Dear Diary,
Mum said we can go to Russia in the summer holidays! She said we can't go at Christmas because it'll be winter and there'll be too much snow and wind. She said that when her and Dad are divorced and she has G-Erti she's going to set up a charter air company. I don't know what that is but it involves G-Erti and she said that Douglas will be one of our pilots and I can be an air-steward when I'm older. So I can be with Mum and Douglas and maybe even do the cabin address sometimes! Actually, she said Douglas will be the pilot is he promises not to do any smuggling because that will make her get in trouble too. And that she won't use Code Red very often with me unless it's very urgent. Mum says that she won't go on very many flights until I am older and can go with her. She says she doesn't want to leave me at home by myself and I don't want to stay with Dad for long times. She said Martin can maybe come on holiday with us, if it's okay with his parents. She's going to call the company MJN Air. She said the MJN stands for 'My Jet Now'. I think she's going to call it that to annoy Dad. I still have to wear my glasses at school but the boys have stopped pushing me over. And Martin has stopped bringing in ham sandwiches. He says he's sick of ham sandwiches and is going to keep buying food from town and sneaking out at lunch times. Douglas keeps coming over for dinner and I think he's going to be Mum's new 'significant other'. She seems happy when he's here. I looked charter air companies up on the internet, they sound fun. Sometimes there is only one or two passengers so the cabin crew just get to talk and watch all the clouds fly past. I'm looking forwards to being an air steward now. There's still boxes all over the house with 'Gordon' written on them. It doesn't feel like home with all Dad's boxes lying around. But Mum said he's going to pick them up soon.
Lots of love, Arthur.
