I know it's not ideal to get parenting tips from Harry Enfield but when I think about my children growing up, I always picture Kevin from that Harry Enfield sketch - you know the one where he goes to bed on the eve of his thirteenth birthday as a sweet, loving twelve year old and gets up the following morning as a moody, hormonal teenager.Unfortunately, Miss Frugal has decided to ignore the Harry Enfield book of parenting and has started her teenage moods early which I'm finding extremely challenging at the moment. To be fair the moods are few and far between but we've had a couple in the … [Read more...]
Possibly the worst hairstyle you’ll ever see….
I posted this a few months ago originally but seeing as it's my worst ever fashion disaster, I decided to repost it to enter in to the April Tots 100 Blog Hop. Afer all, you couldn't possibly get more of a disaster than that hair could you?Miss Frugal has just discovered that our new printer has a built in scanner so you can imagine what we've been doing tonight.

Our Girly Weekend in London….
A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to be invited to London Zoo for the day by Vosene and although we were all invited, I decided to leave Master Frugal at home with his dad and just take Miss Frugal for a girly weekend. The purpose of the Vosene event was to let us know that they are on the hunt to find the Vosene Family of 2011. Basically, each month they are focusing on a different value such as, sharing, belonging, fun, time together and trust and they're be asking families to upload a photo and up to 100 words on what that means to them. Once uploaded, your family and friends get to … [Read more...]
