strange house guests..

As you know I have RP (Replacement Bear for Busy Bear) staying over here for the Christmas Holidays ,,,, he arrived a few days ago and after meeting us Norvern folk ... promptly disappeared.

I know he ain't used to being sociable after the treatment Busy Bears Kudler gave to him but I thought for sure we could turn him around with our Northern kindness & hospitality .....

I am afraid though this has not been the case....... I found him tonight (thank goodness) housed in the Dolls House. He has put up the USA flag and has his personal teddy standing guard as security.

All I could make out from him was

'I am on American soil... this is my home .. I claim immunity'

My Kudlers Dolls House is now an American Embassy................she won't be best chuffed about that I can tell you !!

Goodness BB what on earth did you do to this bear over the years ??

Sue where are you when I need some female logic and TLC ??

set another place for dinner dear......

I managed to finally persuade my kudler to go to the post office and see what the parcel was that was waiting for her. We had recieved the notification a few days before but as the opening hours for collection are 06.30 - 12.00 hours a day had to be chosen were kudler had time to queue up before work.

yoh the parcel is from California.... it must be Replacement Bear!!!!!

Kudler carefully removed the sellotape and opened the box.

We both stood there in silence (I am glad Sue wasn't there at the time ... she has a god awful scream)...

RP didn't appear to be breathing ... there was no movement ... I whispered to kudler

'he obviously only had enough air and food to last him the journey .. it was those 3 days lying in the Post Office that has done it!!'

I reached into the box to stroke poor RPs head and..........
He shot bolt upright, waving a flag and starting singing

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Lets just say I had to quickly change my trousers.
Kudler was creased up on the floor laughing ... when she regained her composure she says

'at least he has come prepared to work over christmas as he has brought his own tea towel' kudler hates drying dishes.. I think she was taking a dig at me....

I called Sue over now I realised RP was alive and kicking ... and she being such a doll honoured RP with a pair of reindeer earings... he did look a bit bewildered to say the least ....but they do suit him

'Welkum to the UK Reeplacmnt bear.. so pleezd to hve u heer for Kristmuz. arh home is yr home ... help yourself 2 wat u want nd hope yr stae is a cumfurtable 1'

He looked at me with a blank expression ......I don't think he understood me... it must be my Northern England accent !!!

It is not going too well !!!!
To make matters worse suddenly we were mobbed by the menagerie that Sue has in the toy box... they are out of control I tell you

'ya no my lyttle ol' Inglish cuzins, this heer bare is gonna get sum shut I...eye hv barelagg. c y'all l8r'

No idea what he said but he got back in his box and covered himself up in his tea towel

Next morning I got another shock ... the box was empty... I knew I shouldn't have left him alone with the cats........ ...... (to be continued....)

Replacement Bear

So, yeah...I'm Replacement Bear. Click my picture to read my story...

gUeSS who is ComIng For diNNer??

Yes I, Snowy bear, am having a special visitor all the way from the US of A to join our Christmas table in the UK..

Must tell my kuddler to set an extra place for the feast.

The 'special' visitor was placed in a carton today so I expect him here in about 10 days... so much to do, so little time and we haven't even got a single decoration up here yet .... unless you count the reindeer that has been hanging on a kitchen cupboard that the kuddler forgot about last year .. and thought it bad luck to take down after the event... sheesh!!

So watch this space for his arrival ... I am not to sure what to expect as I believe he is a bit disturbed and way hung up about stuff because he was labelled a 'substitute' , 'not my bear', 'take it away' to the main kuddler who owns him... I hope he won't be too much of a disruption??

Sue is good at TLC so must get her on board for this one... kid gloves maybe the order of the day ....

PRODUCT REVIEW – in a way

Those lovely people at Fuel My Blog arranged for some snacks to be delivered to me to try, made by Wholebake.
Unfortunately, Daddy Papersurfer got to them before I did, so I can’t say much except *grumph*.



I did notice however that the makers were probably old hippies as the bars contained hemp, had a picture of weed on the packaging and even the name, 9 Bar, has connotations with the days of ‘peace and love’. [9 Bar is a term used by dealers for a 9 ounce bar of pot – DP didn’t know anything about all this, I had to tell him].

Anyway, he said they were delicious, although he found the individual bars rather large and filling. He would have preferred there were four smaller bars rather then three large ones.
They are the sort of snack he likes, healthy and all that, but be warned, they are still quite calorific, so don’t assume healthy means non-fattening.

If Mark, who runs Wholebake, would like to send me some more, I would be very grateful. Some anti-DP device should be employed, like long words on the envelope to confuse him and then I might stand a chance of ‘getting me some’. I could go and buy some I suppose at Waitrose, Asda, Sainsbury, Tesco, Morrison’s or Holland & Barrett but I haven’t got any money – *grumph*.
