1) Remember a few weeks ago I mentioned that we'd been blackberry picking and I'd saved some to make some blackberry vinegar. Well, it's taken me until this week to actually get around to making it!You can find out how I made it here if you want to have a look. Because it took me so long to get around to making it, I ended up freezing a batch of the blackberries and it made no difference at all to the flavour so I might go pick some more for next time I want to make it.2) I picked up some great reductions in Tesco this week....They had piles of both and whilst I didn't … [Read more...]

Beautiful Motivational Quote Wall Art {Free Printable}….
I've been busy this morning making pretty things (AKA some lovely Motivational Quote Wall Art) and as a thank you to all you lovely readers, I thought I'd share what I've been up to with you so you can have some pretty too.I got so many messages about how much you all liked the 'Throw Kindness Like confetti' quote wall art that I made for Miss Frugal's wall that I thought I'd make some motivational quote wall art for you too. I'll be honest though, I struggled to narrow the quotes down just four quotes as I do love a good motivational quote - I even have a private pinterest board … [Read more...]
Family Days Out – Monkey Haven, Isle of Wight….
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 places to buy designer handbags for less….
OK, you might not think that a blog about frugal living isn't the best place for a post about how to buy designer handbags for less and to a certain extent, I agree. But....The reason I'm sharing this post with you today is because, to me, being frugal is all about making the best of what you have and getting the best deals for everything you buy. If you want to buy a designer handbag and you can afford it then that's brilliant and I want to show you where you can get designer handbags for less.I've always had a weakness for handbags although I don't make frivolous purchases … [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. I actually wrote this while we were there (we came home last weekend) and intended to share it with you last Friday but the wifi was so bad that I didn't manage to post it so I hope you're OK with this week's five frugal things being a week behind....1) We’ve only eaten out once as we’ve made full use of the caravan’s teeny tiny kitchen. 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...]
