.....August 27th 2010

Mikey showed me up in front of his manager. Even though he knew he'd not got his promotion, he didn't tell me and so what did I do? Only go and make some stupid comment. When I asked him why he'd kept me in the dark, he said he'd been too cocky about it all and hadn't prepared for his interview and he was ashamed to admit it.

I suppose I was putting pressure on, even though I didn't mean to, because I was desperate for it to work out for him. He's clever and could do well if he put his mind to something. However, I wish he'd been more open about what had happened. Not only because we both would have been quite happy if Baxtergate had slid apart and swallowed us up but because we're meant to be in a relationship and sometimes it really doesn't feel like it. He does his thing as usual and I tag along.

The good news is, I've passed my GCSEs! Yay!

Name:
Izzy. Really it’s Isabella but who’s got the time to say that?

Status:
Single

Your life:
I’m single mum to my little girl Madison and studying for my GCSEs. I couldn’t do that at the same time as my mates because I was pregnant.

Loves:
Nights out in Donny, Indian food, reading (anything from Jane Austen to Spot the Dog with Maddie), my Ugg boots, having our own room.

Hates:
Laziness, people who judge you without knowing you, most boys!

Worst experience:
Growing up in and out of care.

Best:
The day my daughter was born.

Big ambition:
Going to uni to study English Literature. Other people with kids have done it. Why shouldn’t I?

Your take on housemates:
They’re the only family I’ve got now. But like any family they wind me up a lot! I’m like ‘hello, not all of us can spend all our time
partying’.
