Living the good life on a budget.
Hello November! The one thing I can keep thinking of as I think about it being November, is that I’m due next month – eek! Time seems to be absolutely flying by now. I leave for maternity leave at the end of the month. I get to spend some quality time with Frugal Baby #1…
Hello October! I am so looking forward to the cooler months. Snuggling up on the sofa watching films. Hot chocolates in an evening. Cosy jumpers and blankets. I can’t wait for the darker evenings 🙂 We have a couple of family events on during October. My cousin is getting married at the start of…
Hello September! As much as I sound like a cliche, I love the colder months. I’m looking forward to jumper weather! Although, as August weather-wise was so poor, I’m hoping that September is better. Only so that me and Frugal Baby can get out and do some things whilst we can. Talking of Frugal…
Hello August! Is it just me, or is 2017 going really quickly? How is it the eighth month of the year already?! August is always a good month as I’m off work 🙂 I work in education so August is always the summer holidays in the UK. Hopefully the weather will be good and me…
Hello July! After being able to share our lovely news in June, I’m looking forward to July. Mr FC has got a week off in July and then I’m off at the end of the month too, so it should be nice and relaxing. If the weather is nice, then we’ll be able to get outside…
Hello June! Here’s hoping that June will be more positive than the previous two months have been.  I feel much more positive about the start of the month already. I have been looking at my budget. Thinking about what I need to improve on. Feeling very determined and focused on things that need to be done….
Hello May! I am so glad that April is behind us and May is here. I feel much more positive about the start of the month. I have been looking at my budget. Thinking about what I need to improve on. Feeling very determined. The sunshine has definitely helped that, I’m sure. As the year…
Hello April! I’m looking forward to a new month. The past two months have been quite tough for us as a household. I’m hoping that April proves to be much more positive. I hope that the weather gets a bit warmer in April too! I’m looking forward to getting out with Frugal Baby and enjoying…
Hello March! This post is slightly later than normal, due to the events that have happened over the past week. Frugal Baby took ill on Tuesday evening and we’ve been in and out of hospital with him ever since. Hopefully, he is now slowly on the mend. But, as you can imagine, a tough few days….
Hello February! I can’t believe that we are already into the second month of the year. January flew by, so as February is a shorter month, I’m sure it will too. February should be relatively quiet for The Frugal Cottage household. We have got a couple of family days out planned which should be lovely. Other than…
