u 16th Dec

Sorry for the delay ln posting these messages, but I think that the guards are are getting suspicious. They haven't actually body-searched Essex Giirl yet, but she's still hoping.

First today it was the turn of the p-terrorists who marched me up and down a flight of stairs and threatened to shoot me if I didn't move my feet and stick in the right sequence (stick-left-right going up, stick-right-left coming down).

Then they handed me over to the o-terrorists, who used me as slave labour in the kitchen - I was forced to make coffee (I know the Health Service is short of cash but . . .).

Then just to stop me getting too settled, they moved my bed - so I'll have to start a new escape tunnel. Btw for anyone with my bedside phone number, the last digit is now 2 (instead of 1).

The good news from the escape committtee is that the breakout's still on for next week, probably next Wednesday or Thursday.

Please swallow this message after reading - I'm sorry that it's written on paper that we make out of the senna tablets.
