Kong Hong Dollars

Yesterday was a great day for the Bobbins. Firstly, Daddy got me some Kong Hong Dollars and some New Zealand Dollars for my holiday. I like KH$ as you get lots for your 50ps and means you look even richer than in England. The colours are very bright too so it will not feel like I am spending real money - it will be Daddy's money anyway - my money is remaining hidden at home in a fire proof box. In case any burgulars are reading this - Stop reading my blog and stay away from bucket.

Last night Daddy rushed home to watch the Europe Cup game with me. Mr Rooney was brilliant and he scored two goals. After the second goal he slid on his knees. I am going to do that in school tomorrow when I get a question right - maybe not tomorrow then but one day when an easy question comes along.

After the football I had to look after Daddy as he wasn't feeling very well - he said he had the flu but we both know he is just excited that Mummy is coming home tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing Mummy and all the big expensive presents she has bought me in New Yoik.

Holidays are coming!!

I am getting very excited about 3 things at the moment.

Number One - I am off to Kong Hong and New Zealand in only 5 days. This will be the furthest that the Bobbins has ever travelled and I like to see new places - from Daddy's bag. Today Daddy is getting some KH$s so I am looking forward to putting them into bucket tonight.

Number Two - Daddy is meeting up with my favourite Auntie Caroline on Friday. He has told me that there she has got me two presents - one that is so good even Uncle Gary was excited about it. I think that if the present is so good to get someone that old excited then at the age of 3 I may explode with joy!!!

Number Three - Tomorrow, my team, Manchester Utd, are playing in the half-final of the Europe Cup. They are playing a team from Italy and every knows they spend all their time eating pasta and so we will wint easily. Just so long as nobody brings along any chocolate bars - which are Mr Rooney's favourite food. Come on Manchester.

This is a picture of my after coming out for my Auntie Caroline's brithday when I was just one year old. I love my Auntie Caroline and presents.

Another Weekend being 3

My first blog for a few days - I have been giving my big fingers a rest from typing. I know all my fans will be missing me so I will let you know what I have been doing this weekend.

On Friday I was acting as PA Sponge for the day as Daddy was working from home. As usual I was very professional all day - well up until 2pm when Midsommer Murders came on and I forgot to answer Daddy's calls for him.

In the evening, Mummy's new computer arrived - it is also going to be the class computer so Daddy ordered me a big keyboard to go with it so my big fingers didnt stop me typing. I wish Daddy hadn't got the new keyboard as now I have no excuse to miss computer class.

Then when Daddy got home from the gym we watched the snooker together. Mummy doesnt like snooker so Daddy only watches it when shes not around. The Bobbins wishes Mummy was around more - the yellow ball gets too few points for Bobbins to like snooker.

On Saturday, Daddy went to a wedding so the Boys had a party in the back garden. Professor Bonkers wanted to give us a lesson on wildlife, but we all ran off except for Gary who is too slow so he had to stay behind. In the evening, Donkey put the TV on as we wanted to see how our teams had done. I was a little disappointed that my team Manchester Utd only managed a draw against Middlesborough. Mr Ronaldo was not as good as usual. Teddy - West Ham won 1-0.

On Sunday evening Daddy made a bet with Westie Moo and me to see who could build a tower of 50ps the same height as there head. As you can see in the picture - neither of us managed to do it - but look how many 50ps I have. I think that I now have nearly half of all the 50ps in the world. It was a bit unfair of Daddy to do it by head height as I have the biggests head in the world and so would have had to break the world record to win.

Party Time

Last night Daddy was out playing in a pool, so the boys all decided to have a party. We thought that we would take this photo to say hi to Mummy and Teddy. The party is not so good without them - as teddy wasnt here to steal Mummy's red wine. All the boys came to the party- and Professor Bonkers and Donkey went to the theatre together to see Dirty Dancing. They are so much more cultural than the class.

