The End

well well well...... the annie tour has now come to an end and I shall miss it very much. Today was very sad at the end because I had to say bye to all of the cast and the Annie's. It was hard to do. When I came down the stairs in my red dress at the end everyone clapped and cheered. Even the cast! Then when the curtains shut everyone was cuddleing me and Molly because Victoria is staying and were going. I began to cry.

We had a great time in the week! We had a MAJOR snowball fight!!! It was soooo fun! Rob (the one who plays burt healy) was too good! He got me right in the face! (not fair!) The orphans joined in with the snowball fight to. I will never forget it.

This week the new Annie called Jodie stayed for two nights. I was really happy that she got the part because we are good freinds and we new eachother before the show. I met Jodie last year in Lincoln because she was one of the orphans in the show. She played Rosie.

Thank you so much for viewing my blog and I hope you have enjoyed it. I loved being Annie so much and maybe I shall go and visit some day!

"Won't ya please make me come and visit.... MAYBE!"

Thank you and goodbye! xxx

My week off

I really loved my week off! It was soo cool! When I went to school I was soooo happy to see all my freinds again! It felt a bit different though because my bff had moved to china! It was wierd without her there. Her name was Sabine. xxx On Tuesday my mum had to go and shaperone the other annies so I wouldn't see her for a week! On Saturday morning at the end of the week I went to this music centre at kings and I helped my dad out with work. I met a freind there that I hadn't seen for ages. Her name is Amy. Here is a picture of her.

Then after that me and dad drove all the way to Shroosberry to collect mum. We watched that show. Victoria was annie. It was really good! We met the orphans and they were really nice because they were Victoria's drama group! Yeh so anyway we took mum back home and just chilled out! Everything perfect!

Swindon (All the week) Moday 4th to Sat 9th

Swindon was a good week. Our room in our hotel was a bit small because molly had to sleep on a camp bed near the door where we walked in. It was a bit cramped to. We also had to share rooms with the orphans in another tiny room, so we were cramped again!! lol. It was Victoria's mum's birthday this week and she came specially to see Victoria as annie! We went to a lush shop and bought her some really nice lush for the bath! She loved that! We also went to Hawkins Bizare and I bought a splat frog where its a squishy ball and you threw it at a wall and it turns into goo lol. And then the day after at Hawkins Bizare I bought a chicken where you squeeze it and an egg popped out. Molly thought it was discusting but I thought it was cool! lol. As we were eating breakfast one morning with the lady that plays Mrs Pugh in annie, the Annie lorry with my face on drove pass! I couldn't believe it lol. This is a picture of me standing by the annie poster in the train station.

This is Michelle on her birthday.

Tuesday 21st September Coventry

Hi today we went to Coventry and we met up with Nigel and Victoria. When we went to the hotel they said they would give us a family room. But they messed the room up and gave us a room with one double bed and nothing else! So they had to bring in 3 more beds. (There was anouth space). It was quite a big room so it worked out fine! They were going to move us tomorrow into a family room.

Then Molly came and we went to the theatre. AJ was really kind because he bought me an iphone cover and case for my iphone! That was such a nice present! When we watched the rehursals I downloaded stuff on my phone and AJ helped me get msn and facebook.

Then we did a show.

Monday 20th September (My birthday!)

Today It was my birthday! I had a massive lie in till 12:00! My mum sang happy birthday to me and so did dad. Then after my lovely lie in I opened all my presents and went on my iphone and downloaded stuff and took loads of pictures and text people! Then after that me and mum baked a lovely jammy cake because my gran and my grandpa were coming round. Dad had gone out to work (the paw thing).

When grandma and grandpa came round they wanted to print out the picture of the lorry and show it to all their freinds lol. When they saw the picture they were amazed and couldn't wait to see it in real life! After that they gave me a prezzie and we all sat down and I opened the prezzie. Inside the prezzie was a beatiful purple dress with a blue cardy with it. I loved it because it was from my favourite clothes shop monsoon! Then they had the cake and I told them that I help mum make it they were very impressed because it was such a scrumsious cake! After that we went into town because I needed to get my new violin but in the end we didn't get it because I had £95 pound to spend for my birthday but the violin was £100 pound. So I couldn't get it. We only needed a cheap violin for the tour anyway.

Then I went out with my bff Twinny (Grace) again! We went swimming! When we got to the pool we bumped into Lily and Molly who were from my old school and I hadn't seen them for ages!!!! We played together in the pool and did hand stands and stuff. It was soooo fun!! Then twinny had to go to her swimming lesson so me, Molly and Lily got out the pool. I hugged Twinny and told her that I wouldn't be coming back in 5 weeks! But was I right???!!!

