Party Politics….
It's OK this isn't a political post really, although I would like to say thank you to our local Labour candidate who nearly ran me off the road on Thursday when he was concentrating more on his loundspeaker thing than his driving! This is about a different kind of party politics - birthday parties....Earlier this week Miss Frugal told me about a party one of her friends was having that she hadn't been invited to. She wasn't too bothered herself but as the birthday girl had been one of the girls invited to Miss Frugal's pamper party last September, I couldn't help but wonder why she … [Read more...]

Everything's quiet now and I'm sat with an ice cold glass of cider looking at the photos I've taken today with a big smile on my face. What's your day … [Read more...]
How do you deal with Attitude….
I know it's not ideal to get parenting tips from Harry Enfield but when I think about my children growing up, I always picture Kevin from that Harry Enfield sketch - you know the one where he goes to bed on the eve of his thirteenth birthday as a sweet, loving twelve year old and gets up the following morning as a moody, hormonal teenager.Unfortunately, Miss Frugal has decided to ignore the Harry Enfield book of parenting and has started her teenage moods early which I'm finding extremely challenging at the moment.
