Me and Polly tried to get into the pool. We gave false names and had sunglasses on but the woman said you two arent allowed here. I pretended I was french and didnt understand her but Polly started laughing. I can fit twelve hubbabubbas into my mouth. Then the BEST THING EVER happened. We walked past this hotel called Holiday Inn and Polly said maybe it had a pool. So we pretended we are staying at the hotel. It turned out they DID have a pool. It was OK. But the BEST thing was we went up in the lift and found one of those trolleys that was full of free shampoos and little bottles of wisky which is DISGUSTING. Outside the rooms people left food on trays so we collected all the tomato ketchups and on the way home we did begging. We sat on the pavement near Rymans and put ketchup on our legs and pretended we were dying drinking wisky. To be honest Polly is not such a good actress as me. We begged 3 pounds 55p and had to stop because we saw Miss Major coming down the road arm and arm with her lesbian. We brought some more candy (we got 3 cadbury dairy milk for 3 pounds and on Monday we will sell them at school for 20p per peace).

TOP SECRET Polly and I saw Josh and Evie kissing we were using Evies deodorant in the top loo and they came up so we had to hide. They sat on the bed and stuck their faces together. REVOLTING. We tried to work out what that means if they get married and we think it makes us sisters. Sort of.

Josh asked me to be his model for his art project. I dont know whether I am pretty or not yet. Dad says I am pretty. Mum says I have an interesting face, Josh says that means ugly. I have done my first SITTING. Its v boring actually and Joshes room is smelly. Portrait sitting is just doing nothing with Josh being bossy. Dont move. Chin up. Stop blinking. He wont let me see the picture until it is finished on Friday. He thinks hes Piscasso or someone the way he holds his pencil out and shuts one eye.
