A good week fororganising andplanning -particularly formaking travel plans.Be careful withmoney.

Fate struck me down lastSaturday ... or rather I strucka fete.Itwas one of those summerdays when the clouds look likewisps of white candyfloss andeverybody has ripped off theircardis and are displaying afair old proportion of suety-:white flesh.What a day to go a visitye olde English fair on ye oldeEnglish green, Ihought tomyself.So out came my safari suitand my white cricket shoesand Iwas ready for a sessionof coconut-shying and hoop-laostalls.RU D E AWAK EN IN GIwas just about to go outwhen the phone rang. It wasBrigid."How would you like toescort a beautiful young ladyto the fair this afternoon?"she asked, with a bit morecharm than usual."Sounds a good deal," Ienthused. My new suit neededan admirer. "Where is thislovely lass?"There was a stiffled snigger,and then, "Right here, Bugsy.I'm talking about me. I'mbored stiff, so Ithought I'dgive you the chance of alifetime, and let you take meout!"Icould hardly refuse thedear girl. Many's the time

she's amused me on a dullafternoon, squabbling withValli and generally making afool of herself!So the two of us arrivedat the fete. The very first

thing we set eyes on was a rowof bawling babies, done up infrilly bonnets and flowerydrawers. A baby contest!The poor judge (the localvicar of course) didn't quiteknow what end he wassupposed to be judgilng!UNL UCKY NUMB ER S!There were raffles galore, too,with masses of prizes - huge,fruity cakes, records, vasesand the most hideous-lookinggiant teddy I'd ever seen.Yellow it was . . . looked likeI it was recovering from a nastydose of jaundIce!Now, I'm not the kind ofperson who normally winsthings, but this time I thought

I'd have a go. Ieally fancieda few new records.Trouble was, they weren'tdrawing the raffle winnersuntil the very end of theafternoon, so Ihad to spendthe time amusing my pal.And what a state shelooked. She'd been at theapple-bobbing competitionand looked like she'd justcompleted a cross-Channelswim.Simple fun for simpleminds, Ihought to myself asI paced round the greenalready imagining myself withan armful of new albums tomy name.At last it was time for themto pick the raffle winners out

of the hat - and as theycalled each number out Ichecked my crumpled tickets."Number 173 has won therecords," the vicarannounced.A startled scream camefrom somewhere in the crowdand, next minute, blushingBrigid clambered forward tocollect her prize!But it wasn't over yet."Number 289 wins the thirdprize ... "Ilooked at my ticket.Number 289! Maybe I'd got

the fruity cake!But no chance. It was thegiant-sized teddy I'd won!And did I feel an idiot sittingnext to that on the bus home!See ya next week!

NOT TEACHER'S PETDear Sally, I bave a problemthat I find very tiresome. Lastyear in school Ihad a teacherwho didn't like me at all. Idon't really know why, but Iknow he likes to favour kids.For instance, one girl in ourclass gets all top marks fromhim. But Igot "satisfactory"for gym when Iknow I'mbetter. Iused to be one of thefour fast runners in my schoolwhere' we did proper physicalexercises instead of justvolleyball three times a week.Iook ballet as well and now Itake tennis.I don't really love him andhe knows it. In class I'vestopped working for himbecause Ifeel I don't get thegrades Iearn. Ionce wroteseven long pages on sillyquestions for some story and Igot the usual "satisfactory".

TOW I'm to have him as ahome room teacher. Iwant toget good marks, but how can Iunless Iollow him about likea faithful shadow pretendingto adore him all the timeinstead of just being goodfriends with him and actingnormal? Pink FanDear P. F .. r m afmid allthrough L~f"eyou' meetpeopLewho don't respondto you as you feel theyshould..I agree that it's unfairwhen a teacher showsfavouritism instead ojjudging studentsaccording to theirabilities. But it happens- in school, business, thearts - everywhere.People with Little abilityget ahead while otherswho are better qualifiedstay behind. (Not all ofthe time, of course!)So, in a way, this is akind of test for you to seeif you can remain true to

rite to

So .iust tell Robert howyou feel - that you'reueru fond of him butyou're just not ready tosettle down with anyonebou yet and you'd like todate others.. Lots of girls findthemselves in yoursituation simply becauseeveryone thinks if theylike a boy, they must gosteady. This shouldn't beunless you're absolutelycertain of your feelings.WORRIED ABOUTPERIODSDear Sally, Can smoking ,affect the age when you startyour periods? I'm nearly 15and haven't started yet. Idon't smoke heavily - abouttwenty a week - but I'mgetting quite worried.David Essex Fan, Lanes .Dear .D.E.F'., No,smoking has nothing todo with your periods. Itcan affect yourcir duuition as nicotinerestricts the veinssomeiohat, but don'tworry.Lots of (lirls who don'tsmok;e and are older than1 / 0 1 1 . haven't started. Justlet Mother Nature takener time.

