Just found out that Total Wipeout/winter wipeout is no longer going to be producing new shows. I have missed my chance to apply and appear on the show!!

We all love watching it- George and Sophie especially!

 How am I going to fulfil my task 40 now?
Completed another: Number 32: Go to a water slide park.

We went to Basignstoke aquadrome in the Easter holidays. It was great. It has a swimming pool, 3 slides, rapids and some bubble pools.

The slides where great. For the yellow and blue slides you had to go down on big ring floats either on your own or in pair. Yellow slide was slower of the two. On the blue slide you got to go uphill- how is this possible on a water slide you ask? Well it was bit like a roller coaster as there were motors that drove the float upwards. Very clever and fun. Sophie wouldn't go on any slide until about 10 minutes before the end when she went on the blue slide and loved it! Typical. She then had to try and go on as many times as she could before we had to leave!!!

The green slide was called the space bowl. I was a super fast slide that ended in a bowl a bit like a plug hole. Iain went whizzing down and ended head first through the plug hole.

It was great and I think we will go back again. Even better we used our Kellogg's free swim vouchers!

Slides look great from this angle. Sophie stuffing her face with crisps!!

Changed one of my list again.

Number 16: now it is fly away.

I have booked something to do with this. You will have to guess what it is and wait until I post the photos.
Number 28 - Be part of a team/play a team game

Last weekend Iain's brother Andy, his wife Lizzie and their children (Heather (age 9) and Daniel (age 5)) came to visit on their way to their place in France. While at the park we had a game of rounders: girls against boys


Teams:

Girls: Janette, Lizzie, Heather, Sophie
Boys: Iain, Andy, George, Daniel

We didn't have many rules just thought we would have a game. Each having a turn at batting.

What happened: Sophie refused to play and went back to the climbing frame. George then had a sulk and went off. Finally Daniel decided he didn't want to play either (before Iain hit him in the head with the rounders bat- that was later on!!).

Eventually the girls won:

Here we are:
