I've mentioned a few times lately how much I love living where I live but today I wanted the kids to share with you why they love our home and I thought the best way to show you would be for the kids to make a video each of their favourite place in the house.The videos didn't exactly turn out according to plan and I was tempted to get both of them to re-record them but I decided against that because I told them to tell me why they loved where we lived and they did exactly that. Kind of.So, a couple of things I'd like to point out to you before you watch them - (a) I let the kids choose … [Read more...]
Savoury Muffins – Chilli, cheese and ham muffins….
Sometimes savoury muffins can be just as tasty as sweeter versions so, after last week's super easy muffin recipe, I thought I'd share my famous (in my own mind) chilli, cheese and ham muffins which are not only delicious but also great to freeze for packed lunches and very versatile. They are lovely on their own, with butter, dipped in soup and even cut open with a slice of ham in it as a little sandwich. Chilli, Cheese and Ham Savoury Muffins 250g plain flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon paprika A pinch of salt 50g butter 1 egg 250ml milk 150g cheese (the cheese with chilli … [Read more...]

My favourite guilty pleasure….
I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned hundreds a few times that I love moving house and since I bought my first house, I've moved house four times and spent countless hours searching for our next dream home browsing online estate agents sites.As much as I love where we live now, I do love looking at other people's houses. I like to see how they're decorated and get ideas for what I'd like to do in my own house but even sadder than that, I like to pretend that I've won the lottery and find a house that I would like to live in if money was no object.I sometimes forget that these sites are … [Read more...]
A Budget Bedroom Makeover for a 9 year old boy….
I briefly mentioned last week that Master Frugal has been unwell recently last week so I won’t go into it too much today other than to say that we've had his blood test results back and although they can't say what's wrong yet, they can say it's not one of the 'big' things that we were worrying about. We have to go back again for more tests in a couple of weeks but we're just happy at the moment that whatever it is isn't as bad as we thought it could be!In the meantime, we thought we'd try and help with his problem of getting to sleep at night by giving him a bit of a bedroom … [Read more...]

They're just things that make complete sense to you and you do them without even thinking about it aren't they?But sometimes, until someone points something out to you, it doesn't even occur to you so I thought I'd do a post each week to share some of the frugal things I've done that week with you all.
