FIVE FABULOUSLY THINGS I’VE DONE LINKY

November 10, 2017 by EmmaB 3 Comments

As Friday rolls around once again, it is time to be reflective and look at how I have spent this week. I have actually been having a big internal debate with myself as Dylan (who rarely asks for anything) has asked for a £200 jumper and I am torn between buying it or not.  Would you spend that on a jumper for an almost 14 year old?

FIVE FABULOUSLY THINGS I’VE DONE

Last Friday was a bit of a whirlwind.  Blogging often throws up these crazy opportunities that I seize with both hands. After writing the post on Reverse Advent Calendars we were invited up to Manchester to be on BBCBreakfast.  We kept it real by eating a train picnic rather than paying onboard prices!

  • Next, I started writing lists for Christmas. I love a list and I find this is what keeps me on track for managing my spending.
  • I have published the first of my teen gift guides.  I have published the girls guide with the boys guide set to go live on Monday.  These are being featured in Emma and 3 and you can see it here: Gift Ideas for Teenage Girls.
  • Compiling an Amazon wish list ahead of Black Friday is preparing me for if any of the things I want to become reduced.  At this time of year, I always wait for the shops and online stores to have reduction days.  My favourites always include Amazon and Debenhams.

We’d love you to join in with us by sharing what frugal and thrifty things you’ve been up to this week. Whether it’s an Instagram picture (#5frugalthings), a blog post or even a video. Just add your link to the linky at the bottom of this post. You don’t have to share five things you’ve done, anything thrifty or frugal that you’ve been doing is perfect.
We’d like to make this a great little community linky so it would be brilliant if you could comment on a couple of the other blog posts linked up. We’ll make sure that we comment on all posts and if you have a Pinterest friendly image then we’ll Pin your post to one of our boards too.

You’re more than welcome to copy and paste the badge above but it would be even better if you could let your readers know that you’re linking up with us by adding a little line to the bottom of your post like this one:
I’m linking up with Cass, Emma and Becky in this week’s ‘Five Fabulously Frugal things I’ve done this week linky.

    Hey, well done on the BBC Breakfast appearance, how exciting! As for £200 on a jumper… well, I can’t say I’ve spent that on myself, so my 13yr old would have to get in line 😀

    Congratulations on the TV appearance. There’s no way I’d pay £200 for a jumper for anyone – or even a coat! I won’t even buy my kids a Superdry jumper unless it’s birthday/ Christmas or they’re on offer. My son wants a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and he knows he has to pay over half of the cost himself, which he is happy with.

    Hi Emma,

    congratulations on all you’re doing including the Beeb. On the jumper question, I’m with the other guys and I thinks its important for people (not just kids) to understand value for money. Tell him if he washes & valets your car twenty times you’ll buy it 😉
