Right, It's confession time.What's the most embarassing thing you have done as a parent? Mine is really bad so please don't hold it against me lol.Big deep breath....I was shopping in Asda a couple of years ago and I had Master Frugal sat in one of the trolleys, as you do. I was having a look at the DVD's and I stepped about two foot away from my trolley to get the one I was after. I put the DVD in the trolley and pushed the trolley over to the CD's and then I saw a nice pink mobile phone so I continued on to there. All normal here you may be thinking but....

Cupcake Challenge….
After reading about English Mum's Cupcake Challenge and looking at the lovely cakes that others had made, I decided that I fancied trying my hand at making some tasty little works of art.However, as usual in the Frugal House, things didn't quite go according to plan.

We didn't have any lemons in so I thought we would use lime for the … [Read more...]
The Contents of My Handbag….
On my travels around Blogland in the last couple of weeks I have read a few posts about the contents of peoples handbags. I think it was a meme that people were getting tagged in but I have decided to jump on in and tag myself lol....This is my handbag, Mr Frugal got it for me for Christmas a few years ago from Next and I used it for a few months and then swapped it for another one that caught my eye (I'm very fickle when it comes to handbags lol).
