Living the good life on a budget.
Happy Sunday! How has your week been? We’ve had a lovely week, as we have been for a family holiday at Center Parcs with my parents. I love it there; it’s so peaceful being in the forest and with the wildlife. Both boys have had such a great time and the eldest one cried when…
Happy Sunday! Have you had a good week? I’ll be honest, this week has been incredibly stressful and didn’t finish particularly well, so I’m glad it is over. In fact, with all the building work going on, it feels like we’re not going to get back to normal for a long time. It is progressing…
Another month is over already, so it’s time for my favourite monthly post My dividend income updates are some of my most popular posts here at The Frugal Cottage. And this is my fourth year of dividend investing, already. I can’t believe it! And one of the only things I regret is not starting sooner. If…
Hello April! Finally, a new month. I know you’re not supposed to wish your life away but I’m so glad March is over. It was incredibly stressful for multiple reasons and I’m just glad it’s finished with. April must be better, I am sure of it. For a start, we’re going on holiday for five…
Goodbye March! It’s been a very strange month and that shows in my posting schedule during March; I really haven’t managed to get as much content as I’d normally like. I have had a stressful time at work recently which has totally wiped me of my energy. I have also had an asthmatic flare up…
I have been thinking more and more about our impact on the environment and how eco-friendly we are. About how we are great at recycling but perhaps there should be less to recycle in the first place. Following all of the things in the news recently about the amount of plastic in our oceans and…
Happy Friday! Have you had a good week? I think this week has absolutely flown by, mainly due to the fact that our building work has finally started. I’ll be honest, I have been very anxious about the building work starting. It will be worth it in the end – so worth it –…
In preparation for our building work (which starts today, eek!) we have been doing some decluttering. For a family of four who I thought didn’t buy very much, we have a lot of stuff. Things that we haven’t looked at in years. Paper work that I don’t know why we’ve kept for so long. Lots…
Another month is over already, so it’s time for my favourite monthly post 🙂 My dividend income updates are some of my most popular posts here at The Frugal Cottage. And this is my fourth year of dividend investing, already. I can’t believe it! And one of the only things I regret is not starting…
Happy Sunday! Are you having a good weekend? I have got a cold so feeling a bit sorry for myself. It’s not so easy to rest when you have children running around. Now that they can both walk, it’s slightly more chaotic in our house. And more fun 🙂 Frugal Baby can’t quite run yet,…
