Diary of a Chav 6: Keeping it Real

9780340970652-1-21

Hi Shirazheads!

 

Just a reminder that my newest diary Keeping it Real is out NOW so if you haven’t already, make sure you grab a copy read it, bruv!

 

Here’s a taste of what it’s about.

 

Shiraz is nearly 19 and has been living away from home for the past few months but is now back in Goodmayes, Essex in her old cell-like bedroom plotting her future. She’s absolutely determined to get to college and get on her way to being a writer, who ACTUALLY GETS PAID this time! She knows she’s going to have to have a few words with Wesley about their future as he’s planning all sorts himself and it isn’t fair. Can she really contemplate a future without her lovely Wesley? But will he ever fit into her new life? Talk about a total quandary!

And while she’s mulling that one over her mum Diane drops a massive bombshell on the whole family and Shiraz’s life is suddenly turned upside down. Soon home in Goodmayes seems like the only place to be, surrounded by everyone she’s grown up with, people she loves to bits… Can Shiraz give up her dreams? Does she have to? Wait and see…

Learn some of my lingo!

OED

 

Greetings Shirazheads!

I hope all is good in your ‘hood! I get a lot of questions from fellow Shiraz-lovers about what certain words and phrases mean in my diaries, so anywayz I thought it wud b jokes to list a few in case you bluds don’t know some of ‘em. I’m doing it in dictionary-stylee to get me in the mood to write my Enlglish homework… I’ll post up some more soon!

BARE CHOONG (def): one of either sex who is extremely physically attractive; eg “That Wes is bare choong!”

 

BARE JOKES (def): very funny; witty; hilarious

 

BLUD (def): a term used in a familiar way to evoke a feeling of friendship amongst peers, though not to be used when having a conversation with your mother or father, Aunt Mabel, or Grandma.

 

BBRRRAPP! (def): an exclamation; either of astonishment or pleasure.

Laterz,

Snow Day!!

Snowman

Hi everyone, just have 2 say I am LOVIN’ the snow!! Had to stay at home all day as I was snowed right in by like 6 feet of it EVERYWHERE. I went out to the newsagent to stock up on emergency supplies of Fanta and nice ‘n’ spicy Nik Naks in the faint hope we’d all be snowed in for the rest of the week… sadly not the case… Later, I attempted to dress Penny up as a husky and tried to make her pull me and Carrie along in my battered old plastic sled in the park. I don’t think she was lovin’ that one bit, she just stood there and looked all forlorn at the other dogs who were running free. Anyone else have a day at home? What did you get up to?

 

PS to the rude-boys who attempted to throw an ice-ball at my head, Shiraz will wreak her revenge!! No one messes with the Shizzle Bizzle’s hair!!

 

Laterz blud,

Shiraz xxx

Santa Claus is comin’ to town!

Scary Santa

Sorry ladeeyz and gents, been a bit hush this month, been proper busy coz Santa Claus is comin’ to town. Christmas is proper slammin’! Shiraz Bailey Wood’s 5 favourite things about Christmas are:

1. Prezzies: Obvs. Well want some more bling, Elizabeth Duke has got some well good deals on, so hopefully my mate Santa has been hanging round Ilford mall. And obviously I want a new diary so I can keep all you dedicated fans up to date on the latest goings on in Shiraz-land…

 

2. Christmas TV: I’m most looking forward to Gavin and Stacey Xmas spesh, its well funny. Smithy is the funniest character ever, end of. Even Murphy likes it; he’s started calling me Shiz-la, and shouting about the house in a Welsh accent. And Doctor Who, tho it won’t be as good without Catherine Tate. Proper bovvered that she ain’t on it anymore.

 

3. Christmas No.1: Was proper obsessed with X-Factor this year, so hoping Alex Burke (unfortunate surname love) cruises to the no. 1 spot. Wish JLS had won it tho, they were all lush. Didn’t love them as much as Carrie tho, she only went and got a JLS hoodie online. Mental.

 

4. Decorations: Like bling for the house innit. Tho I think Mum’s gone a bit OTT this time round. Fairy Lights all over the outside of the house with a Santa climbing up the front Dad was well miffed about doing that, but Mum went off on one about this maybe the last time we’re all together in the house, so it had to be special.

 

5. Sales: Half price goods down Walthamstow Market. Nuff said.

 

Happy Crimbo everyone!!      Shiraz xxx

Poll results: Celeb Jungle

So it’s a tie as to whether you think the “I’m a Celeb Get Me Out of Here” line-up is brilliant or utter bottom-of-the-barrel-scrapage. I’m lovin’ it at the moment. Seeing David Van Day SCREAMING like Kezia’s baby Tiq when he was flushed into a cave swamp full of mini-crocs and eels nearly made me choke on my chicken Zinger it was so damn funny. Haha. I have to say I’d probably be the same if I had to be covered in goo or rats or chow down on a Witchetty grub. Baby Jesus in heaven, I think it would come out in reverse the second it went in. EWWW!!!
