Dreamland

2007-09-30T07:39:00.000+01:00

I'm in year 8! and im 12 -do you know im 12? i think i posted something sometime around my birthday, but ill check in min.
At my school there is a poetry competition, and our english teacher gave us all homework to write a poem for it.
here is mine:

Dreamland
As I hurried into bed,
I thought about the night ahead.
I pulled the duvet to my chin,
and out popped my thoughts from within. (im not sure about that line)
I shut my eyes,
and suprise, suprise ...
I stepped into the boat that took me to dreamland.
I sailed over stormy seas,
down a river tat ran throught dense trees.
My journey finally came to an end,
so i jumped off at the river bend.
A bashful Fairy took my hand,
and we flew together throught the land.
The flowers danced -just for me,
and i rode on the back of a honey bee.
The fairy nagged me it was time to rest,
but then i realised it was my mum teling me to get dressed.

hello!
In English we have been reading a book called 'the amazing maurice and his educated rodents'. It's about a talking cat and lots of talking rats. The cat is maurice and the rats got their names off old food cans and packets so they sound a tad odd. For homework we had to do a story about one of maurice's adventure's. I decided to do a story of how maurice met the rats. here it is:

Maurice's adventure

Maurice hid behind the bin while he watched the small rat scuttle across the paving stones, clutching a piece of greenish cheese. As the rat began to turn round, Maurice leapt, and trapped the squirming animal in his sharp claws.
“STOP PLEASE!” screamed a voice. Maurice looked round. No one was there. He raised his longest, sharpest claw ready to kill the creature he held, but then... “OH PLEASE STOP, please!” Maurice jumped. The rat had spoken! He peered closely at the rat, who whispered; “Can you understand me?”
“Yes” replied Maurice, shuddering, “ I can”. There was an awkward silence while Maurice slowly raised his paws and let the rat stand up. “I haven't met any other animal who can talk like me yet.” Said Maurice, trying to put aside the fact his stomach was growling, and that he was speaking to a very tasty-looking dish. “N-n-nor h-have I-I-I e-except th-the other r-rats.” There was another long silence, which was broken suddenly by a tough looking rat running round the corner shouting “Nourishing where are you? Nourishing we need to ma-. Nourishing is that you?”
“Yep I'm Nourishing sir.” replied Nourishing “There is a reason that I'm talking to a...”
“Nourishing run! That cat could kill you in five seconds RUN!” The rat turned and began to run back round the corner. It was then that Maurice noticed that the tough-looking rat had lot's of -belts strapped around him with different things hanging off them. Maurice blinked. Rats with belts? Whatever next... he thought. “Darktan? What's the hurry? Nourishing? What are you doing? RUN Nourishing!” yet another rat had tap danced round the corner, shouted a bit and tap danced back again. “Was that rat tap dancing?” cried Maurice. “I must be going insane” he muttered.
“Pardon?” asked Nourishing
“I er must be going bye!” stammered Maurice, and he jumped onto the bin, then a crumbling window ledge, then disappeared out of sight.

“You must have imagined it, cats can't talk!” cried Darktan, as he attempted to knock into Nourishing's head that she mustn't go near cats – even one's that can talk.
“When we were keekees we never dreamed of going near a cat! We never even had dreams!” complained Hamnpork.
“He did talk though I'm sure he did. I wonder what he's doing now...”
As if in answer, Maurice picked his way over the rubbish tip, that the rats lived on. Maurice was a ferrel cat, with greasy fur and a matted tail, that's always up. His needle tipped claws clicked on the floor when he walked, and his green eyes were always on the look out for danger. Although there's nothing much left of his tatty ears from previous encounters with dogs, they'd prick up at the sound of a pin dropping.
Hamnpork didn't really like the concept of thinking, but his brain worked fast when he needed it to. He leant discreetly over to Darktan and hissed; “I'll keep the beast talking and you run with Nourishing!” and he sidled confidently over to Maurice, and declared “This is our home and you are trespass-s-i-ing s-ss-o err-...” he trailed off as Maurice towered over him, and purposefully looked down on him.
“You were saying?” grinned Maurice.
“He was saying you are trespassing on our home, -even if it's a rubbish tip-.”
Maurice looked round. There, balancing on an empty tin, was a small white rat with pink eyes and a wobbly nose. It looked more like a large mouse than a rat.
“Was that you?” asked Maurice, slowly.
“Yes that was me.” replied the small rat. “I'm Dangerous beans and I think,” he turned to Hamnpork: “If you don't mind sir, that we should try and keep together, all us ... hmm what's the word? Ah! Educated rats. Oh and cats.” He turned back to Maurice. “You see we used to be normal rats but then one day we were just milling around after a nice drink of a sort of gooey liquid. Then we all started talking and thinking! It was very strange. But I think we should stick together in case one of us goes and does something silly. Like talk to humans.”
Maurice looked at the rats. “I guess I'll have to ask any rat I catch if it can talk before I eat it then.” He smiled. “Have you ever had dreams about having lots of money, or a place you can stay warm and dry? Well I have a great money making plan that all of us will benefit from!” He looked slowly round at the nodding rats.
“Perfect” he whispered.

If you didn't understand some of the words then ask me in a post. The rats make up some of their own words sometimes so I added a few from the book.

Hope you liked it!

Christmas Holidays- what I did

2007-01-13T08:52:00.000Z

Hi

I had a Fantabiedosy Christmas 'holls'. On the First Saturday, we went for a walk to Salhouse Broad with my Auntie Julie and My Cousins Devon, Tavis and Izzin`e. (And of course my dad and sister, Milly. -Mum stayed at home and tidied) It was great fun. We found some little Island things where the trees had broken off from the shore and floated away slightly. There were three so me Devon and Tavis could have one each.
The next thing I can remember doing was...................

SHOPPING!!!

I went with one of my best friends from my new school, called Kate. She left a comment on my blog telling me to post about it and kept nagging me at school! We had great fun. We were only allowed round the new mall -Chapelfield- and bought lots of different sort of things. I've kind of forgotten what I bought now though! After shopping her mum met us outside Borders, and took us back to Kate's for a sleepover. I remember that we bought a face-pack each so we put them on after a delicious dinner of pizza and chips.
(Happy now Kate? I've done a post about it!!!)

I think now I'll miss out a few days and go right up to Christmas eve, (on Christmas eve its my Auntie's birthday, so happy birthday for then Julie!!!) In the evening we had my uncle Steve round, and his Girlfriend Esther. Along with Uncle Paul (unfortunately Sarah was unwell and couldn't come), Chris, Heidi and a special guest... Baby Isaac! W e had a delicious meal (Risotto) followed by two attempts from mum at melting chocolate for our new chocolate fountain. Unfortunately both attempts failed. It was a great evening, packed with fun games and quizzes run by 'King Daddy the Great'.

You'll have to wait until next time for the rest!!!

SORRY!!!

2007-01-04T18:44:00.000Z

Hi

I'm sorry I haven't been posting for absolutely ages, but I just haven't had a day free yet. I promise I will do a long post all about Christmas, but for the moment I have to just tell you about today. It was my first day back at school. (Another word for school is......

THE MOST BORING THING IN THE WORLD!!!)

Today wasn't too bad because we didn't get any homework (another word for homework is ABSOLUTE TORTURE!) I just thought you'd like to know that I was back at school, and as I said I promise I'll tell you all about my Christmas soon.

Thursford

2006-12-22T19:39:00.000Z

Hi Guyz!

Can I just say that no-one has been commenting for ages. I have looked at everyone's blog, but not left a comment. SORRY! Before I get to the main story of this post....

LEONA WON THE X-FACTOR HOOOOOORRRRRAAAAYYY!!!!!!

I wanted Leona to win right from the start! Everyone should always follow my decision!

Anyway,
I have just got back from 'Thursford' -I went last year and did two posts about it!- it was sooo wonderfuly brilliant in the 1st half, but in the second I fell asleep! I'm serious! Ask mum if you don't belive me! (She said I sprawled about all over her!) All the second half was, was all these people singing carols in 'lardy-da' voices -not even good carols at that! Despite the second half, overall it was a great afternoon!

bye,
Gabbie
p.s. 3 days to go; merry christmas!!!

School is over!

2006-12-15T19:30:00.001Z

my weekend

2006-12-10T18:06:00.000Z

hi everyone!

This is (as you may have guessed by the title), what I got up to this weekend.

Friday:
After school I went to somethig called 'express'. It was very good. Not that good but good. Me and my friends were gasping for a drink, but there weren't any, and we are going to sugest a break in the middle, where you can have a drink and a biscuit.

Saturday:
I had a lazy morning, before getting ready for Drama. I haven't been for the last two weeks so how was I supposed to know it had finished for christmas?!?! Anyway, we got there and a lady inside gave us the dates for when it would be opening. We decided to go shopping instead. Then at 4:00 we headed for WHSmiths where I was going to meet Natalie. She took me and Milly to the cinema to see 'Happy Feet' which I give a 7 or 8 out of 10. But poor Natalie didn't get to watch all of it, because Milly got a bit restless about 2/3rds of the way through. She then had to take Milly out, and ring mum and dad who were in the city, while I stayed and watched the film.
Ben went out on the X-Factor which I didn't mind, because I want Leona to win.

Sunday:
We went to church and then I went to my friend Jasmin's house. We had a great time and I came back and did my blog!

Bye for now,
Gabzter! xxx

Grease

2006-12-03T17:07:00.000Z

Hi!

On Thursday, I went to the theatre to see 'Grease', with one of my best friends, Hannah. It was great! They changed a lot of the scenes around though, and Sandy wasn't really like the Sandy in the film. First we went to Pedros for dinner, but we had to rush it slightly because we didn't want to be late for Grease, and it had taken ages to get into the city.
Overall it was a FANTASTIC evening, and I enjoyed every moment.

Bye xxx

Sorted

2006-11-28T18:06:00.000Z

Hi everyone!

I decided to go on the 'father christmas' train, because I couldn't go to drama last Saturday, and it is Milly's (my sister) first time, and apparantly Devon and Tavis missed me last year. I will blog soon about CUTs reunion, I didn't like it though.....................................

I LOVED IT!!!

Terrible!

2006-11-20T18:59:00.000Z

Hello,

I have a problem, and I need your advice! I am doing my Drama performance (as mentioned in my last post), on the same day that I am going on the 'Father Christmas Train' with Nanny, Grandad, Devon, Tavis, Izzin`e and Milly!

I need you to tell me what you would do, so that I can decide!

Bye, Gabz xxx

My Weekend

2006-11-19T18:16:00.000Z

Hello!

Here's what I did over the weekend:

On Saturday, I had a fried breakfast especially cooked by the dadzter, and then went to Drama. At Drama, we are doing these little performance thingy's to show our parents what we've been doing this term. My group is doing the chav version of 'Little Red Riding Hood'. We've turned it into, 'Litte Red Rascal'. I am the grandma, so I don't have to be very 'chavish'. Anyway, after Drama, I came home, and I had a friend come round for the afternoon. (Emily C, as mentioned in my post entitled 'Thorpe House'). We watched the X-Factor together, though she's only seen it a couple of times. Who do you want to win at the moment? I still want Eton Rd or Leona, though I sort of like Ray aswell.

On Sunday (today), I went to church as normal, and today I helped in the crech. Then, Tavis and Izzin`e came round while Devon was at his 'capararah' dancing thingy. -I don't think I spelt it write!- Then, Tavis had to go to a party, but I zzin`e stayed at our house to play with Milly. When Steve picked I zzin`e up, he bought Sims 2 with him, which is Devon and Tavis's, to see if it would load onto our computer, so that mum and dad know wether or not to ask 'Father Christmas' for it. And it worked!!! I desparatley want Sims 2, and if your stuck with waht to get me for Christmas, then it could be an expasion pack for Sims 2!

Anyway, only one person commented on who they wanted to win on the X-Factor, so can more people tell me this time!

From Gabz xxx

P.S. Pablo, are you going to CUTs reunion? I HOPE SO!!! Oh, and Uncle Paul and Pablo, I am now back on msn with the same adress as before. Look out to see when I'm online!

Stardoll

2006-11-11T08:29:00.000Z

Hi!

Just to say, that I've been having fun on a website called stardoll. It's where you get to dress up famous people in different clothes. It's really fun!

My Half-Term!

2006-11-04T10:30:00.000Z

Hello everyone!

I am now going to tell you about my half-term. (What I did).

Thursday:
I went to a Birthday Party. Guess what the party was...SHOPPING!!! We each got given 10pounds by Vicktoria's mum (Victoria was the person who was actually having a Birthday), and then we went around Chaplefield Mall, going in all the different shops. Finally, when we had shopped til' we'd dropped, we went for lunch at Garfunkles!
After Vicky's party, mum, me, Devon, Tavis, Julie, Steve, Milly and Izzin`e went to Centre Parcs, to go swimming!!!

