The last day of the year, party time, how exciting.
Mum was at work so we went to meet her for lunch.
We managed to not go to Costa's and had a McDonalds instead.
We sat up stairs in big comfy chairs.
Dad spent he afternoon cooking and making nasty smells in the kitchen (cod and red pepper sauce, smelt a bit vinegary).
We played games and watched some telly.
And finally had a full scale Nerf gun war over the house. Brilliant.
Once mum was home I finally got to pack my overnight bag, I was going to have a sleepover with Abi and Faye after the party, Marny was going to stay too.
We all thought Nick and Carol were very brave, or more acurrately, mad.
We had a great evening, playing games, eating cake pops.
Watching a DVD.
The girls all turned in pretty early, which was good for me, I got to play Jungle Speed and Dobble with the grown ups. Although we did pause briefly to acknowledge midnight and wish each other a happy new year. It was a proper late night, we didn't get home until about 2:30am.
Wednesday - New Years Day
Us girls had a great night, loads of fun. It was a little bit of an early rise for me at 8am, but apparently for Marny thats quite a lie in.
Did someone say lie in? How does 11:45 sound??? My record, very pleased with that.
I had to get up so we could go and get Ellis......
Well Mum was at work, so not a lot happened in the afternoon.
Thursday
Poor old Dad had to go back to work as well as Mum today, the early morning must have been a shock to his system.
It meant we got to spend the day with Auntie christine though.
Indeed it did, we did Making.
We did baking.
It was lovely.
Friday
Another day with Auntie christine.
We went to see Turbo at the cinema.
We really enjoyed it, i'm sure it was a better choice than Walking With Dinosaurs.
Lunch was at Pizza hut, I know, what an awesome day eh?
I helped mum take the decorations off th tree in the evening, I was very carfeul with the big glass baubles and didn't break any, a feat Dad usually manages with ease.
Saturday
Well the christmas tree was ejected through the window and all the rest of the clobber got taken down and put away for another year.
It's been a great Christmas, thanks to everyone thats bought us stuff, looked after us, played with us, fed us, watered us and made us laugh.
Yeah, we've had a brilliant time thats for sure.
In the afternoon I had Kimi round to play Skylanders, an event we'd initially planned for New Years day but my monster lie in put paid to that.
In what turned out to be a great arrangement, I got to go around to Marny's house and play with her while.
Then it was Saturday night telly time, Splash, the diving programme was back on which was good for a laugh.
Sunday
We had a trip out for the first time in ages to Oxford.
To visit the Ashmolean museum so I could see the war bit we weren't allowed in during our school visit.
The journey was pretty cool, we went to the park and ride and then got on the double decker bus into town.
Upstairs of course, where we could get a good view of all the flooding on the way in, there were what looked like lakes, but they had goal posts sticking up out of them.
And the park where we played in the summer holidays after we'd been to the Hinksey outdoor pool, looked wetter than the pool itself had.
We arrived in the town centre after I got a bit stressy over whether we had missed the right bus stop or not and made our way to the museum. I was pretty pleased to be able to show everyone one around as I knew where I was going pretty much.
It was pretty good in there, if you like nudie statues, we loved the bums and winkles!
But I didn't manage to find any real war bits which was a little bit disappointing really. There were some paintings by an artist called Malcolm Morley that we really liked though.
We had some lunch and then went back to see the rest of the museum but we still didn't find what Ned had come for.
No, but we did find the super boring rooms full of plates and china I had to endure on my school trip though......
Monday
Well, it was the last day of the holidays.
Yep, what a shame. Well, I say that, but quite honestly I think i'd quite like to go back now. I've been asking for sums and spellings as well as voluntarily reading for a while now.
Even i'm sort of looking forward to it in a way, i'll get to show off with my new bag anyway.
I packed it with all the stuff from my old, battered book bag in readiness.
I decided what I really wanted to do was spend my last day pf the holidays cleaning! We did the kettle, the toaster, the sink the work tops, the tiles, the windows the microwave, in fact anything I could buff, wipe, scrub or polish!
Then I polished my school shoes so well you could see your reflection in them.
While this was going on, I dedicated myself to a game called Duck Life on the PC, it was brilliant.
I continued my domestic duties in the afternoon by repairing my Hello Kitty cushion with a little bit of sewing.
I played a couple of levels of Skylanders with dad when he got home from work.
We rounded the day off playing Just Dance on the Wii.
Then an early night in readiness for school tomorrow.
