“Let me clean the bath, Mum!” I grabbed the Ajax and Mum’s jaw dropped a mile.

“Thank you Kenny,” she said, trying to act like it was the most normal thing in the world for me to offer to clean the bath after Molly the Monster. (I don’t think so!)

Mind you, Mum wasn’t the only one surprised at me lately. Believe it or not, in the last two days, I had sorted laundry, tidied Molly’s side of the bedside table (even though Molly throws away anything of mine that goes on to her side) and cleaned her yucky hairbrush.

How else was I supposed to collect bits of Molly’s horrible grunge for my witchy spell? But even a magical person has limits. When I had to fish out a bit of her horrible toenail from the bath, I almost threw up.

Molly the Monster had taken to having long, private baths ever since I gave her Robin’s message about Chess Club. She didn’t fancy him (yet!) but even a nerd showing interest in you is better than no one. So with Saturday looming, my gruesome sister was probably trying to decide which club she’d go to – swimming or chess. The suspense was killing me!

But that wasn’t the only thing looming. Hallowe’en was next week. The thing was, we’d got fab stuff planned for our Hallowe’en sleepover, but so far we had nowhere to have it.

Every parent had said a big fat “No”.

See, the ugly rumour that our Sleepover Club was ‘trouble’ had spread. Jilly’s mum was friendly with Lyndz’s mum and the two of them had a real downer on us (all Silly Jilly’s doing, of course). They were forever on the phone, complaining about things the gang got up to at sleepovers. And as soon as the other mums got wind of this, they started being mardy about sleepovers too.

True, with all my cleaning, my mum was definitely softening… But there was no way she’d go back on her word to ban sleepovers at our house. Not yet, anyway. When even Mrs Thomas gave a weak excuse, things looked desperate.

So the Sleepover Club had a conference call.

A conference call is where phone lines are linked up so different people can speak together at the same time. Here’s how it works with our gang.

We’ve all got mobiles now, amazingly. First, I call Frankie on our home phone. Next, Frankie answers me and calls Lyndz on her mobile. Then Lyndz answers on her home phone and calls Fliss on her mobile. Fliss answers on her mobile and calls Rosie at home. Finally Rosie calls my mobile on her mobile. Hey presto! We’re linked in a big circle! We each hold a home phone at one ear and a mobile at the other and we talk! It’s dead cool!

“We’ve got to stop that Jilly coming over to your house,” said Frankie into both her phones. “She’s winding all the mums up.”

“Yeah,” Lyndz and I said together.

“Lyndz, ask Fliss how her campaign to get Robin Hughes interested in Molly is going.
