Hi there Louise and Tracey J
The book is so heart warming. When you have read it let me know what you think. A couple of stick out points in my mind:
She is in the back garden with her mother and there is laundry on the line. She is relaxing taking it easy. She asks her mother if she could remove the washing as it is blocking the sun. "Mother If I wore knickers as large as those I would definately not hang them on the line. Take them in!"
Mother replies: "They are not mine! They are yours!"
She quickly removes said garments and puts them up against her mothers underwarear to be horrified at the fact that she wears bigger knickers than her mother!
Also the bit where she secretly stashes chocolate bars in the bottom of her wardrobe in her bedroom! The calories that you get from eating in your wardrobe where no one can see do not count!
Very sad when you think of the serious ness of it but also hilarious when you can relate to some of the things that she says. It is well worth a read!
Hope you enjoy
Have a nice weekend
