'Oh God, the most hysterical thing has just happened!! Sally has just phoned up Debbie and in a really sexy voice asked for Kev’s phone number (her boyfriend), and she wouldn't say who she was, at least she said she was Karen Robinson.

13th Sept

Bet you are all on tenterhooks cos you are dying to find out about Sally and Debbie and the phone calls!.. Sally phoned me up about 9.15, and i gave her all these phone numbers, Debbie, Kev, Darren, Tracey, Mitch, etc - she said she was going to phone Debbie and ask for Kev, when her mum answered and asked who it was she said, ' Lets say it’s a friend.’ When Debbie came she said, 'Hello Debbie, have you got Kev’s phone number( in a sexy voice)!!!.., they went on for a bit, and then Sally said, 'Was it 45876? ' Debbie said, 'No of course it’s not!' Sally said to Debbie, 'Do you think Sarah Smiles would have it?’ And that's why Debbie phoned me up!! in quite a state!!.. 'Sarah,' she said, ‘this girl has just phoned me up and asked for Kev’s phone number.' I was just about hysterical but Debbie didn't hear me!. After Debby rang off Sally rang me back and she was just about hysterical as well!!!...( as well as Debbie she had phoned up one of our teachers as well. She said in a very country deep voice, ' Is that the gasworks' ' No!' Then she phoned up Kev and said,' Have you by any chance got Debbie’s number?' 'Uh who is this please?’ And i can’t remember what else she said.
