Living the good life on a budget.
Happy Wednesday everyone! The end of August already; this month has absolutely flown by in the Frugal Cottage household. I have been lucky enough to have been off work for the entire month, and it has felt like I’m back on maternity leave with the Frugal Baby. August marked the month he turned one, and…
As I continue along the relatively new path of investing, I thought I should update my portfolio page on here and update my lovely readers about what I have been investing in lately. I am putting our hard earned cash into companies that will then pay me for owning a small part of their company. In…
Hello Monday! This marks the last full week of my holidays, which are seemingly flying over way too fast. It is always the same, that when you are not at work, the time goes by even more quickly than when you’re there. I have had a wonderful time at home with the Frugal Baby and…
I don’t know whether it’s the time of year, the fact that when the sun shines and I want to be outside, or whether I keep comparing myself to others, but I think that my motivation has definitely disappeared as of late. I tend to think of myself as someone who is quite motivated and…
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week, and are looking forward to the weekend 🙂 me and the Frugal Baby are off to a sensory play session at the library this afternoon for the first time, so it’ll be good to see what he makes of it. The tickets were only £2…
Another month and one in which I can write about earning money online – how exciting is that?! The numbers are small, but it’s another income stream that I am trying to build, slowly but surely. The summer months can be a bit slow on the blog, as I presume everyone is out enjoying the…
I get such a feeling of excitement whenever I check my stocks and shares ISA and see that I have received another dividend payment. And, as I have received more throughout July, it means I again have the opportunity here to talk about it! Just for owning a tiny part of a company and investing…
My favourite time of the month again – it’s time to update the Ultimate Dream Fund! It seems to come round faster and faster each time, but I’m not complaining. After a bit of a disappointing June, July has been much more positive and I’m very pleased with the progress this month. I think that investing…
I cannot believe it’s August already! I know they say that time goes faster the older you get, but this is ridiculous. Our little boy turns 1 on Sunday, and it truly has been the fastest year of my life so far. How have I got a 1 year old already?! We’re having a little…
Happy Sunday everyone 🙂 it’s the last day of July, how did that happen?! This year is absolutely flying by and our little boy will turn one next Sunday, which is so hard to believe. July has been a bit better in terms of the weather, and we’ve managed to get out and about a…
