I was tired out after school and all set to give gymnastics a miss, until Dad pointed out that it was only two weeks until our competition. I decided I ought to cram in all the practice I could get and to get down there quick smart. It went really well and I really enjoyed myself. I'm still practicing my splits and i'm starting to get pretty close to pulling it off.
Wednesday
I got my school photo back today, it's actually pretty good too! Much to Mum and Dad's surprise.
I'm doing harder spellings still, I still haven't been found out. This weeks were particularly difficult I think, all on a shape theme (rhombus, parallelogram, equilateral, you get the picture).
It was my first week of indoor team Kennet as well, I loved it, the rest of the family arrived early top pick me up and were very impressed with my running. I love the confined space and the turning boards we used propped up at each end of the hall. I always make sure I never look round and dip for the line, even though we're only training.
Thursday
I got my school photo back too, again it's a really nice shot.
In my after school dancing the final part involved getting a willing accomplice from the crowd, in my case Dad and Ellis were on hand. They were both more than willing to get involved too, in Dads case maybe a little too willing?
Our rooms for Ufton Court were announced too, I was well pleased as i'm in with loads of my mates.
After our bath I asked Mum to give me loads of little platts so i'd have curly hair in the morning...
And I got to try out my new 'Ufton Court' destined dressing gown:
A little large maybe, but so snuggly and soft. I've barely taken the thing off since i've got it.
Friday
Well the hair worked out a treat:
Curly as a curly thing! I went off to school proper pleased but got rather bored of people asking me about it after a quite a short time.
It was fun week at swimming, brilliant it was too!
I had my school disco, I was buzzing. I danced all night and came home pink as usual then watched the end of the England football match.
Saturday
Swimming, Bracknell.
Awesome, it was really nice, it really is a lot less grotty than The Oasis it has to be said. My biggest achievement was going down the super fast slide....twice. Even though you apparently have to be 8 to go on them (as we found out after i'd been on them already)
I did the good big brother bit and went up the tower with her, i'm good like that.
It was a swift Mcdonalds for lunch.
And then a quick play on the park before heading for a spot of shopping...
Before coming home for strictly and snuggling.
Sunday
What a horrible, grey, wet day.
We decided the best use of such a day would be to stay in our pyjamas, eat well, watch telly and play board games.
We did indeed, although I did get packed for Ufton Court!
Have I mentioned my trip to Ufton Court yet at all? Ha ha, it is seriously exciting.
Monday
Ned was up early and full of Ufton excitement, quite honestly i'm pretty glad he's going today as i've just about heard enough about it now!
Mum took me to Ufton in the car once we'd dropped Ellis off at school. I took a load of snapshots when we pulled up the drive, it was certainly a lovely looking Tudor building. I was glad to see Robert and Ben were already there when we arrived. I was the envy of them with my smart wheeled bag which I dragged carefree accross the gravel while they struggled with their holdalls. Mum gave me a kiss and I told her in no uncertain terms it was time for her to leave now.
So I came from scool to a Nedless house. I got sole custody of the telly remote which was rather nice. We also had a really civilised evening meal, plenty of pleasant conversation and no waiting for hours on end for Ned to finish........
