It's been a few months since Miss Frugal has done a review of her monthly Birchbox subscription box but she loved this month's box that much that she asked if she could share it with you.....Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - Lip Tar Primer This is supposed to help keep your lipstick in place and looking good for longer which basically means it makes your lipstick stay on for longer than usual. It works and it feels really nice and doesn't feel sticky on your lips like some do. It smells minty because of the peppermint oils in it.Marcelle - BB Cream Golden Glow Illuminator This … [Read more...]

Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {4th November 2016}….
1) This first one is a total cheat as I did it ages ago but I never told you so I'm going to tell you about it today. When I found out I was going to need an operation I bought a three months pre-paid prescription certificate because I had a good few weeks to wait to see the specialist, then there was the wait for the operation itself and then the recovery period. After speaking to the Doctor, I knew there was a good chance I would need a few different prescriptions so I went for it and splashed out just short of £30 for three months. In that time, I think I've had 7 or 8 different tablets … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {28th October 2016}….
I'm so sorry if you've already seen this post or if you left a comment last week but the whole post got eaten by my blog over the weekend so I've had to redo it. Hope that's OK, Cass x x 1) This one is going to make us sound a bit greedy but we like our food here so don’t judge. Along with my usual batch cooked meals I often have ready made pies in the freezer for a quick and easy meal when I don’t have time (or energy) to cook. I used to serve two pies each (not for the kids obviously) because that’s what my Dad used to serve when we had pies when I was growing up and I just did it … [Read more...]
What to buy a teenage girl for Christmas – as written by a teenage girl….
No-one can give better advice on what to buy a teenage girl for Christmas than a teenage girl herself so for this Christmas gift guide, I've drafted in Miss Frugal and her Picmonkey skills to help me to help you with what to buy the teenage girl in your life for Christmas.It didn't quite go according to plan though when I saw that the first gift guide she produced had a distinctly un-frugal feel to it. We decided to name that version the 'Splurge' version and include it anyway for those who are splashing out this Christmas and I asked her to do a second, more budget conscious version … [Read more...]
Our favourite family games to play on the go….
We have a stack of board games in our garage ranging from Twister to Cluedo and Pie Face to Monopoly and over the last few years, as the kids have got older, we've loved playing every one of them.The reason they're all in the garage and not in the house right now (apart from lack of space ;-)) is that we've been enjoying playing with our collection of games that we call our travel games.We call them our travel games because they're the ones that we take on holiday with us or anywhere that we expect to be sitting around for a while. They're all small, portable, easy to set up and easy … [Read more...]
Do you wait for Black Friday to do your Christmas Shopping?
Christmas shopping was so much simpler when the kids were younger!Their Christmas wishlists were so predictable that I could do most of my shopping for them even before I asked them to tell me what they wanted for Christmas. Those were the good old days - the days of dolls and dressing up and of Lego and magic tricks and the days where it was probably more about quantity than quality if I'm honest.Now, at the ages of 14 and almost 12, Christmas is a whole different ball game.Last year, I tried to make it more about experiences than gifts because I'd rather give them memories than … [Read more...]