As you can see the boys are all well and class is getting a bit crowded. PQ finds it hard to write sometimes as he has big elbows. The boys all miss Mummy and Teddy.

Tomorrow I am being PA bobbins as Daddy is waiting at home for the new class computer to arrive. I have ordered one with a large K key to help Daddy with his work. I have asked Daddy to buy me a new note pad because my old one is full of PA notes. I have recorded all the €$s that he owes me in it.

Big Foooted Cheryl

I had my fingers crossed that my Mummy's new friend from America was Big-Footed Cheryl who bought my Daddy's special shoes on e-bay. Unfortunately my Mummy told me last night that this isnt true. So I thought that I would put a picture of me on my blog next to Big-Footed Cheryl's parcel hoping she might see it and contact me. I would love to see what else I can sell her - some big socks maybe.

Yesterday Pepsi and me teamed up to support West Ham against my most hated team - Chelski. Unfortunately my lucky Manchester Utd flag did not work and Chelski won. I think that my flag is only lucky when Manchester United are playing.

Tomorrow night Daddy is out so Bobbins and the boys are going to have a party. I have organised the SBI Detects Party team (Pigeon and Tony) to sort out all the refreshments and arrangements. We decided to have a party to get in practice for my 4th birthday on the 2nd June. This is also a party to wish me Bomb Voyage on my trip to New Zealand. I am a bit worried about the bomb but Donkey says it means Good luck in France. The French are very strange. Gary is quite frightened of the french as apparently one of his cousins was eaten by one.

Upside Down Cake

Yesterday in school Donkey was teaching us about New Zealand - where I am off to on holiday in 10 days with my Mummy and Daddy.

Donkey told us that New Zealand was a country made up of two islands and that is on the other side of the world. Donkey held up a ball and showed us what this meant. I'll be standing on my head for 2 weeks - so Pepsi and Westie and I thought that I should get some practice in. They kept me company whilst I did that.

In New Zealand (there is no Old Zealand - that was a mistake yesterday) there are lots of sheep and lambs. Donkey also said all of the people wear Wellington boots and eat upside down cake. Well thats what I think he said because I was arguing at the time with Pepsi who said the sheep will be better than me at bouncing as they are wolly jumpers. I said I am the best at bouncing and Pepsi said it was a joke. I told him bouncing is not a joking subject.

I am really looking forward to my holiday with Mummy and Daddy.

My Friend Pigeon

Here is a picure of my Friend Pigeon. He is from the East End and loves to borrow my Burberry Hat.

Yesterday Pigeon was telling us all about being able to fly and how easy it is. I was very impressed as I didnt realise that Pigeon had an aeroplane.

Pigeon is the 4th cleverest in the class, well third cleverest at the moment as Teddy is in America. Donkey often asks the more cleverer of the boys to tell us interesting things to help us learn.

Last night Daddy and the Bobbins, we watched a bit of TV and Daddy did his ironing. It really is very exciting to be spending so much time with Daddy. I can't wait for Mummy to come home. I was also getting my schoolbooks ready as we have a big lesson tomorrow about New Zealand - as I am going there soon so Donkey thought I should learn something about it. I hope that its better than Old Zealand.

Fun in the Sun

Yesterday the sun was shining very hard and it was very hot in the house so some of the boys and me decided to go and sit in the garden when Daddy was out.

We were all sitting peacefully in the sun, when Pepsi heard the Ice Cream Van's song. Now if there is one thing that Pepsi loves it is ice cream, covered in chocolate cake, with sweets and cream on the top. But in the absence of this, an ice cream would hit the spot.

Last time Pepsi scared some of the other school children by the van as he was running so fast and didnt want to wait for his ice cream. So Pepsi has been banned from the van. So he asked Pigeon to go and get him one. Pigeon got him a 99 with two flakes and he was very happpy and fell asleep in the sun and got a little more pink.

