After the chaos of last week, we have a nice boring week ahead of us thank goodness.We're all feeling a bit bleugh at the minute to be honest. Mr Frugal is awaiting an MRI scan for his vertigo as the specialist says his symptoms are much worse than they would expect and he's also due to go for an x-ray and an ultrasound as the Dr thinks he also has kidney stones. As well as that, I have a bad back from where I slipped down the stairs yesterday and poor Miss Frugal has been suffering a little lately with her abdominal migraines.We should just paint a red cross over the door and … [Read more...]

Do you want to win one of the top toys this Christmas….
Have your children written their Christmas wish lists yet?If they have, there's a good chance that they'll have asked for a Furby seeing as that's looking to be one of the top toys for Christmas 2012.The all new and improved Furby is much more advanced that the Furbys that I remember from when I was younger. They speak both Furbish and English and there's a free app available that lets you feed your Furby virtually as well as translating Furbish into English (this is an amazing feature according to Master Frugal). The new generation Furby's are much cuter looking than their … [Read more...]
Teaching Remembrance….
My Grandad died fighting for his country during World War 2. Mr Frugal's Dad was in the army and fought in the Falklands as well as getting shot by terrorists during active service elsewhere. Both children have friends whose parents are serving Afghanistan. We have friends whose children, partners, brothers and cousins are out in Afghanistan fighting for their country. Everyone is affected by war one way or another and regardless of whether we agree with the reasons that we entered into any particular conflict, one thing we should all agree on is that we should be extremely proud of all … [Read more...]

Look what we’ve been up to so far this week….
We've had a busy week this week! We had our bonfire night on Sunday night and had some lovely friends round for hot dogs, cakes and hot chocolates with marshmallows and squirty cream....The next morning we set off to London to join Marmite as their guests in the Golden Circle (check us out) on Oxford Street for the big Christmas light switch on. They asked us a few weeks ago so we decided to go and celebrate our anniversary a week early by leaving the kids at home and having a grown up night away in London. We got a good deal on our train fares and our hotel room was a complete bargain … [Read more...]
