Lovely Battenburg, Mrs Brown of Kettering

So, in the time-honoured way of moving the universe around a static spaceship, we searched through every book on my shelves until we found "Little Miss Whatsername and the Pirates" so that I could go dressed as a pirate. Erin was Waldo but I never found her.

So once I'd finished swimming and had a bite to eat, we hastened round there past the roadworks where the gasmen were still drilling.

Over the period there were arguments, lego, singing, dancing and top quality cake as well (I said I didn't like it, but have been caught on video saying yumyum and eating it) but the adults could only talk and drink beer. Home for 9 something which was a shame as we all wanted to stay longer.
