As a family, we love to travel (although Miss Frugal HATES going on planes) and we try to fit in as much as we can but we're obviously limited by budget and more recently, school holidays. In the not so distant future, we actually all have a week off together so we're going to try and plan a cheap Easter Break 2014 but we can't decided what we want to do. The year before last we went on two holidays abroad and if I'm honest, although we did have a brilliant time, the holidays for me were both slightly marred by the fact that I spent half of my time putting sun block on the kids because we all … [Read more...]

Review: Our afternoon at Cadbury World….
We've been trying to fit in a visit to Cadbury World in Birmingham for a while now but it wasn't until last week that we actually managed to get there and it was only in the car on the way there that I discovered that everyone had their own reasons for being excited about going. You see, I was looking forward to it just because I like to visit new and interesting places with the kids but Mr Frugal was only coming along because he'd heard there would be free chocolate and the kids just wanted to meet an Oompa Loompa ;-)We all enjoyed our visit but Miss Frugal in particular had a great … [Read more...]
Review: Airkix Manchester….
It was taken last weekend at Airkix in Manchester where we had a go an indoor skydiving (by we, I mean everyone but me ;-)). It was an amazing experience and one which I would definitely recommend doing it at least once. I know what you're thinking and it's also not nearly as expensive as you might think with prices starting at £29.99 for two flights for a first time flyer. As well as the actual flights, the price includes a full training and safety briefing by a qualified instructor before you enter the wind tunnel as well as a certificate afterwards. While they were doing their … [Read more...]
Screaming our way around Blackpool Pleasure Beach….
I'm not a fan of any ride that goes faster than the carousel but I do have two children who are a little (although not much) braver than me and who love theme parks of any description. So when we planned a visit to Blackpool with our friends we decided to take them to Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the afternoon.I haven't been to the Pleasure Beach for many, many years and it's changed beyond all recognition to me. For some reason, I had it in my head that it would be a much scaled down version of a theme park - more of a fair but with bigger rides if you know what I mean. Anyone who's … [Read more...]
Adventures at Alnwick Castle….
I know I've not been around much lately and when I have it's really only been to tell you what a great time we're having these holidays but there's only a week left and then normal service will be resumed I promise.For now though we're still in full holiday mode here and we've had another great week filled with new things and new places. On Wednesday we visited Alnwick Castle which is absolutely nothing like I expected it to be.To some, Alnwick Castle is best known for being Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies, others will love the history of the castle and the chance to explore … [Read more...]
