Homemade hobnobs are going to revolutionise your life. Possibly. :-)Homemade hobnobs are literally my favourite biscuit in the world (unless you count chocolate chip cookies and jaffa cakes) and this recipe for them is one I've adapted over the years after a lovely friend shared it with me. It's so quick and easy to make that I often find myself making a batch while I'm waiting for tea to cook and when I do make them, they rarely last long at all as they're so popular. I'm sure I've shared them before in a five frugal things post but for those of you who … [Read more...]

My Weight Loss Journey – Week 1 {26th January 2019}….
Last Saturday morning, I took the plunge and joined my local Slimming World group and I thought there's no better way to hold myself accountable for sticking to it than by telling you lovely people. So, here's the story of the first (hopefully of many) weeks on my weight loss journey!I've been to Slimming World before a good few years ago and found it quite easy to lose weight following the plan which is by far the easiest 'diet' to follow that I've ever come across. I was doing quite well when I had a few health issues in 2016 which meant I needed an operation to put … [Read more...]
How to get FREE stuff with your Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant….
We all love something for nothing, don't we? Today I'm going to tell you how you can use your Amazon Alexa to get free things sent directly to your door!I mentioned this originally way back in September in one of my weekly five frugal things posts as I'd just been promised a sample of the new Baileys drink by Alexa. I was planning to tell you more about it when my freebie came but alas, it never arrived and I lost faith a little bit.But then I got a notification that there were free cans of Diet Coke (the Mango variety) available so I tried again and lo and behold, four little … [Read more...]
How we reduced our water comsumption….
Over the years, our water bill seems to have got progressively higher and I think I accepted the increases thinking that it was something I had little control over. Don't get me wrong, I did a few of the obvious things to reduce the water we use (no hosepipe use, only washing a full load, no dishwasher, water saving devices in the toilets are the main changes) but it never really made much of a difference to the amount we were charged on our bill so I just continued as we were and accepted that our bill was always going to be a bit higher than I would have liked it to be.Then … [Read more...]
Why you should ALWAYS trust your instincts as a parent….
I mentioned briefly in last Friday's five frugal things post that Master Frugal had suffered a concussion and wasn't doing too well but things took a nasty turn on Saturday so I thought I'd give you a bit of an update - more to keep my mind off things as I'm currently sat next to his bed in hospital while he sleeps and as we’re now on day 4 I am really, really bored as well as being super tired.So, last Thursday he tripped over his shoelaces at school and banged his head. He didn’t think much of it at the time but he started to feel sick at lunchtime and by the end of the school day he … [Read more...]
How much is too much when it comes to vet’s fees….
Our puppy Monty is an absolute menace and as much as I love him, there's no doubt that he's much harder work that our older dog, Buddy and so far, we've had more visits to the vets in his first 9 months or so with us than we've had in Buddy's 9 years!Just to give you some background, we have pet insurance where most things are covered but we do have to pay an excess on each claim. We haven't made a claim yet as all of our treatments have been below the cost of the excess so I wouldn't know how easy it is to actually make a claim.We also pay our vets £16 a month per dog which gives … [Read more...]
