Over the last year or so Master Frugal has really developed an interest in football - something his Dad has been waiting for since the day we were told that we were expecting a boy!Until then, despite his Dad's best efforts, he had paid no attention to anything football related and wouldn't even consider a game of Fifa on the xbox 360. Then overnight, he was suddenly football mad and couldn't get enough of anything football related.Now they sit and talk about football together, they watch Sky Sports news and discuss what's going on in the football world and they play Fifa together … [Read more...]
My Winter bucket list….
Last September I wrote a bit of a bucket list filled with things I wanted to do or achieve during the Autumn months. I round it quite motivating and as I did quite well and got most things ticked off I decided to do a bit of a bucket list at the start of every season.I cheated a little bit though and split Winter up and did a separate one for Christmas as I had so much I wanted to do in December alone so today I want to share with you my (rest of) Winter bucket list:Someone did mention to me that they thought that a bucket list was just the same as a New Years resolution but I … [Read more...]
Is saving money one of your New Years Resolutions?
Every year when I write my New Years Resolution list, the same one is always right there at the top of my list - SAVE MONEY. Actually, trying to save money is always a high priority here but making it a New Years Resolution always seems to focus me on it even more than usual. As I know lots of you will be trying to focus on the same things as me I thought I'd do a quick reminder of my Money Makeover series from last year which was all about reviewing your finances and making them better....Week One – Money Makeover Introduction Week Two – Sort our your spending Week Three – Dealing … [Read more...]
Is Meal Planning one of your New Years Resolutions?
Every year in January, I see a massive surge in page views of all of my meal planning posts. It then dips a little bit in February, a bit more in March and by April they're back to normal again. This could indicate one of two things - either lots of people give up meal planning after a few months or they get so good at it that they no longer need to be searching for information on it!I'd like to think it's the latter but it's more likely that people tend to give up for whatever reason. I asked a couple of people who I know started meal planning last year and stopped within a few weeks … [Read more...]
My New Years Words….
I can't believe how quickly 2014 has flown by!It feels like only yesterday that I was sat here reflecting on how fast 2013 went by and making a list of my goals for the year and here I am again doing the same thing for 2015.I'm doing things a little bit differently this year though because as much as I like a good New Years Resolution, I can be a little bit over ambitious and set targets for myself that I am unlikely to achieve. This year I'm choosing a few key words that I want to focus on and although I'm not going to bore you with the specifics, I have lots of ideas for each area … [Read more...]
Perfect Presents for Dads….
I just realised that I wrote a gift guide for tween and teen girls (based on Miss Frugal) and one for boys aged 9 ish (based on Master Frugal) but I haven't done anything for Dads.Dads are the hardest people to buy for if you ask me - my Dad gets a bottle of port and a big slab of blue stilton every year without fail as that's all he wants and as boring as it may be, at least I know he'll enjoy it.Mr Frugal isn't as easy to buy for though - he doesn't like experience days or things like that, he's not big on clothes (unless it's a football shirt), he likes his music but usually buys … [Read more...]
