Today is Children in Need and this week I've already happily bought quite a lot of fundraising cake :D Last night my son made a cake ready for his school Pudsey Bear bake off. He wanted to decorate it with multi coloured chocolate beans. None on the market ("we usually have them but not today"); none at Co-op that were not produced by Nestle (I've boycotted Nestle since I was 17. Click on the logo above to find out why).
Over at my local sweet shop there's a sign saying "Back in 5 mins" so I sent my son later - who I later discovered had bought chocolate coloured chocolate beans, and so not going to produce the desired spotty effect. And so we later had to go to another shop, which again had none - so we bought some rainbow drops which did the job nicely.

We will watch it on the tele tonight - after an long day at work including a workshop this afternoon, then a drumming lesson, and then a sing with my local rather than Preston choir. I'll be in need of cake by then so good job he made some spare!!
already had a huge portion of the cake (it was yummy)
ReplyDeletestill v proud that I embedded a http link into my blog so you just click on the image (tho to be fair it was my 9 year old that showed me and I don't think I could do it again)
sad not to be singing with my Preston choir tonight - nor next week - extra big hugs for them when I next get over there...