When we got home dad was back from work and we all sat down and had my favrouite tea Spagetti Bolonaise!

What a great birthday I have had and I do hope that I will enjoy being twelve!

Sunday 19th September

hiya! Today we went home! I couldn't wait to see my little doggie and my dad! When I got off the train dad was there and I ran to him as fast as I could because he was right down the bottom of the train station. I gave him the biggest hug ever! It felt so nice to be back in Macclesfield again.

When I got home I saw Lady (my dog)! I gave her a big hug to! She was happy to see me! It was Grace's birthday today and its mine tommorow! But she emailed me to say if I wanted to go round to her house and go out for a birthday meal! I said yes so I waited for her at home. When she arrived I gave her an enormous hug! (I like hugs! lol) Then we went out to a resturant. We sat on this table and we had our own birthday TV! It was sooo cool! Then Dave (Grace's dad) went up to the counter and asked if the waitress could bring the birthday cake to us and sing happy birthday! She said yes. So we had our tea. I had fish sticks, curly chips and peas and Grace had a burger, curly chips and beans. It was gorgous! Then after that the waitress came and so did some more and everyone sang happy birthday to me and Grace because we were having a joint birthday!

This is a picture of Grace. (I call her twinny because she looks like me!)

What a cool day!!! Then I went home and relaxed in my lovely bed!

Friday 17th September

Hi! Today I was soooooo excited!!!! I was excited because I was going to get my new iphone 4 for my birthday on Monday!!!! The tutor came again and tutored us. He is really good! Then after that he said would you like to come for a drink and my mum said I'm sorry but we have to get Lydia's new iphone. But he insisted that we should come! So we went quickly for a drink. Whilst we were having a drink he the tutored told us a joke. At first it was a normall joke but suddenly he shouted out a sware word and then when he finished the joke all I said was I don't get it! lol. So we decided to go because we really had to go for the phone we said goodbye and went.

When we got to the place this man on a computer helped us to set up the iphone and told us some information. He was really good and very kind. He told me how to install the apps and to go on the internet and to text. I couldn't wait to see it. Then suddenly he brought a box and that said iphone 4 on it and I knew it was in there sitting, waiting for someone to buy it! I opened the box and there it was! The most coolest phone ever! When we went back to the appartment I kept texting people. Then aventually mum  told me to stop because I'm not really alowd to use it till Monday.


After that we went to the theatre. I begged to bring my phone but mum said no. When I got there I couldn't stop thinking about my phone and I kept telling everyone about it. But luckily I didn't think about it during the show lol!

When we went out the theatre after the show. We knew the lorry with my face on had arrived but there was no time to look!

Alot of exciting things happened today!!

Thursday 16th September

Today we were tutored by a teacher called Mick. He was realllyyyy good at teaching!!He taught us loads of stuff and he helped you whenever you wanted help!

After that we went shopping and Molly did really well and bought some uggs, some jeggings, a handbag and a neckless!!!! She was really lucky because when she went for the bag the one that she wanted had sold out. So we went to the counter and asked if there was the type of bag that Molly wanted. The lady said there is one left here!! We were really surprised because the lady that wanted it must of not wanted it in the end! lol.

Then we went to see the lovely Kittens again in the petshop as always! There were 2 new ones and they were soooo cute! We called them midnight and Freddie!

After that we did another show!! (We do lots of shows lol) Molly was Annie and I was Tessie. It went extremely well!!

Wednesday 15th September

In the evening show when I say "and I love you to" in the sad bit and give Mr Warbucks a hug, this man in the audience said arrrrr!!! Really lowdly lol. Before the show Henry came up to me with his iphone and showed me a picture of me. He said this picture is going to be on the side of the luckings lorry! I couldn't believe it! I went straight to my mum and told her! We were both speechless lol.

Can't wait to see this lorry! It shall arrive on Friday!!!!!!! :D

Tuesday 14th September

Hi guys! We went to a museum about Carlisle in the past. It was called Tully's house. It was really interesting and there was this cave with a dark tunnel in it and I didn't want to go in it because I was too scared. lol. But my mum went in it first and she was in for ages. When she came out she said its fine because its just like a normall tunnel lol. Molly went in after and I was left by myself! I shouted Molly don't leave  me by myself! Then Molly came back out and pulled me in the tunnel. The tunnel was dark and it had some models in which was a bit freeky. When we came out I was fine.
Here is a picture of me and Molly sticking our heads through this wall with a picture on lol.

