Dear Diary,

Today is mum’s birthday!! We are going outside to have dinner. I can't remember how old mum is which
make me feel kind of guilty.
Spent the whole day decorating the dining room while Mum went out to buy groceries. Hanged some
balloons and bought a cake for Mum with the money I was saving. Mum was very happy seeing my little
surprise. So she decided to take me out to dinner outside. I am hoping she will take me to Takeout or
Madchef but we’ll see.

Bye bye Diary see you tomorrow.
