I Like To Read My Diary Occasionally

I Think It's So Easy When You Have Children Just To Turn Your Focus Inward On Your Family And Because, When They're Young, You Don't Sleep Very Much, You're Walking Around Like A Zombie Most Of The Time Anyway. It's A Really Important Part Of My Life To Have Good Friends, You Have To Work Quite Hard To Keep The Relationships Going But It's Worth It.

I Wasn't One Of Those Hideous Children Who Make Their Parents Sit Through Hour-long Performances When You're Seven. I Didn't Do Anything Like That Thankfully.

There's Something People Do To You When They Bully You That Makes You Feel Like You're On Your Own. But Don't Keep Things Inside, It's Really Damaging If You Do.

My Mum Is Bright, Ambitious, Well Read, Political And Very Bolshie: When My Dad Was Conscripted Into The Army And Posted To Libya, She Convinced Some General To Let Her Go With Him. I Don't Know How She Managed It.

Even When I Wasn't Overweight I Was Never One Of Those Girls Or Women Who Wanted To Look Nice. I Always Thought It Wasn't Important.
