It feels funny to be right in this post right now but I'm planning Summer Holiday fun again!I wrote a post back in 2011 about how I planned our summer holidays - Miss Frugal will have been nine and Master Frugal will have been six at that point. I shared all my top tips on how I made sure that we managed to fit as much fun over the holidays as we possibly could without spending a fortune and over the years that followed this post, I did pretty much the same thing every Summer for the years they were in school, every year making sure we had the best time our budget allowed us to … [Read more...]
Proud Mum Moment….
I know I don't post as often as I used to post on here but there was a time when I posted pretty much every day. I shared so much about my family life and I know from what I stopped blogging so often that lots of you really missed the updates around what we were doing and how we were getting on so today, if any of you regular readers are still here I have a treat for you.Miss Frugal graduated from university!I'm not going say too much about this as I think the pictures speak for themselves but I just wanted to share such an important moment in our lives with … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {21st July 2024}….
Every week (ish) I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous 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) Another week, another cheap day out with the kids - I feel like this could be my new regular opening to these posts instead of the reduced fresh flowers that I used to love sharing. This week, we went to Brimham Rocks for a picnic and a play in the best natural playground I know. All my photos have photos of my partner's kids … [Read more...]

I feel like I've changed a lot over the last couple of years - I got confident enough to leave my marriage and to allow myself to take a chance again in a new relationship and I am happier than I've been in a long time. It wasn't easy though so I thought I'd share a few ways that might help you to build up your own confidence.

Top Tips on finding the best spot to pitch your tent…
I feel like I'm a bit of a camping expert now, I have been camping for the last two summers after all so I thought I'd share a bit of my camping wisdom today and tell you all my top tips when it comes to deciding on the best spot to pitch your tent!We usually go to the same campsite which is Park Foot Campsite which is right next to Pooley Bridge near to Penrith. We were planning on going back again this year but we struggled a little bit with holidays and being able to get time off together when the kids are off school so we've ended up booking somewhere a little bit different … [Read more...]
How does the ‘Bike to Work’ scheme work?
More and more employers these days are offering their employees the chance to join the 'Bike to Work' scheme - mine included. I'm a huge fan of the scheme and have a bike that I paid for using it so today, I thought I'd tell you all you need to know about the scheme. I bought a second hand bike a few years ago after I realised how much I enjoyed riding my exercise bike but I was so disappointed after my first couple of rides because I felt like it was ridiculously hard work just riding around the block so I relegated the bike to the back of the garage and went back to my exercise … [Read more...]
