Normal Life With Jess
Saturday 29th October [1994]
We went out in Kinson to find a bridesmaids dress ^For Sarah. The ones in OXFAM were far too big we looked in Help the AGED but they did not have any. We went back to OXFAM. Well mum and kerry went while I looked in vain in the petshop especially the hamsters mum and Kess came in. I said “Look aren’t the sweet!” she muttered “We’ll see”. Eventually she said we will get one! we discussed what cage we should buy and we decided which hamster to get. Mum said I will buy the cafe you buy the hamster. The cage is a three storey one so she has plenty of space. The hamster is going to be a lovely tiny little Russian one. For the rest of the day I tried to make it go quickly and went to bed.

We got up and went to see My Girl 2! It was great! We went to the pet shop and then played with Jemma. It was Very Boring! We had two games of draughts and watched T.V.! I don’t like Jemma. She would not get up then she would not let us shell her nuts then just because we (me and Kess) were on each end of the couch Jemma got in a fuss! So kess had to sit in the middle just cause Jemma prefered sitting on the edge. It is the same in the car! She has to have a special side. Anyway we came home and I looked through a catalogue. I am considering geting my ears pierced. Since every time I look in the catalouge all I see is earings! So I am considering. I’ve got my eye on some cheep dolphin studs 9ct Gold. Well I went to bed.

Wednesday 16 November
I gotu up went to school came home and saw Jemma go down the road in the car and signaled that she was going somewhere, I naturally thought the pet shop. As soon as Nan and Kess got back I asked if I could go down there and nan said Yes! I met Jemma there and she told me she was getting her hamster today! So she got it and went home and we set it up (the cage) and eventually got him in. We forgot several things and we had to keep getting him out. Once he fell over! He was covered in Sawdust. But he was alright. Jemma named him marmalade! Well we came home and we were whining we wanted to get one, So eventually mum said if the barclay card arrived before we went on holiday and if Jemma would look after them then we would get some! It is so great! I am getting a Rotostak Unit Starter Set! Well we went to bed.
