Miss Frugal has just come running downstairs rather excitedly, interrupting the lovely little snooze I was having, to share something with me....'Mam, I'm getting boobs, proper ones with big nipples - look, you can feel them if you want' After declining her lovely offer, I was then subjected to discussing which of her boobs were bigger and how big boobs may grow and she was thrilled to know that one day hers might be the same size as mine! Not one to be left out, Master Frugal then joined in with our boob discussion by declaring that his boobs were growing too and he had a pair of man … [Read more...]
Such a Lovely Day….
We've had one of those rare days today, you know the ones where everything is good. We had a lie in this morning, then we went off to the park for a few hours to play rounders and frisbee (and make daisy chains ;-)). Miss Frugal's gone off to a sleepover (in her custom painted skirt) and Master Frugal has spent the afternoon in the garden with the dog or out the front with me riding his new bike - hence the dirty feet lol. Everything's quiet now and I'm sat with an ice cold glass of cider looking at the photos I've taken today with a big smile on my face. What's your day … [Read more...]
How do you deal with Attitude….
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. Yep - the house and everything in it has been now been scanned to within an inch of its life! After about half an hour of scanning random drawings and magazines I decided to brave the garage (filled with boxes and spiders) … [Read more...]
Silent Sunday – 24 April 2011
Ridiculous….
Miss Frugal likes to think of herself as a very stylish 8 year old. She has a big box filled with handbags and purses (she must be one of the only 8 year olds around who has a Radley purse) and she has more pairs of shoes than I have. She's quite a girly girl and loves to wear dresses, skirts and anything else pink or sparkly. Although I often don't love her clothes choices, she has her own style and I encourage that wherever possible by letting her choose all of her own clothes.I'm quite laid back about the clothes that she wears (she'd say the opposite) and she does have a few … [Read more...]
