Hayley over at Single Motherhood Challenges has just blogged about some of her favourite possessions which got me thinking what mine were.....This is my special things cabinet:I got the cabinet from my dad about a year ago and I remember asking people what sort of things they collected as I was going to start a grown up collection to fill my empty cabinet. At the time someone said that I would be surprised how quickly it would fill itself without any effort from me and they were so right.The big letters spelling LOVE were a pressie from Mr Frugal last year, although to be fair I picked them … [Read more...]
Homework Hell….
Right, everyone think of five sentences that describe Florence Nightingale. Done? Now use 4,32,28,+,- and = and makeup as many different sums as you can, then if you wouldn't mind drawing and labelling a plant.If you can do that, you have successfully completed Miss Frugal's (aged 7) homework!I presumed she would know the Florence Nightingale bit but no, she couldn't remember anything about her other than she was a nurse. Thanks god for Google eh!Just so you know (in Miss Frugal's words) :Florence Nightingale was trained to be a nurse.She liked to help the soldier men.She was born in 1820.She … [Read more...]
Dear Spammer….
Dear SpammersI really don't know where you all got my e mail address from although I suspect that I must be on the country's most gullible people database, but I would like to request that you refrain from e mailing me a gazillion times a day trying to sell me your super potent viagara tablets or trying to interest me in a penis extension. A waste of your time and mine as I understand that you need a penis to partake in either of those things and I most definately do not have one (although I will forward the penis extension e mail to Mr Frugal).Whilst I have your attention, I am also … [Read more...]

What a Miserable Day….
It's a bit miserable outside today isn't it? Grey skies and drizzly rain mean that we're not going far today. Miss Frugal is still at her friends house and Master Frugal is really missing her. He's sat on the settee in his Power Ranger's costume with a sad face waiting for her to come back. We decided to look and some happy pictures as I was downloading them from my camera to the computer and these are his favourite four taken yesterday at the playpark. They cheered him up for all of about ten seconds and now he's miserable again! Oh well, lets see if Handy Manny can cheer him up.... I … [Read more...]
My Monthly Budget….
Every few months or so I review our monthly budget to see where we can save a bit extra, it's always me that does this as Mr Frugal genuinely does not have a clue about money. As long as the ATM always gives him a tenner when he wants it then he's a happy bunny ;-)I have done this since last August (here) so I'm hoping there'll be loads of tweaks I can make:Income detailsSalary (after tax) - £2440(combined)Family Allowance - £125Child Tax Credits - £40Total - £2595Household detailsFood Shopping - £250 (Getting better here lol)Mortgage - £812Council tax - £134Gas / Electricity - £110Phone / … [Read more...]
