Hansa’s Diary - 2007
Here's some of my diary entries from 2007. Happy reading!
Hello,
Today, I changed my name. Please call me Mrs Knight. As in, Michael Knight. As in Knight Rider. Heart Throb.
We cleaned the studio. I tidied the ribbon cupboard - I nearly got a pin stuck in my finger! Then, I had to clean Celestin's glue. Oh my God! I was so tired. It took a long time and lots of hard work, but now, my desk is sparkling. (look at the pictures)
After lunch, I made Christmas bags, with candy cane. I got a chocolate mouse and a strawberry sherbert from Angie. No Ready Steady Cook tonight. Pity.
Oh yes! I got an email from Angie Pangie's sister, Zita. She said "congratulations" for working with Angie. I know what she means...
Finally, I met Anil (my brother) with his girlfriend. She was beautiful and very nice. She had a pillow fight with Baru and Anil. I liked her.
That's all for now. Taxi's here!

Hello everyone!
I had a nice Diwali (that's the most popular Indian festival - see here for more info). We had fireworks in my house - well outside, in the garden of course! I wore an orange dress and we ate lovely food. I got lots of money and was playing cards with my Uncle and cousin and I went to bed at two o'clock in the morning!!!!
Today, Jagdeep, Zeeshan, Danny, Cornelius (Mr. Cookie) and Richard were here. We made ©Little Gifts of Christmas Cheer, Festive Fun and Hurrah Humbug! They smell of cloves and Christmas spice. Jolly Jagdeep was giggling and he ate stinky fish. He drank two cans of coke and wouldn't stop talking. Danny and Zeeshan were silent but deadly.
I like it when there's lots of people here. It's more fun.
I nearly forgot - I have been working here for over a year now. i can't believe it (Angie says: I can't believe it either!!!).
My Uncle, Baru's Dad, is in the hospital and I miss him. Get well soon Uncle!

Hello everyone - I'm back!!!
It's been a long time since I was last here, because Angie's house is like a bomb site! There is no kitchen anymore. And there was no bathroom. But now it's safe for me to be here, so I'm back. I was bored for those weeks! Soon, the rest of the Chain Gang will be back too. We have lots of work to do before Christmas.
It was colder inside the house today than outside, so we took a walk to the post office. It was very busy. Mr.s Datta was not there, just Mr. Datta, so he was working really hard. Mr. and Mrs. Datta are the people who run our post office. They are great. Hi there! We posted lots of ©Little Gifts of Feeling to some of our lovely customers. One was in Ireland, the others were in England.
We made ©Little Gifts of Happiness, because we are running out of them - everyone wants them! This month they are in Cosmo Bride, so lots of people are coming to us to get them for their weddings. Brilliant.
That's all for now. Taxi's here!
See you soon,

P.S. Today I have a secret message for someone special: I want to say that CK is a blue cow. You know what I mean.
Bonjour everyone! I went to Paris last week and someone said "Bonjour" to me. I said "Bonjour" back to him. He was laughing, I think he was in shock! I went to the Eiffel Tower, right to the top. All the cars were little. The houses were little. The trees were little. My cousin was too scared to go, but my mum said "you have to come" and then she was fine. We went to Euro Disney too. We went to the 3-D cinema and we had to wear funny yellow glasses. We were sitting down and in our legs we could feel that a mouse was crawling!!! My little cousin was scared he was crying. I was not scared and I was not crying. The we went on a train and we saw rainbows, sun, trees, it was cool. We saw lots of rides. Then we went to a French supermarket. My dad got some stuff, but I got nothing. I had my own capri-sun with me anyway, so I was fine. We went to the shops. We ate chips (pommes frites) and chopatis (my mum made them!). I had to drink lots of water beacuse it was so hot - it was not raining. Finally!
Today in work I made gifts and we went to the park - London Fields - to eat our lunch. There was lots of people in the park. We saw dogs, birds, squirrels and a juggler. There's a big swimming pool and a little swimming pool too. A little kid wanted to go swimming but he was wearing a nappy. Eugh! Ha ha ha!
Angie needs her ears cleaned because someone was shouting her name downstairs and she couldn't hear. I had to wake her up to tell her. Really, sometimes her brain is just not working...
Going home now to watch Ainsley on Ready Steady Cook.
Au revoir,
Hansa xx
Bonjour everyone! Ca va? moi, ca va bien, merci...
Today I was doing cards. Celestin and Danny were here too, so things were busy. I am practicing french coz I’m going to Paris. Myles was wearing red swimming togs at the weekend, so he looked like someone in Baywatch. Bonjour Mitch!!!
It’s Danny’s birthday tomorrow - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DANNY! He is such a hard worker. Celestin was doing jokes today again. He is nuts! A dingbat. He has sore teeth today too. Poor Celestin.
Our ©Little Gift of Happiness was in Spirit & Destiny Magazine. We want to get our photo into magazines, so please let me know if you’d like to take our photo!
See you soon,
Au revoir,

