Dear Miss Frugal,
I gave birth to you and have spent the last 12 and a half years living with you so please understand that I know you. I know when you’re up to something and I know that you don’t spend almost two hours tidying and cleaning your bedroom without some sort of ulterior motive.
Yours suspiciously, Mam.

Dear Purse,
Please help me.
If for any reason I give in to whatever Miss Frugal is after, I need you to stop me from parting with our money. Just pretend your zip is jammed or hide the money among the three million recipients that are currently clogging you up.
Yours desperately, Me
*************************
Dear Mr Frugal,
In future, if your daughter asks for a reward for tidying her bedroom – Just Say No!
Or, send her my way and I’ll put her straight.
Love from your angry wife

Dear Miss Frugal,
Clever, very clever.
You win this time!
Yours admiringly, Mam

Oh dear!! I dread these teenage years!
Oh I'm loving this, I do love it when they think that they are getting one over us and then eventually do
my hubby ios a soft touch too with my daughter
Haha what a clever girl. Luckily mine aren't this smart.
That girl will go far!
Hahaha familiar!! My daughter has managed to wangle things out of her Dad that I have said no to – and as we are already divorced me getting angry does no good at all!
To be honest, getting my 12 year old to do any tidying would be worth the money. Last time I got cross about the state of her room she paid her younger sister to do it for her, in exchange for one of her easter eggs.
These tweets are too smart!
Love your post and your cheeky daughter!
Brilliant! I am so glad that this linky is back, I really missed it. And well done Miss Frugal 🙂
hahaha Tweens are clever things aren't they. I have one here which is just as sneaky. lol x
Ohh Cass, who has she been learning her clever tactics off??? I do love your note to your purse. fabulous, Mich x
Hahaha! This made me giggle out loud. Oh dear…
I can totally see my husband doing this with our girls. My eldest is nearly four and she's already starting to play us off against each other. If one of us says no she will try the other, just in case. I've started texting him to warn him if I've said no to something and she's disappeared off in search of him!
