Wondering where to sell your unwanted furniture? Here's some ideas for you... When I first bought a house, all of my furniture was either a donation from a relative of something bought second hand because it did the job for the right price rather than because it was something I particularly liked. Then I discovered Ikea and other places where I could buy cheap furniture so I started switching out my old hand-me-down pieces for that kind of style on a budget but I discovered shabby chic partway through that phase and started buying old pieces to upcycle. And now, well now I'm all about classic … [Read more...]
Kitchen Cabinet Painting – Before and After….
Today's post is all about my kitchen cabinet painting adventures over the weekend!Our house wasn't even built when we bought it so we were lucky enough to be able to choose the layout of our kitchen and also choose from a (limited) range of doors, handles and worktops. I say limited because our budget meant that we didn't really want to be paying extra for the premium range so we stuck to the basic range which meant that we wouldn't need to pay any extra. There was still enough in the basic range for me to choose something I loved though and after much deliberation (and … [Read more...]
Nutella Thumbprint Cookies….
Remember last month when I said that Master Frugal had a cheeky idea to transform our Jammy thumbprint cookies into Nutella Thumbprint cookies? Well, he only went and did it...These Nutella thumbprint cookies turned out amazing although I'll be honest, they're not how I would have made them. I would have replaced some of the flour with cocoa like I would if I was making a chocolate sponge cake but we didn't have any cocoa powder in so rather than wait, he decided to melt a bag of bourneville (dark) chocolate button and pop that in the mix. It turned out so well though so I forgave … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {26th March 2021}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) It's Master Frugal's 16th Birthday next week and one of the things he's asked for is Fifa Points for his Xbox which I absolutely HATE paying for. It feels like the game itself is expensive enough and then you're encouraged to spend even more money on the in-game purchases which just feels wrong to me.Master Frugal doesn't have a problem with it … [Read more...]

There'll be no excuse for being disorganised and forgetting to do things once you've read all the ways to remind yourself to do something that I'm sharing today! There are times when I feel like I have so much to remember that my head could quite possibly explode! Everything from things I need to buy when I go shopping to cancelling free trials and from appointments to lightbulb moment ideas that come to me in the night. And don't even get me started on the million and one other random things I need to remember to do on a daily basis. In order to keep my head from exploding, I have lots of … [Read more...]
Are Charity Shops too expensive?
What do you think - are charity shops too expensive these days?So, any regular readers here will know that I'm a huge fan of charity shops and love to grab a bargain but even I've noticed that a bargain these days is more expensive than a charity shop bargain used to be. 😟Obviously, the high street shops have been closed for a while now but lots of the big charities (and some of the smaller ones) have online charity shops which I shared a little while ago and at the time, someone sent me a message to say she used to love charity shop shopping but that she felt they were … [Read more...]
