The 4th of February marks World Cancer Day. This is a subject that is very close to my heart after losing both my brother and my mother to cancer, so I wanted to let you all know to raise a bit of awareness.I used to think that Cancer was something that affected other people and other families but in 2002 when I was in hospital having Miss Frugal, my brother found out that he had mouth cancer. What followed was a two year battle against the disease that finally defeated him in September 2004. It was heartbreaking to see and I thought I would never feel that sort of pain again but then in the … [Read more...]
Sunday Morning Rant….
I rarely get up before 10am on Sundays, not because I'm lazy (OK it is because I'm lazy) but it's the one day of the week when I CAN lie in. But oh no, not today, Mr Frugal decided it would be a good idea to set his alarm for 8am. Some mumbo jumbo about his body clock and working nights tonight. So, after waking me up with the loudest alarm in the world, he hobbled to the en suite bathroom and proceeded to blow his nose, although you could have mistaken the noise for a steam train driving through the bedroom. He managed to wake both kids up at this point. Not content with that, he then … [Read more...]
Make an Apron (Simple Version)
Today we made matching aprons for baby Isabella and her mummy, Miss Frugal.I should explain that Isabella is the doll that Miss Frugal got for Christmas, she crawls, walks, cries and even has temper tantrums. Apparently she needs an apron for when they are cooking together in Miss Frugal's bedroom!Now I am not talented or in any way good at sewing and some of you may well cringe at the basicness of this but all I did was cut out a rectangle and make the bottom corners look a bit rounded. Then I cut out two long ties and pinned them the top corners of the rectangle.It took Miss Frugal a good … [Read more...]
Another Visit to A&E
WARNING - LOOK AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T LIKE FEETMr Frugal has only gone and sprained his ankle, how selfish is that? Does he not know that I had plans for this weekend that involved all four of us being able to walk!He came home from playing five-a-side football in agony and decided that we should go to the local A&E; who said that it might be fractured but as it was after 5pm there were no X-Ray facilities so we could either go back the next morning or go to the bigger A&E; 10 miles down the road for an X-Ray.By this point it was 8pm and he was due at work for the night shift at 11.30 so we … [Read more...]

Mortified….
I am so embarassed, I have just been to Asda with Master Frugal and he has just shouted at the top of his voice across the shop'Mam, will you hold my nuts while I have a wee?'I must just explain at this point that I had given his some pistachio nuts in the car and he didn't want to take them in to the toilet.... however, the shop full of people sniggering at me didn't know that, did they?One for the memory books I think. … [Read more...]
