12th September 2007
My wedding pics are in this week's OK magazine! Go and get it!!!! The happiest day of my life!! Red dress, sexy bridesmaids, gorgeous groom & tons of emotion!
Just a quickie to say that I am deeply sorry to Ok Magazine for what I said about them on the wonderful show that was "Totally Jodie Marsh" - I wasn't just having a bad day, I was having a bad 6 months (all that to come in good time........). I'm also sorry if I offended any of their readers.
Now...... get your bums off your seats, get to your nearest newsagents and get yourself this week's edition of Ok cos mine and Matt's wedding photos are in there! It's a huge spread with tons of pics that span from the actual ceremony right up to the party in the night time. My favourite pics are: the one of us kissing on page 92 (that was our real first kiss as husband and wife ie. the bit where the registrar says "you may now kiss the bride") and I love the really big pic on page 95 - it was taken just as we were about to say our vows. Oooh I also love the pic of my dad giving his speech and the pics of our families and the pic of Dave Courtney and his wedding present to us and I love the pic of us with Syd Little on page 101. Sod it..... I love all the pics. I love my dress, I love how handsome Matt is, I love how sexy my bridesmaids look and how smart the ushers look. I love the fact that all the guests are dressed in black and white and I love how natural and beautiful all the pics are.
Ok mag - my wedding pics - this week!!!!! Out now..................

The truth about my "P.A" and the other weird bloke who "worked" for me........
I would just like to say a few words.....
In tonight's episode of "Totally Jodie Marsh, Who'll take her up the Aisle?" my "P.A" Stephen acts like he's hard done by and like he's being treated badly. He even makes a huge deal out of the fact that my husband Matt didn't thank him in his speech after we were married. Gordon (who is a friend of Stephen's) claims that Matt and I were engaged from the start of this show and also that Matt was on the insurance for my car from the beginning too.
Here are the hard facts:
Stephen was paid by Zig Zag (the production company who made the TV show) to be my P.A for the duration of the show. He was paid to do a job. About 2 months ago I bumped into a friend of mine called Nick who has organised lots and lots of celeb weddings. I asked Nick if he would organise my wedding and Nick said yes. Stephen then begged me not to hire Nick. Stephen begged me to let him organise the wedding. In the end (and with Stephen close to tears) I relented because I felt sorry for him and said "ok babe but it's going to be hard work!" He was over the moon. He WANTED to organise my wedding and he was being paid by Zig Zag.
Matt didn't thank him in his speech because Matt hardly even knew Stephen. After the boys had met each other a few times, Matt and I were then horrified to hear Stephen being extremely nasty about Matt (on film - as was shown a couple of episodes ago). It is traditional for the groom to thank the bride, bridesmaids & ushers in his speech, it is not traditional for the groom to thank a P.A who was paid to do a job (and who has been slagging the groom off publicly).
I met Gordon about a month or so into filming when Stephen brought him in to help out (at least I think that's why he was there). I have no idea whether Gordon was paid to work for the show or not. I certainly did not pay him, nor did I ask him to work for me. It is NOT TRUE that Matt and I were engaged from the beginning and neither is it true that Matt was on the insurance for my car. I have the documents to prove this as I only put Matt on the insurance for my car 2 days ago (after we were married).
As for Stephen and Gordon going on about all the free stuff we got for the wedding; it is true that we got lots of things for free, but we also paid for a lot of things too (as did my parents). The things we got for free were either offered to us or Stephen arranged them (ie. we didn't actively go out looking for free things). Since the wedding; myself, my mum, my dad and Matt have tried calling Stephen up to 25 times a day (and have left numerous messages) only to be totally ignored. All we want from him are the contact details for the people that gave us stuff for free so that we could write them all a personal thank you and give them a public thanks on here (my website). Since Stephen still refuses to answer his phone to any of us (and will not give us the details of people to thank) I have now decided to devote the next whole week tracking everyone down who helped us out.
Lastly I do want to say a gigantic thank you to all those who helped with our wedding (those who did it out of the kindness of their hearts and not because they were being paid or because they wanted to be famous).
The full list of all the people who supplied things for the wedding will be on this site this week so watch this space. I intend to bust a gut finding every single one of them.

