Great work teams.

Warm Fuzzie Day

Emily talks about Warm Fuzzie day...

On Friday 20 September I did a Warm Fuzzie day for my Casebrook Challenge. Here is how it works: There is a game and an all day box. The game is called Pay it Forward, and here is how you play. Everyone stands in a massive circle, and then pick a person to start.

 The selected person pays a compliment to the person to their right and so on until you come back to the start, and then turn around to go back the other way. If there is both genders try and mix them up as much as possible.

 The all day box is a shoebox with no lid, and everybody who played Pay it Forward puts in two compliments. During the day when you feel down in the dumps, take out a compliment. Have a lot of fun :)

Letters to Wrigley

Three of us wrote letters to Wrigley suggesting new bubble gum flavours. Caitlin M wrote asking for strawberry flavoured Extras. They wrote back saying they already had those. Emily wrote asking for orange flavoured Hubba Bubbas. They said they had already tried that but they stopped because they weren't popular enough. I wrote asking for lime Hubba Bubbas and they said they can't take any ideas from outside Wrigley. Oh well.
