Bug Bear Meme - Children In Need and Pudsey Bear

I am sad that Pudsey's fundraising may be effected by the recent goings on with the BBC, so I am setting up this meme to remind you all that he will be starring in tonight's BBC Children in Need TV schedule.

So please watch it if you can and donate.


To make this meme fun I thought we could complete things in the letters of Pudsey's name.

P is for please. Aaron I am so proud of the way you always say please.
U is for untidy.  I struggle to keep up with the mess you make.  Your toys are EVERYWHERE!
D is for dancing.  You are so musical and love to dance the minute you hear music.
S is for sun.  At the moment you start everyday by saying "the sun came up".  You're my joy!
E is for everything.  Being two, you are into everything at the moment - you keep me on my feet.
Y is for yesterday.  Since you came along, yesterday is always important as there's always a fab photo or memory to look back on.

So I am not going to tag anyone, as this meme really needs to be completed today, as Children in Need is on TV tonight, so please join in if you have writer's block and are looking for bloggy inspiration today.

See you on the sofa, or on Twitter when we're all watching and tuning in later.

Yesterday at Aaron's nursery all the tots had to dress for the letter P.  Pirates, or Princesses or PJs.  Aaron wore his Pudsey PJs:


If you'd ever like to make Children In Need cupcakes, I know just the Domestic Goddesque to show you how.

Here's a linky list if you would like to join in:

Due to blogger's dynamic template, the list won't be visible unless you click the link but I will manually link to anyone who joins in as well, and tweet.

AND without further ado, the first bloggers to take up the task are:
  1. Be More 4 Mums - great Pudsey video here and I love what she has said to spell PUDSEY 
  2. Wendy from Inside the Wendy House just did an acrostic post which you can find HERE.
  3. Madhouse Family Reviews joined in too with this beautiful post full of pictures and inspiration. 
And Wendy's just taught me a new word, via Facebook, when she told me about her above post:
a·cros·tic  (-krôstk, -krstk)n.
1. A poem or series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence.
So we are showing our acrostic love for Pudsey :-)
Much love,

Liska & Aaron.

We Love You George

Hi George.........


We went to your shop the other day (Friday 11/11/11) and we bought £60 worth of clothes for Aaron.

The highlights were:

This jacket:

As Aaron is a large boy at nearly 17 months, we had to buy it in age 2 -3 years and it fits just right.

Neither the photo above nor the one on the Asda website do it justice.  The RED and the NAVY are very vibrant in real life AND it is Thomas The Tank Engine.  It is a snip at £14 and this is NOT a sponsored post.  The minute I saw it on Friday I knew I had to have it.  The jacket Aaron's worn the last few weeks was given to us by Siobhan, and Aaron loved it, but I knew he needed another jacket, a shiny one for rainy days (as the other is brown chord).

We also got Pudsey Children In Need PJs which Aaron wore last night and they are gorgeous - they are a real snip at £8.  All three of the things I mention here, we got in age 2-3 years, even though Aaron is nearly 17 months, as he is a BIG BOY.  Do not buy the right size for a relative, if you know that they are large for their age.  Good tip: Aaron was 9 pounds 10 oz at birth and his percentile has stayed consistent ever since, with him growing all the while.

We also got this gorgeous top - it is slightly fleecy and has a pretend t-shirt underneath - it is very warm:

Again these photos and the website don't do it justice.  It has a wool (or brushed cotton) feel to it, which the website doesn't tell you.  THAT is what I love about it - as well as how very smart it looks on.  It looks expensive but is a very reasonable £6. I wish Aaron would stay still long enough for me to take a better photo of it.

Anyway we are VERY happy with the look, feel and price of our Asda buys.

Thanks George.

And again, this is not a sponsored post - wish it was.  George, if you want to send us some of your beautiful clothes we won't say no.

We've been a fan of Asda's clothes since Aaron was born, but I don't normally think to blog about it.

Bye for now.

Much love,
Liska and Aaron xxx
