Save on the cost of medication with the NHS Minor Ailments Scheme….
I know that I've mentioned the NHS Minor Ailments Scheme briefly in the past but over the last week or so I've seen lots of people on social media talking about it and sharing posts relating to it. Almost every single time it's shared, someone comments to say they've never heard of it and how they want to find out more so I thought it would be worth revisiting it again today. What is the Minor Ailments Scheme Basically, the Minor Ailment Scheme is an NHS service for people who don't pay prescription charges which would include all children and people on certain benefits and with specific … [Read more...]
I have clearly failed as a parent….
I try and teach my children about how to be financially responsible and I until yesterday, I was secretly a little bit smug about how well I was doing.After all, Miss Frugal has a debit card and manages her money really well and Master Frugal does a great job of saving his weekly pocket money for something he really wants rather than wasting it.But then yesterday, Master Frugal said something that completely wiped the smug smile off my face (and also made me laugh that hard that I nearly spat my drink out, but's that's not the point).

When they were younger we used to make a wish … [Read more...]
Siblings – May 2015
I've just had a look back through the blog and I don't think I've done a Siblings post since the end of last year - surprising because it used to be my favourite linky and I used to look forward to writing my Siblings post every single month.There's a couple of reasons why I haven't been joining in over the last few months - the first I can do something about and the second not so much.The first reason is because I've been taking less photos which has meant that I haven't had many great photos of them both together to share with you. It hasn't been intentional, in fact I think it's … [Read more...]
