After reading an interesting discussion over on Blogger.Ed that started out about how competitive bloggers were and turned into people sharing the reasons why they blogged, I decided to share with you the reason why I blogI've said before that the reason I blog is to record my children's childhood for them (and for me) and that one day, I hope to print the whole thing out and give a copy to each of them. Before I blogged I made memory booksfor them and I do update them from time to time aswell but my main record is this blog.I became slightly obsessed with keeping a record of … [Read more...]
The morning after the night before….
If anyone was wondering how my night out last night went, you don't need to wonder anymore, I can tell you in two words - IT DIDN'T. I was so organised that I suprised even myself. I apologised in advance for the behaviour I was sure to exhibit after a few bottles glasses of wine, arranged a baby sitter as Mr Frugal was at work, bought a nice new top and some nice spangly nail polish and located my dancing shoes ;-) I even managed a nice relaxing soak in the bath while the kids were at their after school sports club and was really looking forward to the evenings festivities. I arrived at … [Read more...]
Advance Warning….
Dear Mr FrugalJust a quick note to let you know that I'll be going out to a works do tomorrrow night. I wanted to give you advance warning that not only will there be welcome cocktails and lots of bottles of wine on the tables, there will also be 5 free drinks vouchers for everyone.As a result, there is a chance that I will be slightly tipsy when I get home, therefore, I would appreciate it if you could ensure that I am put to bed in my bed and not the sofa (or wherever I drop).Also I would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for waking the children up when I … [Read more...]
How old is old enough….
According to Miss Frugal, now she's 8 she's practically grown up. This means that she expects to be able to do things that she hasn't been allowed to do before, I'm a bit more easy going than Mr Frugal so we're had a few arguments discussions over what she can and can't do. So, I thought I would ask your opinion on how old you think is old enough........For a mobile phone She's had a mobile for a while now and always carries it round in her little handbag. The phone that she had was the most basic model ever made and was fine for a 7 year old but an 8 year old needs a much better … [Read more...]
The Secret to a Successful Birthday Party….
Well, I don't really have the secret to a successful party but I am feeling pretty pleased with myself after the success of Miss Frugal's 8th Birthday pamper party this afternoon. All seven girls who were invited turned up (I always worry everyone will forget) and we were having that much fun that the two hours flew by. Everyone's just left and I thought I'd have a nice cuppa before I get started with Operation Clean Up ;-) At one point I thought the party was destined to be a disaster, first the hairdressers I booked for the party closed down, then I got an ear infection which meant I've … [Read more...]
Saturday Nights….
I love Saturday nights.... It's my favourite night of the week - laptops, mobiles and computers are banned (although I do keep an eye on Twitter through X Factor as some of the comments are hilarious!) and from about five ish, we settle down for some 'quality family time', which usually involves an XBox 360 Bomberman tournament, a few board games and obviously the obligatory Saturday night X Factor fest.Movie Night with popcorn ;-) After the kids go to bed we usually snuggle up with a takeaway and watch a film. I usually always have a nice bottle of vino chilling in the fridge as I have … [Read more...]
