Very rushed today, because half an hour before bedtime, yes, it's that parenting cliche, Item remembered to tell us that tomorrow is 'bling up your bike' day for Children In Need, and while it's optional, there is no such thing as optional when it comes to Item and any activity that involves cutting, sticking or WINNING

Bling up your bike!! Superb.

We are having cake for CIN here. I made chocolate chilli cake in the hope of appealing to the tough male demographic (there's a prize for Best Cake).

Ooh that sounds NICE.

It was! I think the recipe came from the National Trust originally.

A request like bling up your bike wouldn't work in our house - YB doesn't have a bike and doesn't really want one.

What school is doing, though, is a toy sale. They've asked everyone to bring in an old (but good condition) toy, book, whatever, and 50p. Everyone will be able to buy a toy, and CIN gets the money.

It included scooters - not that we were told, but it looks like everyone else had had the message (and Item had got it slightly wrong about the clothes. It wasn't just bright colours; it was meant to be fluorescent) so I'm not sure which particular means of communication failed for us...

Toy sale sounds good.
