When I read about Chris' adventures with Gloop over at Thinly Spread, I thought it looked perfect for us, so I wrote it down somewhere in one of my many notebooks on one of my many 'Things to do with the kids' lists. Except that I seem to remember buying a nice new pretty notebook shortly after which meant that the one I'd written the idea down in was relegated to the old notebook drawer (yes, we really have one) and Gloop was forgotton about. Miss Frugal reminded me of it last week when I bought her a Science Experiment book and she wrote me a list of ten experiments she had seen in there … [Read more...]
Sad Puppy….
Poor Buddy's feeling a bit sorry for himself today as he's had a haircut. He's been transformed from this.... to this.... I asked for a pet cut which I though meant he would get a bit of an all over tidy up but the lady obviously though I said ' Please scalp my cute fluffy puppy'. … [Read more...]
Then and Now…
It's Miss Frugal's ninth birthday next month and she's started making plans for her party already. In fact, she has a birthday party notebook (any excuse for stationery in this house) detailing her plans for the event of the year and I was just reading out her demands requests to my dad over the phone when he reminded me of one of my birthday parties when I was around the same age.

Magpie Monday – The School Holiday Edition….
For the last few months I've been keeping an eye out for things to help me keep the kids occupied during the Summer holidays and I've managed to build up a nice little collection of things that I'm hoping will keep them quiet.... For a while anyway ;-) A Go-Kart for £2.50 Rollerblades for Miss Frugal for £1.50. I also bought a training pair for Master Frugal for £1.00 A big basket of Bratz dolls clothes for £1.00 - It's a bigger basket than it looks in the photo and has about 100 items in it. I asked the price and when the lady said it was just a pound, I hesitated as I thought … [Read more...]
