Tom loves Dude 3 - it is his favourite band. One day Tom goes to the corner shop to buy milk and his Granny slips some extra money in his pocket for him to buy something he wants. He spends ages choosing but then Rock Weekly, his favourite magazine, catches his eye. On the front it says "Dude 3 is coming to town". He buys it and in the end he forgets the milk. Obviously he has an excuse – he says they had run out of milk! Tom is good at thinking up excuses.

Amazingly Tom's dad has got tickets to see Dude 3 but the dog eats them. Luckily Uncle Kevin sells them his own tickets. After the concert Tom goes backstage and the whole band high fives him.

For his homework Tom has to write a holiday diary. He writes a diary about his awful two-day camping holiday (it wasn't meant to be that short but things went wrong!) His dad pitched the tent right next to the stream, it rained a lot and the tent blew away! Then he climbed a tree, a branch broke and he slipped to the ground. Then they came home. Surprisingly he got five merits because his teacher liked his story. Tom's never had five merits before.
