Last night we bought a huge box of strawberries from the supermarket for just £1.50 - and when I say a huge box, I really do mean huge!Master Frugal was in charge of cooking tea as Miss Frugal is away on a school residential in York and he decided to treat us to his speciality (mainly because it's all he can cook) of eggy bread followed by a Strawberry Pavlova for pud.So, after an unscheduled trip to the shop to replace the eggs I smashed on the kitchen floor and a gorgeous main course of eggy bread and ketchup, he got on with making the pudding for us.He piled as many … [Read more...]
Cinema Moneysaving….
Is it me or is the cost of going to the cinema increasing to ridiculous levels?We were considering a last minute trip to the pictures last week until we realised it was going to cost £25 for a family ticket! We decided against going and instead went to Cineworld on Saturday morning to watch one of their Movies for Juniors films which only cost £1.50 per person.If you don't know about Movies for Juniors, they're brilliant! Our local Cineworld usually show three or four slightly older kids movies on a Saturday morning for just £1.50 - this week for example they're showing Muppets Most … [Read more...]

Hats - not their favourite hats just cheap ones just in … [Read more...]

Lost: My motivation. Please return if found….
This isn't going to be a whingey whiney post (at least I'm not planning it to be) but I'm struggling a little bit lately to keep on top of everything and I thought it might help to get it down here and come up with some sort of plan to get myself a little more organised which, in turn, will hopefully make me feel happier with myself.These little beauties are the first part of my plan:It's a box set of four little notebooks that I bought from Tesco a few weeks ago because they were just too pretty to leave on the shelf and until today, they've just been sitting on my kitchen shelf … [Read more...]
