First of all, I apologise for the lack of photos of the making of this cake - Miss Frugal and I made this last Friday night for Master Frugal's birthday and we had absolutely no faith that it was going to be anything worth blogging about so we didn't take the usual million and one photos of every stage of the process ;-)It did work though (if you ignore the leaning tower of Pisa effect) so I thought I'd share it with you anyway, however, I will say up front that this isn't a particularly frugal cake to make as it involves large quantities of the ingredients and the different food … [Read more...]
Who doesn’t love a Post-it note….
As you may already know, I'm a bit of a stationery-holic and I love anything stationery related! Miss Frugal is following in my footsteps and has *almost* as much stationery as I have - she even has a drawer just for her notepads!Earlier this week when we opened an envelope filled with post-it pads, I'm actually not sure who squealed the loudest although Mr Frugal assures me that it was definitely me! The reason we received such an exciting (to us) delivery is because I've been asked to take part in a bit of a challenge to explore what the written word can mean to … [Read more...]
#EmbraceHappy – Me, Me, Me….
When I heard about the lovely Karin's idea of #EmbraceHappy I signed up straight away as it sounded like a great idea - finding happiness every day! Then I got busy and didn't really have the chance to join in as much as I'd like to but last weekend, I realised that I really do want to join in more because I think I need it. It's April already and between work, school and various bugs that we've all been suffering with, I don't feel like I've achieved very much this year and I certainly don't feel like I've had too much time to do the things that I want to do.So, April is … [Read more...]
Money Makeover – Save money while you drive….
This week's Money Makeover is all about saving money when you're out and about in your car. Personally, a large proportion of my budget is spent on my car as I have a 25 mile round trip to work each day so I need to know how to save as much money as possible to try and reduce that. First of all, make sure you're paying as little as possible for your car insurance. Look at the link at the bottom of this post for week four for the best way to do that.Next, make sure you have breakdown cover in place because if you do break down, it's going to cost a fortune to get … [Read more...]
A Classic Day out with the Family….
When I saw the Ugg Australia 'Classic Day Out' competition, I knew exactly what we would pick as a family as our favourite day out - a day at London Zoo!We love London Zoo, despite living at the opposite end of the country and I think we've been every year since we first visited about four years ago. We have a special reason to visit the zoo now as we adopted a monkey for Master Frugal last year for his Birthday so he likes to go along and make sure the keepers are doing a good job looking after his baby, Bounty. Last year when we were in the monkey section he found … [Read more...]
Five reasons why I love being a Mum….
I could sit here all day and tell you why I love being a Mum but I still wouldn't be able to tell you them all because there really are that many.
