Well, where to begin. It’s a bit tricky because I didn’t do this yesterday, I was too tired. You’ll find out why in due course.
I didn’t sleep well last night (I’ll try and write it as if I wrote it yesterday so as I don’t confuse myself).
At about 3:30 in the morning they all came in, loud and stomping around like a herd of elephants. They’ll settle down or I’ll get used to it hopefully, before I have some kind of mental breakdown from lack of sleep. I suppose it doesn’t help that ...

Sunday
My first day here and we weren’t ready when dad came to get us and took a while to get sorted. Then mum put Eddie in a bag where syrup pudding leaked and he got all sticky so we had to try and clean him up. I had to navigate, which just meant holding the out of date atlas that’s about as old as I am, and dad got a bit lost.

'Come closer little fish, closer,' the shark calls, ready to snap me up in it's jaws. This is my last day at home as far as I know anyway. Tomorrow I'm moving into Uni. and I'm terrified.

I asked someone at school once ...

Some ******* upset my mum and it makes me angry, especially when she told me what he said. I clenched my fist so tightly it hurt, I was so angry .
Mum came home. I was upstairs when she came in and when I came down I cuddled her. I don’t normally do that until later on in the night but I felt rather happy. I like to cuddle my mum, she’s always warm and cuddly. Then I heard an irregularity in her breathing, the kind when someone’s upset, when you know they’re about to cry. I asked ...
