Each year I try and find one new decoration for my tree. This year I have been quite remiss, muttering that "I will stitch something about our Sapphire Anniversary" but I just haven't got round to it. Then on Wednesday, Voluntary Norfolk [who co-ordinate my hospital visiting] invited a group of us for morning coffee at the Station Bistro in Wymondham as a ThankYou for our support. Service excellent, cake portions huge, quirky railway carriage 'banquette' seating...it was great fun. It was here they had the fabric Xmas chains. We were all given a greetings card and a decoration
"It's a HoHoHat!" I declared. and my companions asked where that name came from. I said my granddaughter Jess called them that when she was two, and the name has stuck.
Aren't children wonderful?
*Im a little bit confused, I found this picture in various places on the internet, many describing the product as recyclable paper napkins. Surely they mean recycled? Surely you cannot wash and reuse paper napkins,can you?
I'm definitely adding Napettie and WatcherMate to my vocabulary.
Can you add any inspired family names to my list of neologisms?
Ketchermatochup... because my son found 'tomato ketchup' too difficult to say...

DeleteI think you can recycle but you can't re-use. I've noticed that "official" things often distinguish between the two.
ReplyDeleteThat makes aense
DeleteMy daughter was small and I commented that it was "very foggy out" she rushed to the window and said"but I can't see any frogs". To this day I still call fog froggy and so does she. She called her slippers "slibbies" which we both still use. I love the funny names children use. I hope that your craft fair goes well today.
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of. Froggy weather.
DeleteWhat a lovely gift to the volunteers. You know a man who could make everyone in the family a personal one. Getting the decorations up yesterday and today as we will be inside in this wet weather. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI have suggested it, but he's a bit busy!

DeleteWhen my sister and I were little, we always called bread and butter 'Bupper'. We don't know where it came from, but it is still used by the Children and Grandchildren

DeleteI always called bread and butter ‘Buppy’ when I was little. Not sure whether I invented it or it was a Suffolk word from my parents
DeleteI wonder if it is a Suffolk Term?
DeleteI was suddenly reminded that my mother told me that, when I was little, in the days when we would often have some kind of fish paste from a jar on bread, I would ask for a "paste sannich bupbup".
ReplyDeleteMore bup words!
DeleteI think the recyclable paper napkins means they can be recycled, not reused.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter used to say "wawa" for water and "wawa melon" for watermelon.
Yes i think that must be what it means - but it is misleading
ReplyDeleteMy niece called birds, "Dick-Dicks" so my Mum always calls them that now.
ReplyDeleteI used to call Cranes, "Rainbows" when I was young! Kx