When shopping, I brought; Gloves from H&M
Penguin stickers from Accessorize
2 pairs of magnetic earings from Claire's
A diary from Clinton's card shop
Some frendship bracelets from Claire's

Friday:
I went to another Birthday Party! This one was bowling. Emily Capes was the person having a Birthday this time, and she came to Vicky's. After 2 games of bowling, we went to Mcdonalds for dinner!

Saturday:

Me and dad cycled into the city as we normally do on a Saturday, because my drama is in the city. However we got to drama and it wasn't on!!! So we met mum and Milly like we were going to after drama, and went shopping.

Sunday:

On Sunday we went to Church (St Lukes), as normal, and afterwards we went to Ellie, Toby, Carrie and Dave's house for lunch. (They are friends of our family).

Monday:

I went to Elizabeth's house for a sleepover. We are sort-of best friends, so I gave her a best friends bracelet that I bought at the shopping party.

Tuesday:

I left Elizabeth's house, to go swimming with Julie, Devon, Tavis, Izzin`e, Mum, Milly and ofcourse, ME!!! After swimming, we had lunch at the same hotel that we went swimming in, and then we went to Ellie and Toby's house again, with Julie, Devon, Tavis, Izzin`e, Mum, Milly and me. Then we went to drop me off at my friend Hannah's house, because I then slept round!

Wednesday:

Me and Hannah begged and begged until our mum's let Hannah come round mine!

Thursday:

I went to get my hair cut, and then we dropped Hannah home. After that we went into the city, to get me a new outfit for Papa's party.

Friday:

We had a lazy morning, before going on a walk.

Saturday:

Papa's party. It was great! We had a delicious meal, followed by all different sorts of deserts.

Sunday:

I went to church as normal, and then Anna (who had come down from London for Papa's party), had dinner with us.

Well, that's all.

BYE! Gabbie xxx

P.S. Who's been watching the X-factor? I have, and if you have then tell me through a comment who you want to win. (I'm torn between Leona and Eaton Road!)

Sponsor Me!

2006-10-30T19:16:00.000Z

Hello!

Sorry I haven't blogged for ages.

I've had a great half-term, and the first day back at school was ok. I have done an entry asking for you to sponsor me before, but this time I'm at a different school, so it's raising money for something else. This time it's for something called 'Lepra'. 'Lepra' is an organisation that tries to cure people of leprosy, which is a very, very bad illness, that people get in other countries. It is mostly poor people that get it, and they catch it by breathing in the germs in the air.

We are going to do a 'FUN WORKOUT' to raise money for 'Lepra' so that they can help cure people of Leprosy. It costs around 21 pounds to cure one person of Leprosy, and only takes 6 months, sometimes a year. All I need to know is your first name, and how much you are going to sponsor me.
BUT YOU HAVE TO BE QUICK!!! I have to know by this Friday. Don't worry if you don't get the money to me for ages, because we will pay for you, so long as you pay us back.

You were all really generous last time, so please, please, please sponsor me!!!!!!

HALF TERM!!!

2006-10-18T20:27:00.000+01:00

Hello!

At last it's half term! (As you may have guessed by the title) At school I have had way too much homework -well that's my opinion-, but finally I get a break! Well, I still get homework to do over the half term, but I'll worry about that later.

Sorry I haven't out any photo's on, but I'll promise I will soon. I've got a busy half term, but atleast it's a break from school-life!

Church weekend

2006-10-08T16:43:00.000+01:00

Hello!

Today (Sunday, 8th) I went to church as normal, but today was different. On Friday, we went to church at 7:00, for the church weekend. At first dad (who was running the whole thing!!), told everyone what the whole weekend was about, and the people who would be running activities the next day told us what their activities would be about. Then, because the theme was creativity, we made people out of clay. (Pictures soon!) Then at 9:00 we went home.

The next day we arrived at church at 10:30 and had croissants with chocolate spread.(YUM!!)
After that, we all went off to do our different activities. I did art and craft. Now here is the best bit. In art and craft there was just me and Milly (my sister) and we got to open all the new things and try them out. But the best thing was the 'model magic'. I bet you haven't heard of that! (exceptions to dad as he was running art and craft). Here is a picture of 'model magic':

You can make anything ot of model magic. It's better than playdo better than clay, better than anything you can name. First you mould it into something, and let it dry. When it has dried, you can colour it with felt pen! It's so cool!
After art and craft, I did the kidz bit which was just the same as the art and craft. More children were in that activity, and everyone of them spent ages and ages with model magic. After the kidz bit, I did percussion. We had to choose an instrument, and Simon (the leader of the percussion activity) told us when to play our instrument and how to.

After that was delicious soup, and home.

Then we went back to church, and had a delicious 3 course meal. Mmmmm! After the meal all of the children went into the quiet room, and watched 'the aristrocats'.

I only popped in and out though, listening to the adults conversations.

Then this morning was the big day. I peformed my percussion, and a display was made, showing all the things in the art and craft activity. Then everyone else showed what they'd done in their activities. Overall the weekend was a great success.

WELL DONE DAD!

THREE CHEERS FOR DAD:...

Thorpe House

2006-09-30T09:57:00.000+01:00

Hi!

Not many people are looking at my blog yet, so those who are, can you please do a post saying that I'm back?
Anyway, here's all about my new school:

Alot of the teachers are strict, but there are a couple of nice ones, like Mrs Trimmball, Mrs Thomson and Miss Cole can be quite nice. But none of them are any where near as nice as Mr Keer from my old school. I've made quite a few friends now, and I'm now going to tell you about all of them. Imogen is crazy, funny and definatley livley. Kate is funny , but not as crazy and livley as Imogen. Lizzy is quite funny, and always has good ideas. Then there's Emily Capes. She wasn't there for the first week because she was still on holiday, but we played with each other the very day she got back. Then there's Bethany. She helped me to settle in to the school, and is always checking if I'm alright.

The only thing I absolutley loath about the school is partly the teachers, but mostly the amount of homework. I get so much, that I wish I had a little robot that did it all for me!(Anyone who would like to take up the job of being this little robot is welcome to!) In the last lesson of the day, I look at the clock and think gladly; "phew. Almost hometime". But it's not. It's just like going back to school again when you have to do all that homework!

I'll fill you up on all the latest news soon. Bye! xxx

I'M BACK!!!

2006-09-19T19:55:00.000+01:00

-The title kind of sounds like an advertisement for a film, like 'Jack Black Is Back' or something!-

Hello!

As the title clearly states; I'M BACK!!! It has been 4 months since I last blogged, and tons of things have happened! I think the most important one, is that i've started a NEW SCHOOL!! It's called Thorpe House, and this is how it all happened:...

