Vanilla's diary-Sweet House (M)

"We're going to open a sweet shop?!" I cried, mouth hanging down just as far as it could possibly go and my eyes rounder than anything in the world. I hugged my mum so tight I think if I hadn't let go, she'd have suffocated! I ran upstairs and pulled out my top drawer. Rummaging about, I finally found my notepad and my special pencil; I found them in my box of chocolates at Surprises are Sweet. Crunching on a Toblerone triangle, I doodled a nice little shop with lemon yellow and pink fabric rain-shelter and a pink and blue sweetie sign hanging down. "Bedtime Vanilla!" mum shouted.

Dear diary,,,

Vanilla, my name, was chosen because they love vanilla and as for my poor sister, Sugar, well, that's her business. I'm writing now because I'm so busy at daytime. Yawn. It's ten now so, night night diary.

Thursday morning,
Gosh! We're in such a rush! Mum said we're going to buy the shop next to us and we're going to be late for the appointment. I'm not in a rush and neither is Sugar, so mum's shouting. Urgh! But anyway, I'm used to getting shouted at and I'm on cloud nine that we're going to start a shop!

Afternoon,
We had, well me and my best sister ever Sugar, had banana pancake and a can (shared) of C2 coke. Although Sugar is already 15 and could easily just ignore me, she doesn't. She stands up for me even if she knows she'll get told off as well. I stand up for her as well so we make a perfect team. We've bought the shop and mum's baking lollies while she left us, the SugarVanilla team to make toffee/chocolate apples. Gran came earlier and she's helping make homemade marshmallows. Sweet smells are fillin' the air...

Midnight,
Sugar saved some of the sweets which mum gave her to taste-test (she didn't give me some because I was busy designing the labels and not helping out by making toffee/chocolate apples with Sugar) so now we're having a midnight feast, I mean midnight taste-test. Oh, my tummy! Zzzzzz...

Friday morning,
Hi diary! This is great! We are now decorating the shop and they've bought a lemon-yellow and pink striped fabric for the rain-shelter. They also bought me a large cream coloured card and I'm drawing a multi-colour house made from sweets as our logo. Underneath, in a pink felt-tip, I wrote our slogan- 'Treat yourself to a Sweet House'-and then picked up the scissors. Once I'd cut out the picture(don't worry, I didn't cut the slogan separately) leaving a 30cm space of white as the border so there was still white all around it, I stood back to admire my hard work. My job was done so now I have to go meet the others(if anyone else finished) at the café.

Friday lunch,
Everyone else hasn't finished and they suggested we have lunch and go back to our house and wait for them there. Me and Sugar-because she got to the café at the same time as me-had a burger, fries and Pepsi. Then, we went home to take forty winks.

Just saying...
The next Thursday,
The shop is sweet!
We have everything done:
