6. Write about a time when you were disappointed.

7. Crafting – not Making.
I have been disappointed many times in my life and today was no exception. Not only had my mother forgotten to sign the letter for the London trip (which meant that I now wouldn’t be going) but my sister had also used the last of my expensive moisturiser to go out with her loser boyfriend last night. Today was turning out to be one big disappointment! I really wanted that new pair of trainers but when I finally arrived in Sports Direct, they had sold out of my size. What a disappointment. Today wasn’t going my way. I don’t want to come across as some sort of spoilt child who always gets her own way. I don’t want you, reader, to think that I make a habit of ranting on like this. In fact, I want you to know that I consider myself to be a sane, rational and reasonable human being…most of the time. However, in life, bad things happen. Sometimes, really bad things happen! Today was one of those days. What happened? I hear you ask. Well, today I was to receive the greatest disappointment of my life.