After that we went to the Cathedral it was beautiful! The ceiling had all stars on and a face of someone in the middle. We saw some candles that people had lit for the dead people. So I lit one for my Nana and Molly lit one for her Grandad. Here is a picture of me outside the Cathedral. 

After that we went to the theatre and did a show. It wasn't as good as Monday show because the audience wasn't as good. I was Annie and Molly was Tessie.

After that we went to bed lol.

BYE X

Monday 13th September

Today we met the orphans from Carlisle and they were really nice! We ran through the the songs as usuall and we did a photo shoot for the newspaper! It took so long that we didn't have time to do mike check! This is a picture of the orphans.  

The show went BRILLIANTLY!!!!!! The audience were sooooo lowd and I got a massive chear at the end!!!!!!! I also got standing ovastion at the end! But the only problem was that we couldn't hear the band because they were at the back of the stage and we couldn't see them. I could hear the piano but nothing else. After the show we went back to our hotel. This week is going to be good!!!!!!!

Carlisle Sunday 12th September

Today we got on the train to go to Carlisle! I was really excited because I had no idea what Carlisle was like! We went to the train station to get on our train. When we were there Audrey bumped into us! (Audrey is the one who plays Mrs Pugh in the show.) So we decided to invite Audrey to travel with us. It was really fun with Audrey because she told us all about her life and she has been on loads of TV stuff! When we got off the train we saw Molly waiting for us! I ran up to her and gave her a hug because I hadn't seen her for a week! We went outside with Audrey and she had to get a taxi. We didn't because the hotel was right opposite the train station! We said goodbye to Audrey and went to the hotel.

We were in 1 room together. I suppose it was ok for the week. Then we decided to go and have a look at the theatre! When we got there....... Gareth and AJ were standing there and said "come here look at this!" I ran to them and they said look beside you! AND.............................. there was an Annie van with me on it! It was amazing because it had my face on!!!! Here is a picture of the Annie van! 

Then we went to look at the theatre! It was soooooo cool! It was a hall basically with seating and a stage. It was really big for a hall! Then we went for a lovely meal! I had spag bol! The restaurant was a 4 star one and it was sooooooooooooooooooo nice!!!! Looking forward to the show tomorrow!!!!!!

BYE!

Saturday 11th September

Today my 2 cousins Sidney and Elliot came to watch me in Annie. And so did my uncle and my step aunt. I did the matinee show and it was really full! Alot fuller then the other days! I knew it was fuller because on all the other shows no one was on the top level. But this time there were people on the top level! So it was definetly fuller! lol. After that me, Sid, Ells, Jonathon and Kate went to have tea at pizza express! I had pasta bolognaise! It was very tomatoey lol. But the bad thing about the tea was that the pasta had cheese on and I hate cheese. But I still had to try and eat as much as I could. I didn't eat it all but I ate quite alot. After that we said goodbye to Sid and Ells and prepared for the last show this week. I was really sad that we had to leave another LOVELY set of orphans. The show went well AGAIN! lol. And at the very end one of the orphans cried because she was going to miss it so much. I stayed in touched with them and got there msn's again like I usually do.

What a great week I have had in Reading. I shall miss it lots.

Friday 10th September

Today we WERE going to go swimming but we didn't in the end because the tutor was really late. So anyway, yeh, did our tutoring and then after that we went to the theatre to do a show. Victoria was Annie. The show went really well. While we were being tutored mum went to look at the paddleing pool to see if it was still there. But all the water had gone because the man was draining it.

What a great day!

Thursday 9th September

Today we got up and waited for our tutor to come because today we had to get tutored. The tutor was very nice. She was Indian and I found her quite hard to understand. But she was nice. After that, when the tutor went, we decided to go to the park again. We went in the pool but.... the man was draining it and we asked him why. He said because its the end of summer and it's getting dirty. But he said we could still go in! So we did! Then we went in the park for a bit on the sand and there was a twig and I hert my foot! It started to bleed and it really hert! We decided to go in the pool again to sooth it down. It worked lol. Then after that as usual we went to the theatre and did a show. Victoria was Annie again. What a great day we had! BYE X

p.s This is me and Victoria having our wigs done.

Wednesday 8th September

Hi! Today we had 2 shows and Victoria did the matinee as Annie. There were only about 50 or 40 people in the audience! They didn't really clap and they were really quiet. But the show still went well. After that we went to Burger King again because I wanted to try and get the Lassie dog. My mum asked at the counter and she said there is none left. But oh well. I still had a meal! After that I was Annie in the night show and the audience were a bit better this time. But there were still not many there. Then we went back to the appartment.

p.s  In our dressing room we have a really nice fridge! Look!

