I haven't done a meal plan for the last couple of weeks as we've had a couple of trips to London (more details will follow) and the kids have been ill (now there's a surprise ;-)) but we're back to normal from tomorrow so I'm hoping to be able to stick to our meal plan for the first time in a couple of weeks. I'd love some new ideas for meals though so if you have any great recipes on your blog, leave a message in the comments and I might steal borrow your idea for my next weeks plan.Monday: Bacon, egg, sausages, chips and beans with toast (mmmmmm)Tuesday: Macaroni … [Read more...]
Today is…. A Frugal Family Fun Day….
....A remembering why we're lucky kind of a day. ....A dancing round the living room kind of day. ....A blowing bubbles in the garden kind of day. We made our bubble blowers using some pipe cleaners and the bubble mix was just washing up liquid and water. .... A chalk in the garden kind of day. Note to self: Don't allow children to draw chalk pictures right in front of the front door if you don't want chalky footprints trampled all through the house! What sort of a day are you having today? If you want to join in, just grab the code from the side bar and go for … [Read more...]
Am I one of those mothers….
We're at the age now where Miss Frugal would rather be out playing with her friends than spending time in the house with us - we're boring apparently! The only problem is that all of her friends live in the street behind ours and although it's actually much safer for her to play there as it's a quiet little cul-de-sac, I hate not being able to see her and the fact that she's not within shouting distance (and I can shout VERY loudly). She has a watch but never remembers to look at it and is always losing it so here's my solution:I've given her a stopwatch that she has to wear round her … [Read more...]
What you can’t buy on Ebay….
I've just had one of those moments, you know the ones where you just want the floor to open up and swallow you up! Picture the scene, we've just bumped into one of my work colleagues in Morrisons, I'm looking like you do after the end of a long day and she's looking as glamorous as if she's just done her make up. My children are running wild around the aisles leading her little (perfectly dressed) daughter astray by encouraging her to do the same. Perfect work colleague mentioned that she's just picked up a bargain someone or other designer dress for her little girl and I was just saying … [Read more...]
The Karaoke Song Meme….
I am not blessed with a good singing voice although I love to sing, especially when I'm on my own in the car when I can turn the music right up. I have a few favourites that I love to sing along to, so when Jen tagged me in the Karaoke meme, I knew exactly which song I was going to choose ;-) I considered (for about a milli-second) doing a Vlog of me singing the sing for you all but decided to save your ears and give you a treat instead....Now for the tagging.... NotSoSingleMum, Emma, Maggy, Amy, Becky, Louise and Nicki along with anyone else who wants to join in.... … [Read more...]
