Master Frugal got a letter today, a special letter that came in a homemade envelope and was hand delivered to his desk at afternoon playtime. He was the only one to get one of these letters and I can imagine the big smile on his face as he opened the letter........I couldn't help but laugh when he showed me the letter - it was from his now ex-girlfriend, who decided that she didn't want to be his girlfriend anymore ;-( On School Disco day as well, poor little thing. He's not the only one with relationship problems though - the boy that Miss Frugal is mad about has told her that he … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Parents Night….
I know I've said before that I was worried about Master Frugal as he was behind his classmates for reading, you all gave me some brilliant ideas to encourage him and told me not to worry because he'd catch up when he was ready. I did listen to you all but it's been really hard for me not to worry, especially when it started to affect his confidence and when he started to worry that he couldn't read as well as his friends. I told him that all he could do was try his best and encouraged him as much as possible but he was starting to get frustrated and angry at himself when he couldn't get … [Read more...]
This weeks Bargains….
As part of my home makeover resolution for this year, I've decided to make a photo wall with all my favourite photo's, so I spent most of last night scouring ebay for photo frames and I'm going on a charity shop hunt for some more tomorrow. I want all the photo frames to be white and pretty rather than just the usual plain frames you get so I'm really pleased with the ones I've got so far: I know you might think that £30.00 for the frames isn't really a bargain but the wall is going to be a big feature and although I can add to it with other bargains that I pick up, I wanted to get it off … [Read more...]

Birthday Memories….
I can't believe Master Frugal is six this month, it only seems like yesterday that I was strapping him into his car seat ready to bring him home from hospital and now he's diving in the car with his DSi in one hand and his Ben 10 alien in the other!Like any typical six year old, he's got high hopes for his birthday and can't decide whether to have a party at the Wacky Warehouse for 20 friends (yeay) or one at home for six friends (double yeay). Personally, I much prefer the party at home idea but I know he'd struggle narrowing it down to six friends so it looks like we're going to end up … [Read more...]
Frugal Flylady….
Does anyone else feel like the year's passing them by? It only seems like yesterday we were unwrapping Christmas presents and eating turkey and now it's Spring with Easter just round the corner!As much as I don't like the fact that the year is going so fact, I do love that it's Spring though and not because of the cute lambs or the fact that flowers are starting to bloom or even that you can hear the birds singing again outside - it's actually because I love a good Spring Clean (I know, how sad is that?)I'm going to try out the Flylady system for my Spring Clean this year and … [Read more...]
