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...]
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...]
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...]
What not to do with the kids today….
This morning we decided to use the bif roll of brown parcel paper to draw around each of the kids and let them colour themselves in.... They were having such fun that I let them get on with it while I tidied up and did some jobs and half an hour later I went back to see the finished product. It seems they decided to work together and just colour in the one of Master Frugal... It looked really good until I noticed they had added in a drawing of a willy with wee coming out of it! They wanted to cut it out and stick it on the side of the fridge and can't understand why I wont ;-)I won't share … [Read more...]
Princess Castle Birthday cake….
I found a couple of good cake moulds on e bay but they are all around £15.00 so I thought that I might as well buy the big cake for Asda for that price and not have the stress of making a cake on top of the rest if the usual party stresses. That was until I came across the instructions for how to make a princess castle birthday cake....I have watched this twice and I really think that I could do this and it would look so much better than a shop bought, mass produced one. I am not sure if I dare though in case it all goes wrong!Time for a think.... (Although I am already seeing the admiration … [Read more...]
