Remember me telling you that I'd switched our phones to a pay as you go plan which was so much cheaper than we were previously paying? Did I also tell you that even though we got so much more data than we had before for less money, the 8GB of data we get can only be used in the UK? If we want to use our phone abroad then we can have 500GB a day for something like £5.00.That doesn't seem like a huge amount of data when you consider that I use Facetime to keep in touch with home and do plenty of Instagramming and Googling for directions and things nearby to do and see. Anything over the … [Read more...]

How I meal plan for my family when I won’t be here….
I learned last year when Miss Frugal and I went to Cyprus that if I don't write a meal plan for Mr and Master Frugal to follow while we're away without the, then they'll eat either basic meals like beans on toast or they'll simply get a takeaway - neither of which are ideal when we're away for 5 days.That's why I've spent this morning writing an easy meal plan for them for when we're away in New York next week and seeing as I've finished it, I thought I'd share it with you and tell you a little bit about why I've chosen the meals that I have....Before I started, I took into account … [Read more...]
Seven ways to say Sorry….
I'm quite a tolerant person and I understand that people, especially children, aren't perfect. We all make mistakes and to me, it's really important that we acknowledge when we make a mistake and that we apologise to anyone our mistake has affected.I've always tried to teach the kids that it's not just the saying sorry that matters because, let's face it, anyone can say the word sorry. That's not hard at all (unless you're Mr Frugal), is it?What is hard is acting like you're sorry an showing the person you're apologising to that you really mean it.As the parent of a teenager and … [Read more...]
Eleven ways to pack more storage into your home….
I love my house but there's no getting away from the fact that we have hardly any storage space which causes a problem when you have a family of four who seem to have a lot of 'stuff'.The house itself isn't tiny although it is on the small side - we bought a smaller house than we could have afforded at the time because we wanted to have money to spend on having fun with the kids. I know that's totally the opposite to what they say you should do but the difference in mortgage payments between this and the larger house we almost bought was quite a lot and we really wanted to just enjoy the … [Read more...]
Why I create every day….
Do you consider yourself to be a creative person?Until last year, bearing in mind the fact that I see myself as the world's worst crafter, my answer to that question would have been a resounding NO!But when I was off work ill, I watched the video below by Emily Quinton over at Makelight and I felt inspired enough that I decided that I was going to make some time every day to create something - no matter how small.At this point, I already knew how much I loved photography but I realised that I always took photos for a purpose, whether it was for here on the blog, to record a … [Read more...]
Slimming World on a Budget {Week 3}….
So, rather embarrassingly, my last Slimming World update was way back at the end of January and I don't have too much more to report since then as I've struggled more than I expected.My first struggle was that I was getting stomach cramps on about day 2 or 3 each time I tried it for some reason so I gave up each time. My specialist mentioned that Slimming World may not be the best diet for me to follow as it doesn't necessarily encourage the best eating habits ( apparently the 'free' foods can encourage over eating of the wrong foods) and he suggested I give Weight Watchers points system … [Read more...]