Dad used to visit this school alot when he still worked at the MathewProject, to teach them about drugs and stuff. -I think-. So mum and dad have always had this school at the back of their minds, and finally, they've managed to pull it out of the back of their minds, to the very front. It meant leaving my old school a year early, (Here comes the tricky bit), beacause at my old school's system, the first schools had years reception to year 3. The middle schools years 4-7, and the high schools years 8-11. But. At Thorpe House and lot's of other school's, they have years reception to 2 in first school, 3-6 in middle school's, and 7-11 in High School's. So, as you can see, it's all rather complicated, and I won't bore you any more, by going into any more detail.

I'll give you a time-table of my holiday soon, but I'm afraid that now I have to go.
Bye! xxx

English Homework

2006-09-19T19:49:00.000+01:00

This is my myth-story-thing that I had to do for Homework:

How the penguin got it's waddle.

Once there was a little penguin called Pengala. He was walking wearily back to his warm igloo, after a long, tiring swim with his friends. Finally he arrived home. He took a quick glance at the sky, to try and determine the weather for the night, and it looked like it was going to snow. Pengala walked slowly indoors, and went to sleep straight away.

In the morning, he awoke, cold, hungry, and slightly damp from the wet ground. He stretched, and slowly got up, his stomach rumbling urgently. Pengala pushed his way through the snowy entrance, to his cosy igloo, and laid a flipper gently on the snow. He squealed and jumped back! The snow was freezing cold, much, much, much colder than usual. His stomach growled hungrily. Pengala was desperatley hungry, but he couldn't posibly walk on that freezing snow...rumble rumble rumble. His stomach growled. He sighed, and gingerly put his cold flipper onto the snow.

He squeezed his eyes shut in pain, as he put his other flipper next to the other. Pengala hopped from one foot to the other, as he made his way quickly across the chilly snow. He looked a bit like he was...waddling. Finally he reached the sea, and he dived in thankfully. But, as you might have guessed, the snow was even colder than the snow, but he was starving now, and had to eat something. Soon, Pengala burst out of the water, and (with a wrigling fish in his beak), he swam eagerly back to the shore. The snow felt warmer, as the sun had come out, and he sat, happily devouring the fish. Eventually, he sat back, his stomach satisfied.

He got up to start the journey back home, and because the snow was back to it's normal temperature, he didn't need to waddle. Pengala took his first few steps, savouring the warm snow while it lasted, but...he couldn't walk normally again! He desperately tried to walk, but he couldn't. He would have to waddle all his life. Pengala carried on waddling back home, and when he was about half way back, he saw his friends running over to him. He glared enviously, at their ability to walk normaly, but said nothing of it. They laughed, and teased him about his waddle. They thought Pengala was joking.

After a while, they started to copy him. They waddled about just like him, laughing, and joking as they went. Suddenly, it began to snow. It poured down, bringing back the cold from earlier that morning. The other penguins found they couldn't walk normally any more! As they all waddled home, it was Pengala's turn to tease them. They looked shocked and annoyed, but soon got used to it like Pengala had.

Ever since that obscure day, penguins have waddled without a care in the world!

P.C.P.

P.C.P stands for pc problems!

Our laptop has broken, so I haven't been able to blog for ages! It's still not fixed, but just before the old one broke, dad brought a new laptop, that I'm not allowed to touch. He said I could this evening though, because I haven't done my blog for ages.

The old pc should be fixed soon, and when it is, I'll tell you everything that's happened to me recently.

Literacy Homework -poems-

2006-06-05T20:06:00.000+01:00

Hiya!

Here's my Literacy Homework for this week, on 'poems'. We had to write our own poem on when we found love hardest. Here's mine!:

Love is...

Love is letting my little sister
Borrow my things,
Or letting my best friend
Wear my favourite ring.

It’s helping my dad
To cook the tea,
Or tidying my room
So that mum’s pleased with me.

It’s taking my dog
For a nice long walk,
Or listening in class
And trying not to talk.

Love is helping my neighbour
To pull out the weeds,
And considering
Everyone else’s needs!

If you can think of one, then write your own small verse in a comment, and tell me what you thought of mine!

Last week at school, we were doing our SAT's. SAT's are really big tests, that are sort of like the 11plus. I didn't find it too bad, and I think I did really well in maths -which is actually my worst subject!!- We had test's all week and instead of 15min breaks in the morning, we got up to 40mins!!!!

On Friday it was Milly's Birthday! Some of the family came round, and then today she had some baby friends round, with a bouncy castle!

First, Milly opened some prezzie's, and then the bouncy castle came, some and Milly watched it get set up -in the rain!

Esther's for lunch!

2006-05-01T07:32:00.000+01:00

Hello!

Yesterday, I went to Esther's house for lunch, because it was her Mum and Dad's 25th Wedding Anniversary. There was a bouncy castle in her back garden that they'd hired, and it got so crowded that we had to split all the children into two groups so that it didn't get too squashed!

Esther had some Geo-mag which we built a huge bridge out of, but someone cleared it away.

-Ours wasn't quite as big and brilliant as the one on the photo!!!-

Overall it was a great day, (especially the bouncy castle!)

Hilton Holiday

2006-04-08T08:39:00.000+01:00

Hello!

The reason I haven't been blogging for ages, but that's because I've been on alot of holiday's. I'll start from the one that was from the 25th of March, to the 27th.

We got up at 8:00 to catch a 9:05 train. We all got ready, and went to the train station, where we saw Paul and Sarah. We got onto the train, and managed to get two tables next to each other. It was a long journey: 1 hour and a half! Even then we hadn't got to the hotel; we had to catch a '9 minutes' train to a plane, train and bus-stop place where we had a 10 minute walk (Indoors) to the hotel.

When we arrived, we were all on our way up to our rooms, and on our way, we passed a lady who asked "Are you the people who want your pillows changed to non-feather ones?" (Me, dad and my little sister all have asthma). Mum said that we would like them changed, but we hadn't asked for them to be. The lady showed us our room (me mum, dad and Milly's room), which was meant to be a family room, but was way to small! So, she showed round lots of different rooms, and we eventually chose one. The lady went down to reception, to ask if the room was free. It wasn't, so in the end, me and Milly had our own room, whilst mum and dad had the one next door!

The swimming pool was great! After an hours swim, we went down to the restauraunt and had dinner. It was delicios! I can't remember what I had now, but I think it was a carvery (pics soon).

The next day we had a huge breakfast (pics soon), and went out shopping. Then we got back and went for a short swim before going down to dinner. The next day was home time, so we had breakfast, had a swim, and got onto the train for the journey home.

