Sunday 29^th March

Saw Roy, but went to movies by myself.  Saw one of the boys.  Saw Frank.  When I came out of movies went to “Three Horseshoes” with him.  Stood talking.  Mummy and Gordon invited us to Cranleigh Hotel.  Felt sick and had cold in head.  Was sick went home everyone fussed over me.  Went to bed.  Frank’s crazy about me, but he’s not my type.  I hope to go to the dance tomorrow.

Saturday 7^th March

Went to dance.  Very good.  Danced with lots of officers met one rather nice one.  Charles danced with me.  Has been to London.  Naughty Chas danced with me also last waltz.  Little Cpl. kept following me.  Ivy nearly left me with a soldier.  The boys are very interested in Charles and my quarrel.  Did tango and rumba with Milton!

Thursday 5^th March

Went to dance 2/.  Not many there.  Rather depressing.  Nic insisted on dancing with me said he waited 2 hours for me.  Ivy was there.  Also filmstar officer etc.  Did not have chance to speak because of Nic.  Nic took me home.  I may see him next Friday.  I don’t think I will though because he would want to keep going out with me because he’s crazy about me.

Friday 6^th March

Went to movies saw “Gert and Daisy’s Weekend” also Caesar Romero in “Dance Hall”.  Not too bad!!  Saw several people I knew.  Went in 1/6d seats.  It was pitch dark.  But some guys recognized me and said Good Night.  Dorothy sat and talked when I got back.

Tuesday 3^rd March

Went to dance, danced a lot with Nic and Caddy.  Charles danced with me but acted a bit distant.  Also danced black-out walze.  He took that girl for drink and took her home.  Nic took me home, talked to him and Caddy at corner.  Gordon came by also Charles.  Nic likes me very much.  The fool wants to marry me!!  He forgets Bob.

Spoke to Kib and Red at dance last night.  It appears Chas told him not to come!!  Did not go anywhere.  Washed my hair and did a bit of washing.  Bob has not phoned yet.  I’m disappointed he said he would.  Saw Canadian Officer, etc.  It was Charles’ Birthday today, did not send him a card.

Sunday 1^st March St. David’s Day

Did not go anywhere today.  Had bath.  Pamela went to pictures.  Gordon came borrowed my bike last night brought it back today.  He would not say much about Charles.  I guess Charles is going around with that girl because I sort of dared him to in an indirect way.
