yes that's me

militant

painful

pickie

this Christmas past we hosted my hubbies annual Kids Christmas Picnic

out at the farm

apples for cows

chicken chasing

eating EVERY raspberry in my garden

digging up carrots

and a neglected jumping castle

hubbies work pays for catering

just a bbq, nothing fancy

santa claus (aka a chap from the office) arrives with parcels

but this year i said to the organiser - no plastic

no disposable cutlery

plates and cups are to be paper

it was no big deal

we keep a big jar of cutlery for just such an event

we also have a big stash of op-shop plates

and some re-useable heavy plastic cups (i'd prefer tin cups though)

they all get washed at the end of the day

stashed in a box ready for next time

why ?

i paid less

i used less

and i can use it all again

and so could the next generation

remove self from soap box :)