In the evening Daddy came home and we watched Cold Case together - which is a bit like Criminal Minds - only set in the past and the present at the same time. I had lots of questions for Daddy like "Whos that?" and "Whos that?" and "Whos that?" and other ones like "Who is she?", "Whys she so old now?". After about 3o minutes of the program and my questions Daddy said "Right - we are never watching that again". The series must be all over already - which is a shame as I liked it even if it was a little hard to understand.

The Grand National

Yesterday was one of my favourite days of the year - Grand National day. This is the day when lots of horses meet up to find out who is the best at bouncing and the fatest runner. I told Pepsi to enter as he can run at 740 mph and is the second best at bouncing in the class. But Pepsi is not allowed to enter - not even if he dressed up as a horse.

On Grand National Day I tell Daddy the name of two horses that I think will win the race and if they win Daddy gives me a lot of money. Last year I got £55 for doing this. So I was really looking forward to the race this year.

This year I thought that either Monkerhostin or Ppint Barrrow would win or for maximum money both of them. Maybe they would hold hooves when they crossed the line. Unfortunately this year Point Barrow fell over at the first fence and then Monkerhostin refused to jump at the fifth fence. I am not allowed to refuse to do things so I dont thing the horse should have done this - especially when it cost the Bobbins money. Bad horses.

But my team Manchester United are in the FA cup final. The flag that my Daddy got me for Easter is a very good luck charm. But not for horses.

Green Fingered Bobbins

Yesterday the weather was so nice that I sat in the garden for the day. As you can see the small gardening project that the SBI Detects team took on for Mummy and Daddy is going very well. The Two Lips and Pamsys are growing very well. Professor Bonkers our nature teacher has been helping us name the flowers and learn about all the insects that will be visiting them. The Bobbins isnt very keen on insects - they might make me dirty or bite me - so I think I am going to get Daddy to build a wall aorund my flowers to stop them getting in.

Last night Daddy had chinese food for dinner which he never has when Mummy is home as she doesnt like it. I prefer when Daddy has Chinese food to Indian food as it doesnt make Daddy's bottom smell so bad.

The Grand National is on tomorrow. The Bobbins has money on two horses - Point Barrow and Monkhostin. Come on horses - Bucket needs the money.

Mr Loaf

Yesterday my Mummy was going to go and see Mr Loaf in H-America. But when she got there she found out Mr Loaf was not performing - maybe they had not made the doors wider to allow him to get into the concert.

The Bobbins is very upset for Mummy as I know she was really looking forward to seeing him. So I thought I would take a photo of me with Mummy's best Meatloaf item - a signed record. It has BBQ Rib sauce all over it so we know it is authentic as he was having a snack at the time.

Last night Daddy had more friends over so the Bobbins had to stay in his room again. I am going to ban Daddy from having friends over - we need Mummy back to scare them away. When I am in my room Donkey can see if I am doing my homework - so I have to at least pretend to do it. But then my excuse the next day that Daddy told me I didnt need to do it means I end up on the Naughty step. Bad Daddy.

Seven Heaven

My Daddy is the best Daddy in the world. Last night I opened my Easter present- which as you can see is a giant Manchester Utd flag. The badge is very big as it is as big as my very big head.

The flag arrived just in time for the very important game last night. Mr Ronaldo and Mr Rooney were the best and Manchester United scored 7 goals. I was a bit worried that if they scored more i wouldnt be able to keep count - I only have 8 fingers. As it was I had to uncross two of them to keep score. I was hoping that we could use some of those goals when we need them but my Daddy explained that it doesnt really work like that. I am writing a letter to Mr Blair to ask if Manchester Utd can save 2 goals for playing Chelski - as Daddy calls them. If he can get some lady a holiday, a nice new suit, some table tennis and some money then I am sure he can help me.

Last night Daddy had tuna for dinner. Daddy says that we should all eat as much tuna as possible as it will run our soon. I didnt realise Tuna had feet and could run anywhere. Everyday I learn something from my Daddy.

