banned for life after spilling hot chocolate in it. I said, “Well, you remember there is a gig on and that I am going to stay over at Jas’s because it is nearer.”
    â€œIt’s not nearer if Dad picks you up in the car.”
    â€œYes, but that is not going to happen.”
    â€œWhy, have you asked him?”
    â€œNo, it is not going to happen, because it is not going to happen.”
    â€œAnd besides that, I don’t remember saying you could stay at Jas’s.”
    â€œYou said I could go to the gig last week.”
    â€œI know, but what has that to do with staying at Jas’s?”
    â€œI ALWAYS stay at Jas’s after gigs.”
    â€œNo you don’t.”
    â€œWell if I don’t it’s only because you want to spoil my life.”
    â€œWhat?”
    â€œYou know how important tomorrow is. I told you about Robbie, and then Masimo came round when I was in the bath and so on, and I STILL am not allowed to dye my hair, so I look like a boring person, and I have to traipse along to the gig with my ordinary hair whilst EVERYONE else is allowed to dye their hair. And now you are telling me that even though you said I could stay at Jas’s, now you don’t even know about it. I give up. I tell you what, I will just stay in my room for the rest of my life. Are you HAPPY now?”

    Mum was so frazzled by me that she has let me stay at Jas’s! Yessssss! And borrow her bag!!!
    So even though I will be naked tomorrow because I can’t decide what to wear, I will at least have a nice bag.
    in bed snuggled down
    If I go to sleep early, then time will pass quickly and it will be tomorrow, today if you see what I mean.
    I do.
    Night-night.
    9:00 p.m.
    I am going to make a pro and con list of all the good and bad qualities of the Sex God and the Luuurve God. Now let me see, I’ll start with the most important things.
    Looks.
    twenty minutes later
    This is it.
    Masimo:
    Looks: A ten deffo.
    Special attributes: Cat’s eyes, Pizza-a-gogo charisma.
    Snogging skills: Muchos buenos .
    Sense of humor: Probably. Hard to tell. I haven’t heard any Italian-type jokes yet. Or maybe I have but just don’t understand them.
    Personality: Yes.
    Caring: Yes, because when he was finishingwith his ex, he was quite nice and everything. Also, even though I didn’t like it, he was straight with me when he said he would think about going out with me.
    Minus points.
    Hmmmmmm.
    There might be a touch of the “oooohhh mind my hair, do you like my handbag?” about him. Although thinking about it, I don’t know that I have actually noticed the “handbag, mind my hair” business. But Dave the Laugh has mentioned it. A LOT.
    But Junior Blunderboy did shout out, “Does his boyfriend know you are snogging him?” Does that mean that there is the suggestion of the homosexualist about him?
    The Wet Lindsay factor. Does not seem to entirely realize what a complete arse above all arses she is. On the plus side, he has not spent more than one or two evenings in her company. As far as I know. Ergo, may not have snogged her. Even though she has implied that he has…
    Now then, over to Robbie.
    Looks: Yummy scrumboes. Maybe, though, just for scrupulous accuracy and fairness, I should mark him down half a point because I do prefer yellow eyes to blue ones. So let’s say nine and a half.
    Special attributes: Ability to get on with me even when my brain has slipped off for a little holiday. Is nice about Angus even when Angus once ripped his trouser bottoms to shreds. Also, he laughed rather than rang for the police when I ran my hand through my hair and the bleached bit of it snapped off in my hand. Snogging skills: You’re telling me. Well, you are telling me because it is so long since I snogged him that I have almost forgotten. I remember his ear-nibbling technique being surprisingly good. Or was that Dave the Laugh? Oy get off
