It's been a while since I've had a competition on here so when I saw that some of the lovely UK Money Bloggers were running a competition I thought I'd chip in and join in with them. The prizes are perfect for this time of year so I'm really excited to share this with you.There are eight Christmas Afternoon Treats with Flowers M&S hampers up for grabs, worth £50 each which that means eight lucky winners will receive a hamper in time for Christmas! I'm a bit jealous to be fair so I hope you're up for sharing. :)The UK Money Bloggers are the loveliest bunch of people … [Read more...]
How to say no at Christmas…
Today I'm sharing a few tips to help you decline Christmas party invites in a nice way without damaging your relationships with friends and family.If you're anything like me, the closer Christmas gets, the more invites start piling up for various different Christmas social events - there's the work Christmas party, the drinks after work with one group of friends, the night out in town with another group of friends, the meals out with friends you rarely see (sometimes with good reason) and even just the invites to pop round to friends and family's houses.Some I wouldn't miss for the … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {29 November 2019}….
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.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)1) Fresh flowers make me happy but paying full price for flowers doesn't make me happy … [Read more...]
How to defrost a freezer safely….
I had no idea how to defrost a freezer until this last couple of weeks and you know what, I'd really rather than I hadn't have had to have a crash course in the subject but seeing as I have, I thought I'd share my newfound knowledge with you!You might have seen recently that my fridge freezer decided to have a temporary fit which took a couple of weeks to fix as we needed a special part ordering in. When it was finally fixed, we decided to move all of the food from the other under-counter freezer in the kitchen into the newly fixed freezer so we could give the under-counter one a … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Minced Beef and Onions Recipe….
My slow cooker mince beef and onions recipe is definitely my most cooked recipe and I only just realised that I'd never shared it with you before - how odd is that? I thought I'd put that right today...Slow cooker mince beef and onions can be made into so many different meals - you can serve it with a jacket potato or some veg, with Yorkshire puddings, dumplings or roasties or make it into a pie with pastry or mash as a topping. It freezes so well that it's a perfect meal to batch cook and it's so easy to make that you can easily just throw it all in the slow … [Read more...]
This time last year…. LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood….
Hmmm, posts about LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood don't really belong on a blog about living a frugal lifestyle, do they?Up until recently, I did kind of agree with that sentiment so even though, we've had some AMAZING holidays over the last couple of years, I haven't really shared all that much on here with you. But, after my post earlier this month, I thought I'd share some photos from last year's trip to LA with you because it was a year ago today that Miss Frugal and I were enjoying the last day of our holiday of a lifetime.I feel like I can genuinely call it a holiday of … [Read more...]
