After last week's mini egg omelettes success I thought I'd try making them again but this time I made them with the intention of using up some broccoli and grated cheese that was left over from when I made macaroni cheese with broccoli and bacon last night. They were even more delicious than last weeks version!Don't worry, I'm not going to share a different egg muffin recipe each week - this one was too good not to share though.... Cheesey Broccoli Egg Muffins 4 eggs (beaten with a splash of milk and seasoned) Broccoli Grated cheese Leftover ham if you have someGrease a … [Read more...]

Happy 10th Birthday Master Frugal….
Master Frugal is 10 years old today!I have no idea where the time's gone but it feels like only yesterday that I first held him in my arms and I can't believe that he's so grown up.I'm so proud of the boy he's grown into but despite starting this post about nine million times (me, exaggerate?), I just can't seem to find the right words to express how I feel. So I thought I'd share some of my favourite photos of us together instead. ;-)I love you millions and billions Master Frugal.Happy Birthday!Don’t miss out on future posts like this - receive updates … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {27th March 2015}….
It's been a massively busy week this week and it feels like I haven't had time to do anything, let alone anything frugal but I've had a good think and managed to come up with five.... Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Miss Frugal is very particular about the style of her school skirt as she doesn't like it too short (I'm sure that won't last), she doesn't like it too tight and she certainly doesn't want a flarey style as she worries it'll blow up in the wind! She loves the skirt she has now though so when I saw them on sale this week in New Look, I bought an extra one in her … [Read more...]
Our top five favourite family board games….
I've said before a couple of times that I don't necessarily agree with limiting screen time for children - it certainly doesn't work for us as a family and even if it did, I'm more an advocate of giving them other options to encourage them away from electronics.One thing I make sure we do together is play - we play cards, board games and even have family xbox tournaments together. No matter what the kids are doing or planning to do, if I suggest a family game night they will always say yes. And some of our happiest family moments have been sat around our dining room table playing … [Read more...]

I hope to be sharing lots of clothes bargains with you and also getting the kids involved a little bit to show you their favourite clothes!First up Miss Frugal....As the parent of a headstrong 12 year old who has (and always has since being a toddler) very strong opinions on the clothes that she does and doesn't like to wear.Although I know there are some of you who will no doubt say that I'm the parent and what I say … [Read more...]
