McDonalds? Do you love it or hate it?I must admit that I'm a fan. Some of my earliest memories are from when I used to go down town every Saturday with my mam and my brother, my mam used to like to trawl the charity shops looking for bargains (she always found them aswell) and by the end of the afternoon me and my brother were sick of following her around and she was tired from all her bargain hunting so we stopped in the newly opened McDonalds for a drink. To this day, the smell of McDonalds reminds me of shopping with my mam ;-)Fast forward 20 (ish) years and McDonalds is now a … [Read more...]
The Gallery….
I'll be honest, this weeks Gallery prompt was my worst nightmare initially, until I read Tara's post about why she had chosen that subject. I hate having my photo taken and I can count on one hand the number of pictures we have of all us together, I'm usually on the other side of the lens, but like Tara says, what if my children look back at the hundreds (probably thousands ;-)) of pictures of their childhood and wonder where I am.They don't look at photo's and say 'Oooh what a horrible photo of mammy' they look at the photo and see the person they love, who loves them more than anything … [Read more...]

The Birds and the Bees….
I'm still a bit traumatised this morning from the question Miss Frugal asked me last night, she snuggled up on my knee on the settee, looked at me with her big blue eyes and said "Mammy, What's sexing?" I wasn't sure what to say to her, I always said I would be completely honest with her and answer any questions she has but I really wasn't expecting her to hit me with this so young. After a few seconds of gobsmackedness (is that even a word) I asked her what she thought it was and she was kind enough to demonstrate on me, her little demonstration consisted of a big kiss during … [Read more...]
My Man….
Wow, I've not taken part in The Gallery for the last couple of weeks because of my various Blogger to Wordpress traumas but I was determined to join in today. I've just popped over to Sticky Fingers to see what Tara has given us as a theme and there's 85 entries already - I don't think I'll make it round them all tonight will I? This weeks theme is Men.... I considered putting a photo of Mr Frugal on her but I try not to use his picture on here so I decided to share his favourite place in the world with you instead as it shows a lot about him - His Computer Corner! You'll … [Read more...]
Happy Camping….
Does anyone go camping?We've never been before but are seriously considering trying it this year in the Summer holidays. I was hoping we might be able to have a more exotoc holiday, or at least one that involves an aeroplane but unless we win the lotter it doesn't look like that's going to happen so we thought camping in the UK might be a good alternative.To practice, we've bought a little 2 man tent from B&Q (complete bargain at £11) and set it up in the garden. It was a loads easier than I thought to set up although to be fair we do appear to have a few spare ropes and pegs … [Read more...]
