Today, after watching the film Space Camp, I have launched a new ambition....to be the first person to have baby in SPACE. Neat huh!

That was a quick crush!

Jan 13 1991

Am ill so missed Church

Jan 14 1991

Still ill so missed school. House assemblies apparently, so didn't miss much. Mum and Dad went to their first foster meeting.

Mum and Dad were Foster Carers for a while

Jan 15 1991

Today is the last day for S.Hussain to get out of Kuwait. Probably means war. I was off school again but I'm going back tomorrow after a day of luxury.

This is great! I binned my old diaries as they were so embarrassing they made me want to peel off my own skin just to stop the pain.

Jan 16 1991

Went to school but got out of games. No war yet. Dad's in London + Jane's in Burnley. Catherine's hair cut.

Jane is younger sister, Catherine is BFF

This is so fun DSis2 kept a diary, I loved reading about it all.

Jan 17 1991
Nothing really happened today. Dad's in Belfast. War broke out. Shit pen.

biro was running out

Keep going! :)

Jan 18 1991

Went to Guides. Went shopping for fridges and bust one, then deafened whole shop when I pressed CD on something.

I love the daring juxtaposition of the chilling outbreak of war...and malfunctioning stationery

I loved babysitters club books! Wonder if they're still in libraries?!

I kept diaries. I think I burned them when I was early twenties. The ones from 15/16 were hard. I remember making myself cry at the angst re-reading them. Im pretty sure I destroyed them as I dont think they're in my loft.

Jan 19 1991

Church Youth Club party. It was quite good. Got loads of ideas for Dirty Dancing with Helen. (I watched it for 2nd time). Dad's in Amsterdam.

That sounds weird. Helen and I had a Dirty Dancing routine we did in the school library at break times

Still sounds weird

Jan 20 1991

Dad's still in Amsterdam. Spent most of the day with Pam and haven't got anything ready for school. WAR CARRIES ON.

Pam, also contender for BFF but oat points by not going to the same school as me

I want to know what jet set job your dad had!

*lost points

Ha, Dad actually had a mundane factory job in Engineering, but went on a grand tour with work for a few weeks this one time. So unusual, I wrote about it in my 3 lines per day!

"War carries on"

Velma I want to know, too. I must've read 50 of them. I wanted to be Claudia, the artistic, cool one.

Loving the thread

I love "Nothing much really happened today...War broke out".

This one has 2 entries- one from the previous year.

GOT CONFIRMED
Had a party.
(Forgot to bow at Bishop)

Jan 21 1991
Mine and Helen's dance is BRILL. Dad came back from Amsterdam. He brought me a pendant with a windmill on it.

Jan 22 1991

Botched up with Angela. What's wrong with me?
Social worker came called Frank. I had to do homework for him!! As if school wasn't enough.

Love your diary. Lovely reminder for you.

Loving these! I have old diaries around somewhere but keep them hidden from myself, they make me feel extremely embarrassed! I think I need to put them together somewhere with a note in my will that they are to be burnt without being read upon my death!
