this is so funny, i don't know any 11 year old girls but the fleece blankets thing made me smile. Is it a trend at the moment?

She's also taken to wearing large black rimmed glasses everywhere. Her vision is perfect

She's mad as a box of frogs, and a bit scary, but great fun.

I have a 12 yo DD. Her obsessions are

Fleece blankets
Slime (though it's apparently not cool anymore, so she says she doesn't really like it - despite continuing to buy it)
Pillows
Unicorns (another thing she denies liking and says is for 'kids', but loves really)
Anything with colour change sequins
Youtube - hard to prise her off it
Perfumes/sprays
Avoiding showering/changing clothes if at all possible
Leggings (jeans are the devils work)
Squishies
Pencil cases/stationery
