Day 20: 11.05am

It's the final day today and time to say goodbye.

I have been busy all weekend selecting my highlights from your contributions. There has been a lot to look at! Mum and Dad have a lot to do to check out all the mini mission answers too. That should keep them busy! But who has won?

Well on one hand its a points victory for Mum, but Dad has been quick to point out that he has more missions completed. I think they are going to be debating this one for a long time. Hopefully not over Christmas Dinner.

See you soon! Michaela x

Day 19: 15.00pm

Who else is playing? I hear you ask?

Well, when you sign in on the website, go to 'The Bickers' drop down menu and under Eve and Isambard you'll find a tab for their friends. You can see who's who. If you add players to your friends list you can check out who has the highest scores. Give it a go. There are only a few days left to find out about each other.

Cheers

Michaela

Day 18: 17.30pm

Hi everyone.

I had to sit down with Mum and Dad today and give them a good talking to. I went through their scores and added them up myself just to make sure they weren't fudging the numbers before we come to the big finale. What did I find? A case of double accounting on both sides. They are both as bad as each other!

But as you can see it doesn't affect who's in the lead one bit. Anyway, I've split them up and told them to go and think about what they've done. Mum's talking to the houseplants and Dad is in the kitchen clattering pans.

Bye for now! Michaela

Day 17: 11.00am

Hi there,

I managed to get back on my blog after Dad messed around with my laptop. He is feeling a bit sore because Mum is so far ahead of him now. There are only a few days left so all you Isambard friends might need to get busy.

I've heard rumours that Mum thinks if she wins she's going to choose our holiday next year. They can never agree where to go. Dad does like his driving tours, whereas Mum does like something a bit more daring. I'm planning on staying here and going to festivals. I wonder when I should tell them?

Later M

Day 13: 17.00pm

Nice to see you again.

Dad says I need to get out more. I look too pale. I wish he wouldn't pat me on the head when he says that. It's so irritating. He's angling for some help round the house but I told him I have an assignment to do.

Mum has all the cleaning products from the house and garage in rows in the kitchen, tutting to herself. How did we get so many? I can't get in there to make a cuppa. I think I'll go out tonight before I get roped into any crazy schemes. It is the weekend, and I do need to get out more afterall!

Later Mx

Day 12: 19.05pm

Hello!

Well, as you can see, the scores are getting bigger and lots of missions are on the go! But that hasn't stopped Dad 'venting' all day. He is very sore about the miserable weather. He started replanting the garden this summer to prepare for the dryer climate. But instead it's been a wash out.

And to make things worse Mum keeps singing. She is talking about giving Dad the night off from cooking one evening. Says she might be getting some inspiration from her friends! Crikey.

See ya! Mxx

Day 11: 11.20am

We are half way there.

And guess what, Mum has taken the lead! By a significant margin too. But Dad's not taking it too hard. He was waving around an abacus type thing at Mum this morning, made from coal and sticks. 'Look at my carbon calculator' he kept saying. *groan*

Has the Mega Mission you planned to do disappeared from your Current Missions? It probably re-set itself after a few days, and hopped back into Extra Missions. Give it another go. Don't forget to check out my Media Mashup to see your videos and pics!

Byeee! Michaela xx

Day 10: 14.30 pm

Hello,

I've been busy updating my Top Ten with my favourites from the Missions so far. Mum very impressed with Benny's eiffel tower and Holsten's nativity scene. And Dad is well impressed with the production quality on Chutney's videos. Title sequences. Wow!

Well, the new Mega Missions are on their way tomorrow and will be running over the weekend to give you plenty of time to try them out. Good luck!

Micheala xx

Day 9: 14.00pm

Mum 'had a word' with me this morning.

'I wonder who is supporting your Dad?' She said. He is creeping ahead, even though I just had to mend his Guilty Pleasures mission. You can add media to it again. But remember if you start an Extra Mission and then leave it without doing anything it will time out after a while. Just so you don't get too many on the go.

