Today we've been making a treasure hunt for Mr Frugal when he comes in from work and it took me back to the ones we used to do for the kid when they were younger. We haven't done one for ages though so we thought it was time to sort that out! We're starting with one for Mr Frugal - mainly because he's not in at the minute so clue writing and hiding is much easier but also because we haven't seen him in a week as we've been away so the kids wanted to do something for him as a surprise.Obviously, the idea of a treasure hunt is to follow a series of clues that will ultimately lead you … [Read more...]
Win tickets to visit Thorpe Park this Summer….
Remember how much fun we had when we went to Thorpe Park?Well now you can have the chance to have just as much fun because I'm giving away tickets to one lucky reader.You can either have 4 adult tickets or a family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children and all you have to do to win them is to leave me a comment to tell me if you prefer rollercoasters (like Mr Frugal and the kids) or the slower, more gentle rides like the Carousel (more my cup of tea).And if you're not lucky enough to win this competition, you can still get a great deal on your tickets because at the moment, if you … [Read more...]
Our favourite bits from week 2 of our Summer holidays….
Ear piecing for boys – yay or nay….
Today Miss Frugal is going to get her ears pierced. Possibly.I'm happy for her to get them done, after all, I had mine done when I was younger than her but we've been away the last week and we'd decided that today was going to be the day as I want her to have had them in for as long as possible before she goes back to school in September.But she's woken up today and can't decide if she really does want them doing, so we'll have to see what happens.One person who very definitely does want pierced ears (or rather ear to be more precise) is Master Frugal who is desperate to have his … [Read more...]
The best way to watch Sunderland Airshow….
We look forward to the Sunderland Airshow every year and every year we go, get stuck in lots of traffic on our way to the park and ride, watch some fantastic flying displays and then get stuck in lots more traffic on the way home. The Airshow itself is amazing,especially for Mr Frugal who like to think of himself as a bit of an expert because he can name most of the planes that we see, but the traffic that we inevitably get stuck in usually means that the day isn't as enjoyable as it could be.So we had high hopes for this years Airshow when we were invited to watch it from a DFDS ferry … [Read more...]
#my99psummer – Just how much fun stuff can you buy for £10.00….
I know that you don't need money to have fun.If your children are anything like mine, they could have fun together in an empty room. They can make their own fun out of whatever they have at hand, whether it's an empty cardboard box or a pen and paper.But, this is the Summer Holidays which means that they have six long weeks stretching out in front of them and with so much time to fill, it seems very likely that we're going to need a helping hand to get them through without hearing the dreaded I'm bored words.We're well prepared this year as we have our wall planner and our I'm … [Read more...]
