Travelling In Style With The Vauxhall Crossland X
A couple of weeks ago, before I headed back to work after maternity leave, our family plus my parents went on a week’s holiday to the Lake District. We booked a self-catering cottage with plenty of room for us all, plus some lovely views over Coniston Water. The drive to the Lakes from where…
Dividend Income June 2018
Hello June! And time again for me to talk about one of my all-time favourite topics; dividend income. I’ll be honest, I sometimes wish that the process was going slightly quicker, than the income we’re receiving was slightly higher.

Hello July! We are now officially over half way of 2018 – how is that possible?! And this is a day later than normal, due to my site being in maintenance mode over the weekend. And that is because I have a new site design! I’m so pleased with it. I started The Frugal Cottage…
Life Update #19

You Need To Find Your Why
I couldn’t think of a better title for this, though it sums the post up fairly bluntly. It’s something I have been pondering lately. About what I would love to happen to us, as a family. And where we might be in say, 5 years time. I think that thinking long term is important,…
Why I Got Rid Of 85% Of My Clothes
I’ll be honest, this post has been a long time coming. Months on end, I put about sorting out my clothes and selling them on ebay. That was an item on my month aims for ages! But, something was holding me back. And honestly, it wasn’t just a time thing, though that was a good…
