Yesterday was brain scan day for Miss Frugal. Apart from letting her know what to expect, we'd tried not to talk about the scan too much beforehand as we didn't want to make it into a big thing which we thought would have made her more nervous than she was. Our plan worked to a certain extent as she didn't seem overly concerned about it - until we picked her up from school early yesterday to go to the hospital that is. She was very quiet on the journey there and had a scared look on her face (you know the one, wide eyes, sad mouth) that no amount of cuddling and holding hands would get rid … [Read more...]
The Death of a Kettle….
While I was ill this weekend (I promise that's the last time I'll mention it ;-)), I have a vague recollection of Miss Frugal coming in to my bedroom and telling me that she wanted to wash her bike. She asked if she could use the kettle and I remember grunting my agreement to her plan thinking she would pour a little water on the bike, give it a quick wipe and return the kettle back to it's rightful place. How wrong could I be? Apparently, upon further investigation the bike needed a more thorough clean and not wanting to disturb me - 'You looked very poorly mammy', Miss Frugal decided to … [Read more...]
The Worst Weekend Ever…
You know how when some people get ill, they just carry on with life as normal - well, I am most certainly not one of those people! It started on Sunday morning so Mr Frugal gave me instructions to stay in bed until I felt better, he also provided me with a handy bell to ring if I needed something to save me having to shout. One ring would bring Miss Frugal running, two would bring Master Frugal, three for Mr Frugal and four rings was an emergency that meant I required everyones attention. I'm rather demanding when I'm ill so the bell was duly confiscated after an hour or so. After the … [Read more...]
How to opt out of Facebook’s facial recognition….
Is it just me who's concerned about the new facial recognition technology that Facebook have introduced? In case you haven't heard, Facebook's facial recognition technology means that if you upload a picture to Facebook, the system will scan the other 90 billion photos that it's 600 million members have uploaded to see if any of the faces in your photo match the faces of people who have already been tagged. If it finds a potential match, you'll recieve a message telling you and offering to tag the picture with the persons name. From what I understand the more pictures of someone that are … [Read more...]
Silent Sunday – 12 June 2011….
Girls are Mean…
When I picked Miss Frugal up from school on Tuesday she was much quieter than normal and I could see something was bothering her but she had two friends coming round for tea so I didn't press her to tell me what it was straight away but when they'd gone home, we laid on the settee together and she told me that one of the girls in her class, let's call her 'the nasty one' had written a note about her saying she was a thief and she'd threatened to take this letter home to her foster parents who would be very angry with Miss Frugal. We've had trouble with the nasty one before when she told Miss … [Read more...]
