Aug 10th (Thur)
Got up early. Vacuumed, crocheted. Brushed dog etc. Phoned Ju. After dinner went into town with Julie. We were both bored stiff. Got back home and phoned CL. Arranged to go swimming and go to Cats Whiskers on Sunday. Looking forward to it. Strange thing happened. Walked Ju to bus-stop. Coming back a lad stopped to stroke Lady. I feel a bit guilty 'cos it appeared that I pulled her away from him - I didn't. He was quite nice.
Aug 11th
Did nothing hardly in the morning except for reading old 'Jackie's and vacuuming. After dinner me, Ju, C and R went swimming at Royton. Pretty good, nothing exceptional (except for that last word!). R has got a gorgeous tan - I'm dead jealous. It's great to have seen them again though! Still no word from Oxfam. Arranged to all go and sleep at Julie's on Sunday!!!
Aug 12th
Boring day. Done nothing except went to Asda with mum and dad in the morning - hated it. Had bath, helped dad wash car - isn't it all exciting? I'm looking forward to going to Ju's and the Cats Whiskers tomorrow, but I'm also feeling a wee bit scared. Lady was poorly yesterday - diahrea (can't spell it) but she's better today.
Aug 13th Sun
Went to Ju's about 6.30pm (before, had a visit, exciting (!) from Auntie May and family). C and R arrived at about 7pm. They've decided not to sleep though. I'm sick - I wanted them to! It would have been fun. We went to the Cats Whiskers. It's okay, not bad. Nothing to rave about though. Didn't see any nice looking lads or anything. OK Day.
Aug 14th (Mon)
Spent most of day doing 2 main things. 1) trying to pack Ju's mum off to Blackpool (man reason why I'm sleeping at Ju's) and 2) being bored! Eventually we decided to be creative and started making a picture of a gigantic fist with stars and things coming off it, in tin foil. BWD* so can't remember
Aug 15th (Tues)
Finished our creation - looks pretty good now! Bored most of the day. Ju's mum just won't go to Blackpool, she's fussing and faffing too much! Ju does a lot of housework. I helped her today. Sat outside trying to write a letter to JD. That lad John R kept messing about.
Aug 16th
Ju's mum at last went to Blackpool. Ju and me were in alone tonight and Kathy's friends, Andrew and Callum ran off to tell John R and friends!! So of course, John and his friends (Kevin G and, guess who - Roy D!) got in. They started eating biscuits and drinking and being rowdy. We tried to get rid of them. John tried to get off with me! Put hand on my knee! However we finally got rid of them when Ju's dad arrived home - boy did they run!! Remember Roy D? Used to go to my junior school.
Aug 17th (Thur)
Wish lads hadn't come in last night. Kevin G was quite nice. Quite. Fairly good looking. Funny laugh. Him and Roy came again before dinner and pestered us. It was then we decided we didn't want them. All three came at night but we didn't let them in. AT FIRST! John went, then we let Roy and Kev in. Just for Top of the Pops. Then they went and John came back.
Aug 18th
We told the lads yesterday that we would go watch them play football. Don't want neighbours seeing us with them, though. Roy and Kev came in morning. Got rid of them. John came after dinner, then later other two did. They were nasty to John. After difficulty got rid of them. Said we'd watch them play football. We did!! Got dead annoyed with Kev and Roy when they wouldn't go home after though. Don't worry, nothing happened. They're a bit immature, trying to impress us and each other. Came home from Ju's. Ju's mum came home too.
Aug 19 (Sat)
Nothing much. Had shower. Got sick and tired of Becky* this morning then lost temper (quietly) because mum made dinner late and I wanted to go into town before 4 o'clock. Norma keeps asking me to do odd jobs for her and it gets on my nerves. Went into town. Collected Julie and she's now staying at our house. Looked at school photos of Roy D. Norma is going to London.
Aug 20th
Ju slept last night. Today went to Auntie Emma's. Me and Ju were bored stiff!! We ate masses though. When we went back we popped in at Julie's. I tried to convince Ju's mum that we DID NOT encourage those lads. Well, not much. No, honestly. Me and Ju and her mum all had some lager and chocolate. Had a bad dream and woke up crying.
Aug 21st (Mon)
Oh God! Rebecca came again this morning. I'm getting to the stage where I can't stand the sight of her!! Ju went home at dinner and we met again after dinner in town, while Ju got her sister a birthday pressy. Found out from Julie that all her neighbours were "keeping an eye" on us while J's mum was away. They've given a BAD report to her. I'm flaming mad!!!

Aug 19th - mum used to child-mind Becky
Hello, welcome to my blog
Also, though, I like to do a brief review of the books I have been reading, so these are interspersed throughout. I reserve the right to write blog entries, also, about other random things.
Why do I keep this blog? I don't know. I am an academic and one of my research interests is around how people construct their own identities. The diary transcriptions, and what I write about my books, are very much about revealing something of my identity.