It's a funny world ... full of joys, sorrows andproblems. And just when you think you'vesolved one, up comes another one! Nevermind, keep writing, and I'll see what I can do

uourself without lettingthis teacher's attitudea.frect you to the extentthat you sacrifice yourabilities.r don't Jeel you should(11 hetner he Likes you ornot) but for yourself. Youwork simply because it'ssomething you must do!A nd you do it to the bestof your ability. Nevermind about marks.You'[ be going on toother teachers who willappreciate you, and inthe end, this teacher willbe the Loser, not you.A DIFFICULT AGEDear Sally, I've been trying towrite this letter for months,and I'm not sure why I'mwriting it now. I know 13 issupposed to be a girl'sdifficult age, but Ithink I'vehad more than Ican stand.Ihave difficulties at homewith my parents, and myschool life also is verymiserable. My friends arevery kind, but I can't tell themany of my problems.I'm nearly 14 now, andsomehow Ifeel as if Ican'tlive another year like this one.Iknow. my family problemwill never be put right andthis makes me so depressedthat sometimes Ifeel likekilling myself.Ion't know if you can helpme, but Ifeel Imust dosomething to try and put mylife right before Idosomething I will never beable to put right again.Thank you for any help youmay give. Pink FanDear P.F., As you say,yon are indeed at adifficult age, when you'reextra-sensitive to things.HOIl ever, jdo think you need someextra help now and that

you should discuss yourproblems with someonewho has the sympathyand understanding tol1uide UOlL.If you don't beLong to achurch where you couldspeak with the minister,then ring up the socialservices department of'IIO?,I,rocalcouncil and teUthem you'd like to makean appointment with asocial worker.If this doesn't appeal touou, then you might trycalling the Samaritans.TheU have branc hes aUover the country and arealways available [or helpand auidance. (Thisyear the Samaritansanswered more catlsfrom teenagers than everbeiore.) You can get. their number fromdirectory enquiries.The most importantthing for you at this timeis not to continuechurning everythingaround inside of yow'selfhut to look for a wa~Jout.You'll need strengthand determination but Ifeel. you have tlwtatreaau.HOW CAN I TELL HIM?Dear Sally, My problem isthat I'm going with this boy,Robert, who I like a lot. Butanother boy, Trevor, basasked me to go out with him.Iwant to because Iike himvery much, too. But how can IteU Robert because he reallydoes love me?Please, please help me.Helen, Lanes.Dear Helen, The onway to be in this .is truthful - for nomatter how much you tryto cover things up, thetruth will come out in theend and someone isbound to be hurt.

Eve?' been on a blinddate?' Well, if youhaven't, take myadvice - and don't!

Ricb Experiencedoes it!Iwill never ever ever everon a blind date again. NotDoreen Harbottle hasto do with it.Imet her in a shop as it

happens. Iwas trying on someand she was on theother end- of my foot."You've got feet like myfriend Angela," she said."She's a traffic warden ... "Doreen asked me if l'd liketo go out with her and thesetwo feIlas one night."There's my boyfriend,Ted," she said, "and his mateRich.""What's he like?""Ooh, he's ever so tall an'he's got lovely blond hair -y'know sort of like RobertRedford - an' he's ever sostrong ... " ."Cor! This Rich sounds likekinda guy!"no, that's Ted notRich. Rich is (snicker)shorter ... "Came the big night and Iwas ready for action.Down at the cafe 1sawDoreen and this chap who wasobviously Ted. He looked likean ad for Mr. Universe and

kept bending the forks andspoons.Before Icould say,"Where's my lad then?", thislittle dark-haired objecthurled itself at my waist,shook my right knee and said,"Hello, I'm Rich!".There haven't been manytimes in my life when I've feltlike picking up a plasticketchup holder and rammingit down somebody's T-shirt, ..but I could've done it toDoreen then. Cheerfully.We went to the cinema. Thelady in the ticket booth.Rich half-price and

when he sat down anotheryoung man came and sat onhis lap because he hadn't seenhim.We went dancing.Rich and [ smooched whilsthe mumbled sweet nothingsinto my navel.We went back to Doreen'son the bus and the busconductor pointed at Rich andtold me to keep "sonny" fromsticking his chewing gumunder the seat. .We sal and drank somecoffee and I must say Richwas very entertaining. I'venever seen a nineteen-year-old suck his big tee before. Orlimbo under the teUy.A ll in all I can honestly sayit was one of the worstexperiences Iever had.Except for the time Jamierolled his trousers up.Rich had obviously enjoyedhimself though. He asked meout again. In fact, what hesaid was, "Brigid my littlecherry blossom, I have to seeyou again - I've fallen in lovewith your mohair jumper ... "I had to turn him down ofcourse. But I sent him myjumper and I hear they'rehappy together ...

Meanwhile, In TheBathroom ...What is it about bathroomsthat brings out the best (orworstt) in people?My flat-mate disappears inthere for hours on end andsings songs abouttit-willows' and things.When she comes out shealways says, "Do you know, Ithink Ishould've been anopera singer." And Ialwayssay, "Do you know, Ithinkyou need advanced brainsurgery. "Personally, Ilways get mybest ideas in the bath. Likedrowning myself.Seriously though, Ioftenthink up brilliant ideas for afeature or a book. And there Iam, up to my rosy ear-lobes infoaming green stuff, withflannels hanging soggilyacross various parts of myanatomy just in casesomebody should burst in andcatch meunawares-and nota typewriter in sight.I've tried scrawling thingson the bathroom mirror but itall disappears when the steamgoes.What I really need is asuper-bathroom with a goldtypewriter that slides out ofthe wall and dangles in frontof my famous fingers.Or perhaps a tape recorder.So that my wondrous thoughtscould be recorded forPosterity (whoever she is).Mind you, I'm not too surethat people would appreciatehearing about how Ithinkthey should make luminoussoap so you can find it in thebath. Or how I've discoveredthat if you slide up and downin the bath while the water's

gurgling out, you can loseinches off you bottom.What do you think? ".
