Have some old fashioned Halloween family fun….
We love Halloween and the kids always make an effort to dress up - even if the costumes only stay on for an hour or so usually!I'm not a fan of trick or treating but the kids are (naturally) so we compromise and I generally take them around the houses we know in the street and then we come home and have some Halloween fun of our own - between answering the door to the constant knocking that is!I thought I'd share some of our Halloween traditions with you....Who needs trick or treating? … [Read more...]
What to do with Conkers….
Have you ever wondered what you can do with conkers, apart from actually playing conkers?I'm guessing your answer is probably no that one.

Listography – Top five films on Netflix (if you’re a 12 year old)….
I love a good list and I also love Netflix so when I saw that last week's Listography was all about the best films on Netflix, I started thinking about my favourite films to share with you.But then Miss Frugal caught me scrolling through the films on there and without saying a word, went and got her pillow and blanket and plonked them at the other end of the settee. She pottered out to the kitchen and came back a few minutes later with a bag of popcorn and a glass of juice and took up her position under the blanket ready to watch a film. ;-)We ended up watching a film together and I … [Read more...]
