Was it Old Mother Hubbard who had no food in her house (I think she's the one who lived in a shoe with bare cupboards but I could be wrong)?If it was, then our house is like Old Mother Hubbard's house at the minute as we have no food in at all thanks to our week away last week and my general can't be bothered to go shopping attitude since we got home on Saturday. I just keep putting it off because I know that we have nothing in at all - usually we have at least some things in and I make our meal plan loosely based on that but this week, it's like starting from scratch. There's … [Read more...]
We’re ba-ack – here’s what we thought of Pontins Southport….
This started off as a post that was going to be about what we'd been up to this week but turned into a bit of a review about where we stayed so I thought I should make it clear that is not a paid for review or anything like that. We paid for the accommodation ourselves - £139 for all of us for a full week)We're back from our week away and I'm so tired that I feel like I need another week to get over it!We've had a brilliant week although I'm not sure that I'm in two minds as to whether I'd recommend Pontins or not. It was great fun and a brilliant price for a last minute week away if … [Read more...]
Sports Day – Holiday Style….
We missed Sports Day this year as we're away on a last minute holiday so we decided to have our own Sports Day....Much better than the egg and spoon race and the sack race I think you'll agree! Next up is the who can eat the most ice cream competition which I'm pretty sure I'm the favourite to win.... … [Read more...]
We’re not here….
Have you noticed that it's been a bit quiet around here this week?That's because last Thursday we decided to have a last minute cheeky week away so we booked a late deal to Pontins in Southport and that's where we've been since Saturday night. We have no TV (actually we have one but it's broken and the three visits to reception haven't resulted in a working TV), the Wifi is practiclly non existent and half the time we can't even get reception on our phones to send a text message but thinking about it, that's probably why we're having so much fun!We've managed to find more games that … [Read more...]
Is it really the thought that counts….
This morning I got up really early to catch up on some work before everyone else got up and chaos descended over the house. Instead, I made the mistake of having a look on eBay and Facebook before getting started - just for a few minutes you understand.Except I saw a link on Facebook to a recent news article that made me stop and think just how ungrateful some people could be. So I decided to write about that instead of doing the things I needed to do!Basically the story was about a bride who, in a series of texts to one of her guests, was extremely rude to one of the guests about the … [Read more...]
They’re going to have ‘the talk’….
For the last month or so Miss Frugal has been excitedly telling me that her class at school are due to have 'the talk'.I've absolutely no idea why she's been so excited about this talk as it's not even the sex talk, it's just about puberty and growing up and she's already quite clued up about that.They've been told at school today that the talk is going to be happening on Monday afternoon which is unfortunate as Miss Frugal isn't actually going to be at school on Monday as we're away for a long weekend this weekend. Understandably, she's devastated ;-)After watching her pout like … [Read more...]