I'll blog about the next holiday soon, but if you don't hear from me, then it's because I'm on another holiday!!!

Literacy Homework again!

2006-03-22T19:26:00.000Z

Hello!

I've got some more homework! Our task was to introduce a character walking into a room. Here's what I did:

Everyone stared at the posh-looking boy, as he strode confidently into our classroom. He looked around and sniffed as if the room was full of worms, rather than children. He gasped as a strand of his sleek, black hair fell out of place. Immediately, he took a pot of hair-gel out of his pocket, and fixed the strand of hair back into the clump of shiny hair on top of his head. “Herbert!” Snapped Miss Litress, “You can sit on the front row in that spare seat there.” As she said this, Miss Litress pointed a finger, coated in lilac nail-varnish, to the chair next to me! Herbert wrinkled his nose in disgust, but marched over anyway in his shiny, polished shoes. He brushed down his smart suit before perching importantly on the chair and sniffing again.

When the teacher started taking the register, Herbert stuck his hand gracefully in the air and said; “Miss Litress, don’t you think we should be listening out for our name to be called, rather than whispering.” He glanced over at two boys who had been chatting to each other and smirked before frowning, knowingly at the teacher who then told the two boys off. “Thank you Herbert.” She smiled and carried on with the register. When the lesson started he put his hand in the air again. “Yes Herbert” sighed Miss Litress.
“I don’t seem to have a book.” Snorted Herbert, “As I’m new, I don’t seem to have one” he sniffed. Miss Litress yanked open her draw and pulled a new writing book. She handed it to Herbert and had barely got back into the lesson before Herbert stated that there was a mark on the cover of his book. “Herbert!” Shouted the normally calm, kind teacher, “You have disrupted this lesson enough times, now please go outside and wait for me to come and speak to you!” Herbert was shocked as he stumbled shakily out of the classroom. The teacher slammed the door behind him before carrying on with the lesson.

“Phew!” I said and carried on writing. We never saw Herbert again. (But that was considered a good thing!)

That's all for now then, I hope you enjoyeed my story!

7 Brides for 7 Brothers

2006-03-14T20:00:00.000Z

On Saturday, I went to my best friend's (Elizabeth), birthday party. It was at the Theatre Royal, and I was the only one she invited, because she was only aloud to have one friend with her to the theatre. It was to see 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. Soon we were seated, and we had pretty good seats at that!
There was the silouet of a lady's head in the centre of the stage, just near the bottom. It was quite disturbing, but could have been worse if I hadn't of had the stroke of luck I did, about 10mins before it started...

I always test the binoculars when I sit down, just in case someone put 50p in and didn't use them, or simply didn't put them back properly. Ages ago, I was at the Christmas panto, and I tested the binoculars (told you I always test them!), and they came out!!! This time, the same thing happened! I don't know if it was because I pulled them to the left, then the right and then they came out, but it was still lucky!

Anyway, the show was brilliant. It was... colourful I guess, because of all the wonderful costumes, but it was also full packed with actoin, dancing, songs and loads more! My favorite song was 'Going Courting' which was a song where Millie was teaching the 7 brothers to be polite. My favorite part, was when the boys kidnapped the girls, and one boy pretended to be the girls cat so that she would come out of the house. Unfortunatley, the dad came outside and imitated the boy. Just as he said 'Mi-' the boy plonked him on the head and so he finished it with 'Oww!'

Overall, it was a brilliant performence, and I give it 5 stars out of 5! (*****)

Homework again!

2006-03-13T17:22:00.000Z

It's been a long time since I last did an entry showing what my Literacy homework was, but now I've got another peice!

We had to write an opening for story, describing the setting, based on 'Thespina and the Scorpidon' which is a mythical, greek story. Here's what the author did for her opening paragraph:

Once, when the world was young, there was a beautifulisland in Greece. The sun blazed down on the feilds, which were smothered in wild flowers every spring, while far out to sea, tiny fishing boats bobbed on the shimmering, sparkling waves. It should have been a happy place, but a great danger lay over the people like a thick, grey cloud.

Here's my opening paragraph:

Once, when the world was just created, an enchanting island sat in the centre of the Antarctic Ocean. Icy waves licked the edges of the crisp snow, whilst trees fluttered amongst the flakes of glistening snow-flakes. The sun hardly ever shone on the paper-white snow, which meant that it never really melted. Everything was smothered in layers over layers of snow. The island was a breathtaking sight, and anyone would think it would be the perfect place to live if you were wrapped up warm! However, a deadly danger hid under the thick snow, like a huge, dark shadow.

What do you think?

Please tell me through a comment if you have any suggestions of how I could improve my story's!

Bye then, Gabbie xxx

My Uncle Steven and his girlfriend Esther were helping, so Esther told me to come just outside the room that the band were getting ready in, so that I could see them come on stage!! When they came out of the room, the main singer (Martin), came over and shook hands with me! The performence was great!!!

Hello everyone!

Today, the word for 'Photo Friday' was 'Red'. And guess what! Today I went for a blood-test and what colour is blood?-Red! So, I took my camera along with me, and Mum took a photo for me! It seemed ages untill the needle went in, but when it did I was squeezing Mum's hand and I said "Has it gone in yet?" , and it had! I just hadn't felt it! Anyway, here's the photo that Mum took:

It's good isn't it? I think that the nurse had a good Idea when she said that we should take a photo of her hand holding the capsual thingy!

Well, that's all for today, I'll see you soon!

Ellie and Toby come for lunch!

2006-03-05T19:55:00.000Z

On Sunday, Ellie Toby, Carrie and Dave came round to our house, while my cousin Tavis was here. Ellie and Toby are twins but look nothing like each-other. They're both 6 (and so is Tavis), and today they came for dinner.

That's a photo of Tavi-boy, but I couldn't find one of Ellie and Toby!

Anyway, Mum did a delicious dinner. It was huge! I mean- Jacket patatoes were just side portions!!!

For desert, the adults had these weird pie thingys (that's what Mum, said when she told everyone what it was, but Carrie and Dave insisted on knowing the name for a joke!!) Guess what the children got though!... a small cup of melted chocolate with strawberries, maltesers, grapes, pear and apple to dip in! I kept accidently on purposely dropping the grapes in the chocolate so that my fingers got smothered in chocolate!

After dinner, me Ellie and Milly played with all my beanie-babies, making them go on adventures all round the house, but then Millie got bored and went to play with Tavis and Toby. At one point of the day we were all up in my bedroom, and we decided to all play spies, and spy on the adults! We all got 'gadgets' and disguised them as every day objects! The adults never found out! (I don't think so anyway!) Over all we had a brilliant time!!!

