The Diary of a Frugal Family

If you caught Sunday's post then you'll know that I've gone all old school this week and am blogging daily to share with you what I've been up to that day seeing as I have a week off work with LOTS of things on the t0-do list! I now realised why I stopped this kind of blogging!  😂I have pretty much nothing of interest to tell you today so I almost didn't write a post but I promised myself that I'd go back to this style of blogging for just a week so that's what I'm doing.  I promise it's only for a week though so don't worry, normal service will be resumed shortly. I … [Read more...]

Are you bored with my daily updates yet? 😂My mission today was to get the wing shot pictures that I made the other day up on the wall.   You wouldn't think it would be that big a deal would you but I wanted to hang them halfway up my stairs on the wall but I knew it was going to be a struggle to get them up as high as I wanted them on the stairs … [Read more...]

Today's day four and it's been so grey and miserable outside that I haven't even minded being stuck in the house today! 😂Despite the grey skies outside, our day started well as Master Frugal cooked us some waffles for breakfast as his first live lesson was cancelled. We have the simplest recipe ever for waffles so they're pretty basic as far as waffles go … [Read more...]

Today's day three and I'll be honest, I did so much that I had to have a cheeky Nana nap at tea time! 😂If you read last night's post then you'll know that I plan to clear out my garage this week but rather than hiring a skip, I planned to just make multiple trips to the tip which doesn't thrill me as you need to make an appointment for each time so I'm … [Read more...]

If you caught last night's post then you'll know that I've gone all old school this week and am blogging daily to share with you what I've been up to that day. It's day two of my week off work and I've had a busy one!I got up this morning and booked an appointment at the tip (it's a COVID thing - you need an appointment and ID to take rubbish to the tip now)) with the intention of clearing out my garage this morning. One carload wasn't nearly enough to even make a dent in the mess that was my garage to be fair though so I just got rid of as much rubbish as I could and have made an … [Read more...]

Right, I'm going all old-school blogger for the next week!I have a week off work for the first time in so long and I really plan to make the most of it to tick off my ever-growing to-do list.  There's so much that I've been wanting to get done but I've just not had the time or the inclination since even before the start of the first lockdown almost a year ago. I might be off work but I suspect I'm going to be even busier than usual with everything I've got planned.So for one week only, I thought I'd go all old-school on you and blog every day with an update on what I've been up … [Read more...]
