I know lots of you have had parent's nights in the last week or so and I hope you're all feeling as proud as I do after ours last night.You might (but probably won't) remember that when Master Frugal was in Reception at school he was behind the rest of his classmates with both his reading and his writing. It just didn't seem to click with him like it did with his friends and as a result, his confidence suffered and it started to affect all aspects of his school work.This continued until about halfway through Year 1 and no matter what I did, I couldn't help him. I tried everything, … [Read more...]
Do you always have some month left over at the end of the money….
I love that saying - do you always have some month left over at the end of the money? I first saw it on a fridge magnet at a service station we stopped at once and from then on it's been my favourite saying.It doesn't matter how much money your monthly budget says you should have left over at the end of every month if the actual amount left in your bank account doesn't come anywhere close. When we first started working out what our monthly budget was, we were pleasantly surprised to see that we had a healthy amount of money left over each month after our bill payments had been come out and … [Read more...]
Get Organised – the free printable budget planner edition….
At the start of last month I shared with you all, how I work out our monthly budget and I was pleased to get lots of emails from you saying how helpful you'd found it and how much it had helped.One thing that did come across in the emails was that some people would prefer to have a form that they can print out and use to fill in their income and monthly costs to make it a bit easier. You could do a search online for 'free downloadable budget planner' but there are so many options available, many of which are affiliated with various debt management companies or other associations. Also … [Read more...]
Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Slow cooked brisket….
After the chaos of last week, we have a nice boring week ahead of us thank goodness.We're all feeling a bit bleugh at the minute to be honest. Mr Frugal is awaiting an MRI scan for his vertigo as the specialist says his symptoms are much worse than they would expect and he's also due to go for an x-ray and an ultrasound as the Dr thinks he also has kidney stones. As well as that, I have a bad back from where I slipped down the stairs yesterday and poor Miss Frugal has been suffering a little lately with her abdominal migraines.We should just paint a red cross over the door and … [Read more...]

Do you want to win one of the top toys this Christmas….
Have your children written their Christmas wish lists yet?If they have, there's a good chance that they'll have asked for a Furby seeing as that's looking to be one of the top toys for Christmas 2012.The all new and improved Furby is much more advanced that the Furbys that I remember from when I was younger. They speak both Furbish and English and there's a free app available that lets you feed your Furby virtually as well as translating Furbish into English (this is an amazing feature according to Master Frugal). The new generation Furby's are much cuter looking than their … [Read more...]
