You might think that because I have a week off work, I'm going to try out some new and exciting recipes and spend more time in the kitchen preparing our meals.But you'd be wrong ;-)I plan to put as little effort as possible into everything this week as I'm going to be mostly sitting on my settee with a cuppa watching daytime TV and having as many Nana-naps as I can squeeze in while the kids are at school.So his week's meal plan will be brought to you with the magic of my trusty slow cooker and will involve little or no imagination, creativity of effort....

Tell us a story – The final installment….
A while ago, Laura from Tired Mummy of Two started a story and the idea was that every day someone else would write the next part of the story and so on until we got to the end. Well, today is the last part of the story and it's my turn to finish it up. Have a read of the other bits of the story before you read mine and then let me know what you think of the ending - I'm pretty sure it won't end the way you think it will or the way you want it too but I do like a bit of a twist.... Yesterday Jayne from Mums the Word left the story like this: Laura thought for a moment, the events of … [Read more...]

What would you do Wednesday – Splash the cash or be sensible and save….
We won the lottery last week!Not enough that we can give up work or anything but the £5.90 we won is better in our pocket than someone elses isn't it?It did get us thinking though about what we would do if we did win a larger amount. What if we won, say £10,000, would we use it to pay off debts, mortgage and grown up stuff or would be go our and splurge on treats?I know that the best thing to do would be to use all of it to be sensible but as I said to Mr Frugal when we were talking about it, I think I'd use some of it to go on holiday and maybe buy a new car and some … [Read more...]
