#WBOYC - November

 The end of the year is hurtling towards us - it's time for another WBOYC


Oh my goodness, another month has bitten the dust - let's see how it unfolded

N

Nattering and knitting - I'm still enjoying being part of the Knit and Natter group that meets on a Friday and we have had a special project on the go this month - see below!

O

Olive had her birthday party which had a Frozen theme.  They hired out a small hall near their house which was a great idea as it is amazing how noisy a group of three year olds can get.


V

Volunteering to make teeny, tiny hats for premature babies.  Our local ambulance service put out a call for them as apparently they like to keep a supply of them in their vehicles for when they are called out on an emergency call that involves premature babies. They are so tiny,  and a bit fiddly to make but in the space of about 10 days, our Knit and Natter group made 75, not bad for a group of six knitters!



E

Entertaining - it was our turn to host an Indian takeaway evening with three other couples.  We all used to live in the same street and still get together about twice a year.  

M

Meals out.  Oh my waistline is going to pay for this!  Four meals out so I need to eat super healthily at home to compensate.

B

Birthdays - Rosie turned six and she was so excited about it!  Her present wish list included Sylvanian Family playsets.  Her mum absolutely loved those when she was that age - 32 years ago - it feels like deja vu! 

E

Extra early/late birthday celebrations. We went out for a meal with friends and at the end they brought out a small chocolate dessert with a candle and sang happy birthday to me. My birthday is in March! I did try to explain that to the waiter but he insisted I ate it 😊 The lady at the next table to us, who was celebrating her birthday, was very amused! She did get her birthday dessert after her friends spoke to the waiter!


R

Rosie really did have a birthday. Six years old! Maybe I should have taken the dessert home for her 😆


So that was my month, and here it is 1 Second Every day



Please pop over to the other Deb and see how much she has crammed into her month. She certainly fits a lot more than me into her months!

Hi Deb, I know the little hats for the premature babies will be very welcome. What a lovely kind gesture and wow 75 is an awesome effort by you all. I love the sound and knitters and natters! You've had a busy month and managed to celebrate your birthday (either a bit early or a bit late) as well. Thanks for joining us for #WBOYC, it's always great to see what you get up to. Have a lovely December x

Those knitted hats are so adorable--and for 6 of you to make 75 in such a short time is incredible! Way to go!

Another varied month, but what a great way to use up those smaller amounts of wool on those adorable premie hats.
