When I was younger I had a really simple view of what life was going to be like when I grew up, I was going to meet the man of my dreams, have a huge white wedding, produce several very well behaved children and give up work while my well paid husband supported me. However, as with lots of childhood dreams, it didn't quite turn out that way, although I was lucky enough to find the almost perfect man!Mr Frugal works really hard, often starting at 4am but he's far from being well paid bless him. I have a pretty well paid job and earn almost double what he does, I work full time hours over … [Read more...]

Cupcakes….
Anyone who knows me knows how much of a cookbook freak I am, I have loads but hardly ever use them for recipes - I just like to look at the pictures and dream.... I have had the occasional go though and one particular memory of chilli and chorizo scallops springs to mind - I won't go into it but it's safe to say that we haven't had scallops since ;-) I've also had more than one disaster with chocolate mousses and it's probably best if I don't even mention my previous risotto issues! Anyway, my various disasters haven't put me off buying cookbooks and when I went shopping yesterday I heard … [Read more...]
The Ugly Truth….
I have been tagged in the Kreativ Blogger Award meme by the very talented Resewn Sally. I'm supposed to tell you seven things about myself that I would rather you didn't know and then tag seven other people. I don't have any deep dark secrets so this isn't exactly going to shock you but I'll do my best: I live in a beautiful new build house and have lived here for over a year now - I try to tell myself that I like the minimalistic look but really I've just been too lazy to sort out curtains for most rooms. I am the bad mother who lets her daughter go to school in pink shoes, … [Read more...]

Another Frugal Hospital Visit…. The Lost Post
What a nightmare few days we've had. Poor Miss Frugal's feet haven't got any better and I couldn't get her in to any of the chiropodists round here as they all said while she was on antibiotics they couldn't do anything!I kept her off school yesterday and as I was at work, my dad took her back to the doctors for me. As it was an emergency appointment they had to sit and wait for over an hour until she could be seen! When she finally got in it was a different doctor to the one I saw last week, he took one look at her feet and said she had to go straight to the paediatric ward at the … [Read more...]
