It's being snowing all day and I'm slowly going mad.... So far we've made our own little story books, we've watched the Christmas film Elf, we've watched way too many episodes of Phineas and Ferb, played on the X Box, baked a multi coloured cake and had a family snowball fight. Just when I thought I had nothing else left to keep the kids entertained, I found a packet of maltesers....Now I know you're all dying to know how you can entertain your children for over an hour with just a packet of Maltesers so without further ado, I'd like to welcome to the Frugal Family Maltesers … [Read more...]
An Alien Afternoon….
The theme for this week's Friday Club is encouraging learning at home which is something that I'm really interested in at the moment. I thought this would be the ideal opportunity to share one of my old posts with you about the sorts of activities we do to bring our favourite books to life. We've done this with quite a few books lately but our favourite is still Aliens Love Underpants because it's such a funny book and there's so many activities you can do that you can link to the book. So without further ado, I present you, An Alien Afternoon - the repeat ;-)One of our favourite books … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Not Black and White….
I wanted to try and do something different for this weeks Gallery but as usual I left it too late to do anything impressive or clever. After a quick play on Picassa trying to black and whitify (I know, not a word) some of my favourite pictures I gave up and went to ask Mr Frugal for his thoughts on what I could take a photo of that would represent the theme of black and white. His response was that he didn't care what I did as long as it didn't involve Newcastle United! As a Boro fan he is obliged to hate anything to do with Newcastle United - it's the law apparently ;-) So in honour … [Read more...]

What did you do last night….
Mr Frugal and I have been married for ten years this week and to celebrate we went to see Peter Kay last night at the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena and it was fantastic - a perfect way to celebrate. I know this picture doesn't show it but we actually had really good seats (apart from the fact that everyone was squashed in like sardines) and my chest actually hurt from laughing solidly for two hours. His new material is fantastic and I can't wait to buy the DVD!Courtesy of last night, the kids new favourite new joke is: My mates just been sacked from his job on the dodgems, it's OK … [Read more...]
Grown Up Twenty Questions….
Not that we're twelve or anything but when someone gave Miss Frugal one of those electronic twenty question games, we couldn't resist trying out it's knowledge of slightly more grown up objects. By we, I obviously mean me and Mr Frugal and not me and her - now that would be wrong! Our first word of the day was vibrator ;-)Is it Animal, Mineral, or Other - Other Is it shiny - Sometimes Is it flat - No Does it get wet - Yes ;-) Does it open - No Is it made of metal - Sometimes Is it a common household object - No (Bit of an argument about this one) Does it have writing on it - … [Read more...]
