I know it's completely the wrong time of year but last weekend, I sat and made a bit of a plan for what I want my garden to look like and how I want it to be more than just a place to sit and enjoy the sun!I thought it might be nice to try and document the progress I make out there by sharing a bit of an update every now and again so today, I'm sharing what my plan is and what the garden looks like right now!For years, our garden was just an outdoor playground with a 12 ft trampoline, numerous bats, balls and rackets and just about every garden game going. We could (and did) spend … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {12 October 2018}….
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, I do want to 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. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) I hate to use the 'C' word when it's only the … [Read more...]
Butternut Squash and Ginger Soup…
Judging by the sky outside today, it's definitely a soup for lunch day! Which means that today is the perfect day to share my super warming butternut squash and ginger soup recipe!One of my all-time most popular posts is my recipe for spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup - especially at this time of year!It's my favourite soup recipe most of the year round (I'm all about Pea and Mint in the Summer) but I made a big batch if it last weekend which I had over a few days for lunches. I fancied a bit of a change this week so when I spotted some reduced price ginger root in the … [Read more...]

6 Simple to make your child’s stay in hospital easier….
When Master Frugal had a bit of an extended stay in hospital recently, there were a couple of things we did that made a difficult time that little bit easier. I thought I'd share them with you today as there were some things that we didn't really realise until the last couple of days and I really wish we'd known then sooner.I'm really sorry to keep wheeling out this photo but it's the only one I took of him when he was in the hospital and that was only taken because he wanted to update his friends on why he was off and what had happened. Obviously, the way to do that these days is on … [Read more...]
Confessions of a Money Blogger….
This may come as a surprise (not) but I'm far from perfect when it comes to money saving! (Actually, this probably isn't a surprise to regular readers ;-))I had a chat with Miss Frugal this weekend about social media and one of the things I said to her was that the people she follows on Instagram who look perfect and put together most likely aren't. I explained to her that they only share what they want you to see and although that doesn't make them 'fake', it does mean that their life probably isn't as amazing as you might think it is from looking at the photos … [Read more...]