MTV Blogs: Post Wedding
Matt "the one"
I think you just no don’t you when you meet the one. I’m happy with him, he’s all the things I want in a man, He’s better than any man I’ve ever been with before. He’s the person I see myself growing old with and having children with. He’s everything I want in a man, up until now there’s always been things, I look at past boyfriends and there’s always lots and lots things that are wrong with them or I think oh god their not good enough or whatever and there’s honestly nothing I can say that isn’t good enough everything about him is brilliant and what I want.
Feelings on doing the show
Well looking back on it I think had I not been duped into doing a show that wasn’t what I thought it was in that I thought that MTV were paying for the wedding, because MTV have got so mush control over the wedding I thought they were paying for the wedding and they weren’t, that was something I wasn’t aware of. I’m not… I don’t have any regrets over it happening so quickly because actually it’s just made it all the more exciting. I’m in a room with my dresses in and the bride’s maid’s dresses are here. I can't even tell you how excited I am and actually I wouldn’t have it any other way. In the initial stages I would have made sure that I read the contract before it had been signed on my behalf so I don’t have any regrets but I just think it’s a valuable lesson in life to always read the contract and don’t let anybody else sign it on your behalf because things don’t always go your way when that happens.
Dorian & Eddie
I probably won't be seeing Dorian & Eddie again not because I don’t like them I think they’re really nice guys but obviously being that they were competition for my fiancée out of respect for my husband I just don’t think it would be a good thing to do. I just think I wouldn’t want him being in touch with other girls he had dated in the last three months so out of respect to Matt I wouldn't do that.
Budgets
The budgets only been an issue because as I say MTV want control of what’s happening. Basically they wanted full control over who I married, where I married him and everything else. Because of that I don’t want to pay for it myself that’s why there’s no budget and the only budget we’re working with is the budget that MTV has given us. We’re doing it that way because if I can’t have control of it myself I’m not going to pay for it my self. It’s me throwing my toys out of the pram and going if I can’t control it I’m not paying for it. We’re working with that ten grand and actually it’s worked my wedding ring is worth £12.000. It’s a diamond and platinum ring and we’ve got all these things for free so generosity of people that stepped in and said that we’ll make you these things, you know we’ll make you a wedding dress, we’ll make you a wedding ring and it’s all been for free. It’s actually saved me £100,000 cause all the things we’ve got you know the marquee and decoration and food and everything else we’ve got for free had we paid for it we probably would have totalled about £150,000. So by stamping my feet and refusing to pay for it I’ve managed to get £150,000 worth of stuff for free that I would have paid for had I had control of the day. So it’s worked out for the best so I’m still having my perfect day but not paying for any of it.
Magazine deals
All the papers and magazines are now fighting for pictures and they desperately want it because of the ratings and things have been so huge on the show. We’ve done a deal with one off deal with one person who’s taking all of our pictures and has sold them to somebody so I’m not telling you any more than that. So we’ve got a deal and as I knew would happen all the papers and magazines now want the photos because it’s been such a huge show.
Wedding dresses
I’ve got two neither of which is traditional, their both beautiful and my perfect wedding dress so I couldn’t pick one or the other because their both absolutely gorgeous therefore I’m wearing two
Thanks to my surportive friends
Everyone in life can count their true true friends on one or two hand. All my actually true close friends are over the moon for me. I don’t know what other people think because they haven’t been there to see how me and Matt are together but my true friends, the people that count and my family are over the moon completely happy, love Matt to bits, think that we’re the most suited couple ever in the whole world. That’s it it’s brilliant and perfect.
Organizing
We have and it’s all done and as we speak now its all being decorated so it’s all coming together it’s going to be amazing. If anything goes wrong on the day it will be something that MTV or the production company have sabotaged because nothings going to go wrong through any fault of mine or the people around me. It’s all in place already all there and done.
A message for the media
I think the ratings speak for themselves, I just think that anyone who’s ever doubted me or anyone who’s ever thought that I’m not worth while entertainment should have a look at the ratings, I think you’ll find there pretty good.
Celebs at the wedding
I’m not doing the whole rent a celeb thing which other celebs do, where they just pay or beg other celebrities just to get them to make an appearance at their event. I’m not doing that so the celebs that are coming are real true friends of mine. We’re taking Sid Little from Little and Large who I did trust me I’m a holiday rep with, Lindsey Dawn McKenzie who has been one of my closest friends and I’m godmother to her son. Their not mega A list faces but their people who are good friends of mine. I’m not going to invite people who are random just for the sake of having a famous face here.
I think you just no don’t you when you meet the one. I’m happy with him, he’s all the things I want in a man, He’s better than any man I’ve ever been with before. He’s the person I see myself growing old with and having children with. He’s everything I want in a man, up until now there’s always been things, I look at past boyfriends and there’s always lots and lots things that are wrong with them or I think oh god their not good enough or whatever and there’s honestly nothing I can say that isn’t good enough everything about him is brilliant and what I want.

