Remember, remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Every year ( or maybe memory deceives) in primary school we would copy out this poem in our best handwriting and decorate around the edges of the page with pictures of fireworks, bonfires and Guy Fawkes.
Once home, after tea we would go outside for a bonfire and fireworks which would have been bought a few at a time over the last month.Our neighbours on one side would come round and perhaps Grandad would be there too. The fireworks didn't last long then it would be back indoors for hot dogs.
It was such an adventure, looked forward to for weeks - Simple times.
This year we won't be watching fireworks as Cols outpatients appointment at hospital is at 6.30pm tonight -an odd time. I have to confess to being a bit concerned at this new problem which has come on rather suddenly. It may upset all our plans regarding house moving and leave us not knowing what to do next.
The fifth £1 money saver from April 2013 was/ is - Buy Refill packs if you can.
Years ago we had a shop locally where we could take Ecover empties and refill with washing up liquid and laundry liquid. No longer there. I used to buy refill packs of the Kenco De-caf coffee, now more often than not I can buy jars on special offer cheaper than the refill packs.
