Mr Gilhams after school club was cancelled on Tuesday dur to lack of numbers, it's a shame I can't go to the Wednesday one really, but thats dancing day.
We've started a new project at school, to design a system to allow an egg to be dropped from the school roof without it breaking.  We're going to use a parachute to increase it's wind resistance for starters and then i've got mum and dad to plunder their work for packing materials and bubble wrap.  I am mega excited about it and have talked about it almost non stop!
There was a 'meet my new teacher' evening as well.  Ellis and I went along and played in the ICT suite while Mum and Dad had a browse round my new classroom and a chat with my new teacher Miss Walsh.  It all seemed to go very well, but then i'm still super enthusiastic about school at the moment.
Dancing again on wednesday, cool.
And i'm a little happier to read in the car with Dad now, we have a new reading diary to fill in and get signed off.  If we read everyday, we get a house point.  I'm mad for house points me!
I did my dancing on Thursday, still loving it.
And im enjoying going to watch him, even if we do sometimes have to dart back to take our Tesco delivery.
Major excitment on Friday, Mum said she would take us to Pizza Hut as a treat for my continued and much improved efforts at school.
It was lovely, especially the salad bar!
Especially the Tango, and the pizza...had to have an adult sized one as they'd run out of child size bases!  Ha ha, I always get a good deal in Pizza Hut.
We had a quick shopping trip afterwards but I didn't get anything.
I did, a smart new pair of running shoes, just what I needed with the onset of cross country season.  I love them to bits, and of course I haven't walked anywhere since i've had them....100mph all the way!
We were on our way home when we got a call from Laura, she said she's moved into her new house and would we like to go around and have a look...of course we did! I was even more excited about this than Pizza Hut.  It seems to have taken for ever for her and Darcey to move but at last it's finally happened.
It's so cool that she's so near to us now, we can't wait to be a pest at every oppurtunity.
We had a good old look around and decided that it was a lovely house.
And then we cleared off and left Dad and Owen to lift some stuff around and generally get in the way while we headed off to bed.
It took a lengthy bout of petitioning on saturday morning to get them to take us to town on Saturday morning.  I've heard great things about Moshi Monsters in the new toy shop 'The Entertainer' thats just opened.
I wasn't complaining, we got to look for a new pair of winter boots for me that Mum decided I must have.  After a few differences of opinion on what styles we liked (me, anything pink and sparkly, Mum and Dad, anything but) we found a lovely pair that everyone agreed on, furry trim like a cat, but brown and fairly classic styling.
We also got a few bits and pieces of clothing to top up our stocks.
Including the coolest, brightest hoody i'd ever seen for me!
We headed home for lunch before making a visit to another new home, this time Auntie Trish's in Amazingstoke.
It's all move move move isn't it!
Anyway, her flat is super cool, firstly it has super slidy wooden floors, secondly it has views of the flume slides at the leisure park (if you crane your neck a bit) and it's right close to JJ's!
She also has a spare bedroom......
After that, it was a rush trip back to pick up Andy and Owen before heading off to Pewsey for the carnival.
We had a mega stash of coins to throw as well (thanks Auntie Trish).
We got there in plenty of time to bag a great spot, right outside the curry house that was selling takeaway outside. 
That pleased the grown ups no end.
We were quite happy with our illuminated trinkets as well.
There weren't quite as many floats as last year, but it was still great fun and we loved it.
Even if it was a bit of a wait before it got started.  I din't even ask for much shoulder carrying action either.
We were pretty late home, so Sunday morning was a rather relaxed affair.
Until about an hour before we had to be at the pub for lunch with Abi and Faye!
After a small flurry of activity we were soon ready though.  Good job we hadn't planned anything else for the day, it was dull, grey and very wet!
But it was nice in the pub (The Furze Bush).  I certainly brightened the place up with my new hoody.
I had a great time with the girls and totally loved my roast beef dinner with chocolate ice cream pudding.
We went home and did a bit of homework (boo) before watching Monsters Inc on telly (yay).
I loved it, what a great film, can't believe they haven't shown it to me before?
Back to school today. 
I didn't have a great day and just seemed to get into trouble for everything. Still, I felt a bit better about it all after i'd told Mum and Dad what had happened.
I had a great day, especially after school Street Dance club.  Brilliant stuff.  Even if I have now managed to lose all of my cardigans.  Dad came in with me, we searched the classroom, the cloakroom and the lost property basket and didn't find any of them, oh dear.  mum is not impressed with me at all and says i'm not having any more and i'll have to be cold!
