How I achieved the perfect work, life, blog balance…
Blogging with a full time job is easier than you might think!Today's a bit of a different kind of post for me - it's all about how I manage to have a great work, life, blog balance!I've been asked a couple of times lately how I manage to balance a full-time job, a happy home life and blogging so I thought I'd share a little bit about my life and tell you how I do it. First, a bit of background. One of the reasons I started this blog was to document our journey into living a more frugal lifestyle - something that we needed to do as I wanted to have the flexibility of working less … [Read more...]
How to save money on your train with Split Ticketing and why I prefer not to….
Have you heard about the amazing way to save money on your train fares? I thought I'd share how to save money with split ticketing today and also tell you why I personally prefer not to do it!What is Split Ticketing?

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things.

Do you talk about money with your family?Today, I want you to think about the conversations you do have with your partner and with your children and the impact that talking about money (or not talking about it) can have on your family finances.To me, there are two different types of conversations you should be having about money. The first is with your partner and they need to be more in-depth than the conversations you probably already have. Mr Frugal and I have never really discussed money in that much detail - we have a joint account and I oversee most aspects of our … [Read more...]
What my teenagers ate last week when I wasn’t there to cook for them….
Last week was a bit of an odd week as I was working a late shift at work during the week so I wasn't at home to cook. I also didn't write a proper meal plan (I know, I'm hanging my head in shame) because I was away in London at the weekend and felt very bleugh when I got home. Mr Frugal waited until I got home for his tea and was on lates himself 3 out of the 5 nights so the kids had to mainly fend for themselves which I would absolutely expect them to be able to do at their age (17 and 14). Let's see how they got on... Monday Homemade Chicken Parmo with chips, salad … [Read more...]
