Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Trampolining club was back on after the Christmas lay off, brilliant! There was only me and two other boys but I didn't care at all. I bounced, did loads of tricks (particularly good was my split jumps this week) and we even had a games session of eggs in the basket and cat and mouse. I also made sure I told the instructor lady about every single present I had for Christmas and every single place we'd been over the last month or so in great detail. I bailed early so we could have 20 minutes in bumpers. Much to Dad's relief, i'm quite happy to go off exploring the climbing stuff alone as some of it is a little bit tight in places.
When Ellis came to meet me from school she was on her trike, brilliant! I love it when she brings the trike as we have got quite an entertaining double act going on with it.
Yes we have Ned, even if we did both end up flat on our backs when it flipped over backwards.
I went to Shimons for tea on Thursday night so that was cool.
I got Dad to myself all afternoon, lucky me eh?
Once Dad picked me up from nursery on Friday we went to Waitrose to get some baking ingredients, we were going to make rock buns with a twist, using chocolate and marshmallows instead of yucky old raisins. They didn't have any marsgmallows though (which is a good thing as even though they're pink I don't like them) and after careful consideration we settled on fudge pieces instead.
Good choice there Ellis, as soon as we got home from school it was cooking o'clock....the sooner they were in the oven the sooner we had the bowl to lick clean you know!
They turned out a bit more like biscuits than buns but they tasted nice so we weren't too bothered.
We went swimming on saturday morning to the Coral Reef. It was pretty busy when we got there but it didn't bother us, we soon made room for jumping in off the side!
...and some heavy duty splashing of course. I also made the big step of going down the fastest flume slide for the first time. I had a couple of goes on the medium one and decided it was time. The flume itself is an even smaller diameter than the usual ones so it was pretty scary but there was no backing out. It was fast, really, reallty fast. So fast in fact that it made my head bang back against the slide in the first corner. It was quite a bump but it didn't put me off having another go!
Abi and Faye came round to see us Saturday night, we had tea together:

Before we had a good time playing with our Barbies and cuddly toys.
I tolerated them for a while:

But decided an early night was the best policy.

I stayed up super late and had a great time!

There wasn't a whole lot of action on Sunday morning other than Dad trying to destroy the kitchen, one unit at a time. We left him to it and slugged about watching telly for a bit until we were forced to go to Sainsbury's, looking for an apparently unavailable specific sized cake tin for the afternoons pudding. They didn't have one and we had to make do with the next nearest size.

After lunch we took the bikes down the park.

To have a go with my rocket I got for christmas. You had to mix baking soda with vinegar to make it blast off and I was really excited. The problem is, we had Baking 'Powder' or Bicarbonate of 'Soda' in the cupboard so we weren't quite sure which one to use (even after a Google session). In the end we plumped for Baking powder which I think was the wrong choice, given that the rocket failed to do anything other than produce a small stream of white foam while it sat on it's launch pad.

As if that wasn't bad enough, a little dog decided to have a wee up the back tyre of my bike! How rude, I was not a happy girl at all.

After school today we went to Tesco to get Hugo his birthday present and card (it's his party Saturday and i'm talking about nothing else).

And after that the excitment levels went up a notch with a trip to Homebase of all places.

Actually, it was pretty cool in there, I loved the axes!

And I got some lovely pink storage bins to keep all my lovely new christmas toys tidy!
