I have a *friend* who has been poorly for the last month with a chest infection. One of the symptoms of her infection has been a bad cough that's kept her awake at night, made her sick and occasionally even caused her to wee herself a little bit (because of the coughing you understand).Anyway, this morning when she was dropping her daughter off at school she was having a rather loud coughing fit in the playground when her daughter said to one of her school friends ' Uh oh, I really hope she doesn't wee herself again'. However, as my *friend* was still coughing, her daughter thought she … [Read more...]
How I know I need to clean my house….
Yes, I know I need to clean my house because Miss Frugal has been able to write me a message in the dust on the base of our TV. (In my defense, I've been unwell with a chest infection for the last month but still....) … [Read more...]

Quidco is an online company who work with over 3000 retailers to give you the opportunity to earn cashback on your spending. It works because when you click through to a retailers website from Quidco, they earn a commission, based on the amount … [Read more...]
The Gallery – My Inspiration….
My mam died five years ago next month and there hasn't been a day gone by since then that I haven't missed her.I miss her so much and even now, it hurts me when I think about how much of the children's lives she's missing out on. Sometimes I just want to stamp my feet and scream that it's not fair that she died. I don't know if I'll ever stop wanting to pick up the phone to tell her some small thing that's happened during the day or if I'll ever stop talking to her like she's still here with me but I do know that one of the reasons I miss her so much is because she was my inspiration. … [Read more...]
Teaching Children to Recycle….
We all know how important it is to teach our children how to recycle but if yours are anything like mine, they like to learn in a fun way that they can understand - which is why I love the new Coca Cola Recyclometer tool.We've been using it for the last few weeks now and it's been excellent for showing the children (and me) just how big an impact the small action of recycling something can have which in turn has made them much more enthusastic about recycling.We have a recycling bin in the kitchen that we put our recycling in and when that gets full we move the rubbish outside where we … [Read more...]
