Is it too early for a post with a Christmas tree in it? There's a fine line between being thankful that someone you know has gone to the time, trouble and cost of buying you a present and absolutely hating the thing you're given and wishing that they had bought you something that they know you would have liked. After all, they must know me reasonably well, if we're buying gifts for each other.I only buy gifts for people I care about so I put a lot of thought into what I'm going to buy someone. I like the satisfaction of knowing that they're going to love what's inside the … [Read more...]
Saturday is caption day – the one with the big green ugly guy….
Miss Frugal has a lucky escape not long ago when we met this big fella at Madame Tussauds! Luckily, he realised that it wasn't advisable to mess with a pre-teen mass of hormones and left her alone ;-)Now it's over to you, leave a comment with your funniest caption for this photo and then go join in with the rest of the Saturday is Caption Day posts by visiting the linky over at Mammsaurus’ blog. … [Read more...]
Remembering….
Last week would have been my brother's 44th birthday.It's been eight years now since he lost his long battle with cancer and I still miss him every single day.I could tell you how perfect a brother he was, but I'd be lying.But that doesn't change the fact that he was my brother and it's not fair that he died so young.I'm angry that it happened to him and that he wasn't one of the lucky ones who beat cancer and I'm sad that I don't have my big brother any more and the children don't have their uncle around to see them grow up and his little boy doesn't have a Dad. I'm even … [Read more...]
Get Organised – the make some extra money edition….
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they have enough money - whether you worry about having enough money to pay your bills, to buy those little extras or even for the luxuries in life, most people would say no if you asked them if they had enough money (I think they would, am I wrong?).So this week, we're going to look at ways to make a little bit of extra money. Some you'll see the benefit of straight away but some are a little more long term but all of them will make you some extra money, which I'm sure will come in handy at this time of year.Car Boot Sales - Perfect at this … [Read more...]
This is what’s making me laugh right now….
We bought Just Dance 4 for the kids this afternoon and they've been playing it ever since. This is them being Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing....(I only realised half way through that the video would be better if I filmed them from the front ;-)) Just click the X on any ads - it's because Youtube recognises the song playing in the background so they put an ad on at the start - nothing to do with me! … [Read more...]
Another proud parenting moment….
When we were on holiday a little while ago, Mr Frugal thought he would teach the kids what he thinks to be an amusing game. You might know it if you're a certain age and fans of Dick and Dom....Basically, when you're in a public place, you take it in turns to say the word bogie - starting quietly and building up to as loud as you can go before:a) someone gives you a dirty look or tells you to shut upb) your mean mum tells you that if she hears the word one more time she'll screamc) you collapse into a fit of giggles that makes it impossible to speakor d) all of the … [Read more...]