Tuesday 7th September

Hiya! Today we got up and went for a walk along this river. We saw a park in the distance and me and Victoria really wanted to go on it! We went to it. There was loads of stuff. We went on this spinny thing where you sit on this seat and it spins you really really fast! Well I span her then she span me lol. Then suddenly Victoria spotted a paddleing pool! We wanted to go in it but my mum said it looked a bit dirty so we didn't. But then Nigel (Victoria's dad) went in it! He said it feels really nice on your feet and its not too cold! It was a lovely sunny day so we went in it! Then my dad started to come in it! We wanted my mum to come in it but she didn't want to! It was soooooooooooooo nice! Here is a picture of us in the pool!

After that we saw this deck chair but as a swing! We wanted to go on that too. First Victoria had a go and my mum pushed her really high! Then I had a go but I didn't want to go high so she pushed me a little bit and it was really relaxing because it was like you were in a cradle and you could sun bathe too! Then my dad had a go and we pushed him not very high and he almost went to sleep! Here is a picture of me and mum pushing dad!

Then we went shopping into town and we went to starbucks! I had this lovely chocolate creamy milkshake frapochino! It was sooooooo nice!! And Victoria had a lemon one! Then we went home and had tea. Then went to the theatre and did a show as usual. That night I slept like a log. lol.

Monday 6th September

Today we waited outside for Victoria and her dad (Nigel) to come! I couldn't wait to see Victoria because I hadn't seen her for a week! When they arrived I showed Victoria the apartment. She thought it was ok for the week. Then we went to the theatre to meet the orphans. They were awsome orphans! We ran threw the songs that the orphans do. My dad and Nigel sat and watched. The little Molly is soooooo cute! Shes six again! She's called Beau! She is REALLY good! When we went out we took this funny photo of me and Nigel by the Annie poster! And here it is!

After that we went to Burger King for a quick tea because of the show. There were these little free dog toys you could get in your kids meal. I wanted the Lassie dog because you can comb its tail. But I got this really cute one that sits on a cusion. Then we went back to the theatre to do a show. It went really well but the little Molly Beau accidently started to early. But it was only there first go so they did REALLY well!

Reading Sunday 5th September

Today we set off to Reading. Dad drove us there. The journey took an hour and a half. When we got there it wasn't as nice as Milton Keynes. We were above a carpet shop. The apartment was nice and modern but VERY small. Atleast it had wireless! After that we went to Tescos to get some food for the apartment. Then we came back and dropped it off. Next we went to find the theatre just to have a little look at it. It took a while to find it because it was in a very strange place. But it is close anouth to walk there. To get to the theatre we had to walk threw a very horrible smelly car park which had all mold in it and stuff. We finally saw the theatre (the Hexegon Theatre). It's called the Hexegon theatre because it is in the shape of a hexagon! We saw the Annie poster. Then we went pack to the apartment and, thats it really lol. But I couldn't wait to see Victoria! It's Molly's week off this week so she won't be here. I am missing her lots. Can't wait to do show tommorow as Annie and I hope everything gose well!

Saturday 4th September

Today we had 2 shows and I couldn't wait to have a party after the matinee show. We were having a joke party and everyone who was there had to think of a joke and the best joke would win! Whilst we were doing the matinee show, dad, very kindly, setted the party up and got the food ready. I couldn't stop thinking about the party! Even Su Pollard was going to come! After the show we got changed REALLY quick! We waited outside the theatre and all the cast were there! Except for the 4 who couldn't come. When everyone was outside we all walked to our apartment because it was literly just straight on!

When we got there everyone LOVED the apartment and dad had made it really nice and moved the sopha and the table! First we ate the party food! I was hungry because I only had a little lunch. Then we got to the jokes! It was a VERY hard choice because everyones was so good! Then we finally chose the winner! The winner was AUDREY, who plays mrs Pugh! Hers was really good and she told it REALLY well!


After the AMAZING party we tieded up the house and went straight to the theatre. The show went well again! I can't tell much about the show because it always gose so well lol. Then, sadly, after the show I said goodbye to the orphans. I was really sad and almost cried. I stayed intouched with most of them and got there email adresses. Molly went home and me, mum and dad went to the apartment and decided to go home tomorrow. What a great week we had had in Milton Keynes. I will never forget it.

