I really didn't want to visit the Monkey Haven when we visited the Isle of Wight for a week recently because I thought it would make me a little bit sad (and very angry) to see the animals that had been so badly neglected before being rescued and re-homed to their new home.I was talked into it by Master Frugal though who loves monkeys and wanted to see them regardless of their sad stories! I'm so pleased he talked me into going though as I loved it almost as much as he did.It's not just monkey's at Monkey Haven though, the first animals we saw when we walked in were the cheeky Meerkats … [Read more...]

Family Days Out – The Donkey Sanctuary, Isle of Wight….
When I did my research into the Isle of Wight and wrote down a list of all the places we could potentially visit while we were there, the Donkey Sanctuary was most definitely not on my list, yet it turned out to be one of the best things we did!It just didn't seem like somewhere we'd enjoy all that much so it didn't make the cut onto our list of places that we wanted to try and visit. After taking a wrong turn on the way back to our caravan one afternoon though, we passed the sign for it so we thought we'd just pop in for a quick look around. It ended up being one of my favourite … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things we did in the Isle of Wight {11th August 2017}….
Last week we had a week away in the Isle of Wight where, despite the rain and the wind which was ridiculous at times, we had an amazing week.

It’s not easy cooking for five in a small, not very well equipped caravan kitchen but we’ve tried our best and … [Read more...]
Easy muffin recipe – perfect for whatever flavour muffins you’re making….
I've decided toshare my super easy muffin recipe with you again today because (a) I've just made a new batch of these muffins and loved them, and (b) I just got an email from a lovely reader saying she's made a batch too and loved them!I have a basic easy muffin recipe that I always stick to and I just add different bits and bobs to the mix depending on what sort of muffins I am making - the batch I made today were blueberry muffins using a couple of handfuls of frozen blueberries but I often chop up a chocolate bar or mash some mashed banana and cinnamon up to add in, both of which … [Read more...]
