When I saw the Ugg Australia 'Classic Day Out' competition, I knew exactly what we would pick as a family as our favourite day out - a day at London Zoo!We love London Zoo, despite living at the opposite end of the country and I think we've been every year since we first visited about four years ago. We have a special reason to visit the zoo now as we adopted a monkey for Master Frugal last year for his Birthday so he likes to go along and make sure the keepers are doing a good job looking after his baby, Bounty. Last year when we were in the monkey section he found … [Read more...]

Happy 9th Birthday….
Dear Master Frugal,I can't believe it's been nine years since we were blessed with you - our little Ginger Ninja as you like to call yourself ;-)I want you to know that you make me proud every single day! Sometimes on a night when you're asleep (usually snoring like your Dad), I sneak into your room and just stare at you and wonder how on earth I got lucky enough to have you as a little boy. I also want you to know that I will be keeping the recording of you snoring and playing it to every single girl you bring home along with showing them the photo of you … [Read more...]

Now, as I look back over the pages of my blog and see my children growing from small cute little people into gorgeous young people who I'm proud of every day, I can see all of the things we've done together as a family - some things that we would never have had the opportunity to do if I hadn't started this blog.I can also look back at the posts where I hope that I've … [Read more...]
Fashion Friday – Style on a budget….
I know I've said this before lots of times but Miss Frugal has a very individual style when it comes to her clothes and she likes to wear clothes that are a little but different to what her friends are wearing. She doesn't own a pair of jeans and her only concession to fashion are her Converse - three pairs at the last count.I think it's great that she's found her own style and she doesn't feel the need to wear the same things as everyone else but it does mean that buying clothes can be a bit of a nightmare. She seems to have some sort of two point checklist in her head … [Read more...]
Thrifty Thursday – The Spring Cleaning Edition….
Spring is definitely in the air.Which is great, obviously.Except for the fact that the sunshine outside always seems to highlight the fact that my house is due it's annual spring clean and de-clutter. As you'd probably expect, rather than actually start the job itself, I'm going to put it off for as long as possible - firstly by sharing my top tips for Spring Cleaning with you....De-cluttering is a great way to not only make some space in the house but also to make a little bit of money at the same time and as an added bonus, it's easier to clean because there's less … [Read more...]
