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...]
The Gallery – My Favourite Picture….
I've always been a bit photo obsessed, I think it's the idea of capturing a moment forever that I love so much. So to ask me to choose my favourite one is just plain cruel, however, it had to be done as that's the theme for this week's Gallery.I have literally thousands of photo's and my favourite changes constantly but my current favourite is this one:A picture of the beautiful sky we could see from our house last week.... I took it using my Canon EOS 1000D on the night portrait setting - one of these days I'll venture out into the big bad world of the manual settings ;-)If you … [Read more...]
Detention….
When I picked Miss Frugal up from school today her teacher asked if she could have a word with me.... Uh Oh! She said that she had put Miss Frugal in the Behaviour Book and given her detention for tomorrow lunchtime after she had got in trouble today. Apparently, my darling little girl kicked a boy on his shin. Hard. I don't doubt for one minute that it was an accident and she's explained to me that she was playing chase with them and the boy caught her and she just kicked out at him. I believe her completely as I know from watching her with play with her friends at school and at … [Read more...]
