I've said this before and I'll probably say it again but I am NOT a creative person.It's not that I don't try though - it just seems like the harder I try to make something pretty, the worse the end result is. It's like I got missed out when they were giving out the creative genes (I also missed out on the cooking genes and the green finger genes but hey ho) and things more often than not turn out looking very different to how I pictured it in my head before I started.But before I show you this week's crafting fail, I would like to point out that Miss Frugal and I often do a little … [Read more...]

Create your own personalised family travel map….
Miss Frugal has definitely caught the travel bug after our little break away to Cyprus recently! She seems to have developed a real love of travelling and visiting new places, something I want to encourage in both of my children because it's so important for them to learn about the world around us.She's started her own little travel journal to record the places that we've already been and she's been asking me for one of those personalised family travel map you can get where you scratch off the places you've been (like these). Rather than buy one of those for her, I bought a small … [Read more...]

It goes without saying that I love my family and I wouldn't change anything about them as people but there are little habits that they have that I most definitely would change!I wish they'd learn not to put the hamsters in the bath when they're cleaning their cages - the last thing I want to see during a relaxing bath is a hamster poo floating past my face.Speaking of baths, as much as I love talking to them about their days, I'd love the occasional bath in peace where it's just me, some bubbles and a magazine!I wish that someone in the family other than me would realise … [Read more...]

Review: Shark Vacuum Cleaner with Lift Away
I almost said no when we were asked if we'd like to review a Shark Vacuum Cleaner about a month ago as we were perfectly happy with the hoover we already had and I was convinced that the Shark wouldn't be as good as the one we already had. I changed my mind when I read the amazing reviews on Amazon as it's rare to see so many 5* reviews for a product and I wanted to have a go of this amazing vacuum cleaner that was wowing almost everyone who tried it (if the reviews were to be believed that is).I was really looking forward to trying it so when it arrived I didn't wait for Mr Frugal to … [Read more...]