MTV Blog: posted 22/08/07 The pain of laser surgery!
My finger is feeling a lot better after laser surgery. The one you saw on telly was my second treatment and I’ve got my third one coming up soon. It really hurts and continues to hurt for two weeks after then it settles a bit but is still tender; I mean you’re getting it burnt of with a laser! I’d still get more tattoos but I’ll definitely think more carefully about what I’ll get as before I just thought if I don’t like it I’ll just get it removed but now I don’t want to go through that pain again!
MTV Blog 21/08/07 Dating advice for all you boys - listen up!!
I’m a dating expert now!!! I’ve been on so many dates that I could talk forever about it. My advice to men would be just be yourself at all times. Don’t be cocky or arrogant or flash and act as you would if you weren’t on a date. If she likes you, she likes you and if you stay together and get married then you’ll be together for ages and she’ll eventually see you for who you really are. She’ll see the real you sooner of later and if she doesn’t like you, you’ll split so why not be yourself from the beginning? And make sure you show her a good time!!
For the perfect date don’t go to the cinema or a restaurant, do something you really enjoy and whatever you’re most into. It’ll tell if you’re compatible. For example I love animals so I took one guy to the zoo where we could feed the lions. The guy chickened out and that told me everything I needed to know about him. He was scared and I knew he wasn’t right for me cos I love animals so mush! I think he made a massive mistake by not getting involved cos he could see that I was having the time of my life and he was being a wimp!!

MTV Blog 16/08/07: Spoilt for choice! Not 1 fit man but 3!!!
Well, my search proves that if you look high and low you will find people who are suitable to you, it’s just a case of finding them! That’s what I wanted to prove from the beginning, that you don’t just have to sit in and wait for the perfect man to come along, you can go out and find him.
I’m spoilt for choice cos I’ve got Matt who’s really similar to me. He’s fun, passionate, fiery and he says no to me all the time. I hate men who just say yes to everything. Then there’s Dorian who is a real life action man. He can do anything and nothing fazes him. He’s a real gentleman. And finally Eddy who’s so cute!! He’s good fun, loving, quite young but really cute!!

MTV Blog 16/08/07: Paddy & Lyla's wedding outfits revealed!!!
I’m still not giving anything away about my wedding dress but I will give you a hint and say I have two! I’m not saying if I’ll be wearing both of them though… I can tell you what my dogs will be wearing though! Paddy will have a bow-tie on and Lyles will be wearing a floral headdress! They’re two of the most important people in my life and will be playing a part in the wedding but I don’t know exactly what role they’ll play yet.
You may have seen in the last episode the registrar’s attitude to my wedding when my PA Stephen rung her. I think her reaction is what most rational, normal people would think when they’re told that I’m getting married but have no groom. It doesn’t matter though cos I’m not going to be using her cos of her narrow-mindedess so she’s the one who’s lost out cos this is going to be the most fun wedding ever!! The registrar I have booked is incredible! She’s wicked and really beautiful so it all worked out for the best.
I’ve invited about 100 people to my ceremony. It’s going to be a small thing in the day and then I’ve invited loads more for my party in the evening, which is going to be massive!! I feel really special with being only the second bride to get married on live tv. I’m loving it! It’s different, unique and exciting and a good story to tell my grandkids. As far as I know no one else other than Prince Charles and Diana can say they got married on live tv!
And there definitely won’t be a problem with press at my wedding cos Dave Courtney and 50 gigantic men will be surrounding the venue. God help anyone who tries to case any trouble on the day!! In fact I’d love to see someone try purely to see what Dave would do. I mean you wouldn’t mess with him, he’s the one who did the Kray Brothers funeral!! He’s one of my best friends and I’ve known him for 15 years and there’s no way he’d let anyone ruin my wedding.

MTV Blog: 23/07/07 Booking Band Dramas
I’ve booked Ocean Colour Scene and am trying to get a few more acts together as I want the night to be like a mini concert. I know the boys from Ocean Colour Scene really well and they’re doing it for free as a wedding gift to me! They’re one of my favourite bands so I’m over the moon.
Stevie, the other guy I’ve got to help and me are all trying to book other acts but everyone’s busy as it’s such short notice. I tried to get Chas and Dave but they’re already booked on that night. It might end up being a mini concert with just Ocean Colour Scene but it’ll still be good!

MTV Blog: 17/07/07 Dinner dates, models and dating in disguise
Auditions are all over but I’m meeting men in every other way I can. I’m going to a dating agency which sets people up on a dinner dates. There’s five men and five girls and even though you’re all strangers you’re not really cos we’ll all be having dinner. It’s kinda like speed-dating but not.
I’m still getting set up by pals and going on blind dates. I spent one day stood outside a model agency and met a guy who came out of the building. He’s rather gorgeous so I’m seeing him this weekend.
I’ve also been going out in disguise! I spent yesterday in Covent Garden with my friend pretending to be talent scouts and stopping men. I met a gorgeous guy and am going for a date with him soon but cos I was in a massive afro wig when I met him, he doesn’t know it’s me! In fact I’m going to a party this weekend in disguise. Wish me luck!

