25th December 1939

Had a nice peaceful Christmas to say that we’re in the middle of a war.  Susan and baby Albert came for dinner (her Robert is away, we’re not sure where).  Albert wouldn’t oblige with a nap while we were eating though which made things a bit fraught.  I had some useful presents – a set of warm bedding from Mum and Dad, a hairbrush set from Susan, a lipstick from Joan and some bath salts from Mrs Fraser (very good of her because I hardly know her yet).  Joan’s lipstick is quite a daring colour but Susan says that it suits me so it must be alright.  I also wore the new dress that I treated myself to before coming home.  Best of all was when Dad came back from the pub.  He whispered to me that he was very proud of me and that I was a credit to the dear old LMS.  I could cry I’m so happy!
