I was having a lovely browse through the cookbooks in Tesco yesterday trying to decide whether to buy the Baking Made Easy cookbook or the Jamie Oliver 30 Minute Meals one, when I was rudely interupted by Miss Frugal asking if she could have something she'd found. Being the crap good mother that I am, I didn't even look at what it was (I was busy after all), I just told her to go and ask her dad and got back to my cookbook selection process.Seconds later, I was rudely interrupted again by Mr Frugal demanding to know why I'd told her she could have a packet of condoms as long as he said it … [Read more...]
Wet Paper Towels….

What should you do if your child falls over and scrapes their knee? a) Pick them up and give them a hug. b) Tell them they'll be fine and get back to Twitter. c) Tell them they should have been more careful and send them back to play. d) Place a wet paper towel over their knee and tell them to hold it there for five minutes.

Why we’re Lucky….
I love how children think.... Master Frugal's teacher asked all the children in his class to write a list of reasons why they thought they were lucky which I think it's is a really good idea, especially with all the world events recently. He brought his list home from school with him today and even though he told me he forgot to write McDonalds on there (Bad Mummy Alert ;-)) I think it's brilliant!We don't have snakes or werewolves. Dinosaurs are dead. We don't live in a volcano. We have an XBox 360 and get to play Lego Star Wars. Our mams and dads love us so much. If … [Read more...]

Madness….
Is the world going mad? Our school have decided that they will no longer use the school bell as it is too intrusive and noisy. So not only do the children get let out on an afternoon anywhere between 2.55 and 3.05 depending on the teachers watch, I now have no idea how late I am on a morning as I can't hear the bell going off as I rush down the road! Tell me it's not just me that thinks this is ridiculous - is a school bell not supposed to be noisy and intrusive?It's almost as bad as the kids being able to buy sweets and drinks at the school discos but not being allowed to eat … [Read more...]
