I sent Miss Frugal to bed this morning after a quiet game of Lego Star Wars somehow ended up with Master Frugal being stabbed with a mini Lego lightsaber and screaming so loud that you would have thought that his whole arm had been chopped off!About five minutes later, I got a text from Miss Frugal (yes, she has her own phone) telling me to check my e mails....On her way upstairs, she'd sneakily grabbed her laptop (which she's normally only allowed to use in the same room as me) and was now apologising by e mail. Master Frugal read the e mails she'd sent him, decided to forgive … [Read more...]

I was having a lovely browse through the cookbooks in Tesco yesterday trying to decide whether to buy the Baking Made Easy cookbook or the Jamie Oliver 30 Minute Meals one, when I was rudely interupted by Miss Frugal asking if she could have something she'd found. Being the crap good mother that I am, I didn't even look at what it was (I was busy after all), I just told her to go and ask her dad and got back to my cookbook selection process.Seconds later, I was rudely interrupted again by Mr Frugal demanding to know why I'd told her she could have a packet of condoms as long as he said it … [Read more...]

I love how children think.... Master Frugal's teacher asked all the children in his class to write a list of reasons why they thought they were lucky which I think it's is a really good idea, especially with all the world events recently. He brought his list home from school with him today and even though he told me he forgot to write McDonalds on there (Bad Mummy Alert ;-)) I think it's brilliant!We don't have snakes or werewolves. Dinosaurs are dead. We don't live in a volcano. We have an XBox 360 and get to play Lego Star Wars. Our mams and dads love us so much. If … [Read more...]
