“Now, that’s a carrot and a half!” Nina exclaimed, as she checked out her booty from the allotment this week.ย  Nothing genetically modified about that one! In fact, it would have never made it to a kitchen, let alone her plate, had it been in one of the fields of the huge supermarket chains.ย  Definitely not a politically correct carrot, not the required 6 inches long, or what ever the job description stated for carrot vacancies nowadays.

But it was her carrot, lovingly planted, and watered, and cared for.ย  And oooh it would help to make a great soup!

As previously stated, I open this challenge to all of you, my readers, if you wish to take part!

It’s Here! It’s Here! December’s Here!

So excited that the festive season can officially start now!?!

Ok, so I know that there are crazy stores who have had Christmas things out for months, but rally…

It’s December 1st. I shall bust my Christmas CD out for my car now, and the weekend will bring the tree decoration fun… Working out where to place the tree, so Sonu Singh does not go too crazy trying to climb it in the middle of the night… And finally finishing the Chrismans shopping… Ashamedly, we have only got one present so far for the kids! 

  
But we are planning on doing a big charity present bundle this year, and Hubby Dearest really wants to volunteer somewhere too.

And as for the craziness that is nursery…

We got our class Advent calendar up last night, ready for the children to see, and will be decorating the tree in the morning, then Undecorating it at lunchtime, so,the afternoon kids can help to decorate it too… Then no doubt, we will remove said decorations again, to make it look decent!

 The kids have already been busy making decorations and learning Christmas songs for a little showcase to their parents ar the end of term…

My favourite moment so far…?

When a little girl excitedly told me she wants a ‘Christmas Crapper’!!!!!

‘BANG!’

Happy December Peeps!!!!

Old Skool!

2015-11-29-19.48.30.jpg.jpeg

Well, you know what happened last week… thanks to my smartphone being a total waste of space, my alarm didn’t go off, resulting in a panic attack. And despite many attempts to reset it, I spent the majority of last week waking at 4 am, then fitfully sleeping, not sure whether my alarm would ring or whether it would leave me to panic again and be late for school!

So, as my post title says, I decided to goย old skool! I went shopping on Saturday and bought myself a digital alarm clock, and plenty of batteries too.

Hopefully l won’t have the same issues now, and will be at least able to sleep until 6am, when my new (old) alarm should wake me!

And just in case that ends up not working, I even got an even older style folding alarm clock!

I may have around 3 alarms going off tomorrow, as it’s what they call Sod’s Law… now I am prepared, my phone will start to behave!!!!

Here’s to being able to wake up at the right time!!!!

If anyone deserves the name, it’s me…Bagpuss.

I can’t help it, wherever there is a bag, there is me.

I know it may not seem too comfortable, but believe me it is!

And who knows, one day, they might not realise, and I could be a kitty stowaway, and get taken out of the house.

Imagine, my first adventure!!

Not one of those, stick me in a basket adventures…Oh no, I don’t want to end up in a place where there are lots of other scary animals, and then a seemingly friendly human picks me up, strokes me, then sticks a huge sharp claw-like thing in me! Oh, and the best bit, he gives me a treat after… like that will make me forgive him, Meaow-No way!

No, I’m talking about a real adventure, where I can see where they go when they leave me…

I try, honestly I do.ย  All these huge bags they take. Even little ones. I try and get in them all… but somehow they find me, and gently take me out.

It’s so not fair!

 

I throw this challenge open to all of you!