Anyway, I told Mum, if more people add pics or videos to a mission, the more people can add each other as friends on the website and compare stats. Check out the 'Your Friends' tab.

Parents, honestly! M x

Day 8: 9.00am

Well it's week 2!

How are you doing? Well the competition between Mum and Dad keeps going back and forth doesn't it? At this stage I can't pick a clear winner. I think they need to up their game a bit. Doing those high scoring missions will make the difference.

They've asked me to let you know that you can do some of their missions on your phone if you want to. Just register your mobile by following the instructions on your profile and presto you are ready to give it a go.

See you soon! Michaela x

Day 7: 23.00pm

Don't know where today went! Will write a bit more on Monday. Mx

Day 6: 18.30pm

Oh my it's chilly out.

Mum went mad when she saw me come in earlier today. 'Where's your coat don't you know it's going to snow today?' But my coat is rubbish and I can't have a new one.

Dad's loving the new Guilty Pleasures and Tips and Tricks videos. Its all about 'yin and yang' he says, with his philosopher's face on. Why are parents so embarrassing? Oh, and I've been asked to tell you, there are some new picture missions in 'Extra Missions' now if you fancy giving those ago. More on the way soon.

Keep it up guys! Love Micheala xx

Day 5: 12.12pm

Just taking some time out of my lunch break to send an update.

Mum was singing away this morning. 'It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it!' Feeling very pleased with herself she is. But you know I think they've forgotten about their day jobs! They both started rushing around talking about deadlines and frantically tapping away at their keyboards after breakfast. And I got an assignment to complete over the weekend. Would you believe it?

It's so windy today. Don't know why I even bothered trying to straighten my hair.

Mxx

Day 4: 17.45pm

Oh dear,

My poor old Dad is feeling a bit glum! He's been out all day raking up leaves in the garden. He can't seem to work out why he's ahead in points but he hasn't got any recent confessions from his gang! I really would like to be able to put some new things in My Top Ten.

Flea wasn't missing afterall. Just hiding in my room. Now my favourite jumper is covered in cat hairs. Nightmare.

Keep checking into Extra Missions for some new high scoring activities. M xxx

Day 3: 11.40am

Nice to see you!

Mum is very excited that people have been trying out her kettle kitty mission. But I don't think our old moggy Flea is too impressed. I can't find him anywhere. But she's got a new plan up her sleeve. There is so much stuff in the dining room I can hardly get in.

Dad keeps whistling and rushing around. He now has a full schedule planned for the days ahead. He's got some new ideas he is eager to try. Keep an eye out!

Keep up the good work everyone. Got to dash M xx

Day 2: 09:10am

How you doing?

I asked Dad for a lift again this morning and he gave in. How weak is he! Managed a whole 3 days without using his car but he's going out for a sneaky drive around town after he drops me off. He feels the 'need for speed'. I think he's had too much coffee.

He's been telling me about his marvelous missions over breakfast. I secretly think he's doing some of these himself to boost his numbers. Mum seems quite chipper to be honest,'Time will tell', she says.

Cheerio xx

Day 1: 17:05pm

Hey there!

Just got back in and Mum and Dad are having a right old row! She's been drawing kittens and leaving them by the kettle. Dad put them in the shredder for the compost, she's fuming! Sabotage she calls it. He looks a bit guilty if you ask me but he's not backing down. Well I'm keeping clear until the dust settles. I'm going to check out what's been happening today.

I hope someone's been busy otherwise it's just going to be me and the folks.What a long three weeks that will be! EEK!

Michaela xx

Day 1: 9:25am

Monday morning, my favourite (not!). Dad's been running around with loads of post-its setting up his 'grand plan'. And he keeps picking up things Mum's left 'lying around' as he calls it. She is furious she insists she knows where everything is until he starts messing around!! It's the usual bedlam here I can tell you. I asked him for a lift to college this morning and he told me to get the bus. It's so unfair! He doesn't normally mind when he's at home. I'm out of here...cu later I hope xxx
