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...]
26 super simple ideas to help you spend less money!
In my head there's a difference between saving money and spending less even though I know they both really equate to the same thing.Saving money is easy, it really is! I've written a post about my top 50 ways to save money and if you have a look then you'll see that lots of them don't even involve you cutting back or doing without in any way. A quick phone call here and a change of suppliers there and you're saving money without any sacrifice on your part which is the best way if you ask me.Spending less is a bit different to me because it often means me seeing something I want ( … [Read more...]
Amazing two ingredient homemade makeup brush cleaner….
According to Miss Frugal, it's a miracle that I've got to the age I have without realising the importance of makeup brushes. Who knew that the little applicators that you get with eyeshadow palettes are practically useless? Or that if you really want seamless foundation then you need to use a weird shaped sponge AND a foundation brush?If you're still as yet blissfully unaware of the need for a whole collection of makeup brushes then feel free to just skip this post. Or you could always buy yourself a set of nice makeup brushes (this is Miss Frugal's favourite brand) so you can try them … [Read more...]
10 things I would change about my family….
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...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {17th June 2016}….
1) When I cleared out Master Frugal's room this week I realised that there was a huge amount of Lego that he never played with any more plus various other toys from other the years. I made some of it into a pen pot holder to go on his desk and I'm so pleased with it. It was really easy to make - I just used a small flat Lego board from one of his kits and built up around it to the height I wanted which turned out to be 12 layers.2) We made our own Fathers Day cards using nothing but paper and sharpies - no special equipment or talent needed here. I can't reveal them before the big … [Read more...]
A tween boys bedroom makeover on a budget
Master Frugal isn't a fan of upheaval so for the last six months or so when I've been itching to get in his bedroom and give it a makeover, he's been begging me not to!It desperately needed doing though so as his coach pulled away on Monday morning for his three day school residential, I was practically racing back to my car to get started on gutting his bedroom with the plan achieving of a complete room transformation before he got home - on a pretty tight budget!Before: One wall looks worse than the rest as it had a huge self adhesive Avengers mural (here's what it looked like … [Read more...]
