Black Friday Deals – The Dangers Of A Deal!

November 23, 2018

Well, Black Friday has arrived. It began in America, as it’s the day after Thanksgiving, but it seems to be bigger and bigger in the UK each year too. Are you planning on shopping the Black Friday deals today? I wrote a post two years ago about how I wasn’t going to take part, apart…

Why You Should Try And Shop Small This Christmas

November 20, 2018

I have been thinking a lot lately about the amount of things in our house. This mainly revolves around the amount of toys our two boys have, most that are big, plastic and noisy. That can’t be just our house, surely?! Add the fact that Frugal Baby has a birthday in December, means that we…

The Weekend Edition #74

November 18, 2018

I haven’t done a Weekend Edition post in ages so I thought, as I’ve got 5 minutes to myself, I would write one! The last one I posted was back in June and we were away with my parents in the Lake District. That seems like so long ago now! Me and the boys are…

November 13, 2018

The last time I did a Life Update post, it was the beginning of the summer holidays and lots of family time planned. That seems like a lifetime ago! Things seem to change a lot around here, though I suppose with two young children that’s bound to be the case.   Firstly, Frugal Baby is…

November 9, 2018

Last year, the UK money bloggers grouped together and decided to do a challenge called the reverse food advent challenge. The idea behind this is so straight forward. A normal advent calendar gives you something every morning. Normally chocolate, though there are so adult ones now containing fancy body stuff, or even gin! But, in a…

Dividend Income October 2018 - The Frugal Cottage | income | investing | money | finances | financial freedom | money saving

How are we in November already?! Frugal Baby is 1 next month – I am so not ready for that milestone already. And Christmas is just around the corner and we are not organised; I haven’t bought one Christmas present yet for anyone, which is unlike me. I feel like the end of the year…

November Aims

November 1, 2018

Hello November! I cannot believe we’re in the penultimate month of 2018 already. Frugal Baby will be 1 next month – where has that time gone?! However, the last months of the year are my favourite; there is nothing I like more than snuggling on the sofa under a fleecy throw watching something on the…

October 2018 – A Month In Review

October 31, 2018

October has been such a strange month. Firstly, it seems to have gone on for ages! Does anyone else feel that? Frugal Toddler continues to love nursery full time. He must have fun each day as he comes home shattered and usually covered in either paint, sand, or water so it’s obvious he’s had a…

I don’t normally do posts like this, but I am in a bit of a quandary so I thought I would ask my lovely readers what you would do in the same situation.   As part of our long term plans, including financial freedom and early retirement, we are aiming to be mortgage free at…
