There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day at the minute.I have so much to do but all I actually want to do is snuggle up on the settee and do nothing, especially since I bought myself a lovely new throw for the settee last night. How pretty is this?I have jobs to do round the house, blog posts to write, emails to reply to, work to go to, school meetings to attend and I'm not sure if it's the change in weather but I have a sudden urge to decorate!On the plus side, I made the decision about what school to put as our first choice for Miss Frugal's secondary school - it's … [Read more...]
Who knew fish could jump….
So yesterday was Miss Frugal's 11th birthday and we finally relented and bought her a goldfish.As responsible goldfish owners-to-be we bought the tank and all the necessary fishy stuff a couple of weeks ago and started to prepare the tank as per Google's instructions.We very responsibly took a sample of our water to the fish shop to have it tested before we bought the fish and the lady said our water was perfect *proud face*.Miss Frugal chose two Platy fish and the lady accidentally scooped in a tiny baby fish which she said we could have as well as it was the only other fish in … [Read more...]

Is it always better to cook from scratch?
I spent most of this morning making Miss Frugal a giant cupcake birthday cake for her 11th birthday tomorrow and it definitely didn't go to plan - in fact I'd say it went spectacularly wrong judging by the pile of burnt crusts I had to chop off it and the fact that half of the cake stayed stuck to the mould....After seeing my disaster, I'm pretty sure you won't want the recipe I used will you?I didn't think so ;-)I managed to rescue it with a good thick layer of icing and some sprinkles but even so, it's certainly not my best work....Which brings me to my question, is it … [Read more...]
Would you eat out of date food….
*hangs head in shame*Last week I cleaned out my kitchen cupboards and I found lots of out of date food.And by out of date, I mean REALLY out of date - Just look at this....This went out of date in June 2009 - over four years ago. This was the most out of date thing that I found but there were lots of other things that were at least a couple of years out of date - all of which were binned by Mr Frugal who came in to the kitchen half way through the task to find me sitting in the middle of the floor surrounded in everything from tinned peaches to cider vinegar. He won't eat … [Read more...]
Quick Boot Sale Update….
I'm so tired right now but we've had a really good day at the car boot sale so I thought I'd just pop on and give you a quick update on how we got on today at the car boot sale.We got up early and packed so much junk in the car that it looked like it was about to burst and headed off to the boot sale where we were lucky enough to get an undercover spot around the edge.We never unpack straight away as I hate when the professional sellers come sniffing round and actually root through your bags so we had some yummy dinky donuts and chilled out for half an hour before unpacking everything … [Read more...]
