What a Gob

I went to the shops to buy some digestive biscuits and milk. As I was leaving Ernie called out can you get some Radox…When I got to the check out having grabbed the last pkt of bicceys….the check out lady asked for 15 dollars I realised that there may not be enough on the card…I guessed right…So I said Take $5 from the card and I have $10 in cash… while I was waiting for the card to go through I looked at the items I was buying and started to consider which item to leave behind….Milk definitely not…So… radox or choc bicceys mmmm…. ordinarily I would have put the choc biscuits back but tonight I needed them for the photo shoot, I knew Ernie wouldn’t mind as he was going to be my model for the ’Dunking in the chocolate biscuits into the cup of tea shots’. Fortunately I was able to buy all three items.
I got home and made a cup of tea for Ernie and I, I then placed the biscuits on a plate and went to get my camera ready to take the shots…as I asked Ernie to start dunking and he looked at me with his mouth full, looking very guilty…I then looked at the packet and saw to my horror he had already dunked nearly all of biscuits and said he was full… So I made him force down 2 more (which he managed very well!)… and I got the shot.

After much deliberating and pontificating with regards to...The all important ‘self definition’ of my BLOG name…I was trying to be clever with words or wit! Or just a plain basic title because I couldn't decied on anything! I found myself becoming very irritated by the lack of decisiveness. Not a very ‘Anna’ thing to do!(private joke)
So I got out my book of English Idioms and stared reading…Some time latter nearly at the T’s it came to me… so I proceeded to register and filled in my chosen name and then…it was already taken grrrrrr…Then suddenly it really did come to me again...SO ‘I took the bull by the horns’ (another ‘Idiom’) not wasting another moment and went for it…Why?

The title I have chosen is nothing to do with Idioms or wit or intelligence…It represents a love thing, summing one of the favourite things my family ‘love to do!’! Where ever we are there is one thing that we all do and do it well I might add... it will always take us to the ‘Home’ not a brick and water type of home but a home where of course the heart is…So my K & U where ever you may be right now have a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit (McVities of course), if you have any left in the cupboard, and start dunking…Anyone who hasn’t tried this ‘at home’ I must responsibly say now that this action comes with a warning and consequences…Do this at your own risk and be warned it is very delicious and addictive it has been know for my lovely man to dunk a whole packet away…So why not discover what kind of Dunker you are?

P.S. In reference to the ‘Anna’ thing it was decided by me, having watched ‘September Edition’ at the movies, and hearing Anna Wintour answer the question ‘What is your strength?’ Her reply being…’Decisiveness’ When I heard that I thought... YES that is what I want to start doing…Being more decisive. This is very hard for someone who ordinarily finds making choices very difficult.
