Halloween!!!

Halloween is almost upon us and I'm pretty excited this year :) I'm hoping to do a bit of trick or treating with my friends and also I'm going to London :D soooo excited. For Halloween I'm thinking of dressing up as a vampire (since I'm very into Twilight saga, The Vampire Diaries, etc) and maybe as one from the 80s because that would be more exciting!!! If anyone as better ideas (involving vampires) please comment!!!! Cya: :) xx

The Forgotten Garden

This book was AMAZING! I couldn't put it down! It's now at no. 1 of my fave books. It was without doubt the best book I have ever read... BETTER THAN TWILIGHT!!!! (that's a massive compliment, by the way!). The plot was great and it never got boring. I just couldn't set it down! I read it inside four days and didn't want to do anything but read. I'm really upset that I've finished it because it was just so good.

The Plot:

It's hard to explain without giving too much away, but basically this lady, Nell, finds out that she was found on one of the boats that comes from England to Australia and a guy who works at the docks in Australia takes the girl home for him and his wife to raise. When Nell finds out she blocks her family out and goes to England to uncover the truth. When she dies her granddaughter Cassandra goes to England to solve the mystery.

One finale thing... READ IT!!!

The Twins

I have two new siblings born today. They're VERY cute and VERY small. One is called Ella (She is the older twin, though she's a lot smaller) and the other Jack (He slept the whole time I was visiting!). I have one other sister, Kate, who is one and a half. It seems like a long time since she was that small. I held Ella in the hospital and her tiny hand clutched my finger and her tiny, squinty eyes looking into mine and tried to take the surrounding in. Ella is definitely the more alert of the two seeing as Jack slept the whole time, even when Ella started crying! I love my new siblings sooooooooooooooooo much!

New Moon!!!!!!!!!

I went to see New Moon yesterday evening at the Dundonald omniplex!!! I am speechless it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!! I went with three of my friends and well what can I say? My friend, Aoife was so glued to the screen she forgot about her popcorn! The interesting thing was it was called New Moon and that night it was a 'new moon'! A new moon is where there's just a tiny curve of the moon left. I give it 5 stars : *****

I'm not looking forward to Monday though. Try to guess why. If you're a teacher you will have a head start because you'll know about that one wee thing that all secondry level pupils have to do at winter.... Yes it's the dreading return of

THE WINTER EXAMS!!! dun dun duhhhhh!

HOLLISTER!

WOW! I literally have just got back from Hollister, Victoria Square!!!! Words cannot describe how great it is! It's so easy to just spend your money like that. I spent £100 and didn't think about it! (My dad did help me along a bit though!). It's really quite dark inside but has a fantastic lay out to take the shape of a surf shack. There's soooo many clothes inside and already I know what I'm asking for from Santa (gift voucher if you're wondering!) Only 4 more years and then I can get a part-time job there with staff discounts! I bought a cream jumper, a 3/4 length t-shirt: green and white and a checked shirt. The 3/4 length t-shirt is way too big but the shirt and jumper fit well.

FIRST DAY

Back again

Sullivan is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-!-!-! My teacher is ok and my timetable is great. Double PE on monday, double games on friday and art on wednesday. Can't wait for tomorrow!!!

Sorry (again)

Hey Guys,

Sorry i haven't been blogging for a while. I went on an amazing holiday to St. Lucia with my family. I went kayaking, scuba diving and I also played beach cricket. But the holidays are coming to an end and sadly I'm going to school tomorrow... on a brighter note I'm looking forward to starting my new school!!! We also got a new car, a NISSAN Pathfinder with 7 seats. Also it's my birthday soon!!!! I got my hair cut. It's pretty short, just a bit above my shoulder.

Bye!!!!!!!!

WOW NO MORE SCHOOL

I'm so glad there's no more school. I was sad to leave my old school but I'm looking forward to secondary school. Today was a cool day, it was non-uniform, we got our polo-shirts signed and we got each others numbers so we could stay in touch. After school we went to KFC and ice-vision. Then we walked to Belmont park where we met some boys we knew. We played Hunt and Truth or Dare with them. It was great crack and I'll always remember it!

What a weekend!!!!!!!!!

This weekend past I went to Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. When we first arrived we allocated our dorms and found out our teams. Then we were given a safety talk from the staff and got some name tags. After that we went back to our dorms, unpacked, got into our PJs and went downstairs to watch 'Horton Hears a Who'. We went to bed at 11:55 and got up at 7:00! We went on an early morning 'walk', on which we had to run up hills, do press ups and then see who could get back to the common room the fastest. We were ALL happy to have breakfast then. That day we painted T-shirts, went on a treasure hunt and had a talent show AS well as watch another DVD. The next morning we packed up and got ready to go, but of course there was time to have the early morning walk! There were lots of prizes to give out. I got two, one for coming 2nd in the talent show and the other was for having the tidiest dorm! Then we all went home! What a weekend!!! :-)    

movies and bed in breakfast

Last night I was over at Kate's friend's house for his 1st birthday. We stayed later than the other guests and some of the men all went to a rugby match. Then when all the babies were tucked up in bed  and the men were back from the match we all had tea and toast and tried to decide what movie to watch. We watched a movie and then went home. In the morning Dad brought me breakfast in bed!

101 things to do before you're old and boring

Sorry I haven't been on my blog for a while! My Dad has this really cool book called '101 things to do before you're old and boring'. It gives you a checklist of weird and wacky things to make or do. I really wanted a copy so Dad said I could have his (Mum says it's because he's already old and boring!). Their website is: www.thingstodo.co.uk so check it out!

Skiers

In P7 you get to go away for a week to either Delamount, Edinburgh, Italy (skiing) or Holland. I'm going to Holland. Yesterday the skiers came back and today they were keen to tell their stories. My friend Lara, was bouncing on my others friend's bed and she broke it! Also she went over a jump and landed on their instructor! I can't wait to go to Holland!

Emzo

Emily (a.k.a Emzo) came round for a sleepover on Friday. We watched two movies, both equally good, and stayed up 'till midnight! On Friday we went to Millennium park and found a boy all by himself. He didn't care that he was the only person in the park, he was just scared of a mouse he saw running around the park! He then cycled home and Emily and I played in the park. When we got home Emily started a diary... for me! Then we watched both the movies and fell asleep! In the morning we went to the Strathearn open day and then went back to Emzo's house for lunch. What a sleepover! :-)

School Blues- OVER

YES!!!  I'm so glad school is OVER! Now I can go to TESCO!

Wondering...

Gracie is wondering if she should rename her blog,' Dear Kitty...' like Anne Franks diary.

A MUST SEE

Today I went to go and see Madagascar 2 and it was fantastic! It's a must see. It's very funny and it shows you what the animals looked like when they were babies, they were sooooo cute!!! But I would recommend seeing the first one first because it would make more sense and if you haven't seen it in a wee while switch on your TV on Boxing day, BBC1 at 4:10pm and you can watch it. My mum came as a helper and she loved it, so it shows its for all the family not just the kids!!!

Let The Fun Begin!!!
