We've gone for a bit of a change this year with a red and gold colour schemed tree in place of the usual lilac and silver ornaments that we use and surprisingly (because I loved the old colours), I really like it. It feels a lot more traditional and makes me want to fill it with lovely rustic style decorations so I'm on a mission to make some this month.The first decorations I've made to hang on there are some lovely cinnamon stick decorations that took me minutes to make but look and smell great on the tree. Cinnamon sticks aren't very expensive and I've just had a quick look online at … [Read more...]

Review: Airkix Manchester….
It was taken last weekend at Airkix in Manchester where we had a go an indoor skydiving (by we, I mean everyone but me ;-)). It was an amazing experience and one which I would definitely recommend doing it at least once. I know what you're thinking and it's also not nearly as expensive as you might think with prices starting at £29.99 for two flights for a first time flyer. As well as the actual flights, the price includes a full training and safety briefing by a qualified instructor before you enter the wind tunnel as well as a certificate afterwards. While they were doing their … [Read more...]
Do some brands take advantage of our children?
It's no secret that Miss Frugal is a big One Direction fan - we've been to the concert, seen the movie, bought the (very expensive) T-shirt, paid for the albums and spent pocket money on all sorts of different One Direction memorabilia over the last year or so.So when I saw there was a One Direction perfume being released, I knew she'd be desperate to add a bottle to her growing One Direction collection. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't what we found after following the trail of One Direction cutouts through the shop. I was pleasantly surprised by the … [Read more...]
That’s not what I asked for….
Men (and by men, I mean one man specifically)!Today my beloved husband took Master Frugal to the hairdressers for his back to school trim. I'm pretty sure that I didn't mention the words 'scalp him', skin head or bald when I was describing what sort of cut we usually got which is why I was a little surprised to see this when I got home from work this afternoon....And no, that's not a police mug shot, it's my lovely little boy with a lot less hair than he started the day with.Mr Frugal's explanation? That's not what I asked for! Oh well that's OK then ;-)After I'd … [Read more...]
How to keep children entertained on long car journeys….
A few weeks ago, we went on a car journey - A very long car journey which was made even longer by the fact that the roads were very busy.Despite this, we arrived at our destination a good seven and a half hours after setting off without hearing the words I'm bored more than once or twice and I'm almost positive that you want to know what my secret is, don't you?Well....First of all, each child had their own car bag (we used the Content and Calm tray kits that we were sent a while ago) which I packed for them with the following things:A reading book. A notebook - I printed … [Read more...]
