Last night was the weekly UK Money Bloggers Twitter chat which was all about financial education. It was a really interesting discussion and I was overwhelmed by the number of people who joined in to share their thoughts. Financial education for our children is clearly an emotive subject as so many of you shared your thoughts with us and although you'll be able to read a full write up on the UK Money Bloggers site in the next day or so, I wanted to share with you today what my thoughts were on each of the questions.... Q1 Financial Education is part of the curriculum now but are we doing … [Read more...]

My can’t do without Blogging Tools….
People often ask me how I manage to fit in everything that I do blogging wise when it's not my full time job and usually when they do, I look at them and reply 'I just do' because I don't know what else to say. Maybe the fact that it's not my full time job and I'm not reliant on the income that blogging often brings helps me because I still get to do this for fun which means that I still love blogging but without the obligation as I don't feel pressure to earn money from it (although that's nice). It could also be because my children are a little older at 11 and 14 so on an evening when I … [Read more...]
My secret to writing our meal plan in half the time it used to take me….
What if I told you that I had a way that would help you half the time it takes you to meal plan every week? I bet that would interest even those of you who don't do meal planning, wouldn't it? Well, you're in luck because I have a new method of meal planning that took me an hour to set up before I started and it's really working for us! I've been trying it out for the last month or so and it's made it so much easier and quicker for me when I'm writing out our weekly meal plan that I thought I'd share it with you today. Your Initial One-Off Meal Planning Session Sit down with a notebook … [Read more...]
10 reasons you know you’re a blogger….
I was sitting at the table with the kids tonight about to start our Saturday night games night when the moon caught my eye. It looked beautiful and all I wanted to do was get outside and take photos of it but we were just about to play Rapidough and the kids had been looking forward to taking on me and Mr Frugal all day. I thought I was going to have to miss out on the photo taking until the perfect solution came to me. ;-) Five minutes later we were all in the car with the dog (and my camera) heading to the beach to take photos play football. Every now and again, I kicked the ball … [Read more...]
10 top tips to make going back to school easy….
We have one week left before the kids are back at school so our thoughts are turning to back to school preparations in the frugal house this week. I'm organised with school uniform (mostly) seeing as you have to buy a lot of it from the school directly but that's the easy part of going back to school if you ask me so I thought I'd share a few top tops on how to make going back to school as easy as possible for you and your children.... Get them back into a routine I've started waking my two up at 8.30 so the back to school early mornings next week won't be such a shock to the system … [Read more...]
3 cheap perfumes that smell like posh ones….
I don’t know about you but I’ve always been pretty loyal when it comes to perfume – I tend to wear Tommy Girl in the Summer and Gucci Rush in the Winter with a bit of Joe Malone Honey Blossom and Nectarine when my budget allows. Because of my fragrance brand loyalty, Mr Frugal has a pretty easy time as far as Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas presents go and I usually have a constant supply of my favourite perfumes. Miss Frugal, who’s recently discovered a love of perfume, doesn’t have the same brand loyalty when it comes to perfume and she smells different every day thanks to her ever … [Read more...]