Friday 3rd September

Today, before the show we went rock climbing in the centre of Milton Keynes. You could do it as long as you wanted to up to half an hour! I thought I would only do about 5 minutes! And Molly thought she would do 15 mins! Then when we did it we started off. It was really fun. At first Molly didn't climb so high, but I got half way! I said to mum: "how long have we had climbing?" and mum said: "15 minutes!" We were so shocked! I said "it can't be mum! Weve only been climbing for 2 mins!" But mum was right. We were having so much fun that we forgot about all the time. Eventually half an hour had gone! It felt like 10 minutes!

Then after that we went to Starbucks cafe in this shopping centre. Dad had a coffee and me, mum and Molly just relaxed. Whilst dad was having his coffee we called my grandad because it was his birthday! We sang happy birthday to him on the phone. Suddenly Robo (Batman) (soundman) came passed and we said hello. After that Molly and mum wanted to go shopping. But I wanted to have a power nap because I had been Annie 3 times in a row. So me and my dad walked back to the apartment and I had a rest. Then, when mum and molly came back, I played on my laptop. Then we did the show.

On tonights show my uncle and his partner came to watch the show. And so did dad because he was still here. They loved it lots and after the show they came back to the apartment. They stayed for a bit and me and Molly played on my laptop. Then we said goodbye and they went.

Tomorrow is the last show in Milton Keynes. But me mum and Molly decided to have a party at our apartment! Catch up with news about the party tomorrow!

Thursday 2nd September

Today my dad was coming round to ours again! We spent the whole morning indoors waiting for him because he got a little bit lost lol. When he arrived we showed him around the apartment. He LOVED it and thought it was REALLY nice. Then me, molly, mum and dad went into town, which was a short walk away. We went to view the snow dome. It was HUGE and it had loads of stuff in it. It had a real ski slope that had real snow in it! You could go snow boarding, sking and sledging! We put our hands on the glass and it felt FREEZING! It also had a sky diving place where there was a really BIG wind and people like fly in it! It was soooo cool because we got to see people really flying! Then we went into town and there was this MASSIVE rock climbing that reached the ceiling!  We decided to go on it tomorrow!
Then we went to the theatre. I was playing Annie again! It was a really great show and it went really well. My mum said that I did extra well tonight! I don't know what I did to improve it lol.
thanks for reading!

In the afternoon Victoria went home because tomorrow she is going to her new school! Then in the evening show Molly played Annie! She did soooooooo well! And I played Tessie. The wig still wasn't done up yet so I had to wear it when it looked horrible. lol.
Thanks for reading!

Milton Keynes Tuesday 31st August

Today we got in our car to go to the train station to milton keynes!  I was soooo excited! On the way dad kept taking the wrong turnings because the sat nav was being stupid lol. Then mum kept saying: "Were gonna be late!" and as soon as we got to the train station (finally) there was a train that had pulled in and it went as soon as we got there. We stood there and said: "Weve missed the train." So then after that we went inside whilst dad waited by the car. I asked mum if I could say bye to dad. She said "There's no time!" Then I started to get really upset. Mum asked this lady have we just missed the train for Milton keynes? And the lady said..... "NO! Its in 5 minutes! Its been delayed!" Mum and I couldn't believe it! And we even had time to say bye to dad! So i did! Then we got on the train and off we went.... to our next place, Milton Keynes!

When we got there Victoria and her mum were waiting for us outside the train station! It was nice to see them again! We got into the car and drove to our apartment! (Fingers crossed it should be nice!) Mum told Michelle (Victoria's mum) what happend on the train and how we almost missed it! When we got to the apartment there was a giant glass building and we were like "WOW!" Molly's family were there to. We went in the apartment.... It had a flat screen TV a balcony and palm tree's inside the house! It was sooooo nice!!!!

Then afer that we went to the theatre! It was really good because the theate was just next door to us so we just walked there and walked back! (nice and easy lol) When we saw the theate it was huge! Here is a picture of us by the theatre!  Then we saw the Annie poster! It was quite big! It was bigger then Bradfords anyway lol.

Then when we went in we met the orphans! They were all really nice kids! The Molly was sooo cute because she was only 6! Then we ran threw the songs. All the orphans were really good singers! I couldn't wait to do the show tonight. The audience was massive and so was the stage. When we did the show I played Annie and Victoria played Tessie. Everything went really well! And I heard some really good news that a lady is coming in to make the wigs look reaaaaalllly nice! That will be good!

What a great week im going to have!

Monday 30th August

Today I went out with Twinny again. We went to Titisworth. Its like a massive park. It also had a wood in it but we didn't go in it because we had to go to my grandma's. In the park we went on this spinning thing. You sit in it and someone spins you and its really fast and really fun! Me and Twinny went in it together and span our selves. It was sooo cool!
        Then we went to grandma's. She had a park to! So we went in that! We went on these really high swings and the slide! After that Twinny came for tea at mine. We had chicken curry! It was DELICOUS!
        Then sadly Twinny had to go home. I said goodbye to her and told her that I would be back in 3 weeks. She was very sad. But 3 weeks isn't really that long is it?

