Our Weekend Guest.

-
This weekend we had a little visitor from school.... no, not nits, but Cookie.

Cookie comes home with the best behaved child in the class... and this weekend it was the Princess! So, we had to entertain him (yes, he is a he despite the dress & pink socks) so he joined in very happily with all the things we did this weekend.

A teaparty to welcome him to our house.



An early bath (Friday night is video night) and a chance to try on some new Tigger pyjamas.



Pizza in front of the TV


Ice cream sundae in plastic sundae dishes (£1.99 for 4 from Home Bargain!)



Bedtime stories.



An early bed. Without the Princess and with!


Shopping at Sainsbury's and a trip to JJB.


Church parade, where he joined in very nicely with the Rainbows.


Swimming (he was far too modest to let you see him in his costume; bears are, you know)


Watching the last day of the football... apparently, Cookie is a keen Wigan supporter, so he was very happy by the end!



And an hour on the 'puter setting up a powerpoint presentation for the Princess to take into school tomorrow to show her Teacher that I'm not such a bad Mummy after I forgot about her trip to Croxteth Park on Friday and never sent her in with any wellies (She has insisted upon wearing them all weekend instead to taunt me) but at least I have time to put together a small selection of the 83 (83!!!!) photos we took of Cookie this weekend.
And we have to give him back tomorrow.

I miss him already :(

    The Adventures Of Cookie with 83 photographs you should be looking for a publisher! Delightful.

    Lucky Cookie. Looks like he had a lovely weekend. My boyfriend is particularly impressed by his support of Wigan, given that as a Sheffield Wednesday fan, he's currently watching MOTD and gloating over watching Wigan beat Sheffield United!

    Seems like the perfect house guest. We only ever got the class hamster which escaped and nibbled it's way through the first quilt I ever made!

    If I was Cookie, I wouldn't want to go home!

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with ...
