Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Wednesday

This weeks big academic news, I finally passed the last of my times tables when I passed my 12's.  All the practice with Mum has paid off, she was particularly pleased as she really thinks I finally understand the mechanics of numbers at long last rather than just reciting it parrot fashion.  I suppose we shall see soon enough as bow I have to move on to mixed tables, scattergunned around all of them.

Rugby was rained off half way through after school, we toughed it out for a long time in the rain before heading in to watch some Rugby on the internet on the big screen in the classroom until it was time to be collected.

Friday

Well it was one of lifes more difficult days on Friday as we said our goodbyes to Auntie Gail.  Some of my finest dress/bag combo's are down to her and her shopping skills.  Although we didn't see her all that often, everytime we did she was always loved to hear what we'd been up to and find out where she might have been lately (she had even more holidays than us I reckon).

Saturday

Mum was keen to get outside and do something, after a few false starts and minor sulks about various ideas we settled on a bike ride.  We did a route down to the canal and then around the back via some pretty muddy paths eventually ending up in Northcroft.
It was pretty interesting on the way, we loved exploring the old disused railway line route:

We went home and had a nice hot chocolate before heading out to Roller-skating for the first time in months.  It was a shame none of my friends were there....

Sunday

We had our first Sportshall athletics meeting today, we missed the one back in October as we were on holiday.
We had a good day and enjoyed ourselves, but it's fair to say our performances didn't exactly set the world on fire.
When we got home it was time for me to get packing:

I had the small matter of my first school residential trip, a couple of nights away at Ufton Court.  There was a flurry of activity to get my clothes sorted, named and packed....I was so excited!


Monday

The big day had finally arrived, Ufton Court trip!  We were taking Sasha and Lilly over with us in the car so we all congregated at home before we set off......i'll fill you in next time!
