Blogging From A-Z Challenge today has us looking at the letter ‘H.’ This seems to be rather a staid and serious letter, being all proud and upright. However, my word for the day is far from it!
Higgledy-piggledy is a wonderful word on so many levels, It rhymes (always a bonus in my book), and it has a silly, wacky quality to it that is s appealing, This word is all of a jumble, mixed up and in a mess.
It is the state of Miss Hap’s bedroom! It is stuff haphazardly chucked about all over the place; cupboards stuffed full of all sorts of junk, balancing precariously on top of each other just waiting to spring out at the poor unsuspecting sod that dares to open the door!
It is where everything is topsy-turvy, upside down, helter-skelter, and in complete disarray.There is no order in the chaos…
Sounds a bit like my posts really!

The best word ever! Another good H word is hooey!

Ooh, higgledly-piggledy is a great word! It doesn’t get used nearly enough, especially in the States, which is probably, like, almost never. 😛

Hi and thanks so much for commenting! I’m glad you liked it, and I think you will have to try and use it more often over in the States so others can appreciate it! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