Yesturday there were some ladys handing out these green ribbons that symbolised piece in Bradford. Then today some people who weren't very nice didn't want peace so everyone was arguing.
         In today's show Molly played Annie and Victoria played Tessie. It went really well. I just stood back stage and watched, but it was quite nice to have a rest. Then after that show Victoria went home because she wasn't needed in the evening show. So I played Annie and Molly played Tessie. Before the show started we went to stage door to see my dad! I was so excited! Then I saw him standing there and I rushed out and gave him the biggest hug in the world! I was sooo happy! He bought me a cuddley toy dog! It said on the collar that it was called puppy lol.  THEN THE SHOW STARTED!
        When I waited back stage I knew my dad was in the audience front row! When I got on stage and sang Maybe I saw my dad straight away! I was sooo happy! Then after the show we went to stage door and dad was there! I gave him another big hug! He said he loved it sooo much! We signed a few autographs and went to our car. I said good bye to the Annies. And went.
         When I got home and walked up the stairs to out house. I shouted "LADY!" and there she was, sitting there by the door! She was so excited! Me and mum gave her a hug. She went beserk!

Victoria hadn't been there before so we went to take her! She loved it! We went on the slide and you were alowed to go any type of way down the slide! We kept spinning around and stuff! It was really fun!
       Then we went to the show! I was Annie again! This time Rita (the dog owner) had an idea to make Danny come! She gave me a piece of cheese and told me to give it to Danny so I did. Then she gave me another and I put it in my pocket. Then on the stage Danny kept starring at my pocket. Then when I called him he came! So it worked. Then when I went off I gave him the cheese!

Wednesday 25th August

Today, Molly was Annie! She did so well! She is amazing at singing tommorow! Today, in the matinee show, I played Tessie.... AGAIN! And Molly was Annie. Molly is amazing at Annie! The show went well again! (which is good!) I was really excited for tonight because I was going to play Annie! So after the show finished it was my turn! After the show we went to Wetherspoons for tea! It was LOVELY! Then we went back to the theatre. I was Annie! The show went really well but Danny the dog (Sandy) didn't come when he was supposed to! He didn't come for Victoria and Molly either lol! I kept saying "Sandy! Come here, Sandy! Come here, boy! SANDY! SSSSAAAAANNNNDDDYYY!!!!!!!!!!!" Then he looked behind him and his owner was saying "Come on Danny! Go to Lydia!" But Danny thought she said come here! So he went off the stage! I couldn't believe it! I thought he would never come again! Then I shouted "SAAANNNNNNNDDDDYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then FINALLY he came! I got a big applause at the end! I had a really great show! It all came back to me because I had done it last year!

What a great day!

Tuesday 24th August

Today Victoria was going to play Annie! She was so excited because it's her first show. When we got there we did one rehearsal before the show. I was Annie at the end of the rehearsal and Victoria was playing Tessie. After that the orphans arrived at 2:00 and everyone got changed. Victoria was Annie and I was Tessie. I had to wear that horrible wig again! lol. Victoria did extremely well that night! We are all very proud of her! I asked Victoria which bit she liked best and she said "The best bit was at the end because I came down the stairs dressed in the red curly wig and the famous red dress!" After the song 'Smile' all the orpahans had to put their posh dresses underneath their rags for the finale. I don't like that bit because I get REALLY hot with my wig on and 2 thick layers! Victoria was very nervous at the beginning. She said "I was terrified before I went on but as soon as I put down the bucket and said my line I felt amazing!" After that we had a little party for doing the first show. We spoke to Chris Moreno (the producer) and Roger Hannah (the director) and Roger Hannah's brother (he was very friendly).

What an amazing day we had!!

Monday 23rd August

Today we had to be in the theatre by 12:00.  We got a little bit of a lie in. We went to the theatre then we did a mic check. I tested Annie's mike and Victoria tested Tessie's mike. It was really nice to be on the stage again! The theatre is REALLY nice! Then after that we put on the costumes. Victoria was Annie and I was Tessie. I have to ware the Tessie wig because my hair is too red to be Tessie. But I have to ware a wig for Annie because my hair isn't red anouth! Then the show started. Tessie dosent really do much. But when Miss Hannigan pulled the wig it almost fell off! So I held it so it wouldn't fall off lol. In the afternoon me and Victoria sat down and watch it. (Actually I might of played Tessie AGAIN) Im not sure.

