3rd January 1940

I’m happy to be back at work and Mr Hardy says that I’m doing very well. We’re getting ready for rationing at Mrs F’s.  We’re going to start planting vegetables in the back yard, which she is going to pay a “nice strong man” to dig over first.  Mr F didn’t stay long over Christmas and I think she’s fed up and looking for a replacement.  She says that her job in the factory has opened her eyes to what a marriage could be.  I think she may have her eye on Bill from next door but one.  He’s a coal miner and so he doesn’t have to go away and join up.  Mrs Bill is no more and he has two quite big children.  Ready made family Mrs F says!
