Alright loves? I’m Paige.

And I’m Millissa.

And we’re going to tell you a bit about our lives.

The only time we like being around here (Hartfliffe) is on a Friday and a Saturday night.

Because everyone goes out at night and has a laugh. Otherwise than that it’s, like, pretty rubbish.

I live in Whitchurch , but I come down here because all my friends are down here and everything.

And I live in Withywood but I come down ‘cause all my friends are here.

We have known each other for ages – all our lives. We were born in the same ward in thhe same week; Paige was born three days after me.

Ha ha!

Our mums put us in the same cot and we’ve been friends ever since. We will be friends for ever, hopefully.

Yeah we will. I always know that I can fall back on Milli and she will always be there for me. She’s funny, mad, caring, always there – she’s been like a sister to me. She’s been there when no one else has. I love her. She’s my little angel.

Well I’ve known Paige all my life so I class her as family. I really don’t know what I’d do without Paige – she’s always there when you need her, and when you’re down she can always put a smile on my face. She’s a little stunner. I don’t know what I’d do without you, and I love you to bits.

And I don’t know what I’d do without you either. Love you too.

Anyway, the place thay we’ve been on about, like, that we come down to and that is Hartcliffe and is, like, where loads of people hang around.

Where we all meet.

We go to Withywood school, and it’s pretty shit. It’s alright sometimes but…

It’s more of a social club…

…than as school, as far as our mates are concerned.

Well, we’re going to leave it ther e but, I hope you like the rest of our pictures.

Bye [blow kisses]
