Not that we're twelve or anything but when someone gave Miss Frugal one of those electronic twenty question games, we couldn't resist trying out it's knowledge of slightly more grown up objects. By we, I obviously mean me and Mr Frugal and not me and her - now that would be wrong! Our first word of the day was vibrator ;-)Is it Animal, Mineral, or Other - Other Is it shiny - Sometimes Is it flat - No Does it get wet - Yes ;-) Does it open - No Is it made of metal - Sometimes Is it a common household object - No (Bit of an argument about this one) Does it have writing on it - … [Read more...]
Happy Halloween….
Happy Halloween to all my lovely bloggy friends. I hope you all had as much fun as we've had ;-) We've had such a good day and now have enough chocolate to last us until next Halloween.

Are you still talking….
I've just had to tell Master Frugal off when he had a bit of a mood because he couldn't watch Ben 10 before bed. I tried to rationally explain to him that it was bedtime and if he didn't get some sleep he would be tired tomorrow. I told him that he didn't want to be tired and moody in the morning as he's going swimming with his grandad.Do you know what he said?Are you still talking mum because all I can hear is rar rar rar?Needless to say, his Daddy is in a LOT of trouble when he comes in from work as he said that to me this morning when I was leaving him a nice list of jobs for … [Read more...]

How to make your very own halloween meringue ghosts! 4 large egg whites 115g sugar 115g icing … [Read more...]
Halloween Story Cards….
We've made a set of story cards before (here) and we still play with them every now and again so I thought we could make a Halloween set of cards so we could tell some spooky Halloween stories this week.Last time we made our story cards using a mix of some cut up birthday cards and some rather pathetic looking drawings but today I thought we could do some colouring as well so I printed out some Halloween colouring pictures from here. (All you need to do is select Halloween, the number of cards you want and select the black and white version so you can colour them in yourselves.)We … [Read more...]
Pocketmoney – How much?
I think this must be the longest I've not blogged for since I started blogging, I just haven't felt like it so much lately so I thought I'd have myself a little blogging break. I've been enjoying time with my children which, ultimately, is what this blog's all about and now, after a week off, I'm back, not exactly refreshed but I'm here anyway ;-) and I need some advice.Our Chore Chart has been up and running for the last week and it's been pretty successful so far. Pocket money day is now fast approaching - In fact, it's been and gone once but we went out for the day at the weekend … [Read more...]