Easter Parade

Easter is a time for eggs and for your family, so I thought that I would include a picture of me with country cousin Sponge. He is from near Bristol and lives on a farm. He is a more brown colour because there is less water in the countryside and everyone there has to wash in a pond.

My easter was ok. Daddy didnt spend much time with the Bobbins as he had his friends to stay. So the Bobbins had fun with the rest of the Boys. e played nicely together and worked on a surprise for Mummy.

Daddy was a bit unhappy that Mr Woods didnt win the golf. Mr Woods is Daddy's biggest hero and he gets paid more if he shouts loudly for him. I was alos a bit sad because my team lost at the weekend and the team that Daddy calls "The Russians" - though none of them seem to move as fast as Pepsi - won again. Daddy was angry too but that was only because he loves the Bobbins very much and so helps him support his team.

Daddy is coming home early tonight to help the Bobbins open his Easter present and to watch Bobbins' team beat the Romans. Big nosed idiots - the Romans - not Daddy.

Easter Weekend

This weekend my Daddy has had his friend Mr Matthews to stay so the Bobbins has had to entertain himself.

This is a photo of me, Paddy and PQ playing together. We were playing hide and seek - but PQ is too big to hide and my head is too big too so Paddy kept winning.

Last night Daddy came to bed late and smelt like Mummy does when she has been out for a night with her friends - like she had showered in gin my Daddy says.

I will return to my Blogging when Daddy has more time to help me type the letters other than K - which I am good at pressing.

Love you Mummy.

Present Search

Today the SBI Detects Team decided to do some detecting whilst Daddy was at work. I set the boys the task of finding my Easter Present from Daddy. Mr Mooney found the present very quickly - Daddy had hidden the present in the present drawer where Daddy always hides the presents. I think he thinks that it is too high for the Bobbins to get to - but the Bobbins can stand on Westies back and see in.

We were trying to work out what the present was. I thought that it might be a boat - but Pigeon said that it wasnt the right shape for a boat. I said we should see if it floats - but then Pepsi said Daddy might notice if all the paper is wet.

It is Easter Friday tomorrow - that was the day when Jesus had fish and chips for tea and got an Easter Egg. At least I think that is what Donkey taught us - I couldnt hear very well because I was on the Naughty step for not listening. How can I listen if I can't hear from the naughty step. Bad Donkey.

Ginger Terror

Yesterday was a good and a bad day for the Bobbins.

Good - Daddy put 4 50ps into Sheepy bank so I took a picture of Sheepy Bank and me to celebrate. Sheepy Bank now has so many 50ps in him that he can barely be lifted. One day I will have all the 50ps in the world. Daddy was saying that I should use the money to help pay for phone calls to Mummy while she is away. I pretended to fall asleep so that Daddy couldnt continue with his silly suggestions.

Bad - 1. Mummy is still in H-America. 2. My team Manchester United lost in the Europe Cup as Mummy calls it. Mr Scholes got to yellow cards - which I like as yellow is my favourite colour - but Mr Ferguson didnt seem so happy. My Daddy shouted "Stupid Ginger Bar Stad". I don't know what it means but Daddy didnt look happy either. Maybe he and Mr Ferguson both dont like yellow - but I know my Daddy does. so I was confused. Then Mr Rooney scored and Daddy and I jumped around. But then the Red team from Ipaly scored and I had to stop bouncing. Daddy said not to worry cos we could beat them in the second leg. Maybe that is why Mr Ferguson was angry - because Manchester United were only playing with one leg.

SBI Detects detects a meeting

Last night my Daddy was out watching the football at Mr Carrot's house so I decided to have a meeting of SBI Detects.

SBI Detects is the detective agency that I run. I have put up a picture of me, Basil Business and my chief security officer Maurice Chestnut. The picture has been blurred and we are wearing dark glasses to keep our identities a secret.

