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...]
Magic Mince….
When I first started meal planning, I found it a bit daunting - the idea of cooking something from scratch every night was a bit much for me and I was sure my limited recipe repertoire would meant we'd be eating macaroni cheese at least 5 nights a week.

Not a Good Week….
I've not had a good week this week! My week from hell started when we got up on Monday morning and Master Frugal clearly wasn't well enough to go school. He looked white as a sheet and said he was achey all over so I sent him back to bed and arranged for Mr Frugal's mam to come and sit with him while I was at work. When I came home, he was snuggled up on the settee sound asleep, I pulled back the blanket to give him a hug and instantly noticed that he was burning up and I mean really burning up!
