Half-Term Holiday

This week has been our half-term holiday, and so far it's been really enjoyable. I didn't do anything much on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, apart from buying a couple more Christmas presents - I only have one left now!!
After church on Sunday I went and stayed over at Mark and Heidi's, which was great fun. We played board games all evening, including a game of Lord of the Rings Risk until midnight! The next day we all trooped to see my sister Mim's new house, which she just bought, in Abingdon. I think it's really nice, but the decoration leaves a little to be desired!
Yesterday we went out to Bourton-on-the-Water for the day, which was great fun. I couple of new books - yay! - and lots and lots of candles! I persuaded Dad to buy these really cool Christmas ones which have a small candle in the middle which you light then its surrounded by a larger wax part with stars or reindeer etched out so they light out they're really pretty!
I saw this really funny cushion as well which Dad almost bought for me, it said 'I'm not bossy, I just have better ideas!' I liked that. I agree with it.
This morning I've been doing history and lit homework which I've been putting off, then I'm going to a party this afternoon which should be fun.
But I'd better stop blogging now because the Pillonels just came from France so I'm probably supposed to be being sociable - although I'm so tired there's no way I can possibly speak French today!
