I was having a look through one of those free magazines that the kids bring home from school a couple of weeks ago and I came across a day out which sounded like it was made for us - The Festival of Thrift.In the words of the magazine it promised to be all of my favourite words - fun, funky fabulously frugal and most important of all, free!How could we not go?Master Frugal got to be a blacksmith for half an hour and managed to make me a very presentable S hook for the kitchen and Miss Frugal found an airstream caravan called milkshakes and manicures where she … [Read more...]
Our favourite way to travel….
There are so many reasons why our favourite way to get somewhere is to travel by train. No one has to drive, it's more comfortable, you can move about when you want to, you can get a table and play games or relax listening to your music, you can get just about anywhere and finally, it's great value for money! Oh and if someone needs a wee, they don't have to wait twenty miles for the next service station.So when thetrainline.com offered to pay for us to go on an adventure by train we said a big yes and started planning where we wanted to go. The only problem was that we couldn't … [Read more...]
An artistic field trip thanks to Nintendo….
Ever since we were asked to be Nintendo family bloggers at the start of the year we've been lucky enough to receive some brilliant parcels through the post from them.So far, Master Frugal's favourite delivery by far has been Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U which is even better than the previous versions of Mario Kart Wii with new power ups and new characters along with options to customise your karts. The game play is more fun too and even I manage to complete a course without falling off the track a million times like I used to. I love Mario Kart 8 better than the others because you go … [Read more...]
Review: Cayton Bay Holiday Park….
A few weeks ago we were asked if we wanted to have a lovely weekend away with Park Resorts. It sounded like a great idea to have a cheeky weekend away before the madness of the last few weeks of term hit us so we said yes, chose the lovely sounding Cayton Bay Holiday Resort in North Yorkshire and set off on our travels one rainy Friday at the start of July. We're not usually bothered by the weather so the rain didn't really worry us - we just packed wellies and rain coats along with the scooters and the Summer Bag.Before I start, I don't have as many photos as I would usually have to … [Read more...]

#WeLoveWales – by Miss and Master F….
In the two week's school holiday last month we went to Wales. We've never been to Wales before so we were very excited.After that, we stayed in a castle (Ruthin Castle.) At the castle,we saw some peacocks 3 males and 5 female.The males were trying to impress the women by showing their feathers and shaking them. We helped a member of staff feed them bread and they ate out of our hands. We liked that bit.The room was amazing, however, did you know we had our own room. It was right next door to Mam and Dad's room and we watched a cop show on the TV but then Mam … [Read more...]
