What an absolutely exciting, action-packed sensational day!! (I must say) Didn't see Julie, didn't see anyone 'cept family. Please, please let it change before the end of the hols. I want a boyfriend! Wonder what's happened with Ju and them lads? God, I've done nothing today. Norma arrived home safely last night about 10 o'clock. Her friend Stella slept.

Got on quite well with Becky this morning. Made her a melon-seed necklace!! Found out that her sister Cathy (remember her) doesn't like Don McLean.Ah well, we can't all have good taste I suppose. Saw Ju this afternoon. I bought some new school shoes. They're gorgeous. I'm hoping I'm allowed to wear them for school though. God, we were so bored again in town!!!
NB new shoes are black, slightly patent, one bar across, wooden heels. V. nice.

Did hardly anything 'cept tidy up for mum in morning. In afternoon went to Ju's wearing new shoes. We made tea for Kathy, Richard, Catherine and Alison Burns. Then we all went to the pictures to see Alice in Wonderland - which is pretty nice. Slept at Julie's. Only one trouble - I've promised Norma I'll see it with her.

Went to our house after breakfast then went selling flags for mentally handicapped children. It was fun really. Some people were nice but it upset me when stupid women went past ignoring me or pretending they haven't heard. It really does upset me. Some lads were nice though. Made £4.67. Went with Norma to Alice in Wonderland. Bit boring second time round. Some lads tried to pick us up.
Aug 26
Oh no, Rebecca here again!! Decided that I'll have to start saving hard for Norma's birthday present. Mum's paid me for odd jobs - I tidied all the kitchen out. Also I cleaned dad's car so he's giving me extra for that. Horrible stomach ache. Got postcard off Evelyn. Sandra, Audrey, Fred and Baby visited us. Sandra's had hair cut. Nice Horrid old man in park.
NB XX Olympics Munich started today. The munich Stadium is terrific*.

Oh what's wrong with me? All the time at the slightest thing I feel like crying. 3 times today I've cried (twice at TV). Suppose 'cos I'm on my period. God, I'm crying again now! I hate Tampax. We were supposed to take Sandra to baths tomorrow but I can't go.
Aug 28
Norma took Sandra swimming but I didn't mind. Sandra's brave in the water now. After dinner went to town with Ju, then on to Ju's Auntie Anne's. Katrina's first birthday. (Aww) Me and Ju organised food etc. Didn't get home until 11.30. Frightened about burglars at Ju's dad's works.

Would you believe I got up at 7.30 this morning? Well I did, to go to the dentist's in Manchester for 9.15am. I went by myself (I'm a big girl now). I didn't get lost or anything like that. Mr Aron says I've got to have some more teeth out. I've got to make an appointment with Cooper on Friday. I'm sick! Finished chair for Sandra nearly. Also did quite a lot of dress. I've finished one side. Got wrapping paper.
Aug 30 (Wed)
Oh! When life gets this boring I honestly wonder why I bother staying alive! Saw Ju this afternoon in town. Dead bored. Both of us were. I bought some wrapping paper for bedroom wall (exciting). I love my bedroom. It is me. Everything I like.Magic Roundabout, Norma, Chemistry, Robert Redford, Peanuts, Beatles, Bob Dylan, memories, all part of me.
Aug 31
Went to Ju's for dinner. Good Grief!! We got the shock of our lives! Evelyn phoned and asked us if we wanted to go to a party. Yes - US - the girls who lead such incredibly boring lives! Well, we were terrified of going but we went. Evelyn's fella, David. There were 6 girls and 7 lads, all fairly okay - you know. It was a bit boring really, cos no-one spoke. I got a tiny bit drunk.
Commentary
*Aug 26 - I wrote a longer note on a separate piece of paper tucked into my diary. These were the Olympics that ended up with the kidnapping and killing of 10 people. It seems unthinkable. It was unthinkable. It is.
