Miss Frugal has just made Jammy Buns for us all. I've made them with her a couple of times before (see here) but today she decided that she was now grown up enough to make them on her own. She put her little pinny on and managed to weigh out the ingredients all by herself (good job there's not many lol) so she's feeling quite proud of herself. Her three cousins have just been round and she made them all sit at the table to try one - She would have been gutted if they hadn't liked them! I know they don't look much but they taste gorgeous. … [Read more...]
A Frugal Fondue….
I found a huge bar of chocolate in the cupboard on Friday night and I was sooooo tempted to eat it - which wouldn't have helped my diet in any way!After sitting and staring at it (whilst drooling) for a while wondering if a big bar of dairy milk was worth breaking my diet over, I decided to melt it down and make a frugal family style fondue. I didn't do anything fancy, I just melted the chocolate in the microwave and chopped up some fruit. Arm the kids with a fork each and you have two happy little people.Funnily enough we went shopping yesterday and saw a Cadbury's chocolate fondue set for … [Read more...]
Meal Planning – the Slimming World Way
This week's meal plan is going to be be a bit of a nightmare. I have to plan for a fussy eating 4 year old, a can't cook, won't cook other half and on top of that, I need to make sure that it's Slimming World friendly!I think until I have got the hang of being back on Slimming World I'm going to eat simple things that I'm familiar with rather than try anything elaborate or time consuming, more for the fact that I will be cooking separate meals for me initially. Once I've got my head round it I will introduce it more to the rest of the family and gradually try to adapt our family favourites to … [Read more...]
How to be an Organised Mum….
To the 6 people who have found this blog after searching for a 'diary in the shape of a tree' - Sorry, I have no clue why ended up here either! However, if you've found me by searching for the term 'organised mum' then this post may be the one for you. I've decided to dedicate a whole post to sharing as many tips on how to be an organised mum that I can (I aim to please after all ;-))I should be honest before I start though, I'm not one of those perfectly organised people who has everything under control all the time but Google seem to diagree judging by the numbers of visitors they … [Read more...]
All By Myself….
Actually I'm not completely on my own but it is just me and the kids tonight as Mr Frugal has very cleverly agreed to do a night shift at work tonight. Seriously, why would anyone work the night shift if they didn't have to.He says its because I am off tomorrow and he thought that we could spend the day together! He over looked the fact that when he got in at eight in the morning he would be too tired to do anything other than go to bed....Bless him, he didn't quite think it through did he?Tea tonight for the kids was Macaroni Cheese leftovers that I froze last time I made it. To be honest, it … [Read more...]

I need to find a meeting near me but in the meantime I am starting the diet tomorrow. Wish me luck … [Read more...]
