I too just got my mumsnet blogger badge, and after such a long wait that I can only imagine that MNHQ must have had some serious reservations about my character... Anyhoo, my blog is about making stuff out of rubbish with help from a bunch of disabled people, and the occasional toddler or random cat. two posts so far this week about the decorations we just did for a wedding and what the hell to do with all of the leftovers!

Hello, also new!

My blog is Six Weeks of Summer Club Two cheap or free activities for every day of the summer holidays, in an attempt to fend off wall-art by toddlers and related medicinal gin before lunch.

So far this week we have Why you should go to your local library, and how to make a rain catcher as well as and what to do with all the delightful twigs and pebbly shit your children bring home afterwards

[TeWiDoesTheHulaInHawaii]

sorry mucked up the last link geocaching and what to do with all the twigs and pebbly shit your kids bring back afterwards

[fuzzypicklehead]

TeWi--Awesome! Love geocaching!

[TeWiDoesTheHulaInHawaii]

Thank you! It's great isn't it? I went on the site and realised I am really spectacularly late on the band wagon, but the caches are still there. Very enjoyable.

My second offering put together. Rather unexpectedly, about 20 minutes ago. I just felt inspired or maybe bored by the Olympics...
It's about going shopping with the kids.

Happy Yorkshire Day, folks! Time for a celebration of my home county

[PetiteRaleuse]

Baroness I'm not sure my coment worked. What I was trying to say was, being a Lancashire Lass, I obviously can't completly agree with you ;) but yorkshire puds are indeed very good as an actual pudding too. Have you seen the sketch?
