Oct 25 (Wed)
Not much to say really - boringly ordinary day - not half looking forward to Norma coming home. Miss Hatch was supposed to listen to me read today, after school, but she forgot. She doesn't like me and she shows it, which annoys me. Where can we go this weekend to celebrate my birthday?
Oct 26
Normal day. E is beginning to get on my nerves. She seems to think that she owns us. We break up for half term tomorrow and Norma comes home. She phoned tonight. Both mum and dad are out and I'm worrying myself silly over them. I wish they'd hurry back. Mum's just come in I think.
Oct 27 (Fri)
At last broke up for half term - I hate Russ - she kept asking me questions. This afternoon me and Ju went to town to do some shopping. She bought some ear-rings, I bought some face make-up. This feller kept following us but we lost him (haha) It was frightening. Norma came. Her pressie is a beautiful maxi skirt and top. Gorgeous turquoise cotton with flowers on. Been reading about the prophet Nostradamus. He's fantastic. He prophesied three great 'anti-christs' - Napoleon, Hitler and who knows in the future. 1999, 7th month, 3rd antichrist rules. Death, destruction etc - interesting.
Oct 28
Did nothing hardly this morning. Me, Ju, E and Norma went into town in the afternoon. Got dad a green tie for his birthday, also got him mum's present - tie-pin. Norma got me a beautiful butterfly brooch to go with my maxi skirt and top - lovely. Julie slept over. There was a prowler that shone a torch in window!
Oct 29
Norma and Ju took Beccy swimming but I couldn't go. I watched from the side. It's her first time at the baths and she liked it (thank goodness). Went to the Oldham Hotel with Julie, E and C to see the Oldham Tinkers* - it was great. I love the Tinkers. Lovely atmosphere. Had a shandy and 2 ciders. Was singing on the way back - saw Shirl.
Oct 30 (Mon)
Had a tiny headache today but not too bad. Slept at Ju's last night and so did E. I wish RH could have cme too. She wanted to but her mum wasn't keen. Worried about seeing John, Kev, Roy etc again (what do they think of me?) I think they've got something up their sleeves. Boring at home. Nowt to do. Did some drawing. Watched the telly.
Oct 31
Done nothing exciting today. I've done some physics notes, some of Sandra's dress and a tiny bit of homework. After dinner (after 4 o'clock) I went to visit the Greenwoods who are moving house (don't know where to). Everyone's fine. Nothing else to say. What exciting thing can I do with these holidays?

Oct 29 - and here started my life-long love of local Lancashire folk music! The Oldham Hotel was a pub in the town centre. It was where my mum met my dad just after the War. She was attracted to him because he was handsome, she said, but also because he had a watch and an overcoat, so she thought he had money!
