Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Tuesday

We had our last but one netball session this week, we were a little bit distracted towards the end, well, Tilly and I were anyway as Mr Gilham had just taken delivery of our brand new sports kit. Just in the nick of time for tomorrows rugby tournament:

It was all still in it's plastic bags with the labels attached, how exciting!

It's so cool Mum being around, she gets to perform taxi service here there and everywhere else we need to be like gymnastics.

Wednesday

Our big day out at Bisham Abbey didn't get off to the best of starts.  We were supposed to be going with Tilly and her mum but between their house and ours they had aquired a flat tyre.  So our car it was, albeit with Tilly's mum driving.  We got there in good time and got issued with our pink berkshire t-shirts which we were all very proud of.  We got the squad together for a team talk:

Before getting stuck into some of the other events on offer.  The big draw for me was the mountainbiking.  I might have narrowly missed out on winning our first race (due to an over enthusiastic warm up lap) but I made sure I had another go and put down an epic time for the win. 

The other highlight was the table tennis.  I abandonned Team John Rankin in favour of another all girls school and played with them instead:

They lapped it up.

After a lovely picnic lunch by the river (where a couple of rugby balls ended up in the water) it was time for the rugby:

As we had expected, it was pretty hard going.  We drew the first game, narrowly lost our second and then our third as well.  I did manage to be our top scorer with three tries, before I got substituted in the last game for getting a bit of a strop on.  I hate losing.  On the whole though it was a great day out and it was lovely to have Mum with me for the day and at least we didn't have to go up against some the frankly giant girls the Tilly's older sister did, I swear some of them were as big as Dad.

It was our last week at swimming, so we were looking forward to fun week.  We got races instead.  I suppose it was pretty fun.  In the evening it was the last indoor team kennet of the season.

I was too tired from my day at Bisham Abbey.

So I went on my own, I really rather enjoyed it.

Friday

I went home with Robert after school, for pizza and some gaming before the school disco.

I did a bit of shopping with Mum and Dad and got a couple of lovely fleece tops like Ned's he had for Rhos but in a much nicer purple shade. 

We managed to sneak the School disco in before Auntie Christines big birthday party.
Yeah, she was, now take a deep breath here.....60!
Yeah, I know, she doesn't look it and certainly doesn't act it!

Happy birthday Auntie Christine.
It was a bit of a late one up at Newbury Golf Club.  It had, without doubt the poshest toilets I have ever been in.  There were even hair tongs/straighteners in there.  I made full use of them.

Saturday

I had a mighty lay in and only finally surfaced because it was Sacha's birthday party at 11:30.  It was lovely, we decorated cup cakes with 'mushy pea icing' and got up to all sorts of arts and crafts stuff.
I spent most of the day down the park with my mates.
In the afternoon I fancied a snuggle up so we watched the Lego movie all together.

And then in the evening Auntie Trish came to babysit...so another nice late night was had!

Sunday

A trip to  the cinema to see Annie in the morning.
We were dead excited about seeing this one as we'd wanted to see it before christmas.
Then in the afternoon my third and final party, this time for my school friend Logan down at Northcroft.
We played the hotel game, Dad lost baaaadly.

Monday

We did gymnastics in PE at school, I loved that!
And we're doing dance for this term which is good, i've missed it since it moved to cross country night.
Speaking of which, it was my last ever cross country club tonight.  It's been four years of rain, wind, snow, ice and mud but i've never once not wanted to go out there and get stuck in.  Marc has done a great job and easily matched our enthusiasm over the years and made it a lot of fun too.  All thats left is tomorrows race!
