I have just played a writing game with Miss Frugal that she really enjoyed so I thought I would share it with you.All I need was write the first line of a story and then I let Miss Frugal do the next line. We took it in turns writing and ended up with a little story.We started spashing in puddles and ended up with having a brain freeze after having a slush puppy at the Wacky Warehouse!!!I'm not sure what to do for the rest of the day. Its not very nice weather and we have already been bowling (Hollywood Bowl 1p each during half term mornings) and to the pictures to see Fantastic Mr Fox. On … [Read more...]
Clutter Cupboard….
Does anyone else have a clutter cupboard like mine:I know its not a cupboard, it's a bookshelf but 'Clutter Bookshelf' doesn't sound as catchy does it?My clutter 'cupboard' is right by the door in our living room and is used as a dumping ground for everything. I considered getting rid of it but the room has no other storage and things would only get left on the floor if we didn't have it. In theory the kids have a shelf each and I have one too, Mr Frugal has his computer desk in the kitch so he doesn't get one (Aaaaaaaaw).I am thinking of revamping it (obviously in frugal fashion) but am not … [Read more...]
Struggling at School….
As a parent, the one thing that I want is for my children to be happy. Which is why I am really upset that Master Frugal is having problems settling in at school, his teacher had a word with me on Monday and said that he had had a few tears at school that day for apparently no reason. The same happened again yesterday. I have asked him about it and he just said he was lonely and missed me! Miss Frugal also said that she has come out from lunch once or twice and seen him in tears (I'm not sure why she didn't tell me before though).When I dropped the kids off this morning, I had another word … [Read more...]
A Cot For Heart Dolly….
Have you noticed how expensive dolls are for kids these days.... Miss Frugal has all the 'in' dolls and they have cost a fortune over the last couple of birthday's and christmas'. We have 'Baby Annabel' who spookily moves her head to face you when you talk to her, we have 'Mommy make me better' who needs medicine and injections to shut her up and we have 'Baby Born' who needs feeding constantly to keep her quiet. The funny thing is although she always goes mad for the latest doll on TV, she always goes back to her favourite - a £7.00 doll from Toys R Us that she has had for years. So she has a … [Read more...]
Quick Slimming World Meal….
Mmmm, I have just made a super quick Quorn chilli that is free on Slimming World and yummy enough for anyone.All I did was mix a tin of baked beans with a tin of tomatoes in a pan. I added some Quorn chunks that I had in the freezer and a bit of chilli powder and then just let it all cook for about 10 minutes. I couldn't be bothered to cook rice (it always sticks to my pan) so I just put it on top of a jacket spud and topped it with some fat free fromage frais...... It was gorgeous. … [Read more...]
Crispy cakes….
It's ok, I'm not about to post a recipe for crispy cakes as they're not exactly hard to make are they? I just wanted to show you the crispy cakes that Miss Frugal made herself for her birthday party last week. We used about some frosties and a huge block of Tescos own brand chocolate (not the value one but the next one up) and sprinkled some sprinkles on them before the chocolate set again. … [Read more...]
