There's only 78 Sleeps to go which is just 3 pay days. I now it's only October but I'm going to start my 'How to have a Frugal Christmas' series now because if I wouldn't be a good Frugal blogger if I didn't tell you that you should have started shopping (or at least planning) by now. Christmas happens at the same time every year so there's no excuse - it's not like we don't know it's coming or anything. The first of my 'How to have a Frugal Christmas' is all about presents - don't panic though I'm not about to send you all out shopping or anything but I hope that I can help you plan what … [Read more...]

Things I want you to know about Daddy….
In years to come, my children can learn lots about me by reading this blog. I've shared a lot on here about myself in the last couple of years - everything from childhood memories to greatest fears along with lots of other things along the way but I don't really share much about Mr Frugal on here although he does pop up from time to time ;-) So today, I'm going to share some things I want them to know about their Dad. Not the obvious things like the fact that he loves football and his computer but the random important things that if I don't tell them, no-one will....To this day he … [Read more...]
Magpie Monday – More Bargains….
The first bargain I want to share this week is the outfit I bought for Miss Frugal's first grown up disco the week before last. She was so excited about this disco as it's the first one since she went up to the Juniors and even though she'd been talking about it for weeks beforehand, it wasn't until the night before that she decided that she wanted a new outfit to wear.I told her she didn't need new clothes as she had plenty in her wardrobe and marched her upstairs to prove my point but her bedroom looked like a jumble sale - she'd already tried almost everything in her wardrobe … [Read more...]
Not a Good Week….
I've not had a good week this week! My week from hell started when we got up on Monday morning and Master Frugal clearly wasn't well enough to go school. He looked white as a sheet and said he was achey all over so I sent him back to bed and arranged for Mr Frugal's mam to come and sit with him while I was at work. When I came home, he was snuggled up on the settee sound asleep, I pulled back the blanket to give him a hug and instantly noticed that he was burning up and I mean really burning up! We ran him a cool bath to try and cool him down but when I undressed him I noticed the … [Read more...]
Gadgets – I love you….
GADGET: 1) a small mechanical device or appliance or 2) any object that is interesting for its ingenuity or novelty rather than for its practical use.When I saw that the subject of this week's Friday Club was gadgets, I couldn't wait to tell you all about my favourite ones but then I decided to tell my gadgets how much I love them and the reasons why instead ;-) Dear Slow CookerYou're awesome, I love being able to fill you up on a morning and know that by the time I get home in the afternoon you will have filled the house with lovely tasty smells and have tea ready to … [Read more...]
Special Things….
If I asked you to choose one cherished object from your house and write about it, do you think you could? Do you think you could choose just one thing? No, me neither! When I read that the prompt was for this weeks Friday Club was ' a cherished object in your home', I knew I was going to have problems narrowing it down and I spent last night wandering round the house with the camera round my neck. Thanks for that Ella ;-) Only joking - it's a great idea for a theme and I actually had a lovely night with Miss Frugal talking about our special things, she loves to hear the story behind … [Read more...]
