Do you follow The Diary of a Frugal Family on Facebook yet?

If not, you’re missing out on all the bargains that I post on there so you really should get on over there and Like Me!

I often get e mailed about some really good bargains and discounts and I although I usually share them on Twitter, I thought it would be nice to have somewhere that I posted them altogether in one place.  I’m going to start using my Facebook page to do this by sharing a daily #FrugalFamilyTopTip with you all.  I’ve started today with a double deal by sharing how to get a 2 month Friends and Family Railcard for free and also how to get a free Clinique mascara in exchange for your swapping your old mascara.

Feel free to post any bargains you come across on there aswell.

See you there

If I  tell you something about me, do you promise not to laugh?

*hangs head in shame* I don’t have a wardrobe in my bedroom!  Really, I don’t.

When we moved house, Mr Frugal refused to bring our lovely huge wardrobes because of the fact that the staircase here bends round back on itself and there apparently there was ‘no way that big heavy wardrobe was getting up there’!  Personally, I think if he’d been willing to try, he could have got it up there eventually but that’s a whole other argument

Anyway, the upshot of it is, my lovely huge wardrobes got left behind and I bought a few sets of canvas drawers as a stop gap until we got round to decorating to our bedroom – which we still haven’t done.  But, I’m at the point now where I CANNOT live without wardrobes for much longer.

So…. I’m on the hunt for the perfect wardrobe and because I’m a little OCD, I’ll need new bedside cabinets and matching drawers.  I thought I wanted to go all modern and have a boutique style bedroom that’s all dramatic and high gloss but I’ve been looking at some lovely pine furniture designs and I’m tempted to go all traditional now.

I’m a little bit in love with this bed….

I can picture it in my bedroom with a lovely wallpapered feature wall behind it and nice matching bed linen and curtains.

So what do you think, do I go all traditional or stick with the original modern idea?
