I'm after some help and advice from you all tonight - How do you teach your children the difference between telling tales and telling a grown up something important?My children on the whole are very close and up until recently they could quite happily spend the afternoon playing happily together. Lately, they've been having more and more petty little squabbles and some of the tales they tell on each other are ridiculous.... He stuck his tongue out at me!She rolled her eyes at me!He wrote in my notebook!She added a piece of Lego to the Lego house I'm building!He keeps … [Read more...]
Our night with JLS….
Last Friday, the day of the long awaited JLS concert finally arrived. I think I was more excited than she was, obviously because I couldn't wait to see her face when she saw her favourite group on stage, nothing to do with the little schoolgirl crush that I may possibly have on Marvin (who is very lovely)! After spending a very un-frugal amount at the merchandise stand, Miss Frugal apparently couldn't wait a second longer to go and find our seats so we ended up being practically the first people sat down....We 'bumped' into the support act, NVS, on one of our many trips to the … [Read more...]
Our First Broken Heart….
Last week Master Frugal came rushing out of school and announced to us that he was in love and had asked his new girlfriend to marry him. She accepted even though another boy in their class also popped the question the same day as she said liked how Master Frugal didn't cry when he fell over at playtime.They've had so much fun together this week according to Master Frugal and he was looking forward to celebrating their one week anniversary today (he'd even written her a love letter).The only problem was that between last night when she'd told him that she loved him and first thing … [Read more...]
The Frugal Family on Tour with Stena Line….
A few weeks ago, I opened an e mail to find a lovely invitation from Stena Line to travel on one of their ferries as part of their National Ferry Fortnight celebrations. We hope you’ll agree that for families with children, ferry travel can turn a typically stressful journey into a fun and pleasurable one for all involved. With lots of room to roam and plenty of distractions (including the amazing view of the open sea!), travelling on Stena Line is fun for the entire family. How could I not say yes to a promise like that?The only weekend we could all get time off together was the weekend … [Read more...]

So here you go, I've provided the photo and now you have to provide the caption for it by leaving me a comment below....Check out the rest of the posts in the Saturday Caption linky here ;-) … [Read more...]
Convenience gone mad….
I couldn't help but laugh when I went to Tesco tonight and saw their new 'Easy Home Bake' range. The range consists of ready mixed ingredients for chocolate brownies, Victoria sponge cake and gingerbread among other things.They're like packet mixes for posh people!The Victoria sponge mix costs £3.50 which seems like a massive amount to me for a bit of flour, sugar and butter and a couple of eggs. Miss Frugal can whip up a Victoria sponge on her own and from memory in no time at all and it must cost less than a pound to make!I'm guessing that there is a market for these … [Read more...]
