....Part DeuxI actually wrote a very long and detailed account of my trip to the MAD blog awards but I foolishly put the laptop on the settee next to me while having a coughing fit and the dog managed to walk over it and delete the entire post! I'm currently snuggled on the settee running out of energy fast so this is going to be the (much) shortened version!BAD BITSI was the one drinking sparking water all night and coughing every time someone so much as looked at me. In my defence, I now know I have a chest infection and am on antibiotics but it was awful not being able to … [Read more...]
Ironic….
Why is it that the only way I can stop the kids from shouting at each other today is by shouting at them? Why is it that when I tell them off for randomly stopping in the supermarket in case they get hit by a trolley, some grumpy old man catapults me in to the toiley roll aisle with his trolley? Why is is that as soon as I get paid, the gorgeous handbag I've had my eye on in town is now nowhere to be found? Why do the postman and the courier manage to come in the ten minutes that I'm at the shop buying milk for all the cups of tea I anticipate drinking whilSt spending the day waiting in for … [Read more...]
The Gallery – A Happy Memory
I love the theme of this week's Gallery - A Happy Memory. I've just spent a lovely hour with Miss Frugal going through our photos, we're so lucky that we've managed to make so many happy memories together and we had a real problem choosing just one photo but in the end we went for this one. It was taken at Disneyland Paris two years ago and I smile everytime I remember our long weekend there. It was perfect, really magical with not a tear or tantrum in sight for the whole weekend. Everythig about the trip was great, from the journey and the hotel to the rides and meeting the characters … [Read more...]
Trauma at the Skate Park….
This Summer was the Summer of the Scooter - my two played out on theirs every minute that they could, as did all the other kids in the neighbourhood who all have the same type of scooter incidentally). They put them in the boot of the car and took them everywhere we went and got them out at every opportunity for a quick scoot around and whenever we had some sun, we packed them up in the car and went to play with them at the beach as the kids love scooting down the ramp that the fishing boats use to get down to the beach.So you can see why I thought that a trip to the local skate park … [Read more...]
Things I want you to know about Daddy….
In years to come, my children can learn lots about me by reading this blog. I've shared a lot on here about myself in the last couple of years - everything from childhood memories to greatest fears along with lots of other things along the way but I don't really share much about Mr Frugal on here although he does pop up from time to time ;-) So today, I'm going to share some things I want them to know about their Dad. Not the obvious things like the fact that he loves football and his computer but the random important things that if I don't tell them, no-one will....To this day he … [Read more...]
I want to marry Santa….
I'm feeling a little bit traumatised right now following the unexpected chat I've just had with Miss Frugal....Picture this, I'm relaxing on the settee with a nice cup of tea when Miss Frugal, snuggles up to me and gives me a kiss on the end of my nose.Miss Frugal: I know, you know.Me: Oooh what do you know.Miss Frugal: That you're the pyjama fairy that brings us pyjamas on Christmas Eve.Me: OhMiss Frugal; Which means you're probably the tooth fairy too!Me: OhMiss Frugal: I don't think you're Santa though because he's a man.Me: OhMiss Frugal: I think I … [Read more...]
