Aug 1 (Tues)
Before dinner went to see Susan Greenwood - boring - didn't know what to talk about. Her Auntie Mary was there. She said 'Are you courting?' Makes you sick!! After dinner went to E's with Ju. It was dead posh. Felt uncomfy. Her mum didn't speak to us or anything. Poor E.

Hell's Bells, forgot about Lorette's birthday. Never mind. Done nothing spectacular today. Made some ice-cream - coffee and chocolate - lovely. Ju came and we went to town to buy a record for her. Nice disc called 'Popcorn'. Instrumental. Decided to call at Oxfam shop tomorrow to ask if help is needed. We might join Oxfam group. Good.
Aug 3 (Thurs)
Got up abut 9.30 - had shower, washed hair, then tidied bedroom a bit. Taped Eine Kleine Nacht Music - no good though. Finished Lord of the Rings - made me cry, lovely ending. Went with Ju to Oxfam shop. Got to go back tomorrow to see the 'boss'. Dying to work there. Seems fairly busy. Julie came back. Had nice talk. I like my bedroom. MY bedroom.
Aug 4
Oh another boring old day - nothing v. spectacular. Went to 'Asda' this morning with mum. Hated nearly every minute of it - so crowded, everybody with trollies. Still no letter from Lorette - annoyed. After dinner went with Ju to Oxfam shop. She only took our names and addresses. Feel as though we haven't got anywhere. Crocheted.
Aug 5 (Sat)
Oh, I'm so bored with everything! Done nothing hardly in morning. In afternoon went to Ju's shop then to their house.Did nothing. Didn't know whether to get Shirley a birthday present or not. Can't really afford it, though. Ju's mum and dad went out. Expected some lads (JR & co) to come round. Didn't.
Aug 6 (Sun)
Boring day. Helped Ju (stayed night) to mow lawn and re-establish an old falling to bits table. Tiring work. We didn't get up till late so it was about 4 o'clock when we finished. Came home and taped some records. Wish life was more exciting - I've got to go out to life, not expect it to come in to me though.
Aug 7
What did I do today? Oh, I know. This morning I was energetic and vacuumed for mum. Also done a lot of Sandra's dress. Norma made dinner - lovely flan with bacon, egg, cheese and onions. After dinner I drew some pictures of Winnie the Pooh for E and generally tidies bedroom out. Considered re-arranging furniture in room ie turning bed round* - what else!!!?
Aug 8
Done quite a lot today - but nothing very exciting happened. Done a lot of tidying up, crocheting etc. Moved bed round. Makes bedroom look a lot different. If I like it I'll have to change all my posters and pics round (groan). Never mind. Not seen Julie today. Saw terrific film with Bob Hope called 'Cat and Canary' dead frightening.
Aug 9
Same as yesterday really - done a lot of nothing outstanding. Trying to fill all my days a bit more now though. Done nails and underarms. Had shower. Hair. Did posters on wall (swapped them over). Dad was in a funny mood. Mum might be looking after Rebecca during the day - God help us, I can't stand that child.
*Commentary
Aug 7 and 8 - of all my diary entries so far this has made me laugh the most. My bedroom was TINY. It only had a bed in it, and a kind of built-in cupboard that was about 12" deep and 3 feet wide. So pondering whether to re-arrange my furniture would have meant, probably, turning the bed round (putting the head where the foot was ) and, possibly, moving it 3 feet across to the other wall. I must have been bored if this was how I occupied myself!