I'm afraid I didn't take any photo's, so that's all for now!...

Photo Friday!

2006-03-03T18:04:00.000Z

Heloo!

Today was my first 'Photo Friday' day and the word was 'Feminine'. Dad, did Mum's vanity tabley thingy, but I decided that pink was very Feminine. I was going to put up this photo:

But then, pink is more 'girly, girly' than Feminine. After a bit of thought (and about 99.5% of help from dad!), I decided that pink makes me think of girls and I didn't wan't to completley abandon the idea of pink. Therefore, I thought that my fluffy pink slppers would be just the thing!:

I'm wearing them just as I post this entry!

Bye then,

P.S. Good luck to anyone else who does 'Photo Friday!'

Hello!

Last Saturday, I went to a club called 'Kingzone'. It's on once a month, and we have a great time! I did 'Art and Craft' which was one of the many activities you could choose from. In the 'Art and Craft' we could either do 'Scooby-Doo's' or 'Hammer Beads'. I chose to do Hammer Beads because I've got lot's of Scooby's at home.

At the end, we alway's have a celebration, where we all sing songs and dance. After that we either look at a presentation on the O.H.P. or get a story read to us.
It's all run by Sue and Andrew Southgate (Ben's blog)

To round of my blog, all I can say is; It's a great club that everyone enjoy's!

Whispering to Witches

2006-02-26T14:02:00.000Z

Hello!

Last night I finished one of my most favourite books ever!
It was called 'Whispering to Witches by, Anna Dale', and it was fantabiedosy! Whispering to Witches is brilliant for anyone who loves magical stories:

When Joe is sent to stay with his mother and stepfather over Christmas, he thinks he'll be bored to death.(Especially with his anoying little stepsister Esme bothering him). Little does he know that this Christmas will be one that he'll never forget. When he travels by train, he sits with a glamarous lady fit to be a fashion model carrying a cat-basket, a man in a pinstripe-suit who's bonkers, and an old lady dressed in pink from head to toe! Strange things happen on the train, one thing was everything went nearly pitch black, he thought he saw a snake in the old-ladies hand-bag, and the glamarous lady's cat-basket has rats inside!

He gets off at the wrong stop, and has to tri-cycle from Stubble-End to Canterbury, but the tricycle goes out of control and he stumbles across a coven of witches! He meats a child, girl witch named Twiggy, and soon they dicover an evil plot! It's about an ancient magic book and its page that has such an evil spell on it that it had to be ripped out! It's up to Joe and Twiggy to stop it... Will she and Joe be able to stop the horrid, glamarous lady from ruling over all the witches?....

Read the book to find out more!!!

I decided that as I went to Disney in January and It's now nearly March, I should put my pictures up from Disney Land:

This is a picture of all the children who went:

And these are the people who I went around with in the day time:

This is a panda that waved repeatedly, from in 'It's a small world' ride:

These figures were also from 'It's a small world':

And so were these:

This was a little train that was in the parade:

These were some figures doing the 'Can, Can', who were also in 'Small World':

This is 'Beauty' who was in the parade from 'Beauty and the beast':

This is a photo of some dancers who were in the parade:

And lastley, this is another figure from 'Small World':

So, I think that's all of my photo's from Disney, I'll tell you about my holiday next entry!...

P.S. The girl in the long, purple scarf is Elizabeth, my best friend!

Happy Valentines

2006-02-14T19:38:00.000Z

Hello!

As it's Valentines day, I thought I'd better do a blog entry to celebrate!!!

I'm afraid that thats all for today, as I've got to go and pack for a holiday in a hotel where there's NO COMPUTERS so you won't be hearing from me for a while.

Bye until Monday,

Pancakes for Breakfast!

2006-02-13T15:13:00.000Z

This morning, as it's the first day of the half-term, Dad decided to cook pancakes for breakfast which are my favorite food!

Milly helped Dad make them:

And I helped her make a doggy pancake out of bannanas and whipp cream!:

She gobbled them up like a hoover!:

Then I made Splodgy the pancake!:

It was Milly's first Pancake so hip hip hooray!

I know it isn't Pancake day yet, but if I had my way, it would be Pancake day every day!

Bye! xxx

Disney Land!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-02-11T19:33:00.000Z

Hello!

I'm going to go straight on to writing the 2nd half of the Disney trip, with no hesitations!
Here it is:

Me, Elizabeth (a girl who is my best friend who I shared a cabin with), and Mum all went outside and down to the breakfast thingy. As it was Disney Land Paris, we had croissants with chocolate spread, jam, marmite and...butter.

After that we were all full up and ready for a ,freezing, day out at Disney. I put on a vest, T-shirt, long sleeved top, jumper, fleece and a coat, but I was still frozzled to a frizzling freezle! first we went on a ride called 'Pirates of the Carabien'
That was brilliant!

Then we went on 'It's a small world' which was good and I got some brilliant photo's that you'll see on the next entry!

Then we went to a 3.D. cinema where 'Honey I shrunk the audience' which was amazing!

After that just me and mum went on a spooky ride in a haunted house which was my favorite ride and I thought it was Fantabiedosy!!!

So that was all of the rides I went on, and I will leave you in suspense once again!............

I forgot to put this on the last entry!!!!

MY SCORE!!!!!!!

2006-02-08T19:04:00.000Z

I got 5 penalty's out of 10!!!

I must say, it was quite easy actually. The coaches hardly tried to save the goals, but I guess that was because we were raising money for them.

Oh yeah! -I've forgotten to say Hello: Hello everyone!
I won't retype all the beggining bit, 'cause I wan't to tell you all about it!

There was three goals in the hall, all next to each other. I walked up, shot twice and scored, then accidently kicked into one of the other goals because my aim was wrong. I then scored another three, but then the goalie saved two, and I went into the wrong goal again but this time twice in a row. I had then had all 10 penalty's, so I went to the score person thingy with a pretty good score of 5.

So some of you owe me money, but I'll leave adding up to you!!!

Bye 4 now! xxx

Penalty shoot out day TOMORROW!!!!!!

2006-02-07T19:48:00.000Z

Hello!

I am really nervous because today is Tuesday the 7th of February and tommorow is the 8th which means..........PENALTY SHOOT OUT DAY!!!!!!!!! I am NOT looking forward to it, I repeat Not looking forward to it!

Dad coached me for about 30mins last night, so I feel the slightest bit better than I did on Sunday.-I just need to remember about 100,000,00 things and I'll be OK(ish).

I've got 10 sponsers! Thank you to everyone who sponsered me! Without you I'd only have 7/8 sponsers.

