To my amazing daughter,We both kind of expected your first year of senior school to get off to a shaky start didn't we? After all you didn't know anyone at your new school and being as shy as you were we thought you would struggle a little until you found your feet.I've never been so pleased to be wrong in my life!You met a great group of girls on your first day and you've become firm friends with them all but even better than that, you've continued to make friends and you now have a huge amount of friends as your phone will testify to with it's non stop beeping after … [Read more...]
My Week {12th July 2015}….
This last week has been the busiest week I can remember in a long time!Here's the highlights.... Tuesday Master Frugal's school had an open afternoon on Tuesday where parents were invited to go in and spend some time with the children at school. We sat together and looked through his workbooks and he proudly told me his levels which are amazing but I hate that children are told their levels in front of their classmates. They shouldn't feel like they're doing worse/better than others at such a young age in my opinion.I went straight from the open afternoon to Miss Frugal's end of … [Read more...]
Stay organised and save money this Summer….
As always, we're counting down the days to the Summer Holidays this year (19 sleeps for us) and we can't wait for the freedom that the holidays always bring - no early mornings for the kids, no school, no homework, no early nights and even better than all of that is the three weeks holiday I have coming up!I don't know about you but in the past we've tried to fit so much in to our time off that we've been exhausted rather than refreshed by the time September comes around! Last year was a bit different for us though as we tried to have a bit of a lazy Summer which meant that, although we … [Read more...]
My Week {5th July 2015}….
This picture pretty much sums up this last week for me - lots of time in the garden, lots of work to get through and lots of time spent with the kids! It's been such a gorgeous week this week hasn't it? So nice in fact that I've spent most of my week (when I haven't been asleep or at work) sat outside in the garden.My garden isn't the biggest and it certainly isn't the prettiest right now but I have a nice little spot in the shade where my table and chairs are set up and I've really enjoyed sitting out there watching the kids play on the trampoline and putting down all of the ideas that … [Read more...]
Here’s my secret to organising family life….
I don't know about you but life can be chaotic around here sometimes!Take this coming week for example, I have to remember some important work meetings, what shifts Mr Frugal is working, the early finish and the non uniform day for Miss Frugal, a family fun day that needs cakes, raffle prizes and money for Master Frugal, numerous after school clubs, a lunch date with a friend and a dentists appointment for the kids. Oh, and an appointment for the dog with the groomers.Granted, next week is slightly busier than normal but even a normal week required more juggling than a clown to make … [Read more...]
My Week {28th June 2015}….
I do love blogging, I really do. But sometimes I get caught up in it all and forget the one reason why I started blogging. You see, I didn't start blogging for all you lovely readers (although you're an amazing added bonus) and I didn't start blogging to make money or to be the best.I started blogging to keep a diary of sorts about the things we get up to as a family because it's more important to me than I can explain in a sentence that we have a record of our happy memories. But lately, we've made memories that I haven't shared on here because I didn't think the things we've done would … [Read more...]
