My Week {12th July 2015}….
This last week has been the busiest week I can remember in a long time!Here's the highlights.... Tuesday Master Frugal's school had an open afternoon on Tuesday where parents were invited to go in and spend some time with the children at school.

Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {10th July 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. We went to the car boot sale last weekend to try and find some tennis rackets for the kids to play Tennis with over the Summer.

We also bought some badminton rackets from a couple of different stall holders and ended up paying … [Read more...]

Last year was a bit different for us though as we tried to have a bit of a lazy Summer which meant that, although we … [Read more...]