Here's a picture of Stuart Pearce when he scored a penalty:

-I hope I don't look quite like that when I've done all 10 penalty's!-

Bye 4 now! xxx

P.S. The next entry will be how I got on in my Penalty Shoot Out Day!!!

Disney Land!!!!!!

2006-02-03T19:53:00.000Z

Hello!

This is a blog entry that I KNOW you've all been waiting for!

It's the description of..............DISNEY LAND PARIS!!!

After a tiring day at school, Mum picked me up in the car, and took me round to Nanny's house. When we arrived, only Grandad was home. Mum said that Grandad was going to take us to S.T. Pauls church (in Hellesdon), where I normally meet for Brownies. When we got there, only a few other Brownies were there. Soon, everyone had arrived and we were just waiting for the coach. We waited, and waited, and waited. After about 15mins, the coach didcome, everyone jumped on. I made sure I had my travel bands, because I get a bit sick in cars/coaches. The journey was a long one, and I was feeling terrible. However, when we stopped Mum gave me a travel tablet, and I was fine for the rest of the journey.

When we got to Disney, a lady dressed all in blue, showed us all to our luxry cabins, but when we got inside them......
We had to make a whole sofa bed up after a 13 and 1/2 hours in a coach. (Bearing in mind that it was 5 in the morning!) I got a good 3hours sleep, and by morning I was ready for anything......except what was going to happen that day!

Well, I'll have to leave you in suspense until 2morrow/ Sunday/ Monday ect

Bye 4 now!!!

Sponsor me!!!.............................

2006-01-31T20:47:00.000Z

Hello!

I'm afraid it's still not Disney!

I'm only doing a small entry, about sponsoring ME! on Febuary the 8th, at school we're having a 'Penaltly shoot Out Day' at school. It's to raise money 50/50 to Football in the Community and my school (Firside Middle). So, will anyone sponsor me? I get 10 shots into the net against 1 of our school coaches, so don't sponsor me more than 50p!

Tell me through a comment and I will write it on the sheet for you. (If you just tell me how much you want to sponser me!)

If you want an extra 2p to go to Football in the Community then put that in the comment aswell!

Bye!

Guess What?.....MORE HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-01-31T20:30:00.000Z

Firstly, I want to reasure you that this is NOT a description of Disney Land, I repeat NOT (N-O-T) a description of Disney Land!

But, It is another peice of homework.

Another argument, but this time it's not to stop homework, it's to make school dinners healthy.

So, (without more delay!) here it is:

Should school dinners be changed to a ‘Set healthy’ meal?

The Local Education Authority has recently been debating whether or not school dinners should be changed to a ‘Set healthy’ meal, which could ensure that all children who have a hot-dinner would eat healthily. So, the question has now arisen of whether or not school dinners should be changed to a healthy and to a healthy and nutritious meal meal.

Those against say that the children’s school dinners are about as healthy as your average restaurant. However food chains like McDonalds and Burgerking have a lot of added salt and sugar, therefore they are not very healthy. In addition to this, those for state that it’s better for children to have a fully healthy meal as it means that they are awake and ready for the afternoon’s work.

Critics of changing school dinners argue that if the change did take place, children may not want a hot-dinner for many children don’t like vegetables, and may decide to have a pack lunch as an alternative instead. Also, in a serious case the pupils may decide to go on a hunger-strike to get their own way. However, those in favour claim that Jamie Oliver is currently trying to encourage pupils to eat healthily at school, by making healthy food seem fun to eat.

To bring this argument to a close, after a great deal of thought a decision has been made that school dinners will be changed to a ‘Set healthy’ meal every day except Friday’s, when the pupils will have the choice of something from the old menu. We also are asking parents to encourage their children to eat healthily at home.

Hope you read it, because it took 2 NIGHTS!

Bye 4 now! xxx

More homework!!!

2006-01-23T19:27:00.000Z

(You'd better read all this because it took ages to do!!!)

Heloo!

As you can see, it's more homework, but this time it's an argument. In class we have looked at sheets that are arguments that have been sorted out. One of them was: 'Should dogs be banned from local parks?'

Anyway, when it came to homwork time, this is what are homwork had to include:

Introduction with some background info about the topic.

At least to paragraphs, 'sandwiched' between your intro and conclusion

Connectives.

Conditional words.

Use of debate language.

An impersonal, formal style.

Well, here's my argument of whether or not:......

Should primary school children be given weekly homework?

Homework has been given out by teachers since around the 1940’s, and nearly doubled for children since their grandparents' time. The pupils have been complaining about it since then, which means that the question now arises whether or not students should be given homework.

Having homework means that children get extra learning for forthcoming tests at school, or just general work in class. However critics say that after a day of hard work at school the children deserve a break from work and study, and should take their spare time after school to relax and take a break. Furthermore, they may have clubs such as; dance, football, drama etc and might not have time to do their homework.

Supporters of homework argue that at home, the pupils are probably not learning anything whilst watching T.V., playing electronic toys, or staying over at a friend’s. However, with homework, the children are learning outside of school and inside. Conversely, those against homework state that there are lots of different ways of learning outside of school, other than homework, e.g. ICT; searching the web for fun learning sites, television; educational programs and documentaries.

In conclusion some in-depth research from Wikipedia (an internet website) has shown that having homework sometimes makes the students overstressed and tired. In the worst cases, it may actually cause children to develop mental problems. This is obviously a very rare problem, but is possible. Consequently after a great deal of thought, the decision has been made that homework will only be given out at the end of every term, so that children have extra time for homework during the holiday.

Hope u enjoyed reading that,

Jade and the flying scooter

2006-01-20T20:37:00.000Z

This is my up-dated literacy homework, because Mum and Dad pointed out that I had just re-told the story, rather than modernised it, which is what it said to do on the sheet!!!

Well, here it is!:

Hello! You might have heard of me in ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ I’m ‘Jacks’ mum. The reporter got everything wrong! ‘Jack’ is really Jade and there are lots of other mistakes too! Here’s the real story:

In 4015 me and Jade were so poor we had nothing for dinner. I told Jade to sell our favourite robot for Euros. So Jade left for the city. It was a long walk but on the way she met a man on a flying-scooter. He wanted a robot and offered to swap it for his scooter. Jade agreed, took the scooter and gave him the robot.

When she told me what had happened I was furious! I chucked the scooter out of the window and sent Jade to bed. When Jade got upstairs she looked out the window at her new scooter and to her amazement it rose up to the window close enough for her to jump on. One minute Jade was just flying round the garden then she disappeared…

Jade re-appeared in a strange place with nothing except 5 pots of gold, surrounded by dwarfs. She leapt off her scooter and ran towards the pots of gold, attempting to grab one of them. The dwarfs pushed her back. Then Jade remembered her scooter. She ran over and jumped on, flew over the dwarfs and grabbed a pot of gold! She flew gracefully over to the spot where she had first arrived and was back to her garden in no-time.

