Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. After our visit to a Lavender farm this week I've used the lavender I came away with to make lavender sugar. I'll write a post up about how I did it but it's super simple really and once the lavender has infused itself into the sugar I'm going to bake with it - Lavender Shortbread is the first thing on my list!2. We were away last weekend and we had some gorgeous weather which was a surprise as we were expecting a pretty poor weekend weather wise. The sun was shining though and as I'd been expecting poor weather, I'd left the sun tan … [Read more...]

Gorgeous cheese and pesto toasted baguette….
I wan't sure about the recipe I had in mind to share with you for today's #BetterWithLeerdammer sandwich idea but basically, I just served it to Mr Frugal for his tea and he loved it which is high praise from someone who's quite fussy with his food normally!Today's cheese and pesto toasted baguette is the simplest sandwich ever but it tastes delicious! All I did was cut a baguette in half and spread a layer of pesto on the bread before adding two slices of Leerdammer Light. I popped it under the grill until the cheese had melted and then spooned a little more pesto on the top before … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {14th August 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week:Today is my last day at work until September and I honestly could not be more excited. We have so many things that we want to do and we're planning a family conference tonight over takeaway (paid for with vouchers I earned by sharing Zeek with you all) and plan our fortnight. I used Tesco Boost and with my points I managed to get enough vouchers for a lovely meal an Pizza Express, another meal out at a pub chain that I can't for the life of me remember the name of and a day out at Ocean Beach theme park. Not bad for free!It's always … [Read more...]
What happens when you let your 12 year old go back to school shopping on their own….
This time last year we'd just spent a fortune on a whole new school uniform to buy for Miss Frugal as she was going up to secondary school. As is the case with lots of schools, the uniform list is extensive with much of it only being available directly from the school or from certain suppliers - all costing more than I could have got it for elsewhere.Even the pencil case and calculator were £10 and 'highly recommended' for students and obviously, she wanted this as she didn't want to be the only one not to have it.Fast forward to this year's back to school preparations and it's been … [Read more...]
Family Fun in Manchester….
We have a rather odd family tradition in this house!Every Summer, we head off to the Trafford centre for the weekend. We stay in the same hotel and do exactly the same things every year and if I’m honest, I probably enjoy it more than any other break we go on through the year!Last Friday afternoon, we rocked up at the Premier Inn at the Trafford centre, dropped our things off and headed straight over to the Trafford centre for our annual family activity of Laser Quest!(Clearly, when I say family activity, I really mean I’ll go sit in Costa for an hour and relax while they run … [Read more...]
My Week {5th July 2015}….
This picture pretty much sums up this last week for me - lots of time in the garden, lots of work to get through and lots of time spent with the kids! It's been such a gorgeous week this week hasn't it? So nice in fact that I've spent most of my week (when I haven't been asleep or at work) sat outside in the garden.My garden isn't the biggest and it certainly isn't the prettiest right now but I have a nice little spot in the shade where my table and chairs are set up and I've really enjoyed sitting out there watching the kids play on the trampoline and putting down all of the ideas that … [Read more...]
