Happy Halloween to all my lovely bloggy friends. I hope you all had as much fun as we've had ;-) We've had such a good day and now have enough chocolate to last us until next Halloween. Thanks to the lovely people at Tescos for sending us our costumes - the kids loved them and have had them on all day today. Next, we've got Bonfire Night and then we're on the run-up to Christmas - AAAAGH … [Read more...]
Are you still talking….
I've just had to tell Master Frugal off when he had a bit of a mood because he couldn't watch Ben 10 before bed. I tried to rationally explain to him that it was bedtime and if he didn't get some sleep he would be tired tomorrow. I told him that he didn't want to be tired and moody in the morning as he's going swimming with his grandad.Do you know what he said?Are you still talking mum because all I can hear is rar rar rar?Needless to say, his Daddy is in a LOT of trouble when he comes in from work as he said that to me this morning when I was leaving him a nice list of jobs for … [Read more...]
Halloween Story Cards….
We've made a set of story cards before (here) and we still play with them every now and again so I thought we could make a Halloween set of cards so we could tell some spooky Halloween stories this week.Last time we made our story cards using a mix of some cut up birthday cards and some rather pathetic looking drawings but today I thought we could do some colouring as well so I printed out some Halloween colouring pictures from here. (All you need to do is select Halloween, the number of cards you want and select the black and white version so you can colour them in yourselves.)We … [Read more...]
Pocketmoney – How much?
I think this must be the longest I've not blogged for since I started blogging, I just haven't felt like it so much lately so I thought I'd have myself a little blogging break. I've been enjoying time with my children which, ultimately, is what this blog's all about and now, after a week off, I'm back, not exactly refreshed but I'm here anyway ;-) and I need some advice.Our Chore Chart has been up and running for the last week and it's been pretty successful so far. Pocket money day is now fast approaching - In fact, it's been and gone once but we went out for the day at the weekend … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Not Just any Lizard….
When I saw that the theme for this weeks Gallery was RED, I planned to get Miss Frugal all dressed up in the cute red devil outfit that the lovely ladies at Tescos sent her but then today, Master Frugal came home from school with this Lizard. It's not just any lizard, it's a very special lizard. They're only given out to little boys who get all of their spellings right in the weekly spelling test at school! Yeay....Only a couple of weeks ago I was really worried because he just had no interest in learning and seemed a bit behind his friends so I asked all my wonderful Twitter … [Read more...]
A Romantic Love Note….
Who say's romance is dead.... First I was presented with a fluffy Rolo from Mr Frugal and today I was the lucky recipient of a love note........Written in the fat from the burgers we had for tea last night! We always make our own burgers but I couldn't be bothered to cook much last night as we've all got the dreaded lurgy. I dug out some burgers from the depths of our freezer and we decided to have burgers in buns and curly fries with corn on the cob. I can't believe the amount of fat that came of the burgers, it's disgusting - we'll definitely be sticking to our homemade ones in … [Read more...]
