Hi everyone! I’m Suzy Puttock, and I’m back in the third book in the Suzy P series, Suzy P, Forever Me. And, guess what, I’ve put my foot in it yet again… because I’ve made a promise I can’t keep. Kind of a big promise. To my entire school!
Why, oh why, did I say The Drifting would be performing at the Collinsbrooke fundraiser? As if trying to sort out that mess wasn’t enough, I also need to make sure Dad’s birthday bash isn’t a total disaster – especially as he’s already showing signs of a mid-life crisis…
Even with my best mates helping out, will I be able to pull off TWO parties of a lifetime?
It’s certainly not going to be easy…
Somehow these things just keep happening to me – if you’ve ever read the other Suzy P books you’ll understand. So here, without further ado, are some lessons I’ve learned in my life, which will hopefully stop you embarrassing yourself as much as I do on a daily basis. Cringe.
1. Think before you speak. Always engage brain before mouth. Don’t, for example, promise world famous bands at your school party, when it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to make it happen. That would be a seriously stupid thing to do.
2. Never cartwheel near a canal.
3. Don’t run in public. Especially near football players – you could fall over, pull someone’s shorts down, and reveal their Bart Simpson pants to the whole school.
4. Avoid camping holidays like the plague.
5. Always make sure you’re fully dressed when a fire alarm goes off.
6. No good can come of a date in a seafood restaurant.
7. A good hair serum is a must if you have out-of-control-wild curly hair. This may take some time to find
8. Never been seen in public in a bridesmaid’s dress.
9. Avoid mean girls with camera phones.
10. Most problems can be helped with hot chocolate with marshmallows. And/or cake.
