Me & Ethna went to do our Christmas shopping. John got me Chart Busters 81.

I got –

Ethna/Catherine – fingerless gloves

Mummy – make-up bag

Daddy – book of Kerryman jokes

John – Blue Peter annual & Leg

J – notelets

It was cold but we insisted on going out & now have paid the consequences.

That's all. Goodnight

Auntie M sent me £2 – I used it for presents so I had £12. Ethna only had £10.
