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...]

The one with the Brain Scan….
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...]
