While sorting out my blog posts, I came across this post. It was written some time in July last year, but for some reason I never published it. No words, only photos.

ok, that was it...
...next stop, Easter.
I'm taking bets on how long til Cadbury cream eggs get in Tescos.
A week, perhaps? That should be long enough to clear the Christmas stock in the sales and get a shelf free.
The cynicism of the middle aged.

The frugal sap is rising...
I was replying to someone else's blog here about sewing, when I felt a blog post of my own coming on...
No, they're not my legs!
Look what I've been up to this morning:
No, they're not my legs! Dd's previously almost-too-short-and-rather-tatty jeans, transformed into girl-power fringe monsters with the help of my clanky-clonky machine and a really horrible denim Barbie skirt.
God I so hate doing it, but the kids love it. Best part was making the little easter egg cards for the treasure hunt (especially feeding them into the laminating machine). But that was 6 years ago and the pleasure has long worn off.
It wont win any awards for tidy sewing, and certainly no prizes for style or design, but it was worth it for the pleasure of cutting up that skirt.
And also this morning, the habitual 'easter egg hunt'.

But that was 6 years ago and the pleasure has long worn off.So each year I salvage the egg cards from the back of the home-made-jams-and-other-forgotten- things cupboard and tie them around the house and garden.
I deserve at least 3 easter eggs for being an obliging mother and an oscar for being able to fake such convincing Easter enthusiasm.

Lego, water, chocolate and music
Ok, so next best thing after a bonfire is...
And just to prove I'm not showing favouratism to No.3, here's someone else who likes to pose for the camera:
Oi! Don't look now, but there's a dodgy-looking geezer with a big stick behind you. ..
And did I mention that it's been Easter? As you can see, we celebrated in the usual way:
...playing in water.
We spent today at Legoland and dd just couldn't resist having a splash, despite the fact that we'd left all the spare clothes back at the car (eek!)