MTV Blog: 10/07/07 Changing my surname.......
I always thought I’d double-barrel my name so it would be Jodie Marsh-whatever but the more it goes on the more I realise I want it to be as real and traditional as possible. If the man of my dreams arrives then I’ll definitely be taking his name.
MTV Blog: 06/07/07 ARGGH i'm SOO busy!!
I’ve never been so busy or so stressed in my life! I’m organizing the whole wedding myself but I think I’m going to get some wedding planners. I’m basically doing in a few weeks what most brides take a couple of years to do! Luckily I have my PA Stevie who is helping out!!!
I’ve also been phoning my exes to chat chat and see where I went wrong in my relationships with them. I want to find out what was good or bad about going out with me in the hope that I can address the issues when I am with someone who I not just think I’m in love with but actually AM in love with.
Oh and i'm designing my own wedding dress myself and having someone make it. It’s nowhere near ready as I haven’t even got the material yet!

MTV blog: 04/07/07 Hypnotherapy and life coaches
I went on Tonight With Trevor McDonald to have hypnotherapy to give up smoking but have now stopped. Hypnotherapy didn’t work but I’ve managed to give up by using willpower alone!
I’ve also been to see a life coach, which has been really good. I’m trying to work out what’s gone wrong in the past and to see whether I’ve been a good girlfriend. It’s certainly given me more to think about! It’s not something I need to do but it’s interesting to find out a bit more about me and why certain relationships haven’t lasted.
Love and snogs and puppy dogs

MTV Blog 02/07/07 A New Man!!
I’ve fallen out with the guy I really liked from the Sheffield audition. We had loads of arguments and were not getting on. He was just being a typical man and a bit of a dick so I haven’t seen him for a while.
I’ve been on loads more dates and have met another bloke that I’m interested in and it’s Chesney Hawkes best friend! Chesney set us up cos he knew we’d get along as we have similar likes and dislikes so we’ll see how it goes.

MTV Blog 28/06/07 I'm scared about my hen night!
I’m scared about my hen party cos my friends can be right sods! I just want a good night out. Ideally we’d do something during the day and then go out for a good night out. I don’t want it to be tacky and don’t want strippers but it’s inevitable that I’ll end up with some.
27th June 2007
I'm STILL looking for a hubby! Come on you boys - stop being wet! Ooooh, i'm all over the TV at the moment and I've nearly killed someone (but not for the reason you might think).....
Oh my goodness I HATE myself for not having written for so long. The problem is that I've got a film crew from MTV with me 24/7, I'm less than 3 months away from my wedding, I still don't have a boyfriend LET ALONE husband-to-be, I haven't got a dress or flowers or photographer sorted and to top it all off I've given up smoking!!! Hell yeah folks, the Marsh is smoke-free!!! After fifteen years of 40 a day, I am completely off the cancer sticks!!! Well done me.............
Ok, on the plus side I HAVE booked Ocean Colour Scene to play at the wedding, Leigh Francis (aka Avid Merrion from Bo Selecta) is going to be the Master of ceremonies at the wedding (dressed as Keith Lemon) and today I got given thirty, yes thirty, free hats from an amazing hat designer!!!!!
Since I last wrote I have been on loads more dates (including one with a very nice footballer - God, never thought I'd ever say those words in the same sentence "nice" and "footballer"!!! ha ha). I have enlisted the help of Chesney Hawkes to find me a bloke (he knows lots of entrepreneur types - apparently a match-maker told me the other day that I NEED an entrepreneur - blokes with normal jobs will just always be too intimidated by me - NOT my words - I still want a handsome builder!!!!) and my mates are rallying round setting me up on blind dates! I've explored (or am about to explore) every single way of meeting men (on their own and in large groups) and I have called up lots of my ex's to find out just where I went wrong in past relationships. It's been emotional.......................
To be honest, it is 10.30pm and I have only just sat down for the day (after a very long day at work). The last thing I want to do is write a really long blog so I'm not going to twitter on. I do however want to tell you that this Friday at 8pm on ITV is the Tonight with Trevor Macdonald show which follows my journey in giving up smoking. If there's anyone out there who wants to give up (I wanted to give up before the ban) or who has just given up and needs inspiration then have a watch. It's me and a girl called Lucy who plays one of the Dingles in Emmerdale. If you don't care about smoking or about the ban then just watch it anyway to see me totally lose my marbles!!!!! I got asked by a journalist today if I had found it easy giving up and I replied "I've run someone over in my truck (on purpose), I've stabbed someone, my parents have disowned me, my brother has left the country (I'm not joking - he's in Italy) and one of the guys who had been potential husband material walked away this week telling me he never wants to see me again - other than that I'm OVER THE MOON that I've given up and my life is F*CKING GREAT!!!!!!!"
Ooooh also on the plus side MTV have started showing the adverts for my show "Totally Jodie Marsh" and they look great!!! I find that every time I'm at home I have MTV playing on all my TV's in the hope of seeing one of the ads (there's about 8 different ones). Loving that - never thought I'd see the day that one of the biggest and best channels EVER plasters my name across it's screen (and to advertise my own show no less!) Am absolutely loving every second of it!!!!!
So, I'm going to go now - bed and a dvd beckons. The website www.marryjodiemarsh.com is still up and running so if there are any men out there who think they've got what it takes to become Mr Jodie Marsh then get on it and send me a pic!!! I've got my new P.A Stevie checking the applications every day and then passing on to me anyone who looks half-decent! I've got about 6 dates left to go on this week and I'm free all next week (and open to offers)! Get applying boys if you think you're man enough!!!!
Don't forget to watch Tonight with Trevor Macdonald this Friday night at 8pm on ITV and keep an eye out for my MTV ads cos they're wicked!!!!!!!
Love and snogs and puppy dogs

