Miss Frugal has definitely caught the travel bug after our little break away to Cyprus recently! She seems to have developed a real love of travelling and visiting new places, something I want to encourage in both of my children because it's so important for them to learn about the world around us.She's started her own little travel journal to record the places that we've already been and she's been asking me for one of those personalised family travel map you can get where you scratch off the places you've been (like these). Rather than buy one of those for her, I bought a small … [Read more...]
Days Out: Middleham Castle and Forbidden Corner….
Last weekend we were looking for a bit of a special day out to celebrate the end of SATs for Master Frugal and the end of a hard exam week for Miss Frugal and after much debate we decided to visit Middleham Castle and Forbidden Corner. Middleham Castle Middleham Castle is somewhere I've wanted to visit for years now as I've read about it's history as a setting in a number of different books. It was the childhood home of King Richard III (also known as the Kingmaker) and is steeped in history and tragedy.It's probably one of my favourite places that we've been since we joined English … [Read more...]
Review: Vrissaki Beach Hotel, Protaras….
First of all, I just want to put it out there that I paid for our holiday to the Vrissaki Beach Hotel and until I got home and thought about what a great time we'd had, I had no intention of reviewing our stay or the hotel itself so this might seem like a bit of an odd review as I probably don't have photos to match everything that I'm going to say! ;-)(Can you tell I'm not a travel blogger?)We booked our holiday to the Vrissaki Beach Hotel in Protaras through First Choice holidays and paid £546 in total for the two of us for four nights. I didn't specifically want to go to Cyprus … [Read more...]
Warning: This post contains a serious amount of holiday spam….
If you've been reading my posts recently then you'll probably know that Miss Frugal and I booked a cheeky little holiday away in the sun. We left the menfolk here for a couple of reasons but mainly because neither of them really fancied the heat in Cyprus and also because Master Frugal has SATs coming up so he didn't want to miss school. They're going to do a quick break later in the year together and have their eye on Barcelona so they can watch a match at the Nou Camp although we quite fancy tagging along if they'll let us. ;-)We booked a four night stay at an all inclusive hotel in … [Read more...]
WWE Live Wrestlemania Revenge 2016….
Last Wednesday we went along to the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena to watch the Newcastle leg of the current WWE Live Wrestlemania Revenge tour and we had a brilliant night!I don’t know what it is about the wrestling because personally, I don’t watch it on TV and I’m not interested in watching it at any other time but watching it live is a whole other matter. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that the WWE superstars are right there in front of me or if it’s the electric atmosphere that the crowd create or even the sheer amazement on Master Frugal’s face when the wrestlers are introduced that … [Read more...]
Days Out: Byland Abbey….
You might have read yesterday that I decided to embrace Mothers Day this year rather than stick my head in the sand and pretend it's not happening for the most part. The kids were over the moon with this news and have spent the entire day spoiling me and showering me with love, attention and presents!We started off with some lovely treats at home followed by a surprise trip to York designer outlet where I was stunned to be steered into the Micheal Kors shop and treated to a new watch. My objections to the cost were silenced by Mr Frugal who told me that they'd never bought me more than a … [Read more...]
