Quotes edit see section history

• “Looking through the old family albums. I'm not surprised I'm ugly. The photos of Dad as a child are terrifying. His Nose is huge-it takes up half of his face. In fact, he is literally just a nose with arms and legs attached.”

  Georgia

• “The only nice person here is Libby. She is stroking where my eyebrows used to be and then she went off and brought me a lump of cheese. Great. I have become ratwoman.”

  Georgia

• “I've been Sellotaping my fringe to make it longer and straighter and to cover up the space where my eyebrows were. Jas said, 'It makes you look like you've escaped from the funny lad's home.”

  Georgia/Jas

• “What a long boring day. I hate Sundays; they are deliberatley invented by people who have no life and no friends.”

  Georgia

• “Then as I opened the books, she took my duvet cover and blew her nose on it. It's absolutely covered in green snot. Who would have thought such a tiny girl could produce a bucket of snot?”

  Georgia about Libby

• “Slim shook herself. It was sort of a habit that she had when she was irritated with us (i.e., all the time). It made her look like a jelly with shoes on.”

  Georgia

• “If I miss this party because of Miss Stamp, SHE WILL DIE.”