MTV Blog 25/06/07 I DON'T have a boyfriend, despite what certain papers say.
There are rumours flying around that I have a boyfriend already, complete bollocks! I can prove it. The guy I got photographed with is the guy who flew in to meet me from Japan and I can get his flight ticket to prove that he was in Japan when the tabloids said we were meant to have been together. I had been chatting to him online and hadn’t even met him before then so he definitely isn’t my boyfriend.
MTV Blog 25/06/07 I've met so many amazing men already!! I'm soooooooo happy
Ok so the search is harder than I thought it’d be because I’ve discovered that I’m taking it seriously and I want to find true love. It’s hard work to find someone amazing, there have been lots of nice men but few I would want to spend forever with,. I’ve found my standards are higher now as with previous boyfriends I didn’t really have any. But this is marriage and not a fling so I’m taking it more serious and my standards are rising. I’ve learnt a lot about myself. It’s good cos I’ve met a couple of amazing men and its hard cos it’s quite emotional. There was this one great guy from Sheffield and one who flew in all the way from Japan, which was quite amazing!! There have also been a couple of crazy people, but crazy in a good way! They’re good nutters like the guy who came in and stripped until he was practically naked! I’ve also been serenaded a few times, I think they might’ve been in the wrong audition and thought they were trying out for X Factor! They were all fun and entertaining though and broke up the long days.
Still looking though.

MTV Blog 25/06/07 I'm getting married!!!!
I want to get married now as I’m getting older and all my friends are getting married and having babies and I’m not any closer to doing that. I was sat in my home in Brentwood when it suddenly struck me that I might never find the one while I’m sat at home, it’s not likely he’ll come knocking at my door. I thought if I travelled the country I’d meet more men and hopefully find someone amazing so that’s how I came up with the show idea. I want to find my soul mate. He’s got to be a real man and want the same things as me and love me more than he’s loved anyone before!
My friends and family think it’s a good idea and are totally behind me. My best friend and brother have been coming to the auditions with me and I’ve been speed-dating too! It’s great cos they take it as seriously as I do and have been giving the men a damn good grilling. They like one of the guys and keep raving about him. We’ll see how it goes…

