And I think you will be too.Basically, Swagbucks is a site where you earn points (swagbucks) for doing the things you usually do online - like searching the internet, playing games, watching videos and shopping. You can also earn points by referring people, completing surveys and polls and taking advantage of some of the offers available on there.The Swagbucks you earn add up and can be redeemed for vouchers and gift cards for many major retailers … [Read more...]
Holidays are coming….
Christmas has officially started in our house.It actually started a week last Saturday when the Coca Cola advert was on during one of the ad breaks in X Factor - my Twitter and Facebook streams went mad for a little while after the advert had been on because everyone knows that the Coca Cola advert heralds the start of the festive season*.If I get this excited about an advert of a truck, can you imagine how excited I was to find out that that the real truck was going to be quite close to where we live on it's tour of the UK?Our adventure started like this:What my friend … [Read more...]

Today was supposed to have been a bit of a quiet day at home.It's seven years today since my Mam died and I've been feeling a bit down all week just knowing that the day was coming up. But instead of staying at home and dwelling on it, we went ice skating with some good friends and we had an amazing time.Master Frugal took two steps on the ice and decided that it wasn't for him but after watching everyone else, he decided that he was missing out and got himself back on the ice.

Which pink do you think….
On Saturday we've lived in our house for four years and although I'm gradually starting to get sorted, it's still very magnolia. I have no idea where the time has gone but I'm determined not to start another new year with decorate the house being one of my New Year Resolutions!The children's bedrooms were the first rooms we decorated when we moved in as we wanted them to be comfortable in their new bedrooms. I really think it's important that children have input into their own spaces so Master Frugal's room had an alien / sky at night vibe going on and Miss Frugal's was very a very girly … [Read more...]
