1999: Up at 6.30 – bounced out of bed – no chance of a snooze today mum. Much happier at Edon’s today as I saw Josh and Jake and went to minders club and let rip! Mum didn’t get much feedback today, as I was sooo excited to see her. I ran out to the car – no shoes, trousers or coat, never mind the hail stones! When we got home the weather had brightened up at last and I played in the garden/mud bath for a while. Mum reckons I was a bit of a tinker tonight, with 3 bottles of drink before I eventually settled. Has she not heard of thirst? Mum was okay though; I‘ve just about got the angelic, cheeky, butter wouldn‘t melt look off to a fine art now. Works every time. Well almost anyway.
2019: No bouncing anywhere today but I did manage to drag my butt out of bed and get to work. Zof went to talk to mum and get some advice. I’ve always needed my own space but now I’ve grown up I don’t have a den or a bedroom to myself anymore. Plan: Spare bedroom is going to be my breakout area. Sound went on Mums tv the other week so that’s going in there and Play Station. Chilled tonight after work and we had a nice evening. Proves it really is ok to cry and let it all out.
