1. Miss Frugal really wanted to go to a Firework display last night but the one in our town wasn't on this year and the only ones we knew about in nearby towns are notorious for the gridlocked traffic getting out of the areas afterwards. So instead of driving to one of these displays, we put our wellies on, wrapped up and headed to the beach with the dog where we got to watch hundreds of fireworks going off across the whole town.We didn't even have our usual sparklers in the garden this year but I liked last years photos that much that I thought I'd share them again. ;-)2.

Who needs a Scanner when you have a phone…
Last week I had to scan some receipts so I could claim back some expenses so off I headed to the garage (our printer/scanner is in the garage as I like it tidy and out of the way) but it wouldn't turn on for some reason which wasn't particularly convenient as I was already late sending the receipts off.I poked the scanner a bit, turned it on and off and did what anyone with my level of technical knowledge would do - I sighed dramatically and stormed back into the house!I then had a bit of a whinge on Facebook (as you do) and someone suggested that I just download a scanning app!Why … [Read more...]

Has THAT ad really ruined Christmas….
Yesterday morning I got a message from one of my friends to ask if I'd seen what was going on over at the Paypal Facebook page. I hadn't but seeing as I'm nosey and don't like to miss out of drama I obviously headed over there immediately to find out what was going on.What I found there was a lot of outraged and upset parents saying that Paypal had ruined Christmas, broken the hearts of children and basically made sure that this year's Christmas isn't magical.And just how had they done this?

Can you believe it's November already?It's been pretty mild here again so we've still not got around to putting the heating on but I suspect that the weather's going to turn soon and I'm guessing it'll be a different story this time next week!
