I suppose I'm lucky enough to be in a area where we have a council that gives generously to the local Children's centers. One of the activities that was organized with the money was a cooking session with some WI women , when I got asked if I wanted to take part I couldn't say no , especially when I was told there was a creche and we got to bring home the food we made.
Now I'm no Delia Smith , cooking is like a foreign language to me. But these ladies were wonderful , went through everything step by step with me. An the results? A yummy leek & potato soup and some fruit scones.
I forgot my camera so will take it along next week for some photo's of me in action.
I've also been asked if I want to take part in a Bollywood dance class .. Mmm.. Still yet to decide on that one!
On the way home I stopped off in the local charity shop to check out some books to add to Oli' never ending book collection. Whilst paying for a musical Winnie the pooh book (25p) , I looked through to the backroom where I saw people sorting out new stuff and then something caught me eye. I asked if I could have a look at it , and it was exactly what I thought it was - a pop up play tent! Was rather delighted when they said I could have it for the bargain price of £1.99 , I felt rather guilty for having such a steal so I popped a few quid into the collecting bucket!
Once I got it home I was so excited about showing Oli his new play thing that I popped it straight up , couldn't figure out where the poles went so we're hoping Daddy can help with that when he gets home.
We still had some fun playing in it , they were giggles from us both when it fell down and I had to follow Oli out of a window!

Bless, he's so cute! You MUST do the Bollywood dancing. I did it for a hen night in November and it was great. Really good fun, you must try it!
ReplyThe cool thing about toddlers is that they love it no matter if it is put up correctly or not.

What a great buy! My little boy had a castle one when he was younger and played for hours. Mich x
