This morning I sat down in Miss Frugal's bedroom and realised just how much 'stuff' she had and how little space she had to store it all!So while Mr Frugal was snoring away in bed, I was on the iPad trying to find the answer to our problems!By the time he woke up, I was all sorted and ready to get on with it! I found some great shelves in Ikea but didn't fancy the hour's drive each way to get them so I ended up getting two cheap cube-style units from Argos to stick on top of each other next to her desk. We also bought some cheap but pretty white storage boxes from Morrisons for £1.50 … [Read more...]
Where I live – Indoors….
I love where my house but I've been thinking for a while that it's in need of a style makeover due to the builders love of magnolia and my lack of decorating since we moved in. So, when I read a post by Michelle from The American Resident about some of the treasures in her home I was pretty sure that I wouldn't have much to write about from my home.But then I saw lots of other bloggers joining in and posting about their homes. My inner nosey person was in her element and had such a good time looking at the posts and seeing what other peoples houses were like and I really wanted to join … [Read more...]
Budget Bathroom Makeover….
None of the rooms in my house need a major makeover as it's only a few years old but what it does need is an injection of colour!When we bought the house it was new and almost completely magnolia - which we weren't keen on but because there was nothing that actually needed doing, we just never got around to doing until the last year or so. It's slow going though as its hard to spend money on something that's OK as it is just because you think it's boring!So when I was asked to by Money Supermarket to makeover a room in our house for £50.00 (which they provided), I jumped at … [Read more...]
Which pink do you think….
On Saturday we've lived in our house for four years and although I'm gradually starting to get sorted, it's still very magnolia. I have no idea where the time has gone but I'm determined not to start another new year with decorate the house being one of my New Year Resolutions!The children's bedrooms were the first rooms we decorated when we moved in as we wanted them to be comfortable in their new bedrooms. I really think it's important that children have input into their own spaces so Master Frugal's room had an alien / sky at night vibe going on and Miss Frugal's was very a very girly … [Read more...]
Scandal at the Boot Sale….
I love having a wander around the car boot sale on a Sunday afternoon but yesterday I was quite shocked by something that I saw, perhaps naively so. I was stood at a stall with Miss Frugal when someone pointed out to the stallholder that a lady was filling a carrier bag with items off the bonnet of her car. The stallholder shouted at the lady who was moving away at this point and ended up running after her and grabbing the lady's bags off her. They both started shouting and the 'thief' said she had just forgot to pay! After a bit of a tussle the stallholder grabbed the lady's bags and … [Read more...]
Home is Where the Heart is….
Although I'm not usually a superstitious person, I'm convinced that our last house was jinxed. From the day we heard that our offer had been accepted until when we moved out it felt like bad things kept happening to us. In fact, in the two years that we lived there, my brother died, my mam died, someone crashed into both of our cars and totalled them while they were parked outside, our roof leaked, we found mould in the kitchen that the survey hadn't picked up, the gas company refused to install gas so we couldn't get central heating (cue massive heating costs), a giant crack appeared in the … [Read more...]
