I'm really enjoying taking part in Project 365 and even though this week has been a funny old week, looking back at the pictures has made me smile....The spider incident - poor Mr Frugal had to come and rescue me as I hate spiders. So tired after his first few days at school he was sound asleep by half six! This is Master Frugal's first attempt at Instagram although I did think he was quietly playing Angry Birds on my phone. We were at the out of hours dentist with Miss Frugal as she has an abscess in her mouth where a big tooth is pushing through. Snowball the Furby now has her … [Read more...]
Our week in pictures (and a few words) – Week 1….
We've been feeling a bit sorry for ourselves this week - apart from the usual post-Christmas blues, we've been ill with this stupid virus that everyone seems to have at the minute. Most days we haven't even got dressed and we've spent the day watching films, playing games and generally doing nothing.I'm going to try and join in with Project 365 this year by posting a weekly round up of my favourite photos of the week although to be fair, looking at this weeks not very interesting pictures, it's clear that our first week of 2013 hasn't been very eventful ;-) … [Read more...]
January to March 2013 – My giant to do list….
I posted my New Years resolutions a few days ago and this is quite a similar post to be honest so I may never even hit the Publish button. It might just be my own personal little thing that I can refer to every now and again to see how many things I've actually got around to doing.On the other hand, I think I will publish it and share little updates with you every now and again....Basically, this is my to do list for the first three months of the year - I'll do another one in April along with a full update on what I've actually achieved from this one! I've written a list of very … [Read more...]
The year ahead….
2012 was a great year for us as a family and I hope that 2013 will be even better.Everyone has their own reasons for living frugally and I know I've said this before (lots of times) but one of our reasons is so that we can afford to do more fun things as a family. This year we've had some great times together and made some fantastic family memories with some lovely friends - old and new.I'll be sad to see the end to such a great year but as always, I'm looking forward to the start of the new year. I love the feeling that the new year brings and I always like to spend a little bit of … [Read more...]
A not very Christmassy ranty post….
Both of my children have beautiful red hair....They've always loved the colour of their hair and to my knowledge, until this week nothing negative has ever really been said to them about their hair colour. Just the opposite in fact, they often get stopped by people who tell them how lovely it is.We've had a few incidents like this and this - but I don't really think they're the same as they weren't outright nasty comments made to their faces like we've experienced this week.I took them into town as I had a problem with my mobile phone and had to spend over an hour in the shop … [Read more...]
We’ve reached Official Helper status….
Today was a proud day in our house.It was the day that Miss Frugal was finally awarded 'Official Helper' status. She gets a shiny green badge of her own to wear on her school jumper and she is so proud of the fact that she's been given this badge that I'm sure she'll be wearing it with pride every day.She's been after one of these coveted badges for ages but all the important jobs were taken so she had to wait for an opening and today, one of the other girls was controversially sacked from her job so a vacancy became unexpectedly available.There was much arguing at school over who … [Read more...]
