I love my job, but sometimes, I really wish that I didn't have to work and today is definitely one of those days.I left for work this morning at twenty past seven leaving Mr Frugal to handle the morning school routine alone. I checked my phone just before I went in to work and noticed that I'd missed a message from Miss Frugal telling me that her nose hurt. I knew she was at home with her Dad so I quickly sent her a text asking if she was better and then forgot all about it.At half past two, I came out of work and checked my phone - not only was there a couple of missed calls from … [Read more...]
Our night with Olly….
Last Tuesday night we went to see Olly Murs at the Metro Arena in Newcastle for the opening night of his UK tour.It was originally just supposed to be just me and Miss Frugal going but at the last minute we bought two extra tickets from one of our friends who wasn't able to go so we all went (although we weren't all sat together thankfully). I was sat right near the front with Miss Frugal and Master Frugal was sat with his Dad a bit further back.We had a great view where we were sat and Miss Frugal alternated between singing, dancing and screaming madly and standing quiet staring as … [Read more...]

This week’s meal plan – with a lot of help from the slow cooker….
Yeay - we've successfully got through another week without illness! I think the germs may have finally got the hint and left us ;-)It's a bit of a busy week this week, I started my new job today so am working full time for a little while until I'm up to speed with my new role. I'm really looking forward to the job itself but not sure about the longer hours - even if it is only temporary. I have a feeling that the slow cooker is going to really earn it's keep this week!Monday - Tonight we had fish and chips using the lovely breaded fish fillets that we got reduced from £4.00 to £1.45 … [Read more...]
