To the 6 people who have found this blog after searching for a 'diary in the shape of a tree' - Sorry, I have no clue why ended up here either! However, if you've found me by searching for the term 'organised mum' then this post may be the one for you. I've decided to dedicate a whole post to sharing as many tips on how to be an organised mum that I can (I aim to please after all ;-))I should be honest before I start though, I'm not one of those perfectly organised people who has everything under control all the time but Google seem to diagree judging by the numbers of visitors they … [Read more...]
All By Myself….
Actually I'm not completely on my own but it is just me and the kids tonight as Mr Frugal has very cleverly agreed to do a night shift at work tonight. Seriously, why would anyone work the night shift if they didn't have to.He says its because I am off tomorrow and he thought that we could spend the day together! He over looked the fact that when he got in at eight in the morning he would be too tired to do anything other than go to bed....Bless him, he didn't quite think it through did he?Tea tonight for the kids was Macaroni Cheese leftovers that I froze last time I made it. To be honest, it … [Read more...]

I need to find a meeting near me but in the meantime I am starting the diet tomorrow. Wish me luck … [Read more...]
American Style Pancakes….
AKA - Them ones that MacDonalds make ;-)Don't you just love kids and their honesty? I told them that we were having pancakes for breakfast this morning and they had the cheek to say they would rather go to MacDonalds! Apparently, MacDonalds pancakes are much nicer than mine.Never one to be outdone, I decided that I was going to make MacDonald's stlye pancakes better than even MacDonalds could make them so I sent them off to play on the Wii and turned to my trusty cookbook collection for some inspiration. After all, I have about a million so I knew one of them would have a recipe in it that … [Read more...]
A Frugal Nature Walk
We decided to follow Make Do Mum's example and still go for a walk even though the weather is really crap outside. We got so wrapped up that you could only see our eyes poking out of the gaps and set off with Miss Frugal clutching her new camera tightly.To be honest, it was cold, wet and the only nature that we saw was a bloody big bird that stared at us while we walked but we still enjoyed ourselves and Miss Frugal took loads of photos. These are her favourite photos....Thanks very much for your other ideas Make Do Mum, now I've got plenty to be going on with for the rest of the weekend. … [Read more...]
Homemade Tortilla Style Wraps….
We had wraps for tea tonight and in true frugal style we even made our own wraps.... They were easy to make, cost practically nothing and have just been declared as 'awesome' by the kids.Homemade wraps350g of plain flour1 teaspoon of salt30ml of olive oil130ml of warm waterI love recipes like this - so simple that Miss Frugal can do all of the measuring and mixing. She takes it so seriously and the measurements have to be exact. I'm more of a 'that'll do' kind of a cook which probably accounts for some of my more un-domestic goddess moments.Throw all the ingredients together in a mixing … [Read more...]
