The tree is still not quite up the saplin, Mainly due to the stupid branches stopping it, now the branches have been fully removed. The tree is above the branches and almost horizontal.

Benniboy was sliding down the tree, and was muggled. We were then muggle by the old lady and her 2 dogs, while we were descending from the saplin for lunch.

Later we picked up nh, his fee was £2. Benniboy got 2 more fence planks, we collected the strong stick and took them to the treehouse. We placed the stick in the original position. Then Alastair Gray jumped up and grabbed it, Benniboy was standing on it and nh was hanging on it, it snapped. The strong stick was now too short to be placed in it's good position. However, we managed to make it into 2 luxury steps. We hammered them in, so muggles won't be taking them down. Nh then climbed to the top of the Treehouse and it started to rain, Ali G made a harness swing out of one of the new luxury steps, the higher up step. Benniboy climbed half way and past the 2 fence panels to Nh before hammering a final nail into the higher luxury step to secure it so it wouldn't snap.


We then found a tree that would fit as a crossbar for the wembley goal, using one extra large nail and a large wire nail.

We then tested the new crossbar. We played a friendly game of nightime football. Skill was needed in this game, as it was very hard to see the ball. Ali G won, seems he plays better in darkness.

The football scores were:

Nick 3 - 1 Ben
Ali G 2 - 1 Ben
Ali G 2 - 0 Nick
