Dear Chloe.

Hi* How are you!

Im haying a vary relaxing day. I usually work on Eridays, but l'm not working today because Jim and Sarah want me to look after the children next Sunday Theyre going to a rugby match in London with some friends. I don't mind yyorking at weekands. so I agreed to do it. Olhrer and Ellie are really nica children. They're very different. Oliver never stops chattmg! Ellie isn't as talkative as Oliver, but I think shes mora confident.

I rrearly went to the cinema with Daniel (the next-door neighbour) last weekend, but I was late - and then I couldn t buy a ticket because I wasn't old enough to see the film It had an 18 certificate, you see. In the end, I had a pizza in town - on my own!! As I was leawng the restaurant, Daniel phoned me. I explained eirerything. He thought it was really funnyl
