You'll do great hun, you've got this far...but remember *sounding like her mum* it's not the winning it's the taking part that counts

although winning is a bonus

Yeah...we didn't win *sob*, but we did do really well. Besides, we won last year, so I suppose its someone else's turn to hold the trophy...(which we named Pippin... )

Ach well, you did your best

Pippin

Yeah, my friends are obsessed with Lord of the Rings...even to the point of naming a trophy...

you should send them all

Oh, they've already done that! One of them has even learnt some elvish...she's not very good at it, but still persists...They've also written their entire school timetable in runes, and one of them tried to translate a science test that they didn't understand into elvish...you have no idea...

Learning Elvish would be cool

Yeah...if only one had the time

Only four days left until our little school holidays, where we have two weeks off...yay!

we've still got a week or two until the october holidays

Ooh, I can't wait until the holidays...It will be kinda weird though, because I am going to Italy for nine weeks on an exchange programme from 28th of november until the 1st of February, during which christmas and my b/day fall, so I have to have a pre-16th B/day celebration this holidays with all of my friends, and start shopping for some warmer clothes this holidays....

I'm desperate to go on holiday, would love to go down and visit a friend in England for a couple of days, but the rents probably wouldn't let me go.

Yeah...I know how you feel...My mum's letting me go to a foriegn country all by myself, but she wouldn't let me go to the Perth Royal Show with my friends unless an adult went with us...where's the logic in that?

I hate this not being an adult but not being a child thing

yeah, such a grey area...I hate grey, why can't it be blue or red or something? *shakes fist at the powers that be*

AS long as you're not making the fist of power we're fine

Am away down to watch my school rugby team play, woohoo!

Cool! I don't know much about Rugby...are your school's team any good?

Our rugby team are bloody brilliant!

Best squad we've seen in years, I love rugby

I don't follow much sport...not really my thing...but our school football (australian rules) team are the all-girl champions for Western Australia...always makes me feel guilty that I never went along to watch any of their matches....

I love Rugby and the guys team are great - dunno about the girls - and I like watching it - it's better live - but I like watching footie, but only during big events like the World Cup

Haven't been able to get away from sport on TV latley...on all of the free to air chanels in Aus. they seem to be showing one sport or another...especially since the aus. rules. football grand final was on last week...but now its all cricket on the tv....