Then we went home.
What a great day!

Sunday 22nd August

          Today was another day off! It was so fun!! Me, Euan (Molly's brother), Alice (Molly's sister), and Molly went swimming to this really fun pool! We also went to this textile museum. First we went to the museum.
        The museum was very interesting. It was about how they made fabric in factories in the past. The way they treated children was horrible. We went into the place where they made the fabrics. It looked so cool and there was so much machines to look at! Sorry we did not have a camera on us so we havn't got any photos. Then we went into another room where it had loads of cars in it. But old fashioned ones. There was this really strange one with 3 wheels and a motor bike attached to it! This was all very interesting!
        Then we went to the pool! It was so fun because it had this really cool curly slide and 3 diving boards! There was one little one that bownced when you jumped off it and there was another little one that didn't bounce and there was a HUGE one that didn't bounce! First we went for a little swim so we could get used to the water. Then we went on the slide. It was really good because you were allowed to go any type of way on it and it was really fast! We all went on a front feet first and turned onto our front and kept spinning around whilst we were on the slide! It was sooo cool!!!! Then we went on the diving boards! The little ones were not very scary atall lol. But the big one was soo scary! Molly said "Just jump and you will be fine!" So i did and she was right! I WAS FINE! It was sooo fun!!!!!!!!!

                        WHAT A GREAT DAY WE HAD!!!!

         

Saturday 21st August

Today we went to the theatre again. Danny the dog was there and I kept stroking him because he is soooooo cute!!!! I still had to watch what the Annie's were doing but I still stroked Danny at the same time lol. We got the schedule for when we were Annie. I am Annie on Wednesday, thursday and Saturday night. We only did the show half a day today. After that we tried on the costumes. They were still a little bit big for me lol. But they will do. Then we said goodbye to Suzie and Danny the dogs and al the cast. In the afternoon me and my mum went shopping and we went looking for a black top for back stage because when we get days off we still have to go to the theatre but stay back stage.  When we got back home Molly's brother, sister and dad came to stay for 1 night! We had a very fun night! We played games and did a concert and had lovely dinner. Alice, Molly and I shared a bedroom and had a great time together!

Friday 20th August

Hi! Today was a busy day! BUT GREAT! First we got up and went to the theatre. It was pouring with rain! We got on a bus. It was a double decker bus and we went on the top at the front! It was really really fun! Then we got off and walked to the theatre. It was still pouring down with rain. I started to feel excited because I wanted to see the poster! Finally we arrived and in the distance I saw the word Annie. It was the poster! We ran to it and stood by it and took a picture, and here it is!

Then after that we went inside. I couldn't wait to see Robo the sound man, Danny the dog, Suzie and Rita! When we got in Robo was there and we gave him a hug. It was great to see everyone again! Then Danny came with Suzie and Rita! We gave him a stroke and he was really fluffy and cute. Then we met the orphans and the Molly was sooo cute! She is only 7 but she is really good at acting! All the orphans are! Can't wait to see what happens tommorow! See you soon!

Bradford Thursday 19th August

 Hi! Today we went to Bradford. I went on the train with Molly and Victoria's family. It was a long journey. Probably 2 and a half hours. Here is a picture of us on the train! 

When we got there we went on a taxi and I wanted to see the theatre but we were going to see it tommorow. When we got to the apartment the man who owned it was standing there. There was a cafe and I thought: "Why are we going to stay in a cafe?" Then there was a house next to it. That was the place. We went in it and the man was very kind and showed us around. The apartment was nice. But it was very old fashioned and had this old smell in it. But it is fine for a week. Tomorrow we are going to the theatre to rehearse stuff from the show! I can't wait till we see the Annie poster because it has me as Annie on it! I will show you a picture of it tomorrow! Bye for now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday 18th August

I was Annie all afternoon today. I was Annie all afternoon because yesterday Victoria and Molly were Annie. Today we went to tesco's again and Victoria bought a pencil case like mine but purple! She called it Fuzzles and mines called Fluffy. Fuzzles and Fluffy are best freinds now lol. This is Fuzzles! Victoria's pencil case!

 After rehearsals we went to Wetherspoons for tea. I had chicken nuggets chips and beans. Sadly today we had to move to the Travel Lodge because our accommodation wasn't booked for tonight. Going to Bradford tomorrow! So looking forward to seeing the appartment and the theatre! This week in London has been great! Catch up for more information about Bradford! Thank you! xxx

Sunday 15th August

Today was a great day!! 1. Because there were no rehearsals! 2. We went out!! 3. We did really cool stuff! First we went on the tube. Molly and her mum were going shopping and mine and Victoria's family went on a special day out! When we got off the tube we saw the largest building in the whole of England! It was huge! Here is a picture of us standing by the building. Were not actually that tall haha!

