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...]

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. It beats me how everyone makes their cupcake icing look so perfect and why is it when I want my cakes to be quite flat on top they come out huuuuge?We decided to make mini carrot cakes using the recipe that I followed last weekend (here). 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). It's been living quite happily under my bed until I rediscovered it a few weeks ago.... I have about ten bags under my bed at the … [Read more...]
Do Little Girls Grow up too Soon….
Right, I apologise in advance as this subject has been blogged about all week but as a mother to a seven year old, very feisty, very independent seven year old little girl,I wanted to add my thoughts to the subject. The 'Do little girls grow up too quickly?' debate seems to stem from those now famous pictures of Katie and Peter's little girl, Princess, wearing false eyelashes and from Suri Cruise being hailed as a mini fashion icon. In my opinion Katie Price has crossed a fine line, not with putting false eyelashes on her daughter but by sharing the pictures on a public domain … [Read more...]
Family Fun Day….
Apparently the frugal kids have BIG plans for this weekend. I always know I'm in trouble when I get up and find them both snuggled together in one of their beds - that means they've been plotting!Today they have decided that they want to go to the pictures, followed by swimming and then do a bit of baking. They also want a Wii tournament and a movie night tonight!I don't mind going to the pictures as Planet 51 is on this morning as one of Cineworlds family films so it'll only cost us a pound each. I don't really fancy swimming as I hate the getting dried bit afterwards, it's … [Read more...]
