Do anyone else's kitchen cupboards look like a corner shop had exploded in them? Mine are in a right mess so my mission today is to sort them out and find ways to use up all the odd bits and bobs that I seem to have accrued. The first thing I came across was half a packet of those flat ice cream cones and I was tempted to just throw them out as we've had them for ages but then I remembered seeing some cupcakes on sale somehere that were baked in these type of cones so.... I though I would have a go.I used my own version of a red velvet cupcake mix which Miss Frugal thought was really … [Read more...]
Do you love anyone enough….

The morning after the night before….
If anyone was wondering how my night out last night went, you don't need to wonder anymore, I can tell you in two words - IT DIDN'T. I was so organised that I suprised even myself. I apologised in advance for the behaviour I was sure to exhibit after a few bottles glasses of wine, arranged a baby sitter as Mr Frugal was at work, bought a nice new top and some nice spangly nail polish and located my dancing shoes ;-) I even managed a nice relaxing soak in the bath while the kids were at their after school sports club and was really looking forward to the evenings festivities. I arrived at … [Read more...]
