Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Wednesday

I went straight to Eloise's after school for tea......and got to fuss her doggie Pippy.  She so cute and lovely, the dog that is!  We went straight to Team Kennet together and actually managed to stay in the sane group for the evening.

Thursday

I know it seems a bit early as i've only just gone into year five, but we went to the Trinity School open evening.  It's only just over a year until I have to choose, and just like Ned did, we're going to get two years of visits in so we're as well informed as we can be.  I loved it at Trinity, big school looks so cool with all the proper science labs and what have you.  I got to get a little hands on but our tour was cut short by what can only be described as truly epic rain.  There was water coursing over the pathways outside, coming in through the doors and in one place even the cieling!  We decided not to follow our tour guides through a river and full on downpour but we had seen most of it.  We made our way home but even that wasn't straight forward as a number of the roads were flooded.

We got home and enjoyed the lightning display......

Friday

I've been having a bit of trouble with a baby tooth being forced out at an angle by my new one underneath.  After a night of derious discomfort Mum sorted me out a dentist appointment and by 10 o'clock I was sat in the chair.  I had the choice of putting up with it until it eventually fell out or having it removed there and then....it had to go.  Three injections later (one in the gum, ewwwww) and it was out.  I loved having a numb mouth, it felt so weird. Best of all my tooth got put in a proper dentist grade bag:

Kieran round for tea, the boys weren't quite as annoying as usual.....but then they barely look up from Pokemon Go anyway.

Saturday

A trip to the races with Nate, Alan, Hayley and Andy.  First big surprise of the day, Alan arrived at our house early, yes, you read right, early!
We got parked up in the middle of the track and made our way in, Nate took a while to warm up but was soon on top form.
Speaking of being on top form, we had some winners!

It was made even more exciting by one of my wins containing a brand new fancy five pound note.
Once racing was over the stage was ready for a bloke called Mark Ronson to play some records.  It was a bit old school for us kids really, but Uptown Funk was at least a bit more up to date: 

Us ladies (and Ned) got a nice VIP ride back to the car after the show:

Then we headed home to have an indoor picnic as not everyone fancied sitting outside at the races for it, turned out to be quite fun actually:

Sunday

A bit of a lazy Sunday morning turned into a bit of a mad panic after Ned and Kieran somehow managed to concoct the idea of us joining them down on Sandbanks beach.....
I'm so glad they pulled it off, even if the traffic on the way down was a bit sticky.
Lydia and I had a great time, when the boys weren't being super annoying anyway.
I even got her to some in the sea with me (note, no wetsuit):

The boys got commissioned for a publicity shot:

And then reverted to being annoying:

We ended up staying quite late after a unsuccessful attempt at fishing then calling in at KFC on the way home, much to Ned's disgust.....

Monday

I had a right old homework binge after tea, and decided to paint my fingernails in a defiant breach of the school rules.  My toes have been a very nice shade of metallic blue for over a week now and no one has pulled me up on it so thought I would up the ante a bit and go for orange fingernails....
