I think that's all you need to know about me here is my schedule for the day you will be living as me.

My schedule for Thursday.

Wake up at approximately 7:45 around that time at least. Hop out of bed and go to the bathroom.  After you wash your hands next door in the bathroom make your way down the hallway into the lounge sit on the left side of the couch, watch television for 5 minutes then get up and have breakfast. Usually I have toast for breakfast but I also sometimes have milo duo cereal or pancakes and smoothies on the weekends or I don't eat at all. Then go to your room and put on your Clevedon school uniform. Then progress in to the bathroom , brush your teeth, wash your face and tie your hair in a ponytail. Wait for the rest of your family to get ready by playing on your phone or iPad. Then hop in the car and drive to school. Live a normal day at school listen to the teacher. After school pick up my brother he will walk to you and hop in your car go home and get your soccer stuff and hop in the car participate in soccer. Come home and have a shower then go to bed.

Yours sincerely

How to be me

How to be me

My alarm will go at 6:30am but I usually stay in bed for another 10 minutes, my Mum has work on Tuesdays and Thursdays which means I have to wake up at 6:00. I usually get out of bed and go say good morning to my parents and their room the last one on the left from my room. Then I get dressed into my school uniform which is in the top draw of my bedside table, there will be a blue top with Clevedon School on it and my school shorts that are black-grey. On my bedside table there is a brown box lift up the top and that is where my earrings are put the little silver deer ones in.

Walk down that hall and there will be a coner cabinet next to the sink in there will be a breakfast bowl then go to the last cabinet and on the bottom will be some special K and cat food, feed the cat his bowl in by the litter box then put a little bit of cereal in the bowl and in it is a cold morning I often like to put milk in a glass which in in the cupboard next to the fridge which is where the milk is. Our microwave is on top on the grey small freezer sit down at the table and eat breakfast and when you are done but the bowl and spoon in the dishwasher.

After breakfast go the the bathroom and brush your teeth my tooth brunch in the green one in the cup. After you have brushed your teeth in the bottom left draw is my brush put your hair in a high ponytail. When you are done go outside and feed the chickens there food in in the sleepout then go into the barn and get two slices of hay and feed the horses that are in the front paddock. Now it will be 8:00 and Dad will take you to school.

When you get to school there will probably be to girls screaming and running at you the one with the apricot white hair is Nina and the blonde one is Ella and Anika has brown she will probably be oblivious to what is happening and then when she sees you she will probably try and jump on your back. I am in room 2 when you come in the door put your bag next to Nina’s her bag looks like mine but she has white leaves on hers. In the front of the class there are three gray desks sit on the one furthest away from the back.

When school in over go to the big tree with the blue bench around it my mum will be sitting there and you will go home and ride after that eat dinner and go to bed and that is how to be me for a day.

Dear Spy....

How to impersonate Pixie

Dear spy,

You have been given an assignment to impersonate me on Tuesday the twentieth of March. In this letter you will find a list of instructions of how to be me. 

Firstly you should wake up early, from around six thirty to seven and jump into my mums room down the hall from the room my brother and I share. Today is my birthday and I am turning eleven and hopefully mum would have stored my presents in her room. Once Mum, my brother Charlie and I are in the bed we will start opening presents. Don’t forget to say thank you!

After opening my presents we will all eat pancakes on the table in between the kitchen and the living room for breakfast. Mum would have made the mixture either yesterday or earlier today. Once we have eaten all the pancakes we can fit, I will wash my plate and put it in the dishwasher. Now I need to brush my teeth in the bathroom. I have an electric, blue toothbrush.

I will probably still have my Harry Potter pyjamas on so I should get dressed. You will find my school shorts and blue top on my chest of draws, my top should have three badges pinned on it and be size twelve. You will find my iPad charging in mum’s room, put my iPad in my orange and black school bag. ( Make sure it has a unicorn keyring because Charlie and I have the same bag. )

Now I am nearly ready to go to school but first I have to do my jobs. You will find a purple bowl next to the oven. Pick this bowl up and carry it while you walk on the brick path outside the house, before you reach the arch turn left and you’ll find a gate. Go through the gate and pour all the compost in the purple bowl into the black bin. Then return to the house. Next you want to fill up the drink bottles, they will both be next to the sink. Ask mum if she has washed them before you fill them up! Once you’ve filled up both drink bottles, put one on the breakfast table and one in my bag.

We will soon be going to school, we go to Clevedon School. We will probable drive but we might walk. Once you’re at school go into room 2, my teacher is miss Thomas. Take your iPad and your drink bottle out of the bag and put them in a free space at the green and orange table. Then put your bag in a cubby. Next go and grab both of pencil cases and ruler from my toe tray. Mine is near the back of the room and has my name on it. Then wait for the 9:00 bell to ring.

During school spend a lot of time with Mackenzie ( she’s in room 2 too ) also make sure that it’s Mackenzie with glasses. When the three a clock bell goes, go out the gate you entered in after being dismissed. Turn right at the gate and keep walking, you should see the silver Volvo parked. If it’s not just wait. 

Once you’re home change into shorts and a T - shirt. At home do your violin practise ( grade 2 ) and also do some Mathletics. Once this is done read a book until dinner.

When it’s dinner time fill up three glasses of water and put them on the table. Don’t forget to say thank you to mum for a delicious dinner. When you eat eat slowly. DO NOT talk with your mouthful because then you will have to do all the dishes. Once dinner is finished you and Charlie need to do the dishes. When this is finished brush your teeth with the same toothbrush that you used earlier on. Then wait at the front door with the pyjamas in your hand. I will arrive at around 8:30 pm. Give me my pyjamas and its mission accomplished!

Thankyou for doing this assignment spy, it was very generous of you to agree.

Kind regards, Pixie

P.S. after reading this letter please burn it so that no one will ever find out.
