Mr Frugal excelled himself this year with my Christmas present of a Morphy Richards soup maker and even did well by giving it to me on Christmas Eve morning because he knew I'd want to use it as soon as I got it and wouldn't have been able to if he'd given me on on Christmas morning.I love making soups and often make a batch at the start of the week for my work lunches so he decided to buy me the Morphy Richards soup maker to make life easier for me bless him.I've wanted a soup maker for ages but when I looked at the price of them (usually between £50 and £100) they seemed like a bit … [Read more...]

Christmas Eve in our house….
Happy Christmas Eve Eve!Tomorrow is my favourite day of the year and I can't wait for the kids to get up so we can get the day started with our traditional homemade pancakes and syrup breakfast.

I can't believe that it's only three sleeps until Christmas Day!One of my favourite things about Christmas Day is Christmas Dinner although I think that's probably because I don't have the stress of cooking the meal itself as we always go to my Dad's for the meal itself.

The rest is all optional sparkle!One you've cut out your wreath base, you just need to cut out about a million leaves to stick around the template in a leafy pattern. I can guarantee that the kids will start off … [Read more...]
Seven super simple rules for a great family Christmas!
I'm sure we all know from experience that it's very rare that the run up to Christmas (and the big day itself) will go off without a hitch, a meltdown or even a disaster so what I wanted to share with you today are my seven super simple rules to make sure you have a great family Christmas even taking into account everything that could go wrong....Christmas Day is a day that we spend weeks, if not months, preparing ourselves and our homes for by the time the day arrives we (meaning me) usually have such high expectations of the perfect Christmas that we (again meaning me) stress out over … [Read more...]