When she told me what had happened this time, I was so pleased that I went and bought Jade a ‘tamagotchi’ which she had always wanted!

Now you know the real story is, Jade and the flying scooter!

bye 4 now!!!

Homework

2006-01-16T18:08:00.000Z

Hello!

Today I was doing my home-work in which we had to modernise the traditional tale of; Jack in the bean-stalk.

Here's my version:

There was once a little girl called Jade, who lived in a small cottage. Her mum owned a goat (Daffodil). They were very poor and had little food for tea, so one day Jades mother asked her to go to the village and sell Daffodil. Sadly, Jade tied a piece of rope round Daffodil’s neck, and set off for the village.

The village was a long way away. Jade was tired out!
But, surprisingly her journey was shortened, when she bumped into an old man. “Hello” He said. “How’d you like three magic acorns? I’ll swap them for your goat.”
“Well, I, Ok then!” So Jade handed over Daffodil, and took the magic beans. She looked up and the man had gone!

Jade went home and told her mum about what had happened. Jade’s mum was very angry and threw the beans out of the window before sending her to bed. In the morning, Jade was shocked to see an oak tree in their garden! She quickly got dressed and hurried out into the garden to climb it. When she reached the top, she saw a big whole. She slipped in and realised it was a slide! When Jade reached the bottom, she saw an enormous hen sitting next to a pot of gold. She reached out for them, but heard a noise. When she looked down, she saw thousands of tiny people guarding the two objects.

“You are who?” one of them rudely queried. “J...J...Jade, Welter-weed.” She stuttered nervously. “That’s fine then!” said another of the little people, “take them, take them both. -The treasure I mean!-” The people slowly moved out of the way so that Jade could reach the ‘treasure’, and Jade took them back to her house to show her mum.

She was so pleased with her daughter that she went out and bought jelly for desert –seeing they had so much money– which was Jade’s most favourite!

When you next hear the story of ‘Jack and the bean-stalk’, you’ll know that this is the real story!

Well, thats all for now!

The book that I was reading but finished last night!!!

2006-01-13T16:23:00.000Z

-rather long title again!-

I was reading a book (as the title explains), called 'The feild guide' which is the 1st book in 'The Spiderwick chronicles' by Tony DiTerLIZZi and Helen black. It was really good, and I couldn't wait for reading time at school!

Here's a picture before I tell you more about it!...

It was really scary at one point because the boy found an old room, that looked like it hadn't been used for years and years. There was an old dusty desk that had nothing but piles of books on, when the boy first looked. He was just about to go out of the room again, when he heard a scraping noise coming from the desk. He went over to it to find out what it was. Something had written something in the dust: 'Click clack watch your back!' Yet no-one had come in the room (exept himself), for what seemed like years!

It was a.....................

The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. (Narnia)

2006-01-09T16:49:00.000Z

Long title again!!!

Hi everyone!

Yesterday (Sunday), I went to the cinema to see 'The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe.' It was really good!!!!! I went with my auntie Julie, cousin Devon, uncle Paul, auntie Sarah and Mum. The witch was a very good actor, and so was Lucy for she looked only 7/8!

Me and Mum loved the little beavers; they looked so cute! It was more scary than the 1st version of the film.

I really liked the faun:

He was funny!

As I said, me and mum loved the beavers, because (if you've seen it), you have to admit that they were extremely cute!!!

Bye 4 now!

P.S. Paul.H. I blogged about it before u!!!!!

First day back at school (rather long title isn't it?)

2006-01-06T19:18:00.000Z

Hello!

My first day back at school was....um....indescribable I guess. It was good because my friend Hannah and me connected our Tamagotchi's that we both got for Christmas.-mine doesn't look like that!-

But then we had a games lesson in the afternoon and it was freezing cold and I was frozzled to a frizzling freezle!
We were playing 'Hockey'

I was cold, my friends were cold, and even my hockey stick was cold!!
I guess it wasn't too bad then..........NOT

Alice in Wonderland

2006-01-04T18:58:00.000Z

On new years day me, Ouma and Papa went to the Mader-Market to see Alice in Wonderland.

It was really good!
All of the actors were really good, especially the mock-turtle and the mad-hatter.(They were actually both the same actors!) The only bad thing about it was.......

The director missed out tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum. They are my Fantabidosiest characters!!!

Despite this, I loved the show -especially because I got to have a bag of sweets during the 2nd half!-

Thank you for taking me Ouma and Papa!!!!!

Peter Pan

2005-12-30T13:17:00.000Z

Heloo!

Yesterday, I went to the theatre to see 'Peter Pan'. It was Milly's first time ever, and she was absolutley, positively amazed!
- don't worry, that's not what the seats looked like-!

It was really good, I just have two exceptions; They didn't throw sweets out and there was a different actor for the dame. (I checked in the program!)
My favorite parts, were when things went wrong on purpose, if you see what I mean. ( what I mean-. (Yes Devon, things were meant to go wrong!)

There's just one litle story that links on to the show.......

Well, every year, me and my cousins (on mum's side of the family), go to the theatre royal to see the Christmas pantomime, and this year we arranged it to be on a Thursday. However, mum thought it was on Wednesday. (Of course, I knew all along it was Thursday!) So she arranged some of her friends and their children to come for dinner on the Thursday. (Hope your keeping up here!)

So on Wednesday, me and my mum arrived at the theatre waiting for Aunty Heather to come with our tickets. We waited, and waited, and waited. But -of course- no-on came. In the end, mum went over to a lady who worked at the theatre and asked when when we were booked in for. Guess what?............

SHE SAID THAT WE WERE BOOKED FOR THURSDAY!!!!!!!

The next day, we went back on the right
right day. Aunty Heather, Jess, Beth, and Pauline were there and everything went smooth as a smoothie!!!!!

Bye 4 now! xxx

Just to say..........

2005-12-28T20:24:00.000Z

Hi!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with my entries!

The reason, is that I have become obssed with the game 'SIMS'. It's basically the same as our lives, but of course, I control them! I've made 3 families, but only 2 have houses.

Mum and Dad are always telling me to come off the Sims, but if I could; I'd play on it all day!

Hope to hear LOADS of comments, (Paul Heybourne, you won't get away with not commenting because you were the 1st person I showed the Sims game to!)

Bye 4 now! xxx
