You see, I have made a promise, a pledge, a commitment.

But there’s a catch.

No I’ve not sold my soul to a malingering monkey disguised as Elizabeth Taylor.

And I haven’t agreed to shave my head in aid of homeless alcoholic shrews

And I definitely won’t be dunking my biscuits in a bucket of squid

But, if I fail, if I fall in the face of adversity, then I will allow Miss M, that is Miss M my 4 year old daughter, to do my make up, and will then post a picture of it on my blog.

Bear in mind this is the child who thinks more is more.  When she crayons a picture she tends to go for the multi-coloured look, and erm, realism isn’t her thing, so I could be in trouble here people.

So what have I pledged to do?

Well, having been tagged by the fabulous Almost Mrs Average over at the Rubbish DIet, I have joined a merry band of parent bloggers in supporting Recycle week 22nd-27th June.

You can see my pledge by clicking here… 

It may sound an easy task, except at my new house I don’t have a composter, and I’m not sure I’ll be getting one anytime soon or where I’ll put one, so, I’ll be composting by storing my fresh fruit and veg waste, tea bags, lolly sticks, gerbil bedding etc in a lovely box, then ferrying them over to my parents house to feed their garden beast.

Nice right?

The lovely Almost Mrs Average says:

“to spread the word about Recycle Week amongst the British Mummy Blogger network whose talented members are always up for supporting a good cause. Who knows, maybe I can turn them into Mummy Garbloggers too.

So today I am launching a new meme tag, with the challenge to see how many of the 300-or-so BMB members can sign up to a Recycle Week pledge over the next two weeks as well as blog about it!

And the rules are easy:

1. Visit www.recyclenow.com and sign up to one of the pledges to waste less.

2. Share details of your pledge on your own blog.

3. Chose five other bloggers, who will also be up for a bit of recycling fun.

4. Come back to this post at The Rubbish Diet and share your pledge with others, by placing a link to your pledge in the comments field.

5. Optional – as a thank you to all involved The Rubbish Diet will be publishing a British Mummy Bloggers’ Recycle Week carnival on Monday 29th June. To be included, simply submit your favourite post revealing the progress of your pledge by Saturday 27th June – email to karen[at]therubbishdiet[dot]co[dot]uk.”

Seems pretty simple right? 

SO, I am tagging:

1.  Mr Dan the man over at All That Comes With It who is looking for volunteers for his next big walk in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust.

2. The lovely Emily at Maternal Tales from the South Coast

3. The fabulous Laura from Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy

4.  The gorgeous Tasha (Coding Mummy) at Wahm-Bam 

and

5.  The blumming marvellous Tara at Sticky FIngers

And even if you’re not tagged, if you can, take the time to make a pledge, you probably won’t regret it…

Hee hee.