19th May 2007 - If you want to marry me (or just meet me) then click here! I'm auditioning men tomorrow!!! Yikes!!!!
Well, what can I say?!!! Ha ha..... I'm getting fooking married!!!!! AAaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh! Am I mad? Yes. Am I just looking for trouble? Er... yes. Am I serious about finding true love? Most definitely.
Here's the thing.... I'm 28 now. I'm not getting any younger & I've had a mad life! Not just a mad life, a totally crazy life! Until now I haven't wanted to settle down. I haven't wanted to share all my nice things with someone (ie. my house, my family, my possessions). I haven't wanted someone to have a say in what I do and I haven't wanted to answer to anyone. UNTIL NOW........
Now I AM ready to commit to someone. I'm ready to love someone with all my heart. I'm ready to give myself fully to the right man and I'm ready to share everything I have with someone. Until now my relationships haven't lasted and if I'm honest it's probably cos I haven't been ready for all the stuff that comes with being serious with someone. I haven't wanted a man moving into my perfect little house (and putting man stuff everywhere). I certainly haven't wanted a man putting (God help me) MEAT in my fridge (yuck!). I haven't wanted to put someone else's needs before my own. Now though it's all changed.
The reason it has all changed is that I'm growing up! I'm getting broody and I want to be in love (for real, not just for four weeks). I won't ever give up the partying but I want someone to come and do it with me. Someone who will add to my life (and I will to theirs) and someone who will love me for ME!
I never pictured being an old haggard bride when I was younger and I'm now heading swiftly towards 30 (yikes!). I know my soul mate is out there and I am determined to find him this year; which is why I'm doing this man-hunt. I figure that I'm not going to find my soul mate sitting on my arse in Brentwood but I might just find him if I travel the length and breadth of the country!
MTV have decided to film it, cos let's face it; it'd be a missed opportunity if they DIDN'T film it! This is going to be one hell of a journey from start to finish!!!!
All I want to say right now is if there's anyone out there who thinks we might just get on like a house on fire; then COME to an audition (full list of venues on www.marryjodiemarsh.com). Even if you're not particularly looking to get married then you can still come along to an audition and meet me cos I WILL be seeing everyone who comes along. You never know; I might even just make some really good friends out of this.
I am soooooo excited. It's like a mush bigger and more interesting version of speed dating! I mean, what single woman (who's looking to settle down) wouldn't want to meet as many single men as Britain has to offer?!
The bottom line is that I have everything I could possibly want. I have a successful career (and job I love). I make good money from having fun. I have the most amazing friends and family a girl could ever wish for. I have a beautiful house, a wicked car, a sexy motorbike and 6 amazing dogs (well two anyway since my mum and dad have kid-napped four of them!). My social life is full and I can do anything I want at any given moment. I've jumped out of an aeroplane, abseiled down one of the tallest buildings in London and I go on holiday whenever I feel like it. The only thing missing in my life is the love of a good man. I am fully ready to share "my crazy life" with the right person. This Summer I'm hoping to find him.
If you are reading this and you think you could make me happy and share in the madness that is my life then pleeeeeeeeeease come to an audition. At the same token, if you are reading this and you know someone you think might be perfect for me then drag them to an audition (I don't care if they are kicking and screaming - just get them there!). Auditions start in London tomorrow (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I'm nervous!) at 1pm at the Wardour club in Wardour Street in Soho.
Yes folks - tomorrow, Sunday 20th May at 1pm at the Wardour in Wardour Street in London! Be there!!!!!
I'm off to have a shower now. Looking forward to meeting nice men (hopefully) tomorrow! All my love Jodie x x x x x x
P.S www.marryjodiemarsh.com - if you can't make an audition you can fill out a form on this website but you'll have far more chance if you DO come to an audition as obviously meeting people in the flesh is a lot different to reading about them or looking at pictures!

2nd May 2007 - I have just been licked by a tiger!
Helloooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I haven't written in ages. I've been a busy bee running round trying to sort out my life!
As you know, I had a massive clear out of my wardrobe and gave a load of clothes to the St Francis Hospice in Brentwood High Street. We had the sale last Saturday and it went really well! We even had two girls come all the way from Birmingham for it and another couple from Liverpool. In the end we decided not to sell my "Sexpert" T-shirt or my pink Big Brother top (the one I wore when I was evicted) because we had loads of offers from people. We have decided to let people place bids for them so that we raise the most amount of money possible for the charity. I know that we have already had a £200 offer on the Sexpert T-shirt. I will let you know how and where to place bids as soon as we work it out!
Right now I have a pounding headache (so I apologise if this isn't as eloquent as it could be - brain not functioning). I had a really tough morning in meetings and then I spent the afternoon with my mate Michelle who has finally come home from Australia. I took her to an animal park and we hand-fed fully grown male tigers (they grow up to 3.3m in length in case you didn't know. Lol). It was an amazing afternoon but I have had stressful phone conversations the whole time (in between being licked by a tiger) and now my head is on the verge of exploding. It's one of those headaches that just won't shift as well (the worst kind). I think I need to go and lie down in a dark room.
What else have I been up to? Well, I got my dad to fire up the old mini moto and I spent an afternoon screaming up and down the road on it. I've still been going to the gym all the time and I've been perving still with MSN Boy. I still desperately need a man but the perving with him is keeping me going until I find one
I drove up to Fleetwood yesterday to have lunch and spend the afternoon with Syd Little and his wife Sheree. It was sooooooo nice! The last time I saw Syd was when we were both on Celebrity Big Brother's Little Brother with Dermot. I've been meaning to go and see him and the wife for ages! We went to an animal farm before lunch and it was amazing. They do a lot of work with kids that have special needs and my luck was in yesterday cos it was baby season! Lol. Basically every animal in the park had babies and I got to hold and touch loads of them. I held baby goats & lambs. I cuddled calves and chicks and baby miniature donkeys (my idea of Heaven). After that we went to a lovely restaurant and caught up on all the gossip. Finally after about four hours with Syd and Sheree; me and my mate Adam drove to Blackpool to go on all the rides. We put a fiver in pound coins in the parking meter, jumped out all excited, walked half a mile to the entrance and it was bloody shut!!!!!!!! The Pleasure Beach was shut! Can you believe?! Gutted! We then drove for four hours to get home and went to see my mum and dad instead. I'm going to go to Chesington soon instead. Stuff Blackpool and it being closed!
I have been practising on my pro-jumpers. Now though I have knee-pads, elbow-pads and wrist-guards so I feel safer. I have the WORST balance in the world and although I am fine walking in them (and also good at jumping on one leg), for some reason I still can't bounce using both legs at the same time without holding onto something! Hopefully I WILL master it any day now!
My devil's tail tattoo has healed very nicely and I actually really like it now. Michelle saw it today and said she loves it. She said "it's very you!" Funny - I was dreading it so mush (and rightly so, considering one of the entries was to have Peter Andre's face tattooed on me) and yet now I think it's one of my best!
My headache is still giving me grief. I'm going cos I really can't concentrate on what I'm writing and it hurts to look at the screen. I need to lie down.
I will write again tomorrow with the details of how to bid for the Big Brother and Sexpert t-shirts. Hope you're all having a good week! Loads of love (with a throbbing head) Jodie x x x x x

