Apparently I'm an awesome mum.Now obviously, I've known this for some time but in the last week, I've been told by at least four different people that I'm a great mum so I'm making the title official now - I may even make myself a laminated certificate to put on the fridge door.The reason for all the extra praise I've had this week? It's because I posted a couple of photos on my Facebook account of the kid's bedrooms when we were having a chill out afternoon.When we moved house, my priority was to get the kids bedrooms done first so they had somewhere comfortable to relax on their … [Read more...]
Things I hate #1 – Annoying husbands….
Today my husband annoyed me. A lot.It wasn't about anything serious - he just wouldn't take Master Frugal for his hair cut without me. Master Frugal had a specific style in mind and apparently I'm better at explaining things to people so I needed to be the one to explain the style to the hairdresser! I had other things to do but ended up going with them and sitting around for nearly an hour while a little old man barber tried his best (and for the record, failed) to replicate a Justin Bieber style haircut on Master Frugal!I sulked with him the whole time we were in … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan – the last stretch before payday….
We've got another busy week ahead of us this week and seeing as January pay day still hasn't arrived, I'll be buying as little as possible when I go shopping for this week. I try and make sure I always have plenty of what I call 'the essentials' in the cupboard - things like rice, pasta, tinned tomatoes, tinned tuna and stock cubes along with things like mince and chicken in the freezer because you can always make something if you have these in. But we're even starting to run low on these things and this week's meal plan will probably finish off my supplies so I'm looking forward to pay day … [Read more...]
Scared of nightmares….
A few weeks ago I was woken in the middle of the night by Miss Frugal practically jumping on me in floods of tears. She was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe let alone speak.Once I'd been able to make sure that she wasn't hurting or in pain, I hugged her until she managed to calm herself down enough to talk to me and when she did, she told me that she'd had a nightmare. A nightmare that she couldn't talk about without starting to cry again other than to say that we all died in it.I calmed her down, told her it was just a nightmare and reassured her that we were all OK … [Read more...]
If Carlsberg made weeks….
This week has been a brilliant week all round for a couple of reasons that I can't really share with you on here but believe me, I feel very different today to the way I felt this time last week.This was taken in the dentist's waiting room while we were sat waiting for our second appointment in as many weeks. She's had to have a baby tooth taken out as there's a big one pushing through in the same spot. It was awful - there's no other way to describe it. There were tears, whimpers and lots of hand squeezing going on but at least she's not in pain anymore although when I ask her she … [Read more...]
My emergency car bag – because you never know when you might need it….
I know this might sound a bit geeky but we have a bag in the back of our packed with emergency supplies just in case we ever break down or get stranded somewhere.I thought I'd share my geekiness with you today because apparently this weekend is going to be 'snowmageddon' and it's predicted that there's going to be a lot more car breakdowns and stranded motorists than usual!A jacket or cardigan for us all - nothing fancy, just an ancient jacket of mine, Mr Frugal's oldest jumper and two coats of the kids that are just about on their last legs. They're only to use in an emergency so … [Read more...]
