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

How did you start writing your blog?

And when you got your first comment how did you feel? I found a new blog friend this week and commented on her post, then another and then another. I like reading back posts when I find a new person. It makes them more of a full personality to me. But it got me thinking; how did I start writing my blog? And when did I get my first comment (and who off?) My first post was called Angel Jem; From Mess to Less.  Ho hum, that aim has never quite happened, has it? And my first commenter was the lovely Cherry Menlove. I'd been a blog-hopper for ages, had been leaving comments on others blogs and then decided I should probably dip my toe in and go for it. Cherry Menlove was one of my favourite reads, and I was delighted that she stopped by and commented! Back then (2007) there didn't seem to be that many blogs out there. Everybody knew Posy and Yarncraft and Cherry Menlove and Dottie Angel , and people popped up for a few years and then disappeared. Some blogged to promote
