We've all heard the saying that 'Money won't buy you happiness' and although I completely agree with that, I also can't deny that having money certainly makes like a lot easier! For that reason, I want my children to leave home (not yet but one day ;-)) with a healthy attitude to money and to be able to budget and save and do all the grown up money stuff that it took me years to figure out after I left home.As I was trying to list some of the things I do to with my two to help them learn about money, I actually realised that I do more than I thought I did and I bet you're the same - some … [Read more...]

How to get good quality meat for great prices….
Let me just say straight away that this isn't a review. Or rather it is a review but one that I'm writing because I placed an order myself with Muscle Foods and I was so impressed with the quality of food for the price I paid that I wanted to share it with you guys too. Some of the links I've included are affiliate links though which means that if you do buy something, you'll pay exactly the same but I might also get something too. Thanks. ;-)I don't know about you but I always feel better buying something from a company when I've been recommended them by people that I know so when the … [Read more...]
Small things that make me smile {July 2016}….
Without wanting to sound all woe is me, July hasn't been the easiest month for us as I've not been well at all recently. I'm a lot better now thanks to some very strong painkillers and I'm hoping that my appointment at the hospital this week will get me sorted once and for all so there's nothing to be overly concerned about.We've still had a lovely month though with some amazing highs so I'm going to focus on those today and share some of the small things that have made me smile this month.I'll start with an update on Master Frugal because he's made me smile a lot this month and … [Read more...]
The end of an era….
Master Frugal has now completed a full two weeks at the secondary school he'll be attending in September and so far, he's liking it which is a huge relief. I'm not sure how the schools deal with transition in your area but here the kids spend pretty much the whole of July at their new schools to help them get used to it ready for when they start for real in September.His time at his Junior school ended at the start of the month with a very emotional leavers ceremony that had me sat with a lump in my throat from the moment it started. I managed to (almost) stop the tears from falling … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {15th July 2016}….
1) I had to buy the last of Master Frugal's new school uniform this week and although it's pretty hard to save money when most of it is compulsory, I did manage to save a little bit. I have no idea why he needs both a short and long sleeved top along with a hoody but I was a good parent and bought them all along with the school socks! I drew the line at the shorts and the tracksuit bottoms as the PE teacher told me that he'd never wear the tracksuit bottoms and any shorts were OK as long as they were black. He has a pair of black nike shorts that he's going to wear and a pair of plain black … [Read more...]
The other side of Football….
The violent scenes shown on TV this week of the clashes between English and Russian football fans have made me feel both sad and angry and whilst I don't claim to know who's at fault or why the fans are rioting, I do know that many innocent people have been caught up in the clashes when all they wanted to do was watch the team they love play the game they love.I've heard people saying that the violence makes them 'ashamed to be English', that it's 'typical of the English fans' and even one comment on Facebook that 'English fans shouldn't be allowed to travel'. Really? Do people really … [Read more...]
