's Wednesday's Wardrobe!Wednesday’s Wardrobe is a weekly linky that I'll be co-hosting along with two fantastic bloggers, Emma and Sarah.Usually my Wednesday's Wardrobe posts are focused on Miss Frugal - mainly because she has more clothes than any of us put together and has a genuine interest in clothes and make-up (as most girls do at her age I suppose) but this week it's all about her little brother who wanted to share his favourite shirt with us all....(Apologies for the awful picture, Miss Frugal took it to send to me at work the day he got the … [Read more...]

Save on the cost of medication with the NHS Minor Ailments Scheme….
I know that I've mentioned the NHS Minor Ailments Scheme briefly in the past but over the last week or so I've seen lots of people on social media talking about it and sharing posts relating to it. Almost every single time it's shared, someone comments to say they've never heard of it and how they want to find out more so I thought it would be worth revisiting it again today. What is the Minor Ailments Scheme Basically, the Minor Ailment Scheme is an NHS service for people who don't pay prescription charges which would include all children and people on certain benefits and with specific … [Read more...]
I have clearly failed as a parent….
I try and teach my children about how to be financially responsible and I until yesterday, I was secretly a little bit smug about how well I was doing.After all, Miss Frugal has a debit card and manages her money really well and Master Frugal does a great job of saving his weekly pocket money for something he really wants rather than wasting it.But then yesterday, Master Frugal said something that completely wiped the smug smile off my face (and also made me laugh that hard that I nearly spat my drink out, but's that's not the point). "When you leave school, how much money do you get … [Read more...]
How to make a beautiful bow out of leftover wrapping paper….

I think about what I know the person will enjoy, much like when you're working on an important project and might seek capstone help to ensure it turns out well. And because I spend time selecting what I believe is the perfect present, I also like to make sure it looks as beautiful as possible when it’s all wrapped up and ready to give.In the past, I would pop to the supermarket and buy a pack of wrapping paper to match the occasion along with a more often than not expensive matching … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {15th May 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Miss Frugal has a bit of a weakness for Lush bath bombs, which are far from frugal at £3+ per bomb. She often asks for them for Birthday's and Christmas and regularly spends her pocket money on a treat for herself. She bought herself one a couple of weeks ago and she's been saving it for just the right time which was apparently Wednesday night.I knew she was using it in her bath as I could smell it from downstairs but what I didn't know was that she had decided to cut the bath bomb in half with a knife so she could have two baths with it … [Read more...]
