They really are the stuff that nightmares are made from! They look horrific and I have no idea why, but I still … [Read more...]
How to separate an egg – the easy no-mess way….
I've always wondered how to separate an egg without making a mess as I usually end up getting my hands covered in egg when I try to do it and it often takes me more than one attempt to do it right!Not so long ago, someone at work told me what their secret was to separating eggs and at the time I remember that I just nodded my head and smiled whilst thinking to myself that their method would clearly never work.But then last night when we were making sugar mice we needed to separate an egg so I decided to give it a go and to my amazement, it actually worked so I enlisted Miss Frugal's … [Read more...]

Teaching children about Money – Chores….
Welcome to this week’s teaching children about money post which is all about paying children for doing jobs around the house.Personally I believe that children are a part of the family and should therefore be helping around the house doing some basic chores. Pocket money isn't given to them for doing their designated jobs but it is taken away if they don't do the jobs that we give them!We have a chore chart on the front of the fridge which includes some basic jobs like setting the table, clearing the table, tidying rooms etc and on Saturday and those are the jobs that we expect to be … [Read more...]
