Fudge, orders and other stuff

This week Mummy and I have been making some fudge, but I cannot say we have been successful. The first batch was grainy, the second batch was a bit better, but I was very disappointed when the third batch didn't work out. My little sister did make pistachio fudge which everyone said was 'very nice', but personally I think it tasted like a lump of dark chocolate with nuts in.


Also, I got a parcel in the post from Save The Children a couple of days ago, and it turned out to be a pack of fundraising stuff!!!! There were posters, collecting tins, sashes for me to wear, and lots and lots of STICKERS!!!!!!! This was an exciting parcel to get, and Mummy had to stop my sisters from getting covered all over in them.


Believe it or not ,this is not washing up liquid, this is cooking fudge!!!!!
Finally, back to the subject of biscuits. Now, I don't know about your family, but we always leave a little something for Santa. I was thinking about setting up an online booking thing where you can order personalised biscuits and have them delivered on Christmas Eve. For example, there would maybe be six biscuits in a pack, with two for Santa, and the others with names chosen by you. (This is only for Black Tom Streets, but we are thinking about posting for an extra price.)

Also , we are thinking about peanut butter fudge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)        {:)

Bye for now, Sophie:){:)

And the charity is...

I spent Saturday afternoon doing a bit of research on charities to give our £10 Challenge money to.

We have decided to donate to Save the Children because it is a charity that does lots of different things to help children.



By the way, have you seen this advert yet? We think it is epic! We all love the books - especially our littlest sister, Charlotte.

We are definitely going to make personalised biscuits to order - with a name on one for each person in your family, or whatever you like. We are looking for a small (and friendly!) shop in Bedford where people who order our biscuits could go and collect them. Does anyone reading have any ideas about who we could ask?

We love sweets, and we want to try making some. But, we cannot decide on what sweets to make that would be popular. We were thinking about fudge or peppermint creams. Which do you like the best?

Please leave a comment. We love reading them!

The Great Beginning........

I think Mummy must have got a bit (a lot) sick  of me and my sisters arguing, for she has started talking about a £10 challenge.

Each of us (except Charlotte, my littlest sister, who is only two) are going to be given a tenner and we have to try to make it into more. The base of it is going to be a "Window Wanderland", happening in Black Tom streets, where we live in Bedford. 

We are going to make little things for Christmas like biscuits, sweets, gift tags, and little Christmas trees. The money that we make is going to go to a charity that we will choose. We are going to plan this in our own little club, `The Famouse Three'.

Crumbs, Princess Polly and Summer
The Famouse Three is a club made up of me and my sisters - we do drawing, eat sweets, discuss ideas, and, argue. It is called The Famouse Three because we bring our mice (pictured above).

These are the kind of biscuits we are going to sell
We are thinking about making little family packets of biscuits - what do you think? So, it could be a named biscuit for each person in the family (and maybe a couple of extras for Santa on Christmas Eve..?). We thought if people like the idea they could order a packet from us, and we would make them in time for Christmas Eve.


It would be very handy if you commented to tell us what you think, and. maybe what price you think we should do. If you have any other suggestions, please say.

I'll be back with more news about the charity once we have chosen it. Goodbye!

It is bath time now and I do not want Mummy to start nagging me.
