Last month we shared a video with you to show you why we're #TeamSoft all the way when it comes to a choice between #TeamSoft and #TeamTickly. If you missed the video (which was filled mainly with giggling and the kids deciding that Mr Frugal was scruffy with a beard) then you can find it at the bottom of the post here.We weren't the only ones to share our opinions on the #TeamSoft vs #TeamTickly debate though....Aby from YouBabyMeMummy was my #TeamSoft ally with a gorgeous video featuring three year old Baby declaring that the best way to show her Daddy that she loves … [Read more...]
How to win at parenting with some unexpected help….
Last week I was talking to Miss Frugal about how she needs to keep working as hard as she is now with her school work and I came out with an amazing motivational quote:It sounded familiar even as it came out of my mouth but it wasn't until Miss Frugal said 'Mam, did you actually just quote SClub7 at me?' that I realised exactly why it sounded so familiar.I really did try to teach my child a life lesson using a line from an SClub7 song!*I then spent the rest of the night trying to recall other lines from SClub7 songs that were motivational (as you do when you have about a … [Read more...]
Let’s talk about excessive sweating….
Do you suffer from excessive sweating under your arms?I do and if untreated, it means that I start to develop embarrassing little sweat patches under my arms by mid-morning and by mid afternoon, depending on what I'm wearing, they're grown that big that they're pretty much visible to the people in the next street.(OK, the bit about the people in the next street seeing them is a slight exaggeration but they're definitely noticeable and certainly make me feel very self conscious.)If you suffer from excessive sweating then you'll probably understand when I say that before I discovered … [Read more...]
No Cook Popcorn Crispy Cakes….
As much as I love my family, it drives me mad when, no matter how many times I tell them, when they use the last of something the box does not go back in the cupboard! I've lost count of the times that I've got something out of the cupboard or the fridge only to find that the box is empty!It drives me loopy, especially when I've already melted some chocolate ready to make cornflake cakes and find that the big box of cornflakes in the cupboard is empty and there's only about a handful left in the rice crispies box!I had nothing else in that would work so I was torn between abandoning … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {3rd June 2016}….
This week has been a pretty good week in our house - both in the frugal and the family sense. ;-)1) For the last couple of months I've been organising a charity football match for work and I'll be honest, I've been losing a little bit of sleep as I was worrying that we'd bitten off more than we could chew and that it would all go wrong on the day. I couldn't have been more wrong as I couldn't have ever imagined a more successful day - starting with Master Frugal scoring a penalty at his beloved Riverside Stadium and ending with Mr Frugal scoring the winning goal in the final minutes of … [Read more...]
Five things you can make using a wafflemaker (and none of them are waffles)….
Last week I got some John Lewis vouchers sent to me as a thank you for something I did ages ago - so long ago in fact that I'd managed to forget they were coming so you can imagine my delight when I opened the post and saw the vouchers!I thought about buying something sensible like towels or something totally unnecessary like a handbag. I even considered getting a head start on some Christmas shopping but I kept wandering back to the waffle maker that I've been lusting over for the last few months.I've been tempted by the delicious pictures that Tanya often posts of the creations she's … [Read more...]
