Every week for about the last six weeks, I've read Polly's lovely 52 weeks of gratitude post and every week I've commented to say how lovely her post was and how important it was to be grateful for the small things in life. I've probably even said a few times that I would be joining in and writing my own but I've never got around to actually doing it until today.This is my favourite time of year and I love that the nights are drawing in - we had a gorgeous walk on the beach in the dark one night last week and we loved it. It turns out paddling in the sea is even more fun in the dark … [Read more...]

Greed….
During this Summer's World Cup tournament, Master Frugal decided that he did like football after all.He's always enjoyed playing it but the World Cup seemed to really hold his interest and not only did he start to enjoy watching matches, he started to learn the players and appreciate the amazing skills some of the players have as well as developing a dislike of the divers and the biters that made the headlines during the tournament.When the World Cup ended, he had a few new heroes to look up to and a new found enjoyment of all things football.He even asked for a football kit … [Read more...]
The post I wasn’t going to publish – Ten Years ago today….
Ten years ago, when I woke up on September the 4th 2004, I knew it wasn't going to be a great day.I had that feeling, you know the one you get when you know something bad is going to happen.Considering my big brother was very poorly in a local hospice, I suppose I didn't really need psychic powers to tell me it wasn't going to be a good day, did I? I knew what was coming because the day before I'd sneaked back into his room to say goodbye, even though he was unconscious.I told him my secret and left.So when the phone rang the next night, I stared at it instead of … [Read more...]

The great Christening gift dilemma….
Last month we were invited to a very special little boys christening and I wanted to get him the perfect Christening gift - the only problem was that I had no idea what the perfect gift was!I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that I spent hours, literally hours, looking round the internet for the perfect present and I had a list as long as my arm of gifts that I liked but none of them really stood out as 'the one'. The problem was that I wanted something a little bit different that he could keep forever that showed how special we think he is. The sort of gift that if I'd been … [Read more...]
#WeLoveWales – by Miss and Master F….
In the two week's school holiday last month we went to Wales. We've never been to Wales before so we were very excited.After that, we stayed in a castle (Ruthin Castle.) At the castle,we saw some peacocks 3 males and 5 female.The males were trying to impress the women by showing their feathers and shaking them. We helped a member of staff feed them bread and they ate out of our hands. We liked that bit.The room was amazing, however, did you know we had our own room. It was right next door to Mam and Dad's room and we watched a cop show on the TV but then Mam … [Read more...]
