Tuesday
Well I had Gymnastics at school and after scool today.  The people from the gymnastics club are coming into school to teach us all, how cool is that?
We had Netball with no year six players this week, they are concentrating on their SAT's now so thats that for them and we're the senior players now.

Wednesday
Well i'm still waiting for the last few stragglers to reply to my party invites.....it's only a few days away.
I had my swimming lesson, the best thing about it was the walk there.  Ned and I have worked out that a short, stout stick dragged along the fence alongside the cricket makes a most satisfying sound.
Yeah, it's great, you can change the noise by running, walking, up or down.
Dad bought a sample invitation for my party home from work.  I gave him a very detailed design brief, which he managed to fulfill. I authorised the full production print run.

Thursday
I love Thursday, much as I love dance, gymnastics and swimming I do love having no clubs and a Ned free hour after school to chill out with the telly.

Friday
Golden time this week ended up being needlework.  It was actually pretty brilliant, I learned loads of different types of stitching, i never knew even existed.
Cricket club was cancelled this week, which was a shame as I was really looking forward to it.
We cheered him up by going to Tesco to choose the sweets and cake for his party bags though.
Yeah, I loved that.  Cheered me right up.
I also wrote out my party invites to hand out at school next week!

Saturday
Well my Quad kids was cancelled as it was supposed to be wet and windy.
That meant we could stay in and concentrate on my television appearance.
Except we didn't see her.
Nope, if it was on we must have missed it.  Still, it was a nice chance for some snuggling up:
My friend Robert came round mid afternoon.  We'd arranged for him to come home from Quadkids with us for some Xbox before my party so this meant we got even more Xbox time.
He was pretty good fun, I liked him.
It was party time, we went to pick up Hugo on the way and headed for the pool.  So, this Wobsticle thing, it's an infatible, two lane assault course type thing that stretches two thirds of the way down the pool, a bit like total wipeout I suppose?
Alastair had forgotten his trunks, he didn't want to go in his pants and didn't want Dad to buy him any new ones from the shop at the Centre.  We left a voicemail for his Mum and Dad to bail him out.....
Apparently you had to be 8 years old to join in.....well, i'm pretty tall and i'm nearly 7.  So we decided i'd give it a go too. I hadn't bargained on Ned's friends being such a bunch of dobbers though, first off telling the man I was seven, and then, telling him I was six.  Anyway, he said he didn't care as long as I passed the swimming test we all had to do.
We had to swim a width and then a length of the pool, which we all managed thankfully.
By this point Ali had his trunks delivered and joined us.
But there was drama pretty much straight away when Liam got into a bit of a situation after he slid off the slide at the end and used Chokoon as a bouyancy aid.  Before we knew it the life gaurd was in the water dragging the pair of them out.  
He did say he was a bit eager to get in and they would have most liely been okay, still, better safe than sorry.
The rest of us carried on and had a great time.  We raced each other, fell off, splashed, slipped and all the rest of it.
It was pretty tiring it has to be said, but I had Ella keeping an eye on me.
Teagan lost a tooth and managed not to lose it, mum wrapped it in a tissue for her.
The hour or so we had in the water flew by and it was soon time to get out.
Mum was amazed how quickly we all got changed afterwards.
All we had to do was hand out the party bags, which went down very well indeed.
We dropped Liam off at home, then Hugo.
Then I unwrapped my presents, the highlight of which (aside from the brilliant Castle Lego set from Tegan) were the sweets, lots of lovely sweets:
It was the usual Saturday night routine after that, Britains Got Talent with Ellis buzzing every act with the app on her Ipod.
I am a bit trigger happy, it must be said.
As an added bonus we also watched the end of the Eurovision song contest....it's weird.

Sunday
We were going to have a day out somewhere or another, but after a bit of a lay in and a weather forecast warning of heavy rain in the afternoon we decided on a quick jaunt to Snelsmore with the bikes.
It was great fun, pretty muddy so loads of sliding about in the gloop.
The rope swings were as brilliant as ever.
In the afternoon we went into town to try and get some bits and bobs.
I perused Game to see what I might spend my vouchers on.
And I ended up in Blacks to get a new raincoat for the summer.
We made friends with this chap:
He was a bit quiet.
We headed home and had a game of Labyrinth.

Monday
Well I had a rubbish day at school.  I seemed to be getting it in the neck from all angles for everything.  I came home and had a cry about it all.
Quad kids practice resumed after school, what with the competition being pushed back into next month so that was good.
