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...]
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...]
My Way
Did anyone used to watch Newsround when they were younger? I always used to because it was on just before something I used to watch (Byker Grove maybe) and I used to love the way that they always featured stories that were relevant and interesting to the younger audience. I don't really watch the news these days because its too depressing although I read newspapers over peoples shoulders on my train every morning lol.Anyway, back to my point, one of the websites that I let Miss Frugal look at on the internet is kind of like an online Newsround for young children. First News publish a weekly … [Read more...]
Make a Wish Book….
I hope the snow doesn't last much longer - I am running out of things to keep the kids entertained....I made a 'Wish Book' with Miss Frugal today (Master Frugal was quite happy on the Wii). We cut out about 12 circles out of coloured card and Miss Frugal wrote a different wish on each of them - all things that she wants to do or places that she wants to go to.She spent ages thinking about each wish and carefully wrote each one down. After we had done about 10 we punched a hole in each one and tied them together with some ribbon. Some of the things she wrote down were:I would like to go … [Read more...]
Dear School….
Dear Schoolthis is just a brief note to thank you for letting me know so promptly that you had decided to close the school this morning due to adverse weather conditions.I very much appreciated the telephone call 55 minutes after I had dropped the children off at the school breakfast club and had been on a bus journey to the train station, followed by a train journey and a walk to work through the 6inch thick snow.It was good of you to let me know that my children were the only two children at school and that you supposed someone could stay with them until I was able to get back to collect … [Read more...]
Our snowman has left home….
Why on earth would some try and steal my snowman!It wasn't exactly a work of art, it's eyes and buttons had fallen off and it was looking a bit past it's best but still someone decided to pick it up and carry it down the road where they decided to rehome him in someone else's garden - unharmed and in one piece!Bizarre.On the plus side, at least the snow is falling thick and fast again so we'll be able to build another one this weekend, lets just hope that he doesn't run away from home again. … [Read more...]
