We've been watching the weather all week with our fingers crossed for good weather because today was our school's annual family day. It's a great day which starts with the whole school performing a concert outside with a local band, followed by a whole school family picnic and barbecue on the field and after that there's ice creams and rides for the kids (all free) - it's such a lovely thing for the school to do - the kids look forward to it every year and it always surprises me that so many parents make such an effort to be there. It makes me feel all warm and fluffy and proud to be part of … [Read more...]
What’s your ‘can’t live without’ App….
I'm not of those people who is always playing on their phone. Honest ;-)But I did realise today when I went to work without my phone that I do feel a little lost when I don't have my phone with me.Without my phone, I couldn't check how well my things were selling on eBay and I couldn't check and see if a payment I was expecting to my Paypal account had been made. I couldn't check the next train home and I couldn't Youtube a video that I'd been telling my friends about (this one). I couldn't see what everyone was up to on Facebook and I missed a fantastic Instagram photo opportunity … [Read more...]
Can money buy you happiness….
Mr Frugal and I were talking about what we'd do if we won the lottery the other day (as you do) when Miss Frugal piped up with what she'd buy with her winnings.... I'd buy a horse, a mansion, a new bed, some dogs, loads of clothes and make up, all of the ultra rare moshi monsters, a Bugati Veyron (too much Top Gear I think), a pink suitcase, another horse..... I tried to give her a life lesson at this point by explaining that money can't make you happy but I was fighting a losing battle with this one I think. Her answer to me? But Mam, if I had all that stuff I wouldn't have time to be … [Read more...]
Where I live – Indoors….
I love where my house but I've been thinking for a while that it's in need of a style makeover due to the builders love of magnolia and my lack of decorating since we moved in. So, when I read a post by Michelle from The American Resident about some of the treasures in her home I was pretty sure that I wouldn't have much to write about from my home.But then I saw lots of other bloggers joining in and posting about their homes. My inner nosey person was in her element and had such a good time looking at the posts and seeing what other peoples houses were like and I really wanted to join … [Read more...]
Saturday is Caption Day – the wet one….
It's been a while since I joined in Annie's Saturday is Caption Day Linky but even as I was taking this picture, I knew it would be perfect to caption!We've been loving the weather this week and we've took full advantage because you never know how long it's going to last for do you? There's been barbecues, picnic teas, playing at the park, playing at the beach, ice creams and lots of water fights - in fact, I could do with a bit of rain to keep us in the house so I can catch up on everything ;-)So what do you think would be a great caption for this photo?Oh and what you can't see … [Read more...]
Can you ever have too many photos….
Last Sunday something traumatic happened to me.Before I tell you what happened, I understand that it may not have been as traumatic to you if it had happened to you but to me, who takes photos of everything so I never miss a moment or a memory, it was traumatic.So, I came downstairs on Sunday morning, all bleary eyed and in need of caffeine and found Master Frugal fast asleep under a blanket on the living room floor with his arm around the dog who was also fast asleep. My first thought, naturally, was to grab my phone so I could take a picture before either of them woke up or moved to … [Read more...]
