Part 2: 2nd diary entry by Pip
Life does seem to get better and better. Moving to London was one of my life time dreams when I was young and it came reality today when I was sitting in my flat in London. I was a bit upset of leaving sister back home but you got to move on and leave things to get somewhere in life. When I got to London the surrounding and atmosphere around me felt like I was in just at home. When I got to my flat it did feel little down as it felt like it was a middle class’s flat with it having the surrounding as Joe Gargery Home.
The flat that I am living at is shared by another boy named Herbert who’s nice and want be problem to live with. I wanted to leave that middle class of living behind me and move on and live my dreams. As today’s day progressed I wish Estelle could see what I have come of my self and see me live this high class life in London.

Being a dramatic day the time pasted us today as it was day not to remember. I decided to start the day with refurbishing the whole flat. Following the incoming I got yesterday and felling that came in the direction of me I decided it had to change before it felt back at home with Joe Gargery and family. I transformed the whole flat from a working class mans flat to a high class flat with everything being to my satisfaction. It felt like I was worthy to be called as a high class man. Even Herbert was astonished to what a change had happen to the flat.
Another spectacular change came to the day as we were wondering through London and saw a gentlemen’s club which me and Herbert invited are self to which ended up me and Herbert becoming members of this gentlemen’s club called “The Finches of the Grove”. The Gentlemen’s Group is great and atmosphere and is as just what I thought of London. At the gentlemen’s group we drank expensive wine but the wine just didn’t feel right its taste was like it was cheap but I was getting a bill which I was paying for the most expensive wine in the Gentlemen’s group I could get. After coming out of the Gentlemen’s group we raced around London in over carriages. In over carriage it was me and Herbert and we were racing another friend which we met at “The Finches of the Grove”. When we were racing a spectacular event happened when we took a turn in the road we hit into another carriage which left us in trouble and us paying a big fine to the folks we hit into. Today was a dramatic day and am glad its over and looking forward for tomorrow.
Part 4: 4th diary entry by Pip
Today was a hard hitting day with having an awful headache and being stressed with the debt that I and Herbert had come to. I didn’t realise that it will come to such a point that I will be in debt after all I had inherited so much money but there only being certain amount of money I can have a week it has become problem. I and Herbert sat down today and try to work out were we spending lot of money and went through the bills where we could save money. We decided that we spend less in the “the Finches of the Grove” and were thinking of getting rid of the servants but we decided to keep hold of them for the time being. Even after working out were to spend less it was not still working we were still in debt and getting relieving the servants would mean doing all the work over self and want look so good when we walk in the streets of London. Today has been hectic and I just can’t wait until the end of the week to get paid and then I can start spending money in the places I want to.
Part 5: 5th diary entry by Pip
Today was just awful and humiliating for me. After leaving Joe and family I thought I want see them again and will be able to live peacefully in London but today I had an uninvited guest which I was not ready for him to ruin my life in London. It was Joe Gargery. I and Herbert were just lazing around the flat just getting ready to go “the Finches of the Grove” when we had knock at the door I told the servant to answer it and was told it was a member of my family at this point I felt shiver run through my spine I was thinking who it could be. When Joe Gargery walked in i felt all the atmosphere change and what ran through my mind was what will Herbert think of Joe as he was dressed up as common working man. To make the visit short I took Joe in the other room and talked to him. It was just general talk about what he and sis were up to. Getting bored I made the excuse of me and Herbert were on over way out and you have disturbed us. Joe Knowing I was bored of him he decided to leave. I was just glad that he made his visit short and no one from the gentlemen’s club came around to the flat. Today has been awful and am delighted Joe made his visit short.
