Living the good life on a budget.
So, I am trying to find other things to do that are more creative at home when I know we’ll be here a little longer yet. To try and get my boys talking about something other than dinosaurs and Paw Patrol, I have got this unicorn colouring page for them to do instead. Anything for…
It’s time for another craft related item in our household. We have already coloured in a thank you bin men poster it’s got ruined so I thought I’d make a different one. After all, saying thank you to bin men and other key workers at the moment seems so important. I say this as Mr…
This peanut butter banana bread is the perfect thing to have with a cup of tea. In fact, I’d say that if you are a peanut butter fan, then you have to try this! It is a firm favourite in our house; I try and hide it so that it doesn’t disappear quickly but it…
Another dividend income report! One of my favourite posts to write here 🙂 I do know that my dividend income will be very different to last years, because of the recent cuts to various holdings.

Six years of blogging, huh!? That’s correct – The Frugal Cottage turned 6 on Monday. It’s such a weird thing; this is the longest I have stuck with anything – apart from learning to play the piano – ever. Something that started off as a small side line has turned into a huge passion of…

Goodbye May! Another strange month, done. It has gone by so quickly, but not at the same time? I have been at home for two months now. It is only in the last week where I have ventured for some walks out in the countryside where we haven’t seen anyone. It is actually a little…
This is one of our big aims so I thought I would share how to pay off your mortgage early. One of the biggest monthly expenses for most houses is a mortgage payment. Imagine if that was gone; how much more room in your budget you would have for other things?! There are certain steps…
Happy Monday! So I’m back again talking about my favourite topic – building a dividend income stream. This time, it is all about the numbers. How I am building that £1,000 a month dividend income stream which will support us when we reach our early retirement goal. Building this passive income stream will help us…
Happy weekend! Have you had a good week? I know this is a weekend edition but I’ll be honest, all the days seem the same at the moment. As there’s no difference between weekend and weekday, it can be tricky to know what day it is. I also feel like I’m getting more and more…
