Living the good life on a budget.
Happy Sunday! Are you doing anything much today? I don’t think we will be, to be honest. In last weekend’s post I mentioned about Frugal Toddler having a horrible sickness bug. Well, on Sunday after Frugal Baby started with it, and at the beginning of the week both Mr FC and I caught it too….
Advertorial post with Aviva. There are lots of things you can do to improve your finances; I talk often to people about saving more money, budgeting, tracking their spending and generally being more interesting in their finances. In case you haven’t noticed, I love talking about money. I think that more people should be…
Happy Sunday! Are you doing anything today? It’s been a strange week for us I feel, culminating in Frugal Toddler having a horrendous sickness bug this weekend which has totally floored him. It started on Friday night quite suddenly and it has meant that our weekend has been spent at home. Not that that’s a…
*ETA: I’ve now got my first product in the shop here! I have uploaded my February 2019 Budget Planner as a PDF download; this is the one product I am using that is helping me consistently win at budgeting and feel more and more in control of our finances. Have a look here! So,…

This post signifies the end of my third full year of investing. I can’t believe I’ve been able to write these updates for so long! I have been debating whether to change the frequency of these updates, but as I believe strongly in creating this second income stream, I shall continue for now. Do you…
Hello January! The start of a new year always brings renewed hope and promise. I love not knowing where the year is going to take us. January should be relatively quiet for The Frugal Cottage household. Although Frugal Toddler is going to have the best time – he’s going to Center Parcs during the month…
Hello 2019! And a happy new year to you all. I always like the start of a new year; full of optimism for the year ahead. The unknown of what’s in store for everyone in the next twelve months, plus lots of new experiences to enjoy and memories to treasure forever. I am loving being a…
So, another year is over. And what a year it has been! The main change for us this year has been adapting to being a family of four, as Frugal Baby arrived at the end of 2017. Both boys have changed so much in 12 months and it’s lovely to see the bond between them…
