Monday June 1st My father had a letter that made his face go white: he has been made redundant from his job! He will be on the dole! How can we live on the pittance that the government will give us? The dog will have to go! It costs thirty-five pence a day for dog food, I am a single-parent child whose father is on the dole! Social Security will be buying me shoes! Wednesday September 9th My father can easily spare a hundred pounds. His redundancy payment must have been huge, so why he is lying on his bed moaning (стонать, охать) I don’t know. He is just a mean skinflint! He hasn’t paid with real money anyway! He used his American Express card. Wednesday March 3rd I had to lend my father enough money for a gallon of petrol, he had an interview for a job. My mother cut his hair and gave him a shave and told him what to say and how to behave. It is pathetic to see how unemployment has reduced my father to childish dependence on others. He is waiting to hear from Manpower Services. Friday March 5th He got it!! He starts on Monday…. He is in charge of a gang of school-leavers. To celebrate he bought my mother sixty «Benson and Hedges» and himself sixty «Player’s» (сорт сигарет). I got a family pack of Mars bars.
