Stocking Up For Christmas (geddit?)

This Christmas bunting is just the thing to spruce up the house BOOM BOOM! I got such a kick out of my Corporate Free Christmas last year that I'm doing it again. I've been making this bunting to decorate our house and to give to family and friends. The first set is on it's way to my friend George in London, and I've put up two more sets in the shop.

Potty Mouth Pooh

The Bug has learn his first expletive.

He learned it from a talking book of Winnie-The-Pooh, read by Stephen Fry.

" Bother!" he says. "Bother bother bother bother bother".

He is very pleased with himself.

Horses for Courses

I took the Bug to a birthday party today. It had a theme- it was a jungle party.

On the way, the Bug said that he was going to have a horse party. I asked him what one has at a horse party.

"Cake", he said.
