I've seen those signs you get for the back of your car that say 'Mum's Taxi' but I never thought that I'd need one myself ;-) We have activities every night of the week at the moment!I think I'm over compensating for the fact that until recently the kids didn't really join in with many after school activities. I used to work 8.30am - 5.45pm four days a week so I was never at home to take them but since I reduced my hours at work to spend more time with them, we've signed up for everything that takes their fancy and the quality time I had envisaged us having together is mostly spent in the … [Read more...]
Operation Makeover: I found my first project….
Operation Makeover is now officially underway and seeing as I've found some lovely bargains this week, I though I'd share them with you as part of Magpie Monday ;-)I managed to find a new first project (after losing out on the lovely sideboard I won on ebay last week) and I think it's going to look brilliant when it's done.

I even read somewhere that you should give each other foot massages but I can't think of … [Read more...]

So yesterday I was traumatised by the S word and today I'm mortified because Master Frugal decided to show everyone his underpants in the playground after school this afternoon!The reason for this sudden display of underwear? He couldn't wait another minute to show me that his pants matched his hair ;-) … [Read more...]
I know how babies are made….
Master Frugal: I know how babies are made mam. Me: Do you? Master Frugal: Yes, the Daddy falls in love with Mammy when they go to bed and then he puts a baby in her tummy. Me (breathing a sign of relief that the S word wasn't mentioned): Aaaw Miss Frugal (from the next room): Yeah but they've got to have sex first though you know! … [Read more...]
