FRIDAY 26TH DECEMBER

Latanoyatiqua Marshall-Dinsdale was born today at 4AM. She was 7lb. 2oz. Kezia had her at home in her mum’s living room with Kezia’s mum and sisters all helping out and holding her ankles. Kezia says it was proper painful. Like going to the loo, then realizing you had to try and push out a big watermelon one millimeter at a time but for nine whole hours.

Kezia’s baby is well nice though. She’s a lovely, brown, plump lump with long eyelashes. Me and Carrie and Uma went round to see her tonight. Carrie was too scared to hold her but I wasn’t. I tucked her into my chest and for some reason my stomach went all funny and I wanted to cry.

I told Kezia that me and Wesley had split up. Kezia says that I’m better off without a bloke, ’cos they all let you down in the end just like her Luther did. Carrie says to Kezia that I’ve no place to moan ’cos I’ll soon be upgrading Wesley for “something a lot better.” I know she means Joshua Fallow.

Carrie is hassling me and Uma to go to Joshua’s New Year’s Eve party at his house next week but I’m not too sure. You should see some of the texts he’s been sending me. Proper rude they are. It’s all he ever thinks about. Not that I don’t think about rude things too sometimes. Saying that, Kezia’s story about the watermelon has put me off a bit. Nothing’s worth that trouble.
