Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes left for mum. The poem and comments made mum smile and she appreciates your kind thoughts. Mum and dad went out for a romantic meal last night to celebrate her birthday and their 20th wedding anniversary, which was on Wednesday.
On Monday I had some celebrating to do of my own. I auditioned for a role in the Viva! Christmas pantomime “Cinderella”. I will play the character Buttons. He really likes Cinderella, but he daren’t admit his feelings, as she is about to marry Prince Charming.
The only problem is, they would like me to sing “You Raise Me Up” by Westlife. I have no problems with the band or song, but I don’t think the song would suit my voice. I have requested to sing a more positive song like “Get Happy” by Judy Garland.
They will send me an e-mail within the next few days with song titles to choose from. When they told me I got the part, I just laughed, I couldn’t believe it! I was excited to learn than Buttons has an even bigger part to play in the show than Prince Charming.
Now I am determined now to learn my lines off by heart, and not let stage fright take over on the day.
Later on my family and I are going on a caravan holiday to Burnham-on-Sea in just outside Wales. This time, I was allowed to take a friend for company. Kailei is so looking forward to it as she doesn’t go away often.
I have been to Burnham many times before. Each time we have stayed in a different caravan park. We are staying in Brean Sands this weekend and I have never been there before. So I’m really looking forward to a break away from home!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Next week I am considering writing a Q&A session about myself. If you have any questions, please leave them as a comment. I promise to answer them all truthfully and honestly. It's exciting to think what kind of questions you guys could come up with... don't be afraid, just ask!
Also if you haven’t signed my Guestbook yet, please do! Thank you xx

2. What is your favorite thing about journaling?
3. What do you think you've learned about yourself throughout your journaling experience?
