Not That Popular!
I popped round to tiddler’s house today to hang some fairy pictures, plus her own purple and pink creation, in her bedroom. Delighted, she shouted “I love them Baba!” Success!
Later, downstairs, I spotted ‘the list’... her birthday party guest list that Granny had somehow negotiated me onto. Being Mr Popular, due to the picture hanging, I dared say “Yippee, I’m on the list!”
She suddenly gave me a serious look that said ’You’re not on the list, Baba!’
So I showed her my name and Granny’s... both mysteriously written in pencil.
Now I’m worried that she’ll rub them out!

Yep! I managed to get there, but possibly only because there were a couple of 'no shows'! It did mean though that there was a spare lunch box for me (a jam, a ham and a cheese sandwich, three cocktail sausages, a Kinder chocolate bar, bear-shaped snacks and healthy raw carrots and cucumber... what was not to like!) And of course a piece of delicious party cake... and the sweeping up stacking the chairs and tables and taking home bags of rubbish afterwards!
