Mr. Davis* phoned the Lancashire Constabulary to see if they are taking recruits on and they are. He gave me the address and I’ve got to write off and let him know how I go on. Mags says hello Gary now. There was a fire at school at dinner. Name was in Guardian on Friday for being in the final of an art competition, the finals on 10th April. Mum said she’s going and I have to go with her don’t want to go In Parr Hall.

Diary of a Lovesick Teenager

Because this is a diary, it was written at the time and at no point are there any exaggerations, lies or anything that may be misleading, it is written with an honest, if naive hand due to the tender age of it’s author. It can be described as funny, a little sad in parts and reflects my thoughts at the time, but most of all it is an honest document that I hope above all will entertain and amuse.
