God, I missed hanging out with Tilly. Usually it's every single day that we see each other so going over a week without seeing each other was a literal nightmare. I'm pretty sure we stayed up all night talking and laughing and basically winding my mum up so much it got to a point where she just stopped coming in to shush us.

Tilly has been talking to a boy on this new chat app called TeensChat. His name is Jack, apparently. All I know is that they haven't video chatted yet, which was totally up to Tilly because she's like me, Uncle Zane, a little bit insecure and introverted. Aren't they the best, though? She said once she feels more comfortable she will. I am so happy for her though because she barely gets any recognition due us being basically invisible to the male eye. You've met Tilly loads so you'll probably agree with me when I say she's beautiful. Her hair is so thick and her curls are to die for. I'm just so lucky to be able to have her as a friend.

Regardless of us not being as popular, Tilly always keeps up with trends and what not. She watches endless videos on YouTube on hair and makeup tutorials, hence why she is always stunning. After so many attempts to teach me to do the same, she gave up, as did I! I'm just a plain Jane, or plain Octavia. I like it that way.

I decided to sign up for the chat thing anyway. You just confirm your interests and that's how you can chat to people who are similar to you. You can cap your age limit as well, so it is pretty safe. I'm not worried about any weirdos. So yeah, I'll just wait until someone tries talking to me as I can't make the first move. That would make me look like a weirdo!

My bedroom is also complete! Thankfully by the time Tilly came to stay the smell of paint had pretty much gone. Now I have beautiful pastel pink walls; white furniture; an incredibly soft fluffy rug, and like I said before: a million and one cushions on my bed. Mum said she's going to get my fairy lights at some point this week coming so that'll be it then.

I'm pretty tired now so I'll probably spend the rest of today, and most likely tomorrow, recuperating from the lack of sleep.

Bye! ✌️
