So, earlier this week I told you about the start of my lovely weekend away last weekend and today, I'm going to tell you about the main event - the blogging retreat that was hosted by the amazing Tots100 team.I'm naturally quite shy and because of that, I generally avoid these types of events but after loving last year's UK Money Bloggers conference as much as I did, I decided that leaving my comfort zone every now and again was a good thing. Mr Frugal treated me to the weekend as part of my Christmas present and ever since I found out I was going I've been torn between excitement at … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {27 April 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 don't know if you have any beauty staples that … [Read more...]
20 Fun and Frugal Hobbies for you to enjoy….
I'm a strong believer that everyone should do something that they enjoy doing to relax them but I'm well aware that lots of hobbies cost money so I wanted to give you a bit of an idea of what frugal hobbies you can do that won't break the bank - some of them might even make or save you some money as well as bringing you enjoyment.I've written about how I try to create every day before because just a few minutes of creativity makes me happier but it doesn't have to be every day - just taking a few minutes when you can to do something you enjoy will definitely have a positive effect on … [Read more...]
A Perfect Weekend…. {Part 1}
Last Thursday, I boarded a plane at Newcastle airport and set off on a bit of a journey - a journey that would not only take me to the other end of the country but one that I hoped would help me to begin the healing process after my Dad passed away last month.I'd originally planned a cheeky weekend away at the Flea Retreats Blogging Weekend which was a gift from Mr Frugal at Christmas but after my Dad died, I was very tempted to cancel the weekend entirely. In the end, after some convincing from my lovely little family, I went the other way completely and booked an extra night away at the … [Read more...]

What we ate in a week {April 2018}….
Today I'm sharing the next post in my 'What we ate in a week' series!The plan with these posts is that I start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and just update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day. This week I have a very random selection of meals as I didn't meal plan and I didn't do a weekly shop. This is the week after the week after my Dad died so I was starting to come to terms with things at this point and blogging to keep my mind of things but at the same time, I felt like I was a bit in limbo waiting for the funeral and … [Read more...]
