Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Tooth Fairy…?
A very exciting event has occurred this evening in the Frugal household - Master Frugal has lost his first tooth!At least it was exciting until it dawned on him that the tooth fairy would be paying him a visit tonight while he was asleep. To cut a long story short, after ten minutes of tears and trying to persuade him that the tooth fairy isn't evil, the tooth is now sitting on our TV cabinet in the living room. There was no persuading him to put it under his pillow so this was daddy's compromise (it was that or we were going to have to drop it off at Grandad's so the tooth fairy could … [Read more...]
Boys will be boys (or girls)….
Mr Frugal and I have an ongoing battle of sorts about Master Frugal and his love of his sister's toys. Personally I think it's only natural that he wants to play with Miss Frugal's toys but Mr Frugal encourages him to play only with his own toys and tries to stop him from playing with what he sees as 'girly' toys.For example, I'm quite happy to go for a walk with the kids both pushing pushchairs with dolls in them but Mr Frugal wouldn't come with us if I let them do this! He thinks that girls should play with dolls and dress up and that boys should play with guns and cars and he … [Read more...]
What am I afraid of….
Thank you to the lovely Nickie over at Typecast for tagging me in the latest meme doing the rounds of the blogosphere - What are you afraid of? This one is ideal for me because I'm a bit of a worrier by nature so I'm afraid of lots of things, most of them irrational. The two that make Mr Frugal laugh are my kitchen cupboard fear and my straight stair phobia so rather than bore you by telling you about my 'normal' fear of spiders (evil creatures), injections (had a bad experience) and rollercoasters (what the point of them) I thought I would tell you about my weird phobias. Before I do … [Read more...]
Mmmm McDonalds….
McDonalds? Do you love it or hate it?I must admit that I'm a fan. Some of my earliest memories are from when I used to go down town every Saturday with my mam and my brother, my mam used to like to trawl the charity shops looking for bargains (she always found them aswell) and by the end of the afternoon me and my brother were sick of following her around and she was tired from all her bargain hunting so we stopped in the newly opened McDonalds for a drink. To this day, the smell of McDonalds reminds me of shopping with my mam ;-)Fast forward 20 (ish) years and McDonalds is now a … [Read more...]
