What do you use your phone for?I use mine for checking the weather, helping with homework, googling new recipes, shopping, keeping up with everyone on social media, taking photos, reading blogs, writing myself notes and numerous other things that help me on a daily basis.I also use it to help me save money though and there are so many money saving apps available that I thought I'd share with you a few of my favourite money saving apps today and I hope that in return, you might share one or two of your favourite apps with me....

Pipe cleaner crowns….
OK, so we know that I'm not the craftiest blogger around but we did make some pretty pipe cleaner crowns this weekend that I thought you might like to see....We used glitter pipe cleaners from Tesco because we wanted some sparkle as our crowns were for the Race for Life last Sunday (although we ended up leaving them in the car). They were £1.25 a pack and lots of the crafty stuff is on 3 for 4 or something like that so I bought a couple of packs and some coloured paper as well.You can't go far wrong if you start by making the band that goes around your head and then, once you've … [Read more...]
Here’s my secret to organising family life….
I don't know about you but life can be chaotic around here sometimes!Take this coming week for example, I have to remember some important work meetings, what shifts Mr Frugal is working, the early finish and the non uniform day for Miss Frugal, a family fun day that needs cakes, raffle prizes and money for Master Frugal, numerous after school clubs, a lunch date with a friend and a dentists appointment for the kids. Oh, and an appointment for the dog with the groomers.Granted, next week is slightly busier than normal but even a normal week required more juggling than a clown to make … [Read more...]
My Week {28th June 2015}….
I do love blogging, I really do. But sometimes I get caught up in it all and forget the one reason why I started blogging. You see, I didn't start blogging for all you lovely readers (although you're an amazing added bonus) and I didn't start blogging to make money or to be the best.I started blogging to keep a diary of sorts about the things we get up to as a family because it's more important to me than I can explain in a sentence that we have a record of our happy memories. But lately, we've made memories that I haven't shared on here because I didn't think the things we've done would … [Read more...]
Time Traveller – Disneyland Paris 2009….
This week I'm joining in with Marianne and her fantastic Time Traveller linky and I'm going to share one of our pre-blog holidays with you. We used to travel quite a lot when the kids were younger and even more so before we had them as I was a travel agent when I was younger and we took full advantage of the holiday freebies I was offered.I've got boxes of holiday photos in the garage and Miss Frugal and I often like to sit and look through them and there's so many that I could have chosen to share today but I chose this one because it's my happiest holiday memory. Disneyland Paris … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {26th June 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. We finally cancelled Sky TV! A few weeks ago Virgin Media installed the fibre optic broadband in our street finally and we got some quotes which would save us money as well as give us much better broadband but we've been waiting for the man to pop around to sort it. He came earlier in the week and we're all good to go with an installation date of 11 July so we've cancelled Sky and BT finally.I had a dreadful experience with Sky which led me to complain on Twitter but their Social team arranged for someone to call me and a lovely lady rang and … [Read more...]
