I came home from work the other day to a beautiful present - a home made bottle of perfume!Remember when you were little and you thought that if you put petals in a bottle of water it made perfume? Someone (not me) has shared this with Miss Frugal and we now have five bottles of the stuff sitting outside our back door. Anybody want one? … [Read more...]
I’m back….
What with half term last week and the stressful week I've had this week I've not been around much. It's been horrible at work lately as there've been loads of rumours flying round about some big announcement that was coming, I usually try not to get caught up in rumours at work as it's a bit like chinese whispers but this time I just couldn't help it. Anyway, the announcement was made yesterday and while it does affect a lot of my colleagues, I am completely unaffected which is good for me but obviously the people who are affected are upset which makes me sad too. I'm off today to I'm … [Read more...]
You are cordially invited….
Dear ReaderWe would like to cordially invite you to the grand opening of the Frugal Family art gallery.Upon your arrival to our gallery, you will be presented with a welcome cocktail (well fizzy pop in a sugar coated glass with a grape kebab), before being escorted through to the main hall (AKA my living room) where a fantastic display of artwork awaits you.

An alternative use for a wooden spoon….
We were going to make sock puppets today but we had a bit of a disaster when we tried to stick the bits on to the sock. Never one to give up at the first hurdle, we decided to make wooden spoon puppets instead.We didn't use anything special, just some pipecleaners and sparkly bits from our craft box. Predictably, Miss Frugal made a princess and Master Frugal made a scary dragon.Then we made the simplest theatre you've ever seen - Miss Frugal made a sign and stuck it to the front of a box we picked up when we went shopping.It definitely wasn't an oscar winning performance - the … [Read more...]

Teddy Bears Picnic….
What a gorgeous day it is today, we've just had a teddy bears picnic in the garden to make the most of the sunshine, because lets face it, it doesn't usually last too long does it? We made a quick and yummy fruit salad out of nectarines, pears, apples and a banana to share with the assorted teddys and dolls assembled on our picnic blanket but they obviously weren't hungry as they never touched it! We put Miss Frugals Ipod on and had a lovely little chat on the blanket about allsorts. For example, I now know that Miss Frugal has dumped her boyfriend as she thought he had two other … [Read more...]
