I hope the snow doesn't last much longer - I am running out of things to keep the kids entertained....I made a 'Wish Book' with Miss Frugal today (Master Frugal was quite happy on the Wii). We cut out about 12 circles out of coloured card and Miss Frugal wrote a different wish on each of them - all things that she wants to do or places that she wants to go to.She spent ages thinking about each wish and carefully wrote each one down. After we had done about 10 we punched a hole in each one and tied them together with some ribbon. Some of the things she wrote down were:I would like to go … [Read more...]

Dear School….
Dear Schoolthis is just a brief note to thank you for letting me know so promptly that you had decided to close the school this morning due to adverse weather conditions.I very much appreciated the telephone call 55 minutes after I had dropped the children off at the school breakfast club and had been on a bus journey to the train station, followed by a train journey and a walk to work through the 6inch thick snow.It was good of you to let me know that my children were the only two children at school and that you supposed someone could stay with them until I was able to get back to collect … [Read more...]
Our snowman has left home….
Why on earth would some try and steal my snowman!It wasn't exactly a work of art, it's eyes and buttons had fallen off and it was looking a bit past it's best but still someone decided to pick it up and carry it down the road where they decided to rehome him in someone else's garden - unharmed and in one piece!Bizarre.On the plus side, at least the snow is falling thick and fast again so we'll be able to build another one this weekend, lets just hope that he doesn't run away from home again. … [Read more...]
Back to Real Life….
Has anyone noticed that Cadbury's Cream Eggs are in the shops again.... How mad is that? The decorations have just come down and the kids are picking out their Easter eggs!Anyway moving swiftly on, Master Frugal is still hobbling around feeling sorry for himself. We took him back to the hospital yesterday and they have redressed his poorly foot and told us to go back again tomorrow for a further assessment. The nurse said that she 'thinks' his toenail will grow back!I hate feet, let alone a foot with a toenail missing, I hope it grows back quick.Miss Frugal has kindly taken a photo of the … [Read more...]
Stressful Afternoon….
First of all: AAAAAAAAGH (that was me screaming)What started out as a lovely afternoon rapidly went downhill today.As it's been snowing quite heavily again around here we decided to build another snowman. Not just your average snowman, but a giant snowman. Mr Frugal wanted to build a giant snowman so that ours was bigger than the snowman over the road (that's why the kids call him competitive dad lol). So we rolled three big snowballs, and stacked them up and Pattie 2 was born. Taller than the kids it was a wonder she managed to stay upright! We went inside to get warm and watch Beverly … [Read more...]
