Summer is over
12 July 2001 7:13pm (In the box room)
Way too early to go to bed, the birds are still out and I can definitely hear the ice cream lady still going down all the streets.
Sarah only went to bed about 33 minutes ago, there should be way more time between me and her. I told them it’s not fair, and that I’m not going to go to sleep anyways.
Tomorrow I get to look after Sarah for the whole day again!!!

So, we’re staying here for the summer, dad and mum are having a holiday from each other. Dad’s holiday just sounds like he’s going to be at work the whole time so that’s not fair on him. Mum spent the whole day yesterday in the shops, I went and told her what looked nice and what looked nicer. She said that maybe one day I’ll have her legs, but probably not because I look like dads sisters. Sarah was good today, she loves it so much when I push her around in the pram and pretend she’s on a ride or something.
15 August 2001 10:47pm (Nans bedroom with all the scary dolls)
Still at Nans house, Sarah’s so good at talking now. I’m teaching her how to put on make-up, it looks so cute on her. I got to go through all of mum’s old stuff and she said I can keep anything that she doesn’t like or is too big for her. We went on a REAL big shopping trip yesterday (for the whole day) mum brought 5 new pairs of jeans. I wanted a bra, but mum said she needed a new one. Maybe next time. The one that Julie (Emma’s Mum) gave me is still good, I think. Julie is sososososo nice. Proper nice. One time, we all sat at the dinner table together and ate dinner. She makes the best dinners and sometimes lets me use their shower and the nice shampoo. Steve (Emma’s Dad) is the best Dad. I can’t believe he is allowed to come home so early and gets to talk so nice with Julie (Emma’s Mum)
Dad’s still working a lot.
14 September 1:35pm (in the kitchen)
Back home now, back to school. Can’t believe that the summer holidays are done. Year 6 is going to be the best, next year is big school so we get to go on a trip for half a day and hang out with all the big kids.
I taught Emma that we can’t call it “playtime” anymore, we have to say, “going on break”. The other kids said if we get it wrong then we definitely look like babies.
Sarah’s so cute, her favourite thing to do is the cutest thing. She loves to pretend that she can make dinner and I pretend that I’m eating it, she’s so funny. I always make her favourite dinners, and for lunch she likes it when I make her Dads favourite ham sandwich. I’m in charge of picking out all of her clothes as long as I wash and iron them afterwards.
Tomorrow I get to stay home again to help look after Sarah when mums out at the hairdressers. I get to pick out all the films me and Sarah are going to watch and I’m making Dads ham sandwiches.
Definitely not watching Tarzan or Stuart Little, Sarah doesn’t like the scary bits with the cats and I don’t like them at all either.
September 15 2:46pm (In the kitchen)
NEED to remember to tell people that Dad is in the garden doing work if anyone comes to the front door when mums out. If I don’t the police will come and take us away mum said.
October 20 1:47pm (in my bedroom)
Police didn’t come yet. Its okay I know Plismon Huw really good so I’ll just tell him how much I like being at home with Sarah. That is what I am good at, and making spaghetti bolognese.