Then we made our way to this boat ride we wanted to go on. On our walk we saw a fountain! Some little kids were playing in it and getting really wet! Then suddenly Victoria's dad ran straight threw the fountain! He was soaked! We all started to laugh. Here is a picture of me and Victoria by the fountain.

Then we got to the boat. It was lovely! The sun was shinning really brightly! Whilst we were on the boat the man gave us a tour around London. This was very interesting! I loved the boat ride so much!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to the 02 place! It was amazing! It had so much stuff in it! First we went to a music museum! It was very interesting and it showed us loads of stuff like music from the past! It also showed the real costume that Freddie Mercury wore! I was like "WOW!!!" Also in the museum we got to play some instruments and try them out!!!!!! Then after that we went to look around. We saw these big hampster balls on the water! Some kids were in them and you cant get wet in there atall! Me and Victoria REALLY wanted to go on this! So we did! We queued for quite a while! But it was worth it! We went in them and it was one of the funnest things ever! I recommend them! Here is a picture of us in the ball!!!

Then we went to a lovely restrurant and I had fish and chips! It was my dads birthday and the chefs all sung happy birthday. It was really funny to watch. Then after that we had to go home. What a great day we had!! I hope next week will be even better!! Bye xxx

Saturday 14th August

Today was a great day because mine and Victoria's dad came to watch the rehearsals and stayed over night! I couldn't wait to see my dad! Today our director wasn't here. So our dance captain had to go through it instead. She went through 'Gonna Like It Here!' which is one of my favourite songs out of Annie! She went through the lift because the boys were struggling to pick the Annie's up. I enjoyed this alot because it is really high and really fun. At lunch time we went to tesco. I bought a really cute pink fluffy pencil case. I named it fluff, (which was a bit wierd!) Here is a picture of fluff!

The weather today was horrible!!! Pouring with rain!! On the way back from rehearsals we had to walk in the pouring rain! Luckily we had rain coats! Today Victoria tried on Su Pollards glasses! She said: “I couldn’t see in them because the lenses were too big!”.  Finally Molly gets to sleep with us tonight because we didn’t have anough bedding. She can sleep with us because we have got this blow up bed thing, but the size of a real double bed! So were happy that they can sleep with us now!!

August 11th Wednesday

Went to rehursals today. Rodger (the director) was very pleased with us today. He was pleased because we picked every thing up straight away. He was so pleased that he sent us home 1 hour and 5 mintues earlier!!! Everyone was so happy!! I got used alot today too. There is a new song in that Mr. Warbucks sings. I have no idea what it’s called. It is a slow song. They have added some more bits in and changed where Miss Hannigan pulls me because it hurt last year. Last year they pulled me and this year they just grab me. So It’s a lot better now.

The reahursals were not as boring today because they went threw the dance to I think I’m gonna like it here! It is an amazing dance and I love it because Annie gets to be picked up really high sideways above peoples heads. Its really really fun. I got really tired near the end because they kept using me because I did it last year. My feet hert, but I had to cope with it. The rehursals are very tiring and I’m sure the tour will be too. But we will get use to it once we get going probally. Well, I did last year.

Tuesday 10th August

The apartment is sooooo nice! It has a balcony in the living room and the 2 bedrooms!! It has an amazing garden!!! It’s huge! Me and my mum sleep in one room with serrate beds and Victoria and her mum share the double bed with an on sweet.

Dear Diary

I am at the rehearsals now and I am very bored indeed! I am bored because the annies were only needed once. So most of the time I have been sitting here doing... NOTHING! But I have had an amazing day with the annies! We went out for a walk and it was lovely and sunny! I cant wait to see where were staying! I will tell you about it later.

London 9th August 2010

I woke up at 6:10, which was hard! I said goodbye to my little doggie, lady and my dad. I will miss them so much. I got on the train. I had to go to London and it was two hours away on train. Which is not long compaired to the other places iv’e been to. I arrived at the taxi place and we got a taxi to the reahursal place. It was a lovely sunny day! I got out the taxi and the one of the annies were there, molly! She had had a hair cut and she looked so different then she used to because she had long hair. Then we went in the reahursal place and Victoria (the other annie) was there. There were lots of new faces around and ones from last year to such as: Su pollard and David Mc Alister.

These are the Annie's.
