What does ‘Frugal’ mean to you…..
Being Frugal means different things to different people.Some people are frugal as a way of life, lots of people are frugal out of necessity and some are frugal to enable them to free up money for other things.We come under the third category, we save money where we can so that we have more spare money to spend on the children and to do fun things with them. I want them to have a happy childhood and whilst I'm fully aware that money certainly doesn't bring happiness, the money that we manage to save means that we can take them on holiday, go camping, buy them treats, have family days … [Read more...]
If I had a lot of money….
You know when your children are quiet for more than 15 minutes and you start to worry about what they're up to?Well yesterday, Miss Frugal got herself some paper and a pen and sat at the dining room table for almost an hour in silence. She was making a list (I know, I'm so proud) of things that she would buy if she had a lot of money and when she was done, she made her list into this:I love the things she would buy although I do feel guilty about the felt tips that work one - I could possibly stretch our budget to that one without having to wait until we win the lottery ;-) I'm not … [Read more...]

A Born Worrier….
I'm a worrier.I can't help it, I've worried since I was a little girl and I've had to really really try hard not to show the children how much I worry sometimes. When I was little, I used to worry about the kitchen cupboards falling off the walls in the kitchen if my Dad bought too many tins!I think poor Master Frugal has inherited my worry gene as he often worries about little things and has a bit of a tendency to blow things out of proprotion in his head until he gets himself all wound up.To help him deal with his worries, I bought him a set of Guatamalan Worry Dolls for … [Read more...]