SBI Detects performs all detective duties from protecting the Prime Minister on his visits to Mile End and monitoring fast forwarding on the TV to tripping over bank robbers and hiding important things - Special Agent Penguin - a master of disguise - is especially good at this.

The most important thing we had to talk about last night was how we will get paid. At the moment we get paid €$60 for each task SBI Detects performs. Maurice Chestnut wants to change payment to Cake as he loves Cake. Then I said what happens if we did lots of jobs at once - all the cake would go stale. Maurice Chesnut agreed so we are still taking €$ and using that to buy cake.

Bobbins and H-America

Yesterday in Donkey School we learnt all about the country where Mummy has gone to live- H-America. As I am 1/4 H-American Donkey told me to tell the class all I know about America.

I told the class that in H-America there is a place like heaven called DisneyLand. This is where Mr Lightyear lives. It is the best place in the world and it is the Bobbins' biggest dream to go there one day. Well its my second biggest dream - just after school just being Bouncing lessons and no maths.

Donkey asked me to name the President of H-America. I was very excited as I knew it was Mr Tree.

Then Donkey told us about New York - Mummy's new home. I told Donkey it was pronounced New Yoik and that it smells like an apple and you have to say it twice and kick your legs up. Donkey gave me the Naughty Step Warning.

He told us Mummy is staying in Hurlem. I was a bit confused as that is what Teddy says when we are eating sweets at the back of the class and Donkey is coming to investigate. We collect the sweets from behind the sofa when Donkey has gone. So when Donkey said Hurlem - I threw my sweets but Donkey saw. I missed finding out about the rest of America because I was thinking about what I had done on the naughty step.

The picuture isof my friend Fergal. He wanted to say hi to Mummy and that we miss her.

Lost and Scared

Last night I watched Lost with my Daddy. I took notes so that I could tell my Mummy what happened as she doesnt have a television in H-America.

I get a bit confused when I watch and I didnt want to ask my Daddy as this is an important job for the Bobbins. This is what happened.

The girl who crashed in the plane with everybody but nobody had seen till this year is an actress. Then she fell over and died. Mr Sawyer said "Who is she?" Daddy said "Nobody knows" so I had to explain she was the actress in the bit before. Daddy's so slow.

Then two more people died and I was asking Daddy if Mr Barnaby would be coming soon to help, but Daddy said no. Don't know why as Mr Barnaby is the best detective and I would even let him join SBI Detects.

As I have found every week I started to get a bit confused. Some people had gone to Disneyland forever (thats where my Daddy says you go when you die) and then they were back. Maybe they had forgotten their swimming trunks. Then someone has some diamands - and Snuffy is sad!! CRUMBLES!!! Cover eyes time. As you can see in my pciture. I seem to end up like this after every episode of Lost - most of the time because I cant believe I found out nothing again this week.

Then Daddy and I went to bed and Daddy read his book because we couldnt have our usual chat with Mummy. Poor Bobbins - I dont like reading so I hid the book Daddy gave me to read in the washing basket.

Where is Mummy?

It has been a very sad weekend for the Bobbins and Daddy this week - Mummy has left home to move to H-America. Daddy says that it is only for 3 weeks but he told me Marrow was moving to Spain for 3 weeks and he hasnt come back yet.

I was missing my Mummy and my eyes started to rain as you can see in the picture. As I am a Sponge it is very dangerous to mix me with water and so Daddy had to dry me out with the hair-dryer.

Daddy and I have been watching the Everybody Love Raymond telethon. I wish my Mummy was here - so that when Daddy has to explain the jokes to her I understand them too. My favourtie character is Robert because he has the same name as me.

Tonight Daddy is having Roast Lamb for dinner. We are all pleased that its not Pork for dinner as we have to make sure Pepsi stays out of the kitchen.

Daddy and I will be watching Lost later - Mummy has asked me to tell her what happens so I will be watching carefully.

Miss you my Mummy.
