I read something in a magazine this week that annoyed me so much so that I actually e mailed the publishers of the magazine. It was a readers letter from a mum who said that her son was struggling with his spelling but 'as a busy mum' she didn't have time to help him. She does go on to say that she discovered her local library, got him a library card and his spelling has now greatly improved but I really don't think that's the point. As a mother, I do everything I can to encourage my children's learning and when it was apparent that Master Frugal was struggling, I did everything I could … [Read more...]
Silent Sunday – Buddy’s First Week….
It’s a Hard Life….
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.

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...]
