I have a Moshi Monster related dilemma but it's not what you'd think - I'm not about to ask you what you think about letting children on Moshi Monsters (an online game where children adopt and care for a monster) as that ship's already sailed. Miss Frugal's been playing on there for more than a year now and Master Frugal has just set up his own little monster so he can play online too.My dilemma is actually about those little collectable Moshi Monster collectable figures you can buy - the ones that are £1.99 for a pack of two but you don't know which ones you're getting until you've … [Read more...]
Growing up is hard (and expensive)….
It's not easy this parenting lark is it?Not so long ago, birthday parties for Miss Frugal and her friends consisted of an hour at soft play followed by some jelly and ice cream but now at the grand old age of nine, those days seem to be long gone. In the last few months alone we've had a limo party, a pamper party, a nail art party and this week, tea at Pizza Hut. Preparations for the parties have changed as well - there's no more cute frilly party dresses for a start. Getting ready now takes a lot longer and involves carefully selected (by her not me) outfits and a handbag … [Read more...]
Our week in Instagram – 8 January 2012….
Designer Labels – a waste of money or worth every penny….
I've had a bit of an up and down week this week but one lovely thing did happen at work the other day completely out of the blue - I received a long service award as I've worked with the same company for 10 years.I was given a lovely framed certificate thanking me for my work, along with a silver engraved keyring, a silver photo holder and a small catalogue of gifts to choose from. The gifts were really impressive (to me anyway) - matching his and hers Armani watches, a Tissot watch, a Radley Cheadle bag and a Links of London Sweetie bracelet among other things.I decided to go for the … [Read more...]
My week in Instagram – 31/12/11….
I couldn't really blog on New Years Eve without wishing you a Happy New Year could I? So......I'll probably be back tomorrow with my New Years Resolutions as I love to sit and write a list of resolutions on New Years Day but tonight I wanted to share with you (or at least those of you who are not out partying or too drunk to see a computer screen) the first of my resolutions.I've started to use my Iphone as my main camera lately, mostly because my DSLR is too big and bulky to carry everywhere with me and also because it's actually a really good little camera. I use an app called … [Read more...]
What I’ve learned this week….
I've learned that I must be more specific when giving instructions!I took Buddy for his pre-Christmas cut this week and asked the lady to cut him shorter than last time as he's taken to rolling around in the mud which is a nightmare to get out of his fluffy coat. I left him in the shop blissfully unaware that what the lady actually thought I'd said was 'Please shave all the hair of my cute fluffy puppy'.This is the photo I took last time he had a hair cut....This is him now... He's now walking round with an air of slight embarrassment about him and is … [Read more...]
