There have been labels being printed, boxes being shifted and floors being swept.
We like a bit of that, here in the Today department.
Everything ship-shape and Bristol fashion!
And, control yourselves, here is a picture of some Frugi racking with Mark in the background with our Henry Hoover.
What a great picture!

Nice straight lines - that's what we like!
Well, Mark’s taken the week off and he’s in sunny Spain for his birthday…but we thought we’d do a bit of birthday blogging for him anyway!
Some interesting things about Mark:
1. He doesn’t like cake – we hope he’s having lots of paella and chorizo instead of birthday cake today!
2. He’s a real bookworm and can often be found hiding out in the warehouse with his nose in a book (when he’s not busy packing up lots of lovely orders of course!)
3. He’s a man of intrigue – we never know whether he’ll come into work with a beard or without.
4. He puts poems up on the wall in the loos…none of the rest of us are intelligent enough to understand them, but it makes us look clever!
5. He’s an excellent masseuse – and very popular with the Frugi ladies for this reason!
6. He has a very infectious way of guffawing!
7. He likes the word ‘guffaw’.
8. He gets cross with us when we put the wrong things in the wrong recycling bins.
9. He loves The Archers, and often reads their blog!
10. He loves toast and marmite – that’s his favourite dinner!
We all love him, and hope he’s having a very happy birthday xxxxxxxxx
Happy Birthday Mark!!
]]>We have a new packing bench, a second fridge and a fantastic ‘crib’ (Staff) room table.
We’re loving all of our new toys.

She’s put us in a bit of a dilemma,
Should we reveal her age…or pretend she’s still twenty?
Hmmm, maybe we’ll just feed her with cakes aplenty!
She’s the legend behind all our PR,
Her wonderful ways have taken us far,
She’s made friends with lots of celebs,
Soon she’ll be hanging out with the debs!
She’s the naughtiest chocaholic you’ll meet,
She comes to work with a basket of treats,
You can hear her as she gets out the car,
With her bangles ringing out from afar!
So, Happy Birthday Em! We hope you have fun,
It doesn’t matter how old you’ve become,
At the end of the day you’re young at heart,
And you’ll never turn into a boring old fart!
Love from all of Team Frugi xxx
ps. Sorry for the bad rhyming with “celebs” and “debs”…we struggled!
]]>Get in the Van, man, and take a trip!
Lucy, Fran, Emma, Emily and Neythan went along to the Bubble show to exhibit our fine wares to the metropolis.
They returned with the freedom of the city. (They didn’t actually)
Look, the sign post points the way.
Lucy Jewson looking 'young' and 'hip'
Proper Job Luce.
Noticed that the Van came back with a big, empty, bag of maltesers in it!

Big Blue Frugi in Helston
Just waiting on the stairs, the floor, the ceiling and the desks!
We'll tidy it up a bit
Just because my wife and our Henri have been swooning all week about meeting Colin Firth at the Observer Ethical awards tonight, doesn’t mean that I’m jealous.
I too forget to shave, don’t comb my hair and wander around looking dischevelled most of the time. We’re very similar really.
However, I don’t seem to have the same swoonability. I don’t understand. Women eh!
Kurt
P.S. (And I’m not called Colin – I mean – really!)
He looks like Justin Currie from Del Amitri
3 Handsome chaps at Henry's
We don’t really do recommendations, at Frugi. However, over the weekend, we went to Henry’s campsite on the Lizard and we were really impressed. It was VERY Frugi!!
There were Pigs and Chickens, Ducks and Kids. Campfires and Cider, Marsh mellows and sausages. The whole place is a work of love. You can tell that the owners have a shared passion and a wonderfully artistic nature.

We always say, “If you’re going to do something, then do it brilliantly. Put your heart and soul into it and work hard.”
You only have to spend 5 minutes at Henry’s to see that they do.

]]>Six years old!! Or is that six years cheeky?!
We’ve been around for a while now, it’s a little bit freaky,
We just can’t believe how old we’ve got,
Kurt’s gone grey, but he still thinks he’s hot!
We love Frugi, and we know you do too,
It’s amazing how much good we can do,
Over the last few years we’ve achieved quite a lot,
Kurt’s eaten lots of pasties, and still thinks he’s hot.
There are 18 of us now at Frugi HQ
And we couldn’t survive if it wasn’t for you,
You’ve helped us to grow and taught us a lot,
And some of you also think Kurt’s quite hot!
So now we are six, we’re getting quite old
And we’re wondering what the future will hold
Fun things we hope, are we excited or what?
One thing’s for sure, Kurt’ll still think he’s hot!
The excitement is rising!
