This week's #SaveMoneyMonday is all about free games for your Xbox so it's bound to go down well with the little people if they have an Xbox.The free games are available to all Xbox Live gold members which the majority of people who have an Xbox already seem to be - I know my children are, as are all of their friends so I'm guessing that most people who have an Xbox will be Gold members already and be able to take advantage of this deal without any further action.If you're not a Gold member already, it is a service you pay for but it's well worth it as you get lots more content as well … [Read more...]
Siblings – September….
How can another month have gone by so quickly?It's just ridiculous and it seems to be going even faster now that they're settling back in at school.We've had a much more relaxing and laid back Summer than usual and after the first couple of weeks of cramming in as much as we could, we spent the next few weeks doing very little which was lovely. It's not so great for this month's sibling post though I'm afraid as I've got no exciting or particularly interesting photos of them together although I do have some ice cream photos to make up for it! ;-)So we … [Read more...]
How to make your candles last as long as possible….
I'm afraid I've turned into a bit of a candle addict lately!I love the glow of a candle on a night and I love the scented candles that make my house smell so nice - the only problem is that the nicer a candle smells, the more I want to burn it which means that it burns down quicker and needs replacing sooner.Not great if you're trying to save money as candles aren't exactly a necessity are they?But there are ways to make a candle last a little bit longer so at least I feel like I'm doing my bit to be thrifty. ;-)Here's a few of the ways I know of....Keep the wick trimmed … [Read more...]
It’s time to get in the picture….
<div align="center"><a href="https://www.frugalfamily.co.uk" title="The Diary of a Frugal Family"><img src="https://www.frugalfamily.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/In-the-picture-link-badge.png" alt="The Diary of a Frugal Family" style="border:none;" /></a></div> I've had a couple of conversations with people this week, both online and in real life, about how a lot of adults (me included) hate having their photos taken. As you'd probably expect, most people I've spoken to have said that it's because they don't like the way they look in a photograph and that a … [Read more...]
My Autumn Bucket list….
I read a lovely post yesterday written by Michelle over at Mummy From the Heart and it got me thinking a little bit.One of the reasons I like the end of the school holidays is because it allows me to get some routine back into our lives and to take the time to do some of the things that I've been planning to do for ages but haven't got around to over the last few months as we've been too busy enjoying the Summer.Michelle's written herself an Autumn Bucket list to help her focus on what she wants to achieve in the next few months and I thought hers was so lovely that I wanted to do the … [Read more...]
Wavy hair in minutes….
When I was younger, all I wanted was to have curly hair and with the magic of my Mam's friend who did home perms, I got the curly hair I was so desperate for. Looking back, it doesn't look as cool as I thought it did at the time:Now fast forward 25 years and Miss Frugal is also a big fan of curly hair although not so much a home perm fan after seeing the photo of my disaster! Not that I'd let her have one anyway - there are much simpler ways to get curly hair these days!She often sleeps with plaits in her hair when she's washed it on a night which gives her wavy hair when she … [Read more...]
