We're more than half way through the Summer Holidays now and if you're anything like me, you're probably running out of ideas for keeping the kids occupied.It turns out that even though I had a list quite literally as long as my arm filled with things that we could do together, we have run out of ideas for things to do (other than the days out that we have planned in) with nearly three weeks left to go.On the plus side, we've had an amazing three weeks so far - we've done so much fun stuff and spent so much time together and we can't wait to see what fun the next few weeks will bring … [Read more...]
How to spend less on Gas and Electricity….
Make sure you have the best deal available to you....With the ever rising cost of gas and electricity, we should all be making sure that we're not only getting the best deals available to us but also that we're only using what we need to use and making the best of what we do use.It sounds like a lot of work but it's really not and to be fair, you're probably already doing a lot of it and the Summer is a great time to make sure that you're doing as much as you can so you're ready for when the cold weather kicks in.The first step is to make sure you're paying as little as possible … [Read more...]
My Happy Place….
I started writing this post a while ago when we were having a cheeky week away in Southport and due to the lack of Wifi and the nine million and twelve other things that make up my to do list but I never actually got around to finishing it until now....I have a happy place, a place in the world that makes me happy just by being there. This place brings back many memories of family holidays when I was younger -holidays that involved me, my Mam, my Dad and my brother and I treasure these memories all the more now that my Mam and brother aren't here with me anymore.My happy place is … [Read more...]
The best bits of Week 3 of our Summer Holidays….
After the madness of last week at Butlins and everything we did while we were away, we've tried to have a much more relaxed week this week although we've still done quite a lot in as I'm concious that I'm back at work tomorrow for the next two weeks so we won't be doing as much then. So this week Miss Frugal has had her ears pierced, we've been to Knowlsey Safari Park and Lightwater Valley, we've built boats and sailed them, had a picnic at the park and played frisbee and family baseball, been to our local museum and even managed to fit in a pyjama day while we watched movies and played … [Read more...]
A not so great app for children….
Did you used to have a Tamogotchi?It was one of those little electronic pets that you used to have to take care of and if you didn't they got sadder and sadder until they eventually died. I used to have one and for the first few weeks, I used to make my Mam take care of it while I was at school. After that the novelty wore off and it was relegated to the back of a drawer somewhere and must have eventually been thrown out.Anyway, the point of my question was because last week I was trying to explain what a Tamogotchi was to the kids and they told me there was an app that their friends … [Read more...]
#SatCap Saturday is Caption Day – The one with the wrestlers bottom….
I'm not sure how I can introduce this photo other than to tell you that I took it last week at Butlins and the wrestler in question had just been catapulted off stage by someone bearing a strong resemblance to the cowboy from the Village people.It might not be a great photo but I think I caught the action at just the right moment, don't you?Also, I'm in two minds as to whether the cheerleader in the corner is all 'Hey Baby' or if she's traumatised by what she's seeing.Not it's your turn, you get to caption the photo by leaving me a comment below.Have fun x … [Read more...]
