No room at the inn….
Warning - Ranty post including over use of exclamation marks....What's the last thing you want after a four hour journey on your own with two children who are cold, tired and grumpy?To arrive at the hotel you've booked to be told that the hotel has been massively overbooked and there are no rooms available for you!This is what happened to me earlier in the week when we arrived at our hotel in London. And not just us, there were at least six other families scattered about the reception area in varying stages of annoyance/desperation when we got there - more by the time we got … [Read more...]

If Carlsberg did weeks….
This last week has been amazing - one of the most fun weeks we've had in a long time.We started last Thursday night with a last minute trip to the Circus thanks to a much reduced opening night price.

None of us have ever been to a circus before and it was completely different to what we were expecting. The juggler dropped his balls (oops)almost as much as he caught them, the tightrope walker looked completely terrified and the Miss Frugal … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan – the busy Easter Holidays edition….
The last month or so has been slightly chaotic (as I may have said ;-)) so my meal plans have been very 'flexible' meaning, virtually non existent which has led to more money being spent on our food budget.

Would you fake an insurance claim….
It's OK, I don't really expect anyone to come right out and admit that they would make a fake insurance claim but I just wanted to put the question out there.My reason for asking is that, as you might know, two weeks ago I was hit by a truck when I was driving home from work. I walked away with no injuries thankfully although my car is looking like it's a write off due to the amount of damage done and obviously I'm going to claim on my car insurance policy for that. I'm also going to try and claim my train costs as we were going away that weekend so we had to get the train as the car was … [Read more...]
