Living the good life on a budget.
Another month over, already! February seems to have flown by, as did January, and it doesn’t seem like it’ll be long until I’m back at work and the Frugal Baby will have new routines to learn and get used to. What has been lovely this month is that we’ve been on our first family holiday….
Happy Sunday everyone! I have taken a somewhat unplanned break from The Frugal Cottage.

Hello February! It’s a quiet month for us for the main part, although we are going away for a week at the end of the month – our first family holiday! We’re going to Center Parcs for the week, which I’m really looking forward to. We’re in self catering so we should be able to…
The first month of 2016 seems to have flown by; it doesn’t seem two minutes since it was Christmas and now it’s the end of January already! January has been relatively quiet for us in the Frugal Cottage household; nothing much as happened and we’ve just been spending quality time with the Frugal Baby. January…
