So i bought this from the new bookstore – spurred on by  liking the occasional sex – i thought why not. Its not porn lit for girls – its just a grown up book.

as with the last one, i am thinking its kind of cheating to base a book on a small number of main charaters and then write a whole chapter or two about each and the story from each perspective… i sooooo reckon i could do that. if i could spell and had any  form of punctuation – other – than – the  - Dickinson – dash!

twins have got GCSEs after the hols. ds not studying as he wants to get an apprenticeship at college as a mechanic – no he isn’t the stereotype of which you think  ( that would be my eldest) he is very bright – just a thorough prat. truly.  to actually get this apprenticeship he needs a job – it so happens we have a BIL who is a mechanic – and he owes us big time. so we go to sunday dinner today and ds does nothing but insult him in a purile way that 10 year old boys do…. but he is 16! and its not impressive. even after i took him to one side and told him to zip it – he couldnt. he is one of those annoying boys that all us girls had to put up with at school – junior school – those boys who would say “ginger ginger ha ha ha”

DD is studying – briefly. i don’t know what she is expecting but i see re-sits in her future.
