Trash Towers Dictionary

a/c - art crap. CK's fond term for the means of assuaging my addictions.

BSD - Been Seen Done. Devised while travelling the Great Ocean Road on CK's first Australian trip. Every lookout point was as fabulous as the previous and we got a little bit magnificenced out so rather than pull in we would shout BSD and keep driving.

Now general usage for when a situation is over or beyond repair.

bob - noun. Princess Curly- Wurly's word meaning all sweets, chocolate and yummy things.

lubbard - derived from 'beloved'. Devised by my then two y.o. son b/c unlike his sister he could not say 'Mother Beloved'. Usually prefaced by a noun.

OfStEd - Office for Standards in Education. Bossy civil servants who would like to see every child in formal, full-time education from birth.

Q.I. - Quite interesting.

terence - sobriquet applicable to all small children. Originated with one 'borrowed' child who could not pronounce ' terrorist' .

It has been sooooooo long since the rather fabulous WMK accepted me into her 'good people' programme I am beginning to feel a bit of shame creeping in around the edges.

What is supposed to happen is that when the good person sends out a special parcel to you you have a year to send on something else to three other people.
Hmmmm ... fell right at that first hurdle!

So here I publicly declare to you all that as of now the first three people who indicate in the comments that they would like to join the 'good people programme' will receive from me a 'something' handmade. Just remember to send the 'good people vibe' out into the world again to another three people.
sincerely,
trash.

Ooh, never been part of a PIF - would have loved to join in but 1) too late and 2) reliability with making stuff not my strong point just now due to well, you know what. Boo. Looking forward to seeing the goodness though - pictures please!
