Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Tuesday

It was the last of our 10 week swimming course with ths school.  We were all braced for a fun week like we have at out of school lessons....what we actually got was a load of relay races instead.  Fun week?  I don't think so!  Epsecially when the others down the shallow end got to play water polo.Last To continue our transition to Juniors we got to have lunch time at the Junior school.
I did such good work in the afternoon (for Mrs Wright no less) that I got picked to make a card for a visitor who was leaving, I loved doing that.

It was Evies party after school and while Ned was at netball I had Dad all to myself to paint my nails then dry them with the hairdrier.  I also sought his advice on eye shadow (he said not to use any) and he helped neaten up the edges of my lipstick.

The party was at her house, the highlight had to be the Pinata, which I smashed to smithereens scattering the contents everywhere.  It does help to be a bit heavy handed now and again!

I was also quite prepared to get involved and put myself forward to be decorated as a snowman, by being wrapped completely in toilet roll.

Wednesday

We've had a long spell of not getting ready in the mornings.
Yeah, most mornings have ended up rather tense affairs.
So today we got up really early in an attempt to sort this out.

It was a good idea, although we didn't quite achieve our aim as we just slouched about for longer!

I had a Netball match after school so had to miss football club.  I didn't mind.  We played St. Finnians school who were a bit late getting to our school due to traffic.  It didn't matter though as we had a warm up game amongst ourselves. 
I had to go and watch too, which was well boring, until Harry turned up and we went to the adventure playground.
I also got my words for our end of year school play, the jungle book.  We have to do our vulture song 'acapella' you know.

Thursday

I got up nice and early and watched the second installment of the documentary about the battle of Bannockburn on the Iplayer, it was really interesting.

Friday

As it was sports day and Mum was coming to watch, we could have a lay in!
Yay!

Sports day itself was really good, even if I did keep getting pipped to the line by Alastair in our races, still I got lots of second places.  In the house points we started off well in the lead, but it didn't last long and we had to settle for third overall by the time all the results were in.

Ali came for a sleepover Friday night.  We had a great time, even though I told Dad he liked peperroni pizza and cheesecake.  He didn't like either.  Oh dear.  We went down the park for a bit and we geeked out on Monecraft and played a bit of Xbox too. 

I helped Dad put up one of our old tents he was intending to use at the weekend.  I found it hilarious, it looked so small, I told him he'd never fit in it.

We decided a DVD was a good way to round out the evening but nothing in our home library seemed to quite fit the bill.  We took a trip to Tesco to see what they had and after much well reasoned discussion settled on Robocop.  Ali wanted action, I wanted laughs.  Dad also put a double Mr Bean DVD in the basket for me to watch another time with Ellis.
Yeah, we love Mr Bean.

I didn't quite make it to the end of the film before I nodded off.......but we were no trouble at all, very well behaved.  All Ali asked for was our Wifi code for his Ipad, he can come again!

Saturday

Dad packed his bike stuff and his funny little tent and disappeared off with Andy and Owen.

A bike trip!  I wasn't jealous though, they were only going downhilling.

I had a lovely lazy morning.

I still had Ali round of course, we played some more Xbox and ate Coco Pops.

They cleared off down the park or something so Mum and I popped into town for a bit of a girly shopping trip, it was lovely.  I made sure I took horsey along for the ride too:

We had a lovely day, and ended up just sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine in the afternoon:

With Mum in control for tea time it was a free for all.
Mum and I had fish fingers and chips.  Deelish.
I requested a salad, yes, a salad, mum had no trouble 'cooking' that for me.

Sunday
A slow start, a chance to catch up a bit afte the sleepover and what have you.
Dad came back mid morning, he was in one piece and had enjoyed his bike riding I think.
I had Williams party at lunchtime, a Go-Kart party as well, how cool.
I was a bit jealous it has ot be said but I tried my best not to show it.  We went for lunch with Ellis which meant McDonalds was a no brainer.  Due to a mix up at the counter, I ended up with a quarter pounder rather than my usual cheeseburger.  It was massive and try as I could, I didn't quite manage it all.
The party was brilliant, we drove, we played driving games likes cops and robbers but quite how William managed to win 'best steerer' award is a bit of a mystery to me, he hit the inflatable course boundary at least three times!
I went out and about with Hugo in the afternoon.
And I snuggled up with Mum and Dad to watch Beethoven 2 on telly, how perfect!
It was the day of the world cup final, and I really wanted to watch it.  But with an 8pm kick off and the possibility of extra time and maybe even penalties it was looking like a late one.  I hit the whingometer hard, saying all my friends were watching it.  It was eventually agreed that I could watch the full 90 minutes and then go to bed.  So I was desperate that one of the teams would score within that time, they didn't.  I had to go to bed with it still 0-0.  I was not happy.

Monday

I got up dead early to watch the conclusion of the match on I-Player so at least i'd look like i'd stayed up for it at school.  The German goal was very good.
