We're back from our weekend at Haggerston Castle feeling refreshed and chilled out and ready for anything! Yeah right - two kids, two adults and a visiting teen in a caravan does not make a relaxing break lol. To be honest though, even if it wasn't relaxing, we had a fantastic time and I'll tell you all about it soon (I bet you can't wait now, can you?).We got back home at dinnertime today and after a quick nap (the kids, not me), we were ready to pop to the shops to get a bit of food shopping in and to spend our Tesco vouchers on a treat each for the kids as they were so good this … [Read more...]

The Gallery – Playtime (as chosen by a 7 year old)….
I love this weeks Gallery theme - Playtime. I could have spent all day going through my photos trying to choose just a few of my favourites to share with you but I thought that I would ask Miss Frugal to choose the pictures for me today and I'm quite surprised by some of the ones that she picked.So from a seven year old's point of view, our definition of playtime is a bit of cooking, a picnic, a game of crazy golf, some theme park rides and a soak in the paddling pool - oh I wish I was that age again! … [Read more...]
Happy Memories….
Can you believe how fast July flew by? I've just had a nice half an hour going through all my July posts to write the little round up below and I've realised why I love blogging (apart from all you lovely people) - it's because what I'm making month by month is a lovely collection of memories for my children when they're older. It's so nice looking back over the things we've done and the things they've said and knowing that I have a permanent record of everything to show them when they're older. So, here's July's round-up of happy family memories:Miss Frugal has been delighting us … [Read more...]
Chasing Rainbows….
I kind of cheated a bit with the Gallery this week as the post below was really written last week but I thought it fitted in with this weeks theme really well so I added the snazzy Gallery tag and moved the post to today ;-) I hope that's OK.....We've just spotted the most beautiful rainbow outside our house........ So we did what any normal family would do - We went to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!I'm sure you can guess where this story is going - Yep, no pot of gold, no leprechaun and two disappointed children. … [Read more...]
Summer Holiday Letters….
Dear School I would like to register my dissatisfaction at the fact that you have taken the decision to close for six weeks. How on earth do you expect parents to keep children entertained for six whole weeks!Also, to the teacher who painted my sons face yesterday with some sort of indelible face paint - Thanks!Yours AngrilyA frustrated parent ***************************** Dear Mr Frugal I'm very pleased that you managed to con talk the children into swapping the Wii for an X Box, however, I happened to like the High School Musical dance game for the Wii and I'm a little bit … [Read more...]
