Master Frugal got a letter today, a special letter that came in a homemade envelope and was hand delivered to his desk at afternoon playtime. He was the only one to get one of these letters and I can imagine the big smile on his face as he opened the letter........I couldn't help but laugh when he showed me the letter - it was from his now ex-girlfriend, who decided that she didn't want to be his girlfriend anymore ;-( On School Disco day as well, poor little thing. He's not the only one with relationship problems though - the boy that Miss Frugal is mad about has told her that he … [Read more...]

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies….
When I read that this some bloggers in the US have declared this Saturday to be World Nutella Day and I saw that the theme for this week's Friday Club was Cakes and Cookies, I knew exactly which recipe I was going to share with you - Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies. 125g plain flour 50g butter 1 egg 50g brown sugar 50g sugar 200g chocolate chips 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons Nutella As with all my favourite recipes, this one is super simple.

The Perfect Pudding for Winter….
I've just had a tidy out of my kitchen cupboards! I'm not sure what came over me - I went in to the kitchen to make a cuppa, noticed how messy the cutlery drawer was and it just spiralled out of control from there.... I found all sorts of weird and wonderful things, including cider vinegar that I have no recollection of buying, vanilla sugar that I forgot I had and lots of herbs and spices that I have no clue what to do with. One thing I did find that I was quite pleased with was a small amount of pudding rice so I thought that I would cook the kids some homemade rice pudding for after … [Read more...]
A Magical Christmas Starts Here….
This is absolutely my favourite time of year, I love everything about Christmas and I spend a lot of time in the build up to the big day trying to make things as special as I can for the kids. We have a lot of special family traditions at Christmas that I'll share with you over the next few weeks but one of the most magical things that we do for the kids each year is make a video from Santa to each of them.I'm sure there are plenty of sites you can use to do this but we use the Portable North Pole site as it's FREE, easy to use and the results are fantastic. You can make video's for … [Read more...]
A Romantic Love Note….
Who say's romance is dead.... First I was presented with a fluffy Rolo from Mr Frugal and today I was the lucky recipient of a love note........Written in the fat from the burgers we had for tea last night! We always make our own burgers but I couldn't be bothered to cook much last night as we've all got the dreaded lurgy. I dug out some burgers from the depths of our freezer and we decided to have burgers in buns and curly fries with corn on the cob. I can't believe the amount of fat that came of the burgers, it's disgusting - we'll definitely be sticking to our homemade ones in … [Read more...]
Bored, Bored, Board…. The Sequel
A little while ago we made our own board game called the Razzle Dazzle game and even if I do say so myself, it was brilliant. I can't for the life of me understand why Mattel or some other game making company aren't banging on out door trying to buy the rights to it (or not lol). We do actually still play it every now and again as Miss Frugal is so proud that she made her very own board game, she even took it to school with her for games day on the last day of school. So when she asked if we could make another one, I could hardly say no, could I?We were a bit limited with … [Read more...]
