Jen wants to see me and Dimple. She says it's URGENT. Perhaps she's having plastic surgery. Everything has gone mental.

5.28 p.m.

Jen has been brought to her senses by the moon phases. We have totally had an infiltrator in MGK's gang. We now KNOW the following:

•   MGK thinks I am INTOLERANT!

•   MGK thinks I HAVE BETTER LEGS THAN HER but THAT I WEAR CHEAP CLOTHES!

•   MGK rings up her gang before they go out and makes them DETAIL what they are going to wear so she can make sure she ALWAYS looks best.

•   MGK eats MINI TINS OF SWEETCORN COLD FOR LUNCH ON THEIR OWN LIKE THAT IS NORMAL.

•   MGK hates her real name and would prefer to be another gemstone – say, “Diamond” or “Sapphire Slack” – LOL!

I'm definitely being asked to process too much information at the moment (got that phrase out of Mum's
Psychologies
mag!). So basically, according to Jen, MGK talks about me all the time. It's like she fancies me or something. Yet she STILL ignores me in real life and spreads gossip.

6.35 p.m.

Gran says MGK is jealous of ME?! Jealous of what?!

•   Braces.

•   No wardrobe.

•   An evil brother.

•   A worse relationship with our real dad.

•   A gran who still has some of Father Christmas's nose in diamantes on her backside.

10.02 p.m.

THE BEST BREAKING NEWS EVER! Gran has fallen out with Matfield. Her “Blue Period Picasso” didn't come up to the mark! Gran shouted, “I don't come here to be criticized!” Matfield suggested that art WAS about criticism and perhaps Gran should consider learning a foreign language.

Gran said, “I did tell her something in bloody French then and I walked out!”

That's her way of saying she swore.

GRAN SWORE AT MATFIELD. LIVING THE DREAM
.

Gran is actually paying for my art crimes but I'm never telling her!

MGK TOTALLY knows Jen has been talking! She keeps death-staring me and then today, after Science, she came up to me and said:

MGK:
Have you heard from Dad?
ME:
You mean Keith?
MGK:
Yes – DAD. He emailed me the other day. It was a HUGE mail. I think he really sees me as someone he can talk to on his own level.

I just walked off. She means intelligence level. She's right – SLIGHT DOUGHNUT!

6.49 p.m.

Why hasn't he emailed me?

7.18 p.m.

He HAS emailed me – it was in the “junk” folder.

Subject: YOU!!!

Dearest Hattie,

How are you? Just want you to know I think of you often and how proud of you I am. You're an amazing young woman and it was lovely spending time with you.

How is school?

Is THAT it?!

MGK gets an essay and I get 3 sentences?!

Came home to find my mum telling Rob and Nathan off for filling a rubber glove full of water and letting it off in the back garden. Apparently it was “massive”.

ALL men are ALL 8 years old, A

totally confusing and ALL RUBBISH.

OMG – INSANITY SPECIAL!!!

Dimple is ending the relationship with BHAVIN!

Dimple said, “Mum is pregnant, Hattie! She needs help”. I said, “Dimps – you need to start putting yourself FIRST. Like Oprah says, you have to LOVE yourself before you can love anybody else!” Dimple says it's not fair to put an extra burden on her parents at this time. I shouted at her, “IT'S SECRET – HOW WOULD IT?!”

This is family loyalty gone mad. If I had a Bhavin, I wouldn't give him up for anyone!

4.34 p.m.

That's not true. I wouldn't want to hurt my family again for anyone. Except for you know who – and they all love him anyway.

Dimple was a bit down at school today. She told Bhavin it was over by text! He was really upset (he did about 20 sad faces) but he “understood”! UNDERSTOOD?! Those 2 were totally marriage material and they've given up their max pash without even a goodbye SNOG!

Dimple said clean breaks are good. No, they are not. They hurt. You can't just give up on people – even if your family need you or they do things that totally annoy you.

7.46 p.m.

LOL!

Nathan is furious. He has been unemployed for so long that they are making him do unpaid work. It's for “experience”. Mum thinks it's disgusting that Nathan is being forced to work for free. She was cursing about the government. Then Gran started saying all this stuff.

GRAN:
It will do you good, boy! Your mum spoils you rotten. She still buys you Cheesestrings and Happy Face biscuits!
NATHAN:
You have no idea, Gran. It's terrible out there. There are NO jobs!
GRAN:
Yes – you are right, Nathan! There are no jobs for people who get up past noon, go to bed at 4 in the morning, have hardly any qualifications and want to be paid £40 an hour!
NATHAN:
I am prepared to go to work.
GRAN:
I'm prepared to let you! It's about time you paid for my pension. In fact I might get a little job myself. I fancy some company and a bit of spending money.

I LOVE GRAN
.

She clearly won't get a job but she's really upset Nathan!!!

Gran is applying for jobs. She has done her CV. It's about 3 lines.

In my nearly 70 years on this Earth I have done every job known to man, had a child and managed a home with a husband in prison without any state benefits. There is nothing I won't do or try. I have a doctorate from the University of Life
.

It's good to see her coming clean about her past and Grandad's criminal record but she's got no chance getting a job!
