This week has been a pretty good week in our house - both in the frugal and the family sense. ;-)1) For the last couple of months I've been organising a charity football match for work and I'll be honest, I've been losing a little bit of sleep as I was worrying that we'd bitten off more than we could chew and that it would all go wrong on the day. I couldn't have been more wrong as I couldn't have ever imagined a more successful day - starting with Master Frugal scoring a penalty at his beloved Riverside Stadium and ending with Mr Frugal scoring the winning goal in the final minutes of … [Read more...]

Days Out: Middleham Castle and Forbidden Corner….
Last weekend we were looking for a bit of a special day out to celebrate the end of SATs for Master Frugal and the end of a hard exam week for Miss Frugal and after much debate we decided to visit Middleham Castle and Forbidden Corner. Middleham Castle Middleham Castle is somewhere I've wanted to visit for years now as I've read about it's history as a setting in a number of different books. It was the childhood home of King Richard III (also known as the Kingmaker) and is steeped in history and tragedy.It's probably one of my favourite places that we've been since we joined English … [Read more...]
Small things that make me smile {May 2016}….
This last month has been a great month with some brilliant stand out happy moments!We started the month with a cheeky long weekend to Cyprus for Miss Frugal and I which I know I may have mentioned a few times on here already( here and here mainly ) so I won't go into detail again but I will say that those five days were perfect. I can't remember ever feeling as relaxed and considering one of us was a hormonal teenager, you might be surprised to hear that there wasn't a single argument, mood or sulk over the whole time we were there!We've had some lovely days out together as a … [Read more...]
From boring to beautiful – how we transformed a bedside cabinet on a budget….
A little while ago, Miss Frugal announced that she wanted a more grown up bedroom as she felt that hers was too babyish (despite the fact we'd only decorated it last year. Apparently she now hated the turquoise and pink theme she'd picked out not that long ago and she wanted to go for all white.The first problem (for her, not me) is that I'm planning to do Master Frugal's room next month as a surprise when he goes away on is school residential and I don't want her to have another big room makeover before his is done.Plus the fact that she only just had it done means that her room was … [Read more...]
Review: Vrissaki Beach Hotel, Protaras….
First of all, I just want to put it out there that I paid for our holiday to the Vrissaki Beach Hotel and until I got home and thought about what a great time we'd had, I had no intention of reviewing our stay or the hotel itself so this might seem like a bit of an odd review as I probably don't have photos to match everything that I'm going to say! ;-)(Can you tell I'm not a travel blogger?)We booked our holiday to the Vrissaki Beach Hotel in Protaras through First Choice holidays and paid £546 in total for the two of us for four nights. I didn't specifically want to go to Cyprus … [Read more...]
Strawberry lemonade Kool Aid cupcakes!….
We have a shop near us that sells American sweets and a couple of weeks ago, there was much excitement from the kids (and maybe me) when they started to stock Kool Aid drinks sachets. They weren't expensive so we stocked up on some flavours thinking we'd be back for more in no time - we bought strawberry lemonade, grape, pineapple, lemonade and one I can't remember the flavour of but I know it was bright green when we made it up.When we started to make the first one I was more than a little horrified at the amount of sugar you have to put in! For a small sachet of Kool Aid … [Read more...]
