Christmas Swim

A script and a story based on Bluey's Christmas Swim and inspired by my memorable Christmas last year, when I got that Scream Street joke book...

This story gives an insight on what happened during Bluey's extended family Christmas at Uncle Stripe's house. Dr. F and Six spend Christmas with me and my monster extended family, and I recieve an alien notebook and a monster joke book. I decide to write playscripts in my new notebook based on the jokes, and we set up a movie based on the jokes using our drawings.

Tiger Fairy Face Paint

Deep in the jungle lives a tiger fairy. This magical character can only be unleashed with the magic of face paint, which you can use on yourself or on your child. You can identify the tiger fairy by the smell of cotton candy. Use cotton candy body spray on your child after applying the face paint.

Treasure Jungle

I went out into the garden today, and to brighten it up, I went on an imaginary adventure with Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey and Bingo!

First, we boarded Missy's pirate ship and had a fine time sailing the seven seas (Pirates, anyone?). That is, until a giant storm washes us into the rainforest, where we trekked across, trying to find help. Along the way, we tamed a jaguar by tickling it and found a way round a hippo. We got lost, but found a spaceship that took us to Dagabar, where we met Luke Skywalker, Yoda and R2-D2. Yoda congratulated us on exploring the value of patience, which was explored in the Galaxy Of Sounds short 'Light Side', and gave us medals of bravery. We crash landed back down to earth in Bluey's backyard, where we met Bandit and Chilli. We talked about our adventure to them.

I.B.F.Fs: The Sea

These are copyright-avoiding versions of some stories I might do for fun someday, starring Sophie and her siblings.

In 'The Sea', Sophie and her siblings vanquish a boring bathtime by imagining they are swimming in the sea. In 'My Baby', Sophie recalls when she was a baby, and how Zura, Fang and Luna took care of her, while Duane and Sally took care of their new baby daughter Cookie. In 'Fairytale', with all the fairytale books read, Sophie and her siblings decide to concoct their own fairy story. Finally, 'Doctor's Surgery' sees Sophie and her siblings become doctors themselves are getting tired of waiting for Doctor Candy.

I.B.F.Fs: Cousin Snuggles

Four fun stories featuring Sophie and her family and friends.

In 'Cousin Snuggles', Sophie and B-245 play at 'Snuggle Monsters' when Sophie stays round at Aunt Frankie's for the weekend. 'Day Trip' sees Sophie and her siblings spend time at the trampoline park one day, and the playground and library the next. In 'Takeaway', Sophie and her siblings are forced to wait 10 minutes for their pizza takeaway, so they play at delivering pizzas to the grownups. Finally, 'Birthday Parties' sees Sophie and her monster siblings attend every birthday party that has Nick organising Pass The Parcel, and interact with Candy, Tia, Snowball, Anna, Flutt, Snuffles and Goldie outside the game.

Painted Peace Rocks

As an interlude because I'm not doing any stories, I'm sharing with you this craft for marker-painted rocks. You can paint peace symbols on them and leave them on the doorsteps of other people, to let them know that the whole neighbourhood lives in peace and harmony.

Jacqueline Wilson Daydream Journal - Rug Island & Queens

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I imagine swimming in the sea.

Bored of fairy tale books, we decide to make up our own fairy story.

Chicken, Tongue, Ham & Beef

Ben took me out by himself today, without the support of Lee-Anne, Charlotte or Libby. Before you could say 'Robotboy', here's exactly what happened a few hours earlier.

As you can see, the clip above was playing in my head as I was enjoying a remarkably windy picnic of sandwiches, sausage rolls and pork cocktail sausages. I was shivering from the cold wind the entire time, so Ben and I decided to do something warm.

That was watching the seals on the scenic route. We watched as the seals lazed about in the sun doing nothing at all. One white seal was rolling about, and another was in the water. Ben and I discussed our favourite sea animals - mine was a dolphin, while Ben's was a whale...as you know.

Next, I went to the bookshop and brought this Hey Duggee World Book Day book at a really low price, with a pen too.

However, upon going to Harry Gow's to get a cake, we realised they were fresh out of cake! I imagined that Duggee must've stolen all the cakes to make the Squirrels cross, or Bandit stole all the cakes to stash in the cupboard and Bluey and Bingo have gotten angry with him. We went on a little drive, and then we went back home.

That's a different support worker to you!

One Line A Day - Libby's Day

I went to Libby's house, where I watched Lady & The Tramp and enjoyed lunch at the table. It's a bit sickly...
