No school for two whole weeks! (Yeah!)

I can forget ALL about lessons (and irritating things like Marcus Meldrew).

And concentrate on good stuff like:

• Inventing new ways to annoy my sister Delia. (So many).
• Band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek).
• Watching TV and eating caramel wafers.
• Eating caramel wafers and watching TV.

Excellent.

Unfortunately a couple of small problems called the dentist and my big weirdo sister, Delia, seem to be getting in the way of my BRILLIANT plans . . .
