When you work in Primary School you have to be in touch with your inner child…..and I don’t think anyone would argue when I say I am! I especially like to dress up……….I can’t wait to be a Grandma because I’ve got the biggest dressing up box in the loft roof space that I’m waiting to get back out again. It’s skewed a bit towards superheroes…..we’ve got Superman, Spiderman, Mr Incredible, Batman, Darth Vader, Bob the Builder and many more. I do believe there’s even a full size crocodile suit up there.
Well today was another opportunity to get dressed up for work……yaaaaay. Today is BBC Children in Need Day, that one day a year when the nation comes together to raise money for exactly that, children in need. The Children in Need mascot is a huge yellow bear called Pudsey and to raise money we all make a donation at school, adults and children, and go to work in our pyjamas. It’s not always the most productive day as there’s something psychological about going to work in your pyjamas and dressing gown, I yawn a lot and feel really tired like my mind thinks I should be in bed.
Well today it was a win win situation. You might have read in an earlier post that I don’t like this time if year and I’d prefer to be a bear and hibernate. Well………I managed to find an all in one set of bright yellow Pudsey Bear pyjamas. So not only was I able to get dressed up….I was a bear for the day too, fantastic!
The only slight issue was the need for petrol on the way to work. The Pudsey driving the Mini did get a few smiles down at the local garage when I bounced across the forecourt to pay, but hey ho, it’s all for a good cause and wasn’t anywhere near as embarrassing as my trip to Asda supermarket dressed as Red Ranger from Power Rangers last year. If you can put a smile on someone’s face it’s got to be worth embarrassing yourself!
