Do you ever get working parents guilt during the school holidays? Today's post is all about how you can survive the Summer Holidays as a working parent!I first published this post about three years ago but after seeing a couple of posts on Social Media this week about the Mum guilt some people are feeling I thought I'd share it again. My two are 19 and 17 now so whilst I do absolutely understand the Mum guilt and also the feeling of counting down the days until they're back at school at times, I encourage you to make the most of every minute as you'll miss these days in a couple … [Read more...]

How to furnish your home on a budget…
Whether you're a first time owner or renter or you're starting from scratch with very little in the way of furniture then you'll find these tips on how to furnish your home on a budget useful!We knew for a while that Miss Frugal was going to move out but it took us a while to find the right place for the right price and when we did, it literally happened so fast that she viewed it on a Friday and was moving in the next Thursday so we didn't have much time to actually do prepare much when it came to actually furnishing it.We'd been getting ready with the smaller things for months … [Read more...]
Six ways to save money on reading….
Today's post is all about how you can save money on reading - something I've mastered over the years as I am a huge reader and am never far from a book.I love to read! It's my escape from real life when I need a break, my way to switch off when I want to relax and the best way to clear my mind on a night before I go to sleep. I have a Kindle e-reader which is always filled with nice easy reading books - and by easy reading, I don't mean books with no big words and lots of pictures, I mean books that don't need much brainpower and that always have a happy ending. … [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.

How to sell on Vinted….
If you're interested in learning how to sell on Vinted and make some money then this is the post you need in your life...I'm a big fan of selling on the Facebook marketplace as it's so easy. Anyone who's tried it will know that you just snap a couple of pics on your phone, add a description and a price and you're good to go - no postage, no fees, no hassle.I've sold loads on there in the past and never had any issues but I will say that it's not great for smaller items like shoes, clothes, and bags so most things that fall into this category would usually go into the car boot … [Read more...]
How much does it cost to pass your driving test…
How much does it cost to pass your driving test? Good question...When Miss Frugal turned 17, the only thing she asked for as a Birthday present was her Provisional Driving Licence so she could start learning to drive as soon as she possibly could. She was super keen and determined to pass her test as soon as she could.She had to wait a while to get in with the instructor she wanted to learn with and by the time she got going, she only managed about five week's worth of lessons before the world went a bit mad and everything had to be put on hold. Once we realised that … [Read more...]
