So what DID happen in 2007? Ella first.

Ella was ten years old on 6th Dec 2007, and she was given a rat called Mitch as a present. A week later, young Mitch gave her nine surprise extra presents - baby rats. Unfortunately, Mitch killed one "accidentally", so we are down to "only" eight. They are now a month old and if anyone wants to give one a home, please email now. Ella is in 4th class of primary school (called national school in Ireland) so she has two more years to go after this year, then on to secondary school.
Blah blah school reports blah blah extra-curricular activities blah blah blah holidays blah blah sleep overs blah. As Ella says, that's enough about her.
