Cardboard and Kids - Fabulously Frugal 15 Feb 2015

How many times have you gifted something only to find that the child was more enamoured about the packaging?  I have long since learned that kids love cardboard,  There were some fab post including cardboard in last weeks linky including this fab camera by Molly Moo.  What child wouldn't want to receive this or even make it then play with it.



Our new co host certainly knows the power of a cardboard box, so take a look at her post here Four ways to entertain kids with a cardboard box.



Last weeks Fabulously Frugal linky was great and we were delighted with the number of people joining in, but we want more!

Please take a look at my fab hosts and their posts, Cass at Dairy of a Frugal FamilyMum in the Mad House and out two new Hosts Emma at Mum's Savvy Savings and Becca from Bare Feet of the Dashboard who are going to help us make this linky bigger and better.

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab. So in conjunction with Ecoforce I have a year's supply of green cleaning and washing up wonder products worth £50 comprising the following: EcoForce Peg Basket x 1 EcoForce Clothes Line x1 EcoForce Pegs x 2 packs Several of each of: EcoForce sponges, scourers, cloths, duster and bag grips Dishmatic Dishmatic Refills x
