OK, I'm not sure how this has happened but it looks like I've never shared my super easy banana pancakes recipe with you! Obviously, I'm going to put that right today but I should warn you that the photos aren't the greatest as they're actually stills taken from a Tik Tok video I was making yesterday.I decided to have a go at making a Tik Tok video yesterday morning and because I had no clue what I was doing and didn't have anyone around to help hold my phone, I knew I was going to have to cook whatever recipe I chose with just one hand so I picked the simplest recipe that I … [Read more...]

My Kindle Unlimited Subscription is one of the best things I've ever signed up for and I keep saying I'm going to dedicate a whole post to it and today, I'm finally getting around to it!Every now and again, in one of my weekly five frugal things posts or on Instagram, I share how I've filled my Kindle up with a stack of new books and every time, I get at least a couple of emails or DMs asking me how it works so much so I'm going to pop everything into this post so I can just share the link to that.

How to track your monthly expenses….
Today I'm going to give you some ideas on how to track your monthly expenses which is something we all should (but often don't) do in one way or another.I've been blogging for a long time now (I'm a blogging pensioner pretty much) and I must have said how important it is to track your monthly expenses at least once a month because how can you know where you need to cut back and where you can afford to spend a little more if you don't know where you're at right now! It's also the only foolproof way to know exactly where your money is going every month so when you get to the end of … [Read more...]
How to get an NUS Card 2021 (and why you need one)….
This week, we've been applying for the kids' NUS cards which is now called TOTUM membership. It was pretty easy to do so I thought I'd share how to get an NUS card if your children are at college or uni age like my two are now.When Miss Frugal first started college, the first thing she did was get her NUS card so she could start to benefit from all the discounts that are available and over the last couple of years, she's probably saved a fortune. Shops like New Look and Topshop were here favourite places to shop so the 10% off that they gave her was super welcome. The NUS card has … [Read more...]
Thrifty Avocado and Banana Hair Mask….
I'm sure I've mentioned this before but Miss Frugal is a Pinterest and YouTube fiend! She loves to find DIY ideas for us to try out at home and although some of them turn out to be total fails, some turn out really well and we end up doing them again.This thrifty avocado and banana hair mask started out as one of her Pinterest finds and is now something we make regularly although we only ever make it with avocados that we find reduced as it wouldn't be too thrifty if we used a full price avocado! We also try and use the most battered looking banana in the fruit bowl too although I admit … [Read more...]

These Bored jars could well save your sanity this Summer!Sick of hearing the kids say 'I'm bored'? Had enough of them playing on electronics all day? Going loopy at the thought of having to entertain them for another day?Well, this post could be just what you need!I've written about bored jars a few times over the years since I started blogging and last week, I realised that I had one that was appropriate for pretty much any child from a tot to a teenager. It's because I've relied on them so much as my children were growing up because I can't stand hearing … [Read more...]
