The Friendship Dilemma….
I have a bit of a dilemma. Miss Frugal has a friend who lives on the same street as us but doesn't go to the same school (thankfully), since the start of the school holidays they've been playing together more than usual. The problem is, I really don't like this little girl and I would much prefer that they didn't play together as much.

Then and Now…

In fact, she has a birthday party notebook (any excuse for stationery in this house) detailing her plans for the event of the year and I was just reading out her demands requests to my dad over the phone when he reminded me of one of my birthday parties when I was around the same age. I remember the party he means because he hired a camcorder (yes, hired it) for the day and spent the whole day filming everything, including my Nana arriving with my weekly copy of Twinkle aswell as my mam and … [Read more...]
