I blogged about my unsuccesful Yorkshire Puddings a while back (here) and I thought I would share today's attempt with you as Miss Frugal decided to try her hand at making them this afternoon.We used the same recipe as always, which is 100g plain flour, 2 eggs and half a pint of milk but I think Miss Frugal has the magic touch because she managed to make these beauties:I think she's the next Nigella ;-) … [Read more...]
A trip to the park….
Despite the fact that it was like the artic outside today, we decided to have a walk to the park and feed the ducks. One of the geese took a particular liking to Miss Frugal....Which was all very well until she ran of bread....Then it started to have some sort of psycho fit....

School Holiday Letters….
Dear ChildrenI love you both more than anything but following our rather stressful day yesterday, I think it would be a good idea to lay down some school holiday ground rules:* Just because it's the school holidays, you do not need to be doing something every minute of the day! I do not have the time, money or patience to constantly entertain you every minute of every day.... * When I go to the trouble of setting up the paints or the playdough then I expect it to take slightly more than 5 minutes before you declare that you are bored.... * If I tell you that we can't do something because (a) … [Read more...]
