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. 1) Master Frugal is taking GCSE Food Tech and some of the ingredients he is asked to take in are a bit random but so far, we've had a lot of them in the house already so haven't had to spend a fortune like some parents might have had to do. Monday's recipe needed no less than six different herbs and spiced and we had every single one of them in our cupboard - good … [Read more...]
Homemade Wood Polish to make your home shine….
Over the last year or so I've been experimenting more and more with homemade cleaning products. Today, I'm sharing my latest creation - homemade DIY wood polish.I have lovely dark wood bannisters which can look quite grubby quite quickly thanks to the kids often grubby hands so they need a regular wipe down and polish to keep them looking as lovely as I want them to.I really love my homemade cleaning spray but for my bannisters, I wanted something that would leave a little bit of a shine on the wood so I tried adding some olive oil to the mix.I had a disaster with the first … [Read more...]
Homemade Chilli Cheese Breadsticks Recipe….
Chilli cheese breadsticks are my new favourite snack!A while ago, I shared my favourite homemade breadsticks recipe with you and today I wanted to share a slight variation on that recipe - Chilli cheese breadsticks!

Chilli Cheese breadsticks They're made using the same bread base recipe so I won't repeat it again as you can just pop over and get the recipe from here if you fancy trying these chilli cheese breadsticks.

Five Free Things to do in Middlesbrough….
I often find myself googling 'free things to do in' whatever place I'm visiting so I thought I'd start a series of blog posts featuring free things to do in various parts of the country. I'm starting today with free things to do in Middlesbrough.I feel like Middlesbrough gets a bit of a bad deal when it comes to people's opinions of what it's like to live there. Yes, it's an industrial town and yes, people who live in Middlesbrough are often referred to as Smoggies and yes, it's more often than not somewhere near the top of any 'worst place to live' lists but there's a lot … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {6th March 2020}….
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. 1) So this one isn't all that money-saving for me but it will be for whoever gets the benefit so I'm sharing it anyway. :-)I took all of Master Frugal's ski things into school and asked them to pass them on to someone who'll be going on next year's school ski trip. He's growing so quick that even if he was to go skiing again in future, he'd need new things … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {2nd March 2020} ….
Oh my word, how is it possibly March already?Remember last week when I did all that batch cooking? Well, it's a good job that I did because I ended up unexpectedly working away for half the week so if I hadn't have been so prepared then I can easily see last week descending into a week of takeaways and junk food without me here. ;-) It was brilliant to be so far from home and still be able to let the kids know what was for tea! I still have some mince and onions and some bolognese in the freezer from my adventures last weekend and I made a big batch of … [Read more...]
