Wow Sunday already and time to be fabulously frugal again. This week I want to talk about ways to improve your credit rating in collaboration with TSB Bank. Not a sexy topic, but one that most people will need at some point.

Your kids will love making music with this simple DIY Popsicle Stick Harmonica. They are so easy to make. Fab has sent us lots of lolly sticks to make into fun and creative designs, so we decided to have a go at making a lolly stick harmonica or a popsicle stick harmonica (depended on where in the world you are reading from)! These were so simple to make, but we have had hours experimenting with what sounds we can make and the boys with all their friends have made a band!
