I love some of the things kids say, Miss Frugal has just seen an advert on TV for personal loans and asked if she could get one so that she could buy the new doll she is after.The doll she wants is a baby version of one she already has! Just when I thought we had every type of doll on the market - we have one who crawls and has tantrums, one who poos and cries, one who's ill and cries, one who swims, and her all time favourite - the one that does nothing and cost about a fiver.Anyway to cut a long story short, we've decided to introduce a reward … [Read more...]
Donkey Derby….
I love weekends!Today's been another lovely day, although it didn't exactly go according to plan! We were originally going to go have a paddle in the sea and an ice cream followed by a nice afternoon in the garden with a BBQ but the weather was a bit on the chilly side so we ended up having a quick walk on the beach followed by a visit to the boot sale and a movie afternoon at home.The kids had a ride on the donkeys at the beach, Miss Frugal loves anything horsey and has had a few horseriding lessons so she was over the moon to be having a ride on a donkey. She chose … [Read more...]
Ice-creams and Vegetables….
We've had a lovely day today in the sunshine,a nice relaxing morning followed by a trip to the park, a visit to the beach and topped off with ice creams.It might be a good idea here to point out that he trapped his middle finger in a gate at the park which is why he has it stuck up....The picture quality isn't too good as we were using Mr Frugal's I phone but they're actually better quality than I thought they would be. We've also finally got around to planting our vegetable pots - we have carrots, brocolli and tomatoes although we're probably going to get a few more tomorrow if we … [Read more...]
Teddy Bear’s Picnic….
Despite the fact that it's not exactly picnic weather outside, Miss Frugal has decided to have a teddy bears picnic in the back garden. She's out there with her favourite teddy bears and some chocolate spread sandwiches trying to look like she's not freezing cold. I think she's trying to catch the attention of the little girl who lives out the back of us but she's having no luck so far bless her.My sensible little boy has decided to have his picnic indoors as apparently his teddies wanted to watch Ben 10 they ate their sandwiches. … [Read more...]
Happy Easter….
We've had a brilliant day today, which is a relief because at midnight last night I was downstairs with Master Frugal throwing up everywhere. I think he must have just eaten too much chocolate but last night I thought he might have had that stomach bug that's going around so I was really relieved when he got up this morning right as rain.As the weather looked OK, we decided to go to Ormesby Hall for the Cadbury's Easter Egg Hunt this afternoon. We had to find nine pictures of Easter eggs around the gardens and the woods. We found a few other things in the woods like this owl … [Read more...]
Did I mention, I hate Mess….
I have to admit my least favourite activity with the kids is painting, however, this just happens to be their favourite thing to do so yesterday I gave in and we painted. I bought three tubs of paint - red, yellow and blue and gave them a little tray (tupperware lid) to mix any other colours up. Master Frugal was very impressed when he managed to make green all by himself ;-)All was going well until we decided to try some handpainting, this is the bit that I hate!We made some lovely pictures and at least I have got the obligatory school holidays painting session … [Read more...]
