Stayed in all day. Boring day throughout. Getting a bit depressed about the job situation. That’s my bloody Sunday for you

I asked Ste Hanson what did they say to Mags last night, he said she said, no coz she likes me as a friend, but Duanie said she doesn’t like me, I’m inclined to believe Duanie than Ste. Played soccer in gym at 4.30pm we won 8-3. Never went out at night

My mums friend is a relative of Debbie Sutch. She told my mum the Deakins are a funny family, very Catholic religious and always playing table tennis and all that. Still like her though, it’s not her fault she’s been brought up like that, I feel sorry for her. Mum and dad went out at night.

Quite a good day. Nothing happens nowadays concerning Catherine’s mob, not that I’m all that bothered. Wrote 4 letters for leaflets and an application form for Police, threw the other 3 away coz they were wrong.
