Last Sunday something traumatic happened to me.Before I tell you what happened, I understand that it may not have been as traumatic to you if it had happened to you but to me, who takes photos of everything so I never miss a moment or a memory, it was traumatic.So, I came downstairs on Sunday morning, all bleary eyed and in need of caffeine and found Master Frugal fast asleep under a blanket on the living room floor with his arm around the dog who was also fast asleep. My first thought, naturally, was to grab my phone so I could take a picture before either of them woke up or moved to … [Read more...]
The dreaded question….
The dreaded question has now been asked - the one that I knew was coming but was dreading all the same: Mam, you know how I'm sensible and stuff and I'm almost grown up, well, I think I'm ready to walk home from school myself. Is that OK? Actually no, it's far from OK because I'm not ready for it myself yet.What I wanted to say was this: I like knowing that when I drop you off at breakfast you can't escape until I come and get you and then I bring you home so there's no danger of you getting lost / run over by a car / approached by strange people / attacked by a dog / … [Read more...]

Learning about Consequences….
I was discussing Miss Frugal the other day with someone much wiser than me last week and they said something to me that I thought was very true and something I hadn't really thought about before: Part of growing up is learning that some of the decisions you make will be wrong.

Sometimes it’s hard to smile….
Sometimes it's hard to smile.You just want to lock the door, close the curtains and pretend that you're the only person in the world.I sometimes feel like this. Not often but it happens.Because sometimes I miss my mum so much and it makes me sad that she's not here to see the things that I can see.She'd love to see how much Miss Frugal loves clothes and make up because she used to be exactly the same and she'd be so pleased to see that Master Frugal loves to read as she used to always have a book close by.
