I actually wrote this post originally four years ago today when I was faced with about three quarters of a huge turkey to try and use up in the days following Christmas. These days we don't do turkey on Christmas Day because we're not overly keen (hence all the turkey leftovers we had when I wrote this) but I did think it might be helpful for those of you who do have leftovers!On another note, it makes me smile to look at my photos from back then and even the way I used to write - it's a bit cringey (as Master Frugal would say) and I almost didn't re-share this but then I thought of all … [Read more...]

Christmas Eve in our house….
Christmas Eve marks the official start of Christmas in our house and I think I probably enjoy it more than Christmas Day itself if I'm honest. I know that sounds a bit odd so I thought I'd tell you a little bit about Christmas Eve in our house....Mr Frugal often has to work on Christmas Eve so it's usually just me and the kids until he gets home around 4pm and we normally have a leisurely morning with pancakes or waffles for breakfast and a snuggle on the settee watching a Christmas movie (normally Elf for the 99th time since the first of December).After we've watched a film, we'll … [Read more...]
Easy DIY Paper Basket to fill with treats….
Last year I made a little DIY paper basket after dissecting one that Master Frugal made at school to bring his homemade peppermint creams home in. It was such a cute little basket but I had to wait until after Christmas to pull it apart in case I couldn't put it back together again. ;-)It's OK though, I managed to take it apart, figure out how to make my own version and put his back together before he even looked up from his new Xbox game. The DIY paper baskets are great for homemade Christmas treats so I thought I'd have a go at showing you how to make them today.... How to make a DIY … [Read more...]

Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {9th December 2016}….
1) This is a sad day for me! I went to the shop last night, got all excited when I saw the Radio Times was out and then saw the price of it so put it back on the shelf! Since when did the Radio Times cost £4.50 for the Christmas edition!!!We don't watch TV much at all so it's a total waste of money for us but I would have bought it if it had been a bit cheaper as we like to look through it and highlight what we want to watch. We can just save a fiver though and look at the TV Guide we get with our TV package.2) While I've been ill convenience foods have been a bit of a … [Read more...]
Seven Syn Free party food snacks {Slimming World}….
Wait till you see the syn free party food snacks that I've got to share with you today - they make being on a diet at this time of year much more tolerable!Before I get to them though, I wanted to tell you about the Lidl Hot Air Fryer that they were cooked in because I was sent one to try a couple of weeks ago and it's been amazing.I've had an Air Fryer for a few years now and is one of the most used pieces of kit in my kitchen and before I tried I was convinced that a budget version of the one I had just wasn't going to be able to compete.When we unboxed the Lidl Hot Air Fryer, I … [Read more...]
