My Diary19th march 1906 Hi it's me again, Violet. Sorry I haven't talked to you in ages. I just haven't had the time to. I mean with my mum dead now its hard for dad to cope with us all. I will be going soon, to the Waifs and Strays Society. I could not get a job and now I get really frustrated. I wish dad would stop asking me for money, he know that I don't have anything. I'm actually really happy because I'm going away from my dad he's always getting drunk, and asking me for money that I don't have. It is getting on my nerves so much. Sometimes I wish he would die.
The lodgings are so bad! ---------------------- 28th march 1906 Hello it's me again im sorry I keep bothering you im finally in the waifs and strays im feeling inside of me like im in heaven and I am being ripped out. Even though I hate my dad I will still miss him, because he brought me in to this world and I've got to go now because; I need the toilet and because I need to catch a bus. I won't be writing again for sometime. Love violet. ---------------------- 5th may 1906 Sorry I haven't written for ages, I have been to work in dover, thanks to the childrens society, they are realy helping me a lot. I earn 4 shillings and ½ d a week. I am now working in London right next to the river, selling bright red roses from me wicker basket all day in the warm sun, I love it! Will write again tomorrow. Love violet. X ---------------------- 6th may 1906 To day I have sold all of my roses, did I tell you that I grow them in my back garden? I have sold soo many that I need to wait for more to grow.
