send it to me, especially!! The cheek!
I should have sent them a photo of me and . . . me and . . . George (the lollipop man and the only man I seem to speak to these days) standing outside in the freezing cold jumping in puddles. That’s how pointless that would have been to them!
Oh god, I’m rambling on and on. Sorry. I have to go before Katie finishes the last of that red wine in the bottle on the floor.
Oh, by the way. It was great to meet your boyfriend after all this time, he’s a really nice guy. You two should come home more often, it was fun speaking to people closer to my age for a change.
Happy new year. Whoever thought of that expression?
Love, your festive and extremely joyous younger sister, Rosie.
TO ROSIE,

Dear Katie,
I’m sorry I can’t come to your birthday party. The magician sounds like he will be lots of fun. You will have so many friends you won’t even no I’m not there! I have to work at the hospital, so they won’t let me take a holiday.
I told them it was your birthday but they still wouldn’t listen!
However I have sent you a little something so I hope you like it. Happy birthday, Katie, and take care of your mummy for me. She is very special.
Lots of love to you and Mum,
Alex
TO ALEX,
THANK YOU FOR MY BRITHDAY PRESENT. MY MUMMY
CRIED WHEN I OPENED IT. I NEVER HAD A LOCKET BEFORE. THE
PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOU AND MUMMY ARE VERY SMALL.
THE MAJICIN WAS GOOD BUT MY BEST FREIND TOBY SAID HE
NEW HE WAS CHEATING AND SHOWED EVERYONE WHERE THE
MAN HID THE CARDS. THE MAN WAS NOT VERY HAPPY AND HE
GOT MAD AT TOBY. MUMMY LAFFED SO LOUD I DO NOT THINK
THE MAJIC MAN LIKED HER EETHER. TOBY LIKES MUM.
I GOT LOTS OF NICE PRESENTS BUT AVRIL AND SINEAD GOT
ME THE SAME THING. MUMMY AND ME ARE MOVING HOWSE
SOON. I WILL MISS GRANDMA AND GRANDAD SO MUCH AND I NO MUMMY IS SAD BECAUSE I HEARD HER CRYING LAST NIGHT
IN BED.
BUT WE ARE NOT MOVING TOO FAR AWAY. YOU CAN GET
THE BUS FORM GRANDMA AND GRANDAD TO OUR NEW HOWSE.
IT DOES NOT TAKE TOO LONG AND WE ARE NEARER TO ALL THE
SHOPS IN TOWN SO WE CAN WALK.
IT IS MUCH SMALLER THAN THE HOWSE WE ARE IN NOW.
MUMMY IS FUNNY SHE CALLS IT A SHOE BOX! THERE ARE ONLY
64
Cecelia Ahern
2 BEDROOMS AND THE KITCHEN IS TINY AND THERE IS NO DINING ROOM OR PLAYROOM. JUST A PLACE TO EAT AND WATCH
TELLY. WE HAVE A BALCONY AND IT’S NICE BUT MUM WONT
LET ME STAND ON IT ON MY OWN.
I CAN SEE THE PARK. MUMMY SAYS THE PARK IS OUR GARDEN AND THAT WE HAVE THE BIGGEST GARDEN IN THE WORLD.
MUMMY SAID THAT I CAN PAINT MY ROOM WHATEVER
COLOR I WANT. I THINK I’LL PAINT IT PINK OR PURPLE. TOBY
SAYS WE SHOULD PAINT IT BLACK. HE IS FUNNY.
MUMMY HAS A NEW JOB. SHE WORKS ONLY A FEW DAYS IN A WEEK SO SOMETIMES SHE CAN COLLECT ME FROM SKOOL AND
OTHER TIMES SHE CANT. I PLAY WITH TOBY UNTIL SHE COMES
HOME. HIS MUM ALWAYS BRINGS HIM AND COLLECTS HIM
BECAUSE THEY SAY WE ARE TOO YOUNG TO GET THE BUS. I DON’T THINK MUM LIKES HER JOB. SHE IS ALWAYS TIRED AND
CRYING. SHE SAID SHE WOULD PERFER TO BE BACK IN SKOOL
DOING DUBBLE MATTS. I DON’T NO WHAT SHE MEANS. ME AND
TOBY HATE SKOOL BUT HE ALWAYS MAKES ME LAFF. MUMMY
SAYS SHE IS TIRED OF HAVING TO KEEP GOING BACK TO MY
TEACHER MS. CASEY. GRANDMA AND GRANDAD THINK IT IS
FUNNY. MS. CASEY HAS THE BIGGEST NOSE EVER. SHE HATES ME
AND TOBY. I DO NOT THINK SHE LIKES MUM EETHER BECAUSE
THEY ALWAYS FIGHT WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER.
MUM HAS A NEW FREIND. THEY WORK IN THE SAME BUILDING BUT NOT IN THE SAME OFFICE. THEY MET OUTSIDE IN THE
COLD BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SMOKE OUTSIDE. MUM SAYS SHE
IS THE BEST FREIND SHE HAS HAD FOR AGES. HER NAME IS RUBY
AND SHE IS REAL FUNNY. I LIKE WHEN SHE
