Miss Frugal is very into my laptop at the moment as she got a pink diamante studded mouse for Christmas with a Bratz doll. The doll itself was very strange and comes with several interchangeable heads but thats another story.Anyway, she loves to play on here but as she is only seven she only goes on the sites that I bring up for her (dreading when she gets a bit older and wants to do it herself) and we generally look at them together but......

Mario Kart DS is driving me mad….
As you may remember, Master Frugal got a Nintendo DS for Christmas. He absolutely loves it and has hardly put it down since he unwrapped it. The fact that he is playing on his DS has also renewed Miss Frugal's enthusiasm for hers and they have discovered that as they both have Mario Kart they can play against each other, even when they are in different rooms!Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh - I am hearing the tune from the game in my sleep. Literally. I got up for a wee in the night and I could have sworn that I could hear the tune, I even went into both of their bedrooms to check but they were both fast … [Read more...]
