Dear Diary,

6 pm went up to my bedroom and finished said letter.  After an hour or so Mum came up to see what I was doing.  When she saw the pages strewn over the floor she just said ‘oh! In a very understanding way and left.

She spent the rest of the evening trying to explain how Michael isn’t ‘my type’ and how nice Alan is.  I really think I have done something to please her at last.
