When Littlestuff tried the Minute To Win It Challenge (and mostly failed)

Last week a very big purple box arrived in the house.

It was stuffed to the gills with all sorts of weird stuff (and chocolate) – and last Saturday the children and I decided to make use of it.

We spent one of the most fun afternoons we’ve had in a very long time.

The Oreo challenge - place it on your forehead, and get it into your mouth without using your hands. Involved hilarious facial twitchings. No.1 the only person to actually achieve this.

Coat nose in vaseline. Using said nose, transfer cotton wool balls from bowl A to bowl B. (I won this one. Big Time. *smug big-nosed face*)

No.1 got seriously cross at that particular refusing-to-leave cotton ball. It was cheating apparently.

Set up a line of cups, hold a large bunch of rubber-ended pencils. Bounce pencil on table top and make it vault into a glass. TOP game of the afternoon - three rounds hotly contested, ending in a tie between No.1 and Boy. I lost. Abysmally. Beaten even by the 4yr old.

Bounce a ping pong ball on ALL three dinner plates and into the bowl. Stupid game. Impossible. Much crossness and lobbing of ping pong balls (and subsequent hunting of said ping pong balls). Jolly DID hit all three plates as I took this though - we gave him bonus points.

Ah, yes. the old pick-an-orange-up-in-your-knees-and-waddle game. I declined to partake. No.1 tried, failed dreadfully to even lift the orange off the ground once in the 60 seconds and swore it couldn't be done. Boy and Jolly took 15 secs each to complete the task. *eyeroll*

Obviously, to celebrate the final scores there must be silly dancing ('Roman Dancer' off-the-shoulder look optional. Mmm-hmmm).

Minute To Win It is a new eight-part series on ITV2, presented by Cadbury Spots v Stripes, which sees contestants compete in equally bonkers 60-second challenges using everyday household objects.
