The Christmas events have started in school. We went up to the church for something called Christmas crack'd. It was cool, and I got to make Dad a mince pie. It survived the trip home in my pocket okay. We walked up and then back, with us members of the netball team in our kits. It was a bit on the chilly side. Once we were back at school we were straight on with our netball match. I'd been made captain so I did the meet and greet with the team from Basildon school, showed them the toilets and what have you.
I took to the adventure playground with Lola, she was great fun.
The match went well, really well. We won 5 - 0 and I had my best ever game according to our coaches. Even Ella's big brother was singing my praises.
I made chocolate truffles with Mum after tea, we made a hell of a mess:
They were for my school project, to research what we might make and sell at the Christmas bazaar. So as well as all the messy fun there was boring maths as well.
Wednesday
So being captain of the netball team wasn't all fun and games, I had to write the match report for the school newsletter. Fortunately Miss Knowles lent a hand.
While I was freezing half to death playing rugby after school....
.....I was wrapped up in my duvet, on the sofa playing Minecraft on the Ipad with none of Ned's nonsense. Brilliant.
We did hear that Ron, the old man who lived down the road that I befriended on our way to nursery a few years ago had passed away. What a shame, he was a cool chap.
Friday
We had a dress rehearsal for our christmas play, it went rather well. Just as well, we'll be doing ot for real next week.
After school we had a trip to Tesco with Dad. I loved looking at the computer games and Ipads.
And I loved the christmas decorations, and after what felt like years of asking, I was finally allowed to buy my very own length of tinsel. I was so thrilled with it.
And as Ellis had the princely sum of £1 spent on her for the tinsel, I too was allowed a quids worth of stuff. I headed straight for the sweet aisle and found a deal on the refreshers chewy bars...12 for the price of 10....£1! I was pretty chuffed with this deal.
He even let me have one of his 'free' bars, thanks Ned.
It was film night at school.
My first one!
And the first time I think that it was a film I hadn't pteviously seen, Elf!
Ned and Robert certainly loved it, I could them laughing there heads off at the other side of the hall.
Yeah, it was brilliant, we really enjoyed it.

Saturday
It was a lovely bright winters day so we took a bike ride into town.
Yeah, we had a few things we wanted to get, even if we didn't really need them.
Yeah like some more decorations from Wilko's, more tinsel for me!
We also had to get ourselves some christmas cards to give to our school friends, we quite enjoyed picking those, there were some really cute ones.
We also visited the new Schuh shop in town, it had such a lot of lovely, lovely shoes in it. None of which I was allowed.
We'd got a bit peckish and decided a visit to Greggs was in order. I love Greggs, especially the value for money.Yeah, we had a few things we wanted to get, even if we didn't really need them.

We sat on a bench in town to eat it and watched the world go by.
We rode home just in time to go to the infant school fete.
I know neither of us go to the infants anymore, but it's a real highlight of the year for me. The main reason being the sweets on the childrens tombola. Imagine my disappointment when I got there and the prizes on offer were less than desirable, in fact, most of them weren't even edible!
Add to that the hall being pretty quiet and all of our favourite games not being present, we were a little down about it all.
There was a decorate your biscuit stall though:

Then we found all the best stuff tucked away in the classrooms out the back, the games and what have you. Our favourite had to be a big grid you rolled coins onto. If they landed in the middle of a square (without touching the boundary lines) you won what the square said, this ranged from a free go to 5 times the coin that landed on it's value.
Yeah, we loved it.
I also had my face painted by Miss Stephenson to a very high standard.
It was dinner club at home on Saturday night, so Andy, Ben and Rach, and nick , Carol, Abi and Faye came round.
I had a great time with the girls, we dressed up, we did make up, it was brilliant.
Even I sort of enjoyed their company....
it was a pretty late night though....yawn!

Sunday
We had a day with Auntie Christine while Mum and Dad went 'shopping'
Yeah, Auntie Trish was on board too, brilliant!
We went to see Get Santa at the cinema, we loved it.
After that we had a trawl of town to find a suitable lunch, neither Costa's in town had a bacon roll on offer so we ended up in Greggs.
An alien environment to Auntie Christine but I think she was quite taken with it!
In the afternoon Owen appeared and the Laura and Darcey so it was getting on to be quite a gathering.
Mum and Dad arrived back just in tim for a roast dinner...they must have smelt it!

Monday
We performed our play in front of the resto f the school, i'm enjoying wearing my cat costume.
I have to say, the show was very good!
After school it was dark week for dance class.
Yeah, get the glowsticks out!
I was one of the 'evil' characters of the piece (chosen because of our abilities to perform the splits and a cartwheel).
Us year six boys got to lead things from up on the stage.

Then it was our catch up session for I'm a celebrity.
Yeah the final was on late Sunday night so we missed it.
We loved watching them do their final challenges and Foggy getting crowned king of the jungle.
