1st June (Thurs)
Well, we set off on our hike. Had fun, it wasn't very far to the first Youth Hostel, Marsden. But my god - when we got there it was a right dump! Rats, draughts, no proper loo. Stupid fella called Jim wanted us to play cricket. (I did show myself up!) Heard that we were going to have 'male company' so we all dolled ourselves up - what a laugh when they turned out to be 5 old men!!
2nd June (Fri)
2nd day of hike. Made our way to Crowden Youth Hostel. The walk was beautiful in some places - waterfalls, lots of sheep. lambs and water coming from springs that you could actually drink!! I was thrilled about that. Last part of walk was awful though. We were soaked and it was cold and windy on top of that great hill and the road went on and on for ever. Crowden YH is beautiful. Lots of nice German people there, including some nice-looking lads who we were going to play cards with but they had to go to bed.
3rd June
Oh that lad that sat next to me was gorgeous. Why aren't English lads so nice looking and wear such nice clothes? Beautiful pants. Oh, he looked like Sammy McIlroy. Sigh! Finally arrived home. Norma home for a week. Cousins Susan, Christine and Michelle* came.
4th June
Typical Sunday - boring. Back to rotten school tomorrow. Oh - exams on the 14th June.I nearly lost my temper with Norma, but didn't. Oh, Don McLean's such a beautiful singer - sings 'Vincent' (about Van Gogh). Oh that German lad. I wish I'd got off with him in a way (naughty) Haven't done Russian homework for tomorrow.
5th June (Mon)
Found out that E has told P (who thinks she's the greatest) that we went out with boys while at Crowden (German lads of course). Mine's called Jugen (sounds very nice doesn't it?) J's is called Dieter. Don't know about the others. Done a bit of revision - come on buck up Jackie!! Exams are too soon....
6th June
Trying to get down to a lot of revision now. But there seems so much. Went to dentist's (Mr Aron) and he's taken my brace off. I'll have to have some more teeth out though. UGH! E and us and about 8 others were going to go youth hostelling again on July 1st. But me and J have decided not to - can;t afford it. Go August.
7th June
Gosh I seem to be trying so hard at revision but there's still lots to do. Exams start next Wednesday. We've got to prepare a 5 minute topic on 'My Holiday' for Russian exam. Jesus, I'll never live through it. Blimey I'm not half tired. I'm sick of Norma and mum arguing all the time - mum causes them usually. Norma lost one of her lenses at Ian's.
8th June
Done quite a bit of Russian revision tonight. So tired - as usual. 'Tom Chapin' A beautiful fella in a children's programme 'Make a Wish' Also 'Elizabeth R' began - Brilliant. Nice day really. Dropped some big hints to S about Jugen and Dieter (2 German lads we invented). It's fun, but deceitful really. Never mind.
9th June (Fri)
Oh dear - I've been going so well, I don't think I've sulked for 3 or 4 months and them what happens?!! Oh well. J and E were getting on my nerves quite a bit. I don;t like it. Thunder storms yesterday - pretty bad. I guess I'm overdoing the revision a bit - I should have started it earlier.
10th June
Not much to say really - all I've done today is revise Russian!! Done about 2 more rows of Sandra's dress. Started work at about 11.30am (had shower) so I didn't have many breaks and dad keeps saying 'have a rest now' He doesn't realise I've got so much work to do. God, it's so depressing. I now I'll come low down in the Russ exam.
11th June
Did quite a bit of revision - although not as much as I wanted to do. There's so much to do - God! Well, I guess I can only try my best!! Not really very much to say. Oh! Norma phoned vet about Lady making milk and he says we've got to cut her diet by a half. Poor Lady (No more tit-bits for a while)
