When Miss Frugal decided that she wanted to get her ears pierced, the question she kept asking was 'does it hurt when you get your ears pierced' and when I say kept asking, I mean she asked it repeatedly for about a week before she managed to convince herself to take the plunge!She was terrified before getting it done, so much so that I think the lady in the shop thought we were forcing her to get them done and kept asking her if she was sure. It also didn't help that the lady who was doing them for her kept nipping over to the till to serve other people as she got more nervous the longer … [Read more...]
#SummerofFrugalFun – how to make a children’s Treasure Hunt….
Today we've been making a treasure hunt for Mr Frugal when he comes in from work and it took me back to the ones we used to do for the kid when they were younger. We haven't done one for ages though so we thought it was time to sort that out! We're starting with one for Mr Frugal - mainly because he's not in at the minute so clue writing and hiding is much easier but also because we haven't seen him in a week as we've been away so the kids wanted to do something for him as a surprise.Obviously, the idea of a treasure hunt is to follow a series of clues that will ultimately lead you … [Read more...]
Win tickets to visit Thorpe Park this Summer….

Our favourite bits from week 2 of our Summer holidays….
Ear piecing for boys – yay or nay….
Today Miss Frugal is going to get her ears pierced. Possibly.I'm happy for her to get them done, after all, I had mine done when I was younger than her but we've been away the last week and we'd decided that today was going to be the day as I want her to have had them in for as long as possible before she goes back to school in September.But she's woken up today and can't decide if she really does want them doing, so we'll have to see what happens.One person who very definitely does want pierced ears (or rather ear to be more precise) is Master Frugal who is desperate to have his … [Read more...]
The best way to watch Sunderland Airshow….
We look forward to the Sunderland Airshow every year and every year we go, get stuck in lots of traffic on our way to the park and ride, watch some fantastic flying displays and then get stuck in lots more traffic on the way home. The Airshow itself is amazing,especially for Mr Frugal who like to think of himself as a bit of an expert because he can name most of the planes that we see, but the traffic that we inevitably get stuck in usually means that the day isn't as enjoyable as it could be.So we had high hopes for this years Airshow when we were invited to watch it from a DFDS ferry … [Read more...]