I have the WORST balance in the world and although I am fine walking in them (and also good at jumping on one leg), for some reason I still can't bounce using both legs at the same time without holding onto something! Hopefully I WILL master it any day now!
My devil's tail tattoo has healed very nicely and I actually really like it now. Michelle saw it today and said she loves it. She said "it's very you!" Funny - I was dreading it so mush (and rightly so, considering one of the entries was to have Peter Andre's face tattooed on me) and yet now I think it's one of my best!
My headache is still giving me grief. I'm going cos I really can't concentrate on what I'm writing and it hurts to look at the screen. I need to lie down.
I will write again tomorrow with the details of how to bid for the Big Brother and Sexpert t-shirts. Hope you're all having a good week! Loads of love (with a throbbing head) Jodie x x x x x
19th April 2007 - I posed naked in a big pile of clothes today!!!!! Oooh and I want a man. Any offers?
Woooohoooooo! I am sooooooo happy! I can't even tell you why though! I just feel the most alive I have ever felt! I've just got back from a work-out at the gym with Karolina. We did an hour session then had fifteen minutes in the boiling hot sauna followed by a minute in the freezing cold plunge pool.
I am now back at home sipping on my Evian water (got 500ml to go before I reach my 2 litres for the day).
I've had a really nice day today. This morning I spent clearing yet more stuff out of my house and then I went to Brentwood to meet Jordan, Steve, Zoe and V.I.M (very important man) for lunch. After lunch I did some filming and press pictures in the St Francis Hospice to publicise the fact that I am selling all my old clothes in there for the charity. They now have my famous "Sexpert" t-shirt (the one with all the scores of my ex-boyfriends on the back of it) and they also have a load more red-carpet outfits. They have the little blue furry bra and knickers I wore to the Premiere of Scooby Doo, they have the grey and yellow stripey mini-dress I wore to the Premiere of 50 Cent's film Get Rich Or Die Trying. They have the white pin-striped suit I wore to the Premiere of Scary Movie and they have the outfit I wore to the Premiere of Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai. They are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head (there are LOADS more red carpet outfits in there). After posing half-naked in a giant pile of my clothes for the paps, I grabbed another bite to eat (a healthy brown-bread sandwich) and then I came home to get ready for the gym.
Ooooh, I know something funny I can tell you. Lyla has just turned a year old. I knew that any time now she would be due her first season (like a doggy period). I came home two days ago to find my cleaners here. They had put the dogs out in the garden while they were cleaning. One of them said to me as I walked in "Jode - there was blood on your kitchen floor when we came in" (I had only been out for an hour and there was no blood when I left) so I ran outside to see what the dogs were up to and yep - you guessed it; Paddy was getting his rocks off! When they finally separated, I took Lyla to my mum's house and got a b*llocking from my mum and dad for "letting" them shag! I didn't even know they were shagging and I only found out about the blood when the cleaners told me! Oh well, I'm hoping Lyla isn't up the duff (though secretly I would LOVE it if she was) but the poor things now have to stay separated for a month so that they don't shag again. Paddy is a very depressed little soldier now. He hasn't left my side for two days. He wants constant attention. He HATES being without Lyla now! Lyla is ok cos she's got all the Chihuahuas for company (my mum and dad still won't let me bring them to live with me permanently cos they say will miss them too mush - instead they come to visit for the day and then go back again at night). Poor Paddy has got the right sulks though. I quite like his need for attention though I have to say. Every night when we're in bed he snuggles right up to me and rests his chin on my belly. It's so cute!
I'll be glad when Lyla isn't on heat anymore though cos Paddy will be sooooooo happy to be back with her!
Yesterday I went to get my car washed (and cleaned inside too). Jord followed me down there on his motorbike and picked me up and we went off for a little bike ride while it was being done. After that we met up with Boy in the Attic (Max) and V.I.M and had a coffee in a bar. Last night I had to make a really important call at 10pm so I didn't want to go to the gym (if we go at night we don't get out of there til 11.30pm). Instead Karolina came over to mine and we did an hour of Leg Magic, free weights, sit-ups with medicine ball and bum stuff on the giant ball. Jordan popped over half way through our work out, took one look at us, shook his head, grabbed a dvd off my shelf and left. He was the one who talked me into getting fit and toned and now he thinks we are a pair of weirdos! ha ha.