Hi there. This morning I was doing beads for Janine & Ross’s wedding invitations. I did 35 of them - the beads were so small and some of them disappeared... Under the table! My eyes were sore!
After lunch, I was packing cards. Some of the Chain Gang made mistakes with the envelopes, so I had to fix everything and then make sure all the cards were perfect. I liked peeling off the stickers at the end - it was making me laugh.
I’m going to Paris on my holidays. I’m learning french - Bonjour! Merci!
Au revoir for now. More news next week.

Hello everyone - it’s been a long time since my last diary. I’m very happy to be back! My own website is out of action at the moment, but it will be back up very soon. In the meantime, this diary will just have to keep you going...
First things first, my sister’s wedding was BRILLIANT. I did mendhi on my hands - there’s a picture for you, over there. On the right... I was wearing a sari - it was blue and it was bling! I had to wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning to get my hair done. I cried at the wedding. It was lovely. Now Rina and Suresh are gone to Dubai and I’m going to have my own room - yippee!!!!
Today in the Attic, we had a visitor - James. He was wearing yellow shoes... but we won’t hold that against him...
I practised beading for wedding invitations. I made myself a wedding ring! I think I have wedding fever this week...
Got to go now, Angie is driving me home. See you again soon,

Hi there. My sister Rina, my brother Anil and my sister’s husband went to India today. They will stay tomorrow night in a hotel and then they will go to India on Friday. They are going to go wedding shopping and I hope they will bring back nice presents!
Today at work we made lots of ©Little Gifts of Lust. Celestin, Zeeshan and Jagdeep were also working. Jagdeep had 2 cans of coke at lunch time!! He should be cleaning the toilets again today (we like to joke to him about this...), but there is too much other work for him to do. He likes talking but he tells terrible jokes (especially about Superman!!) He cheers us all up every time though.
Zeeshan got a cool haircut and was wearing a baseball cap. Nice Neil was with us from First Line and Angie is coming to meet everyone from First Line at Westham FC on Monday. Her husband can’t come because he’s working. Aw.
It’s a nice day today and the sun is shining, so it’s time to go home (and watch TV!!) See ya!
Hansa xxxxxxx (for Myles. He called me a double-dingbat, so I call him a seven-time-dingbat!!!)
Today we made lots of ©Little Gifts of Feeling. Jagdeep, Danny, Zeeshan and Neil were here today so we did lots of work. We made cards and envelopes too.
At the weekend, I went to a wedding. I was surprised when I saw Danny there! He was looking smart in his suit. (Danny says: I always look smart!!!). I was wearing a dress - it was pink and blue - my favourite colours.
Danny and I did a stocktake of all the bags and I was getting confused. I was!
Jagdeep was very tired, he kept yawning because he was up late working. We told him that he would have to clean the toilets today. He was not so happy about that - lucky, we were only joking.
That’s all for today folks. See you next time.

