Bored jars are so last year, this years new thing here in the frugal house is our homemade Fidget Spinner Boredom Buster!Sometimes I think that the reason children are so easily bored these days is because they have so many things to choose from when they’re thinking of something to do.I sound like an antique when I say that don’t I? I just think that sometimes having too much choice makes it harder to make a decision.That’s why I always used our bored jar when the kids were younger and later, when they were older we switched to our bored jar fit for a tween. These days … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {18th August 2017}….
1) I've been after some houseplants for a while now, nothing fancy, just something small to go on my kitchen windowsill. I don't have a great record with plants to be honest though so I really didn't want to pay too much but at the same time I wanted something that would look nice - I don't want much, do I?I found two little plants at Tesco last week though in the reduced section. They were clearly in the reduced section because they looked past the point of saving but at 25p each, I thought I'd buy them and see if I could bring them back from the dead. I decided it was highly unlikely but … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did in the Isle of Wight {11th August 2017}….
Last week we had a week away in the Isle of Wight where, despite the rain and the wind which was ridiculous at times, we had an amazing week. I actually wrote this while we were there (we came home last weekend) and intended to share it with you last Friday but the wifi was so bad that I didn't manage to post it so I hope you're OK with this week's five frugal things being a week behind....1) We’ve only eaten out once as we’ve made full use of the caravan’s teeny tiny kitchen. It’s not easy cooking for five in a small, not very well equipped caravan kitchen but we’ve tried our best and … [Read more...]

So I set myself a … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {28th July 2017}….
1) We're have a lovely first week of the Summer holidays and have managed to get by without spending much money at all. I've been working until 3.30 each day but the kids have done various things like trampolining and swimming with friends while I've been out and we've had some chill out time together when I've been home as we were all exhausted. We've had so much going on and I just need a break really so walks to the beach on a night have been just what we've needed!2) I've had a look at the kids school uniforms and short of two Summer Holiday growth spurts I think we'll be OK to … [Read more...]
Streak Free Homemade Window Cleaner….
I'm sharing my streak free homemade window cleaner with you today and although it doesn't make window cleaning any more enjoyable, it does smell nice and is cheaper than the shop bought versions.Some of my most popular posts over the last 12 months have been my homemade cleaning spray, my homemade febreze and my lovely smelling homemade room spray so it seems that I'm not the only one who would rather use chemical free products around the home. ;-)Today I thought I'd share with you my streak free homemade window cleaner although I'm going to hold my hands up and admit … [Read more...]
