This cute baked doughnuts recipe is brought to you by Miss Frugal who's discovered a love of baking over the last couple of months. I've been trying to eat much healthier lately and one afternoon, I was upstairs working from home when the most amazing smell started to drift upstairs from the kitchen.  When I went to investigate what the smell was, my first thought was that our baking cupboard had exploded all over the counters. 😂It turned out that Miss Frugal had been busy making me some baked doughnuts as she knew I was trying to be healthy but wanted to make us … [Read more...]

This massage oil for sore muscles is just what you need to help relieve those aches and pains. It's super quick to make and really effective so do your muscles a favour and make a batch to have on standby.Until recently, I've never had a need for any kind of massage oil for sore muscles purely because I've never really done much to actually get sore muscles. 😂Then I got my exercise bike and really surprised myself by how much I enjoyed it and how much I could do on there. The first day I got it I did 6km but aside from a couple of days where I've been super busy, every day … [Read more...]

Opening a bank account for my 16-year-old was so easy that it took me longer to find his passport than it did to do the application!This afternoon, I helped Master Frugal open his own bank account with Monzo and it was so easy that I thought I'd share it with you because it was so much easier than I expected!(BTW - I'm not working with Monzo at all, I'll explain below why we picked Monzo over the other options 😂 )The first reason we chose Monzo was that they advertise an 'easy' online account opening process which was a big sell to me after the nightmare we had trying … [Read more...]

Today, I'm going to share Miss Frugal's easy baked oats recipe because so many of you messaged me over on Instagram when I shared a photo of it earlier this week.This easy baked oats recipe makes a brilliant meal prep breakfast as you can cook it the night before but it's also great for lunch or a snack too as we discovered this week.  Miss Frugal decided to make me a bit of a healthy snack when I was working one afternoon (she's a star encouraging me as I'm trying to be healthier) and it was so nice that me and both of the kids just grabbed a spoon and ate some from the bowl … [Read more...]

Did you see my last 'Facebook MADE me buy it' post?Basically, I realised a little while ago that I'm like an advertisers dream right now as I've bought things recently that I may not have even known existed if it hadn't been for Facebook and its advertising algorithms that somehow know what I want before I even know myself.(To be clear: none of these items are sponsored or gifted, they're all things that have genuinely appeared in my Newsfeed - usually numerous times before I give in!)Before I start telling you what I have bought, let me tell you what I haven't bought that I … [Read more...]

Today's post is all about the places you can cash in coins for free but before I do. that, let me tell you what inspired my post. 😂I was in my little Asda yesterday looking for Easter Eggs (which is a whole other story but the moral to that one is don't presume your 18-year-old won't want an Easter Egg just because she's 18) when I heard raised voices at the front of the shop. I have no clue what was going on but I did hear an angry man saying that he was going to come back and pay for his shopping using the contents of his copper jar. The lovely man in the shop handled him … [Read more...]