Today we were making envelopes. We put coloured papers into the envelopes and Zeeshan made stars. We also made bags of Salsa. There was a lady dancing on the bags. In the bags. Oh, whatever!
The most important thing about today is that I got a website all of my own!!! This is because I am so popular that I need more space of my own to do what I do. Hope you like it... Click here to visit my website
I’m going to my cousin’s wedding at the weekend. It’s going to be a bank holiday. I’m going to wear a Punjabi dress - it is long and light and lovely. I don’t know what colour yet. I’ll let you know next week.
I couldn’t stop talking about Angie’s husband and I saw him in her mobile phone. He looks like somebody in superman, except he doesn’t have underwear outside his trousers (Angie says so anyway).
I’m going home now to watch telly. The sun is shining and we should eat ice cream. That’s all for now. Until next time, Hansa xxxx
Hi everyone. Today I am tired! I made little parcels for a company called Roland. They make musical instruments. Inside the parcels were teabags, numbers, musical notes and elastic bands. There were some very big ones that made me laugh. The tissue paper was black and we put a smiley face on all of them. Very nice.
Now Tolu is gone, we have a new person working with us – his name is Neil. Today, Shuman came with us to the studio – he has funny hair. It sticks up and it’s kind of orange.
We had a nice wedding for my sister – Rina.We had a DJ and my sister was the first one to dance – with her new husband. We went to Oshiani (sp.?) and there was balloons, food, drinks, water. It was great!
That’s all my news for now. We have to phone a taxi to take me home to watch Ready Steady Cook – I don’t wat to miss my Ainsley!
See you next week. Hansa xx
Oh my God! It's been 4 weeks since Hansa’s last diary! We have been really busy, but that’s no excuse. Anyway, Hansa is back and here she goes…
Greetings Fans! This morning, I stuck on lots of labels for Ebba and Shawn’s wedding invitations. They are beautiful – you will see them on the new website soon. Lucky I have long nails, beacuse some of those labels were very hard to get off the paper… After that, I tidied the magazines and made a library. Then, I tided the cupboards. I was really busy. Angie – don’t mess them up! It took a lot of hard work you know!
I also tidied up all the other mess in the studio. I liked doing it, because I’m good at it. I help my Mum to tidy at home.
Big news – Tolu is leaving First Line. I’m gonna miss Mr. Cookie a lot. He is great. Thanks for everything Tolu xxx
Second big news – my sister is going to have a party on Saturday, because she’s going to the registery office to start her wedding stuff. All my cousins are coming from India on Friday. I have to go the airport to collect them. I have to get up at FIVE O’CLOCK!!!!! Better not be late.
So that’s all our news for now. Next week we have no work, because Angie is on holidays. She is so lucky because she’s going to New York with Myles. Oh no!
But the whole Chain Gang will back in two weeks. See you then!

There were lots of us working in the Chain Gang today, so we all sat round the big table. I sat in Myles’ chair and couldn’t stop giggling! We had a new team member (Danny) and an old one who’s come back (Julie) – I’m still the boss though. They were both good workers, but made too much noise putting marbles into bowls! We made lots and lots of gifts today – Little Splashes of Splodge – and I used all the pink bags and pink stickers, because I love pink.
I got my birthday present, but am waiting to open it at home, and a cool card with Superman on. We had birthday cakes with candles and everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to me. I gave Tolu a samosa from my lunch and he wanted some of my spring roll too – don’t you start!
Our taxi’s here now, so time to go.

PS – I am looking forward to getting a new website. I’m going to have a nfty page on it. Let me know if you’d like us to tell you when it’s ready…
Today I made accordions and lots of little bags of love. They have chocolate kisses, rose, feathers and chillis in – to make things hot! I also put some glitter in, to make things sparkle.
Kate came for an interview last week, then today she was here for the first time and was much too noisy! Last week we forgot to do my diary, because we were too busy having fun – sorry……
On Friday, I’m going to go to the National Wedding Show with Angie and all the gifts I made. My sister’s going to come too, because she’s getting married. I had my picture taken today, with a big smile, for my ID for the show (and I giggled lots!).
Got to go now – more soon.

Joke from George: “What did the biscuit say when it got knocked over?”
…“Oh, crumbs!”cmas cards hansa focus
Hi there everyone, I’m sorry that I didn’t do my diary last week, but I was just too busy! We were very busy today too. We were making ©Little Gifts of Love for Valentine’s Day. We put in chilli – to make things HOT! Love hearts, glitter and feathers for tickling. I enjoyed making these gifts.
My mum brought me to work on the bus. She is VERY KIND. Another young lady joined us today. She is Niecey, Angie’s sister. She ate two kisses – the greedy guts! I brought crisps for everyone – my cousin made them and they were very tasty. Charlie was here too – he was sewing.(Note from Niecey – Hansa was very shy as soon as the boys came!)
Next week Celestin is coming back. I will be the boss – so DON'T YOU START!

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you had a good holiday. I had a LONG holiday and i watched a lot of TV… I went to machester to see my cousin and it was good fun. My sister got engaged and next year she’s going to get married. Maybe I will make her invitations for her – if she is nice to me! I had a Christmas party at First Line Supported Employment Services (they are the ones who arranged this great job for me!) and I got cool presents – a radio and a hairbrush and I gave chocolates to Tolu. I gave him a whole box and he wanted another one – he is so greedy!
Today, apart from the giggling, I made a card for my sister. I was doing lots of things with crystals, making lovely pictures and stuff. This was practice for making real cards.
In February, we are going to the National Wedding Show. I hope to be there on Friday, February 23rd, so do come along and say hello. I’d love to see you.
Tolu’s here, got to go, talk to you next week! xx Hansa
