  2. What Am I Really?

    What Am I Really?

    That is what you must ask yourself

While hanging around Tesco I thought, ‘actually, I feel like getting some strawberries. Maybe I can make something out of them’ I’m not too keen on plain strawberries you see, I like them but I couldn’t eat a box of them and the free cream was the clincher.

    I feel kind of tactless and rude for posting this up on my blog, but as explained in the proceeding letter - I did not plan on going and as such instead of mailing this out to the friends on LitNet that I mailed it to last year, I've decided to post it this way. Should you feel interested in aiding me, please send me a private message for details on address information. - Thank you so much guys for putting up with me! I love you lots!!
