1999: Into mums at six. It was actually still dark, so I went back to sleep for 15 whole minutes. I wasn’t fooled for long though, I soon realised it was the new curtains making it dark and that it was actually light outside, so I got up. Back to Edon’s today and toddler group and I also saw nan and Bomper. Tonight mum started digging up the garden. The chance was not to be missed – permission to dig in the garden, so I picked up my spade too. After a bath I demanded my drink. Mum told me she was making it, but I WANT IT NOW. To show I meant business I whacked the washing machine with my toy car. Mum said once more and I would go to bed – so I gave it my best shot. BED. I wanted to stay downstairs. Mum told me I would have to say sorry to the washing machine, which I did – is she daft it’s an object (with feelings apparently). Then I took myself off to bed. What’s so funny mum? Did I miss something? Oh well, I was tired anyway
2019: The long awaited day is here. Finally started at Aviva. First day went well and I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing relief it was not to be pounding my body on a building site and working a 10 hour day. Id like to say mum has made all my 1999 diary up but I still spit my dummy out now
