Excuses excuses!

I am spiralling towards the end of the family birthday celebrations for this year, and am currently 'mid-bunting'! 

I have printed and cut some tiny bunting flags for the birthday cake tomorrow, and it is taking ages to hand-tie them.  I would have used the sewing machine but I need to just slouch in front of the TV.

I didn't sit down between going to school this morning and pick up time, somehow managing to turn a quick clean of the house into a mammoth task, and to all but me, it doesn't look any bloody different!

So my best intentions of a double FMQ Friday went by the wayside as checking nibbles and dunking marshmallows in melted chocolate for the party took priority after tea, sorry.

Just to keep you 'on side' here's a picture of the gang this morning, all ready for Children In Need Day at school.  The girls had to make do with an extra bow on their shop-bought Pudsey ears, but I made dear son's, (uncontrollable-shedding-yellow fur and all!) and attached them to his hat, which he didn't take off all day...


Oh I cannot wait for this time tomorrow - I can then start to think about Christmas :)

  2. Great pic, there are clearly no limits to your talents! Make sure you DO take that rest before you start tackling the 'C' word! If the birthday frenzy is any measure of what's to come you are gonna need it!

  7. Love hearing and seeing the family - my five would die of acute embarrasment if one tiny mention of them went into print! I have to pretend that they do not exist. Annabelle x

  16. Very impressive (though I am still in so much awe about the tardis you wouldn't believe). I can sympathise re the birthday season - ours starts early next month through to January so combined with Christmas it is full on madness!
