You know when your children are quiet for more than 15 minutes and you start to worry about what they're up to?Well yesterday, Miss Frugal got herself some paper and a pen and sat at the dining room table for almost an hour in silence. She was making a list (I know, I'm so proud) of things that she would buy if she had a lot of money and when she was done, she made her list into this:I love the things she would buy although I do feel guilty about the felt tips that work one - I could possibly stretch our budget to that one without having to wait until we win the lottery ;-) I'm not … [Read more...]
