    Half-Yearly Report

    June 29, 2025

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hola amigos! Been a crazy crazy few months – I know I have been slacking in regards to this blog dear readers, but strewth it’s been a whirlwind. Mainly to do with juggling two young ‘uns, the business and a whole raft of other bits and pieces which make this life oh so interesting. Finally have about 5 minutes to breathe, so Imma gonna punch out a short snappy post to try and catch you guys up (and also a bit of self-reflection). Given it is almost June 30, I’d thought it’s timely to post a half-yearly report with all the bells and whistles. Without further…

    Investing For The Kids

    April 28, 2025

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Strewth, just finished cleaning my daughters vomit. Yep, you read that right. Nothing says winning like an ol fashioned midnight cleaning job. Quick shower, change pillow, change bedsheets and FINALLY she’s down again. Unfortunately for me, all that excitement has got me all riled up, so why not punch out a blogpost? Funny thing is, whilst I was cleaning – I had a random thought. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been thinking about investing. You see, dear reader – last time out, I mentioned that we were going through some personal shit. That shit is still going on, and will for a while –…

    Catching Up

    April 8, 2025

    Reading Time: 4 Minutes Hello all, It’s been a couple of weeks between posts! Truth be told the hiatus is mainly because we are dealing with a few matters in our personal lives at the moment. But nothing, and I mean nothing stops this juggernaut of a blog. Even if judgement day comes, and woe is upon us – this blog and you dear reader, will be at the forefront of my mind. So gee… a lot of catching up to do in the last month or so aye? WHAT A WHIRLWIND IT HAS BEEN. I thought it be best to try and do a short blurb of every notable…

    There’s No Need To Rush

    February 24, 2025

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Over the weekend, I had an epiphany. It was when I was chasing MiniFrugalSamurai as he wandered off by himself (AGAIN). That boy really has something going on in his head. When he starts to feel bored, or decides to move onto the next task – he just ups and does it. Which is great in a classroom environment, not so great when he’s in a packed shopping centre and his parents can’t find him. One of these days I swear, he’ll go on a walk-about and FFS MrsFrugalSamurai and I will make front page news as negligent parents. Anyway, when I finally caught up to…

    New Year Predictions – 新年快乐!

    January 29, 2025

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hola senors and senoritas!!! Como estas? Estoy bien gracias! What’s that? It’s Chinese New Year? Oh shit. Um. 女士们先生们大家好!!! 大家都好吗? 我很好,谢谢! 新年快乐! For those of you who weren’t aware, today is Chinese New Year, one of the biggest days on the calendar in the Chinese culture. Why is it called Chinese New Year? I think it’s because it is the New Year celebrated by the Chinese. Oh and it’s also known as the Lunar New Year – something to do with the moon and the stars and handing out red pockets. It’s supposed to be a time for family reunions and removing bad luck to usher…
