In years to come, my children can learn lots about me by reading this blog. I've shared a lot on here about myself in the last couple of years - everything from childhood memories to greatest fears along with lots of other things along the way but I don't really share much about Mr Frugal on here although he does pop up from time to time ;-) So today, I'm going to share some things I want them to know about their Dad. Not the obvious things like the fact that he loves football and his computer but the random important things that if I don't tell them, no-one will....To this day he … [Read more...]
Dragons Den – The Frugal Family Edition….
Miss Frugal loves to watch Dragons Den with me and always has her own opinions on whether the dragons should or shouldn't invest in a business. She's usually pretty sure that she has an idea that the Dragons would love to invest in so I decided to see what she could come up with and while we were at it, Master Frugal and I had a go aswell. Invention OneI love this one. The black square is our kitchen window and it's connected to a box on top of the Guinea Pig hutch with a little chute that we use to pour food into the box - this will only need to be done about once every four weeks … [Read more...]

Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Jambalaya
Well it's been a while since I've sat down and done a proper meal plan, in fact, I don't think I've done one since before the kids broke up for the Summer holidays and I've been looking forward to getting back into it. As the kids aren't back to school until next week, I'm having a bit of a lazy week with my meal plan. I made easy mince and dumplings yesterday in the slow cooker and I'll add a bit of mash to the top of the leftovers of the mince from that to make an easy cottage pie for Wednesday. Thursday is chilli, cheese wraps using some of last weeks leftover chilli or if I really … [Read more...]
Weird….
Remember Buddy, my Bichon Frise puppy? Well he's nine months old now and he's my little buddy (See what I did there? Buddy is my buddy ;-)). He sleeps on the floor on my side of the bed and in the morning when my alarm goes off, he jumps on the bed for a cuddle. He follows me around while I get ready then he goes back to bed and sleeps on Mr Frugal's side until he wakes up. He snuggles up with me on a night when we're watching TV and even now, he's sat resting his head on my knee, snoring while I tweet. He's been the perfect addition to our family and I'm so pleased we finally … [Read more...]
