So much for tomorrow's activity of making books.... Little Miss frugal just caught sight of the instruction video and 'just had' to make her book tonight....She also didn't like my suggestion about the book being about what we had done in the summer holidays and much preferred to make hers about a princess who lived on the beach. Excuse the spellings, she is only six.... And the reason that she has a mood on in the last pictures is that she thinks that she drew 'The End' too big and didn't want me to take a photo of that bit. We had fun making it but Master Frugal is in bed and I don't think … [Read more...]

This should not only save a fortune but our own lollies will be much healthier (in theory ;-)).Homemade Ice Lolly Ideas for the kids Not an ice lolly as such but you could freeze bananas, either in or out of their skins.

Don’t have a Vase? Here’s 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase….
Don't worry if you don't have a Vase? Here's 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase...Considering at least half of my weekly five frugal things posts used to start with a picture of some reduced flowers that I've bought through the week, it might surprise you to know that I don't actually own a single vase. I did used to have a few basic ones but honestly, they just took space up in the cupboard under my sink so I gave them away - one to a friend with a bunch of flowers arranged in it prettily and the others went to the charity shop. I've never missed them in any way … [Read more...]

Why sleep is so important to me right now (and how I make sure I get it)….
This year has been a hard year.I started to feel ill between Christmas and New Year and by New Years Eve, I was on the phone to the Doctors because I was so poorly with a chest infection. They gave me some tablets and I started to feel a little better by the middle of January with just a niggling cough that wouldn't go away. Fast forward a month and I started to feel worse again with the cough getting so severe that the Doctor I saw described it in his notes as being 'severe and violent'.I got worse and the cough was making me sick several times a day and definitely stopping me … [Read more...]
