LIFE IS SWEET!!!
Monday 26th October 2009
Are you doing something ultra-cool this half-term? Or are you just a teensy bit… well, bored? Chase away the blues and make sure life really is sweet… by baking some cupcakes or cookies, doing something fun with a friend or curling up with your fave CC book!
Whatever you do to brighten up the holidays, share it – so other CC readers out there can get inspired to try something cool, too! Just post your tips for a boredom-free half-term through the comments link below.
Here in Scotland, half-term is over (boo!!!) but my family and I had a fab time – we went to London and… wait for it… saw the Queen! (Yes, the REAL Queen! Really!) She was at a fab play, War Horse, based on the book by Michael Morpurgo… and she caused quite a stir! The play was so brilliant it got a standing ovation, too, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house… aw. We also shopped till we dropped in Camden, Covent Garden and the Kings Road, did lots of touristy stuff and even got to go behind the scenes at the Museum of London… spooky stuff!
So what did you do… or what are you planning? Let me know! And if you DO make some sweet treats, send me a pic… I’ll post the best ones and send a little prize to those that really catch my eye!
Remember… life is sweet!

( i always get suger hipo!) And my dads best friends niese who is the same age as me came over and we played all day it was really fun!!!
Hey Cathy,
Well for those of you who live in Australia you may know that the Parramatta Eels lost against Northern Storm in the rugby grand final!! 🙁 But before the game i made eel-shaped cookies and even some cookies that spelled out “GO PARRA EELS”! And they tasted delicious! I will try and email pictures of them to Cathy’s website!
I also saw comedians Josh Thomas and Claire Hooper at the 2009 International River Healthh Conference in Canberra!!! They were hilarious! Hope u all had good holidays!
Hi Cathy x During our half term i met up with my friends alot. My next door neighbour got a puppy so i was through seeing it some days. Me and my friends made double choc muffins from asdas. Everyone loved them but me. I dont like cakes but i love baking them. Hope you had fun in london.
Hi Cathy!
On Monday my friend, her Mum, her brother, my Mum, my sister aand I went to the Odean cinema in Oxford. We watched ”Fantastic Mr. Fox”. It’s really good! Then on Wednesday I met up with my friend Hannah who I hadn’t seen since April!!!!!!!! 🙂

heeyya… well i’m going to an awesome halloween party this half term, so hopefully i’ll be making some-ultra-scary cakes for my friends ot eat, as it’s become a little bit of a trademark for me, i always make them for my friends’ birthdays! i’m going to be helping my older sister make some pudsey cakes with m&m’s for a DofE project she’s doing, we’ll be selling them at school just as soon as we get back!
your london trip sounds awesome, not just seeing the queen, but the play of War Horse, too! i’ve read it for school and i cried at the end :’) Shopping sounds cool too, i’ve been shoppingthis half term, but not nearly as posh as Camden and Covent Garden- i just went out with friends to get some halloween costumes!