I am soooo grateful to Jord still though. After that lecture he gave me one night in Pizza Express (where he shouted at me and told me to get a grip of every aspect of my life); I have done nothing but improve everything around me; my body, my house, my car, even my clothes (hence the big clear out - to make room for new stuff). I'm making an effort with everything in my life. I used to happily throw on a manky old tracksuit and go out with last night's make-up still on - NO MORE!!!!! I am the upgraded model of Jodie Marsh! Ha ha. Now, my house is spotless every minute of every day. My washing is always done, my cupboards are full of healthy foods (and not out-of-date crisps like they used to be!), my skin is looking amazing (thanks to special creams, exfoliating & freezing cold plunge pools) and I've even managed to shift the cellulite I had started to accumulate! I feel like a teenager again (though I also feel scarily like a real adult too!). Never before have I been this organised. I'm now taking cups out of people's hands before they've even finished drinking so that I can load the dishwasher! Ha ha.
I'm still having all the fun I used to but I appreciate it even more cos everything is so organised and tidy and good. I'm telling you; a clean and tidy house DOES mean a clean and tidy mind. My house had never been dirty; I mean I have cleaners come every week, but I had accumulated a LOT of junk over the years that I had been hording! Now though it's all gone and everything is sparkly every day (and not just on the day the cleaners have been). My healthy eating has given me even more energy than I already had and my new tidy dressing room means that I can find something to wear easily every day (instead of having to root around piles of clothes on the floor).
It's like I've spring-cleaned my whole life! The only actual problem (that's not really a problem - which shows you just how happy I am right now) is that my triceps hurt from all the work we did on them yesterday. Other than that, I can honestly say that I am happy with everything around me. All I need now is a man to share it all with!
I don't just want any old man though (that's OLD Jodie-style). Oh no.... now I want the PERFECT man. I know he exists - it's just a matter of him finding me! I want him to be perfect in every way: looks, body, mind, brain, heart, soul.... I want the full package. Never again will I settle for a 30-year old cat-owning, non-driving man on the dole!!!! No - I want a man who doesn't just drive, I want one who knows how to ride a motorbike, sail a boat AND fly a plane. I want a man who has dogs as pets (not a fluffy girlie cat - mush as I LOVE cats; men need dogs to go jogging in the park with. lol). I want a man who actually works for a living (so that he can pay for MY dinner occasionally instead of the other way round) and I want a man who can make me laugh!
I had a really long chat with Sarah earlier and one of the things we said was that there's no point in having a man unless he totally adds to our lives in every way. Cos unless he adds to your life in every way then all you're really getting out of it is sex - which most of the time isn't that good anyway - in my whole life I've probably had three men who really knew what they were doing in that department (I'm talking earth-shattering, bringing-tears-to-your-eyes-when-you-cum style sex). Let's face it, all sex is nice but there is a MASSIVE difference between just alright sex and full-on AMAZING sex. And the other thing is; I really can live without it now. I haven't had it for ages and I'm not even missing it! So..... there's no point getting with a bloke just to have some alright sex (when he can't satisfy you in any other way). When I next get a man, he will be one who can stimulate me mentally, teach me things, make me laugh, say "no" to me occasionally (don't ever want a wet man again), be there for me when it really counts AND give me good sex. I want it all! And I am determined to hold out until I find that (hence me being so confident about my bet with Tony - see previous blogs). The next man I get with will be so amazing that I will never want to let him go! He won't just be something to get excited over for a few weeks and to dump when I get bored. I know I haven't exactly been amazing to some of the men I've been out with. Some of them I dumped and they hadn't even done anything wrong! The point is; I wasn't with them for the right reasons. I was with them cos I was bored and needed a bit of fun. In fairness though; I HAVE said to all my recent boyfriends "don't fall in love with me!" before I started going out with them (cos I knew in my heart that it wouldn't last).
Anyway, enough of that. All I'm saying is that right now my head is more screwed on than it's ever been. I am doing all the things I should have been doing for years and I feel amazing for it. Oh - that reminds me, I'm doing a course soon on Get-away Driving! Ha ha. It's a course where you learn how to drive like a stunt-man or racer! It's for if you ever get in trouble and need to get away really quickly from a weirdo or something. I don't think I'll ever need that (cos my truck is so huge that I'd be able to drive straight through brick walls if I really needed to) but I'm just going to go and do it for fun (cos I know I will LOVE it). I'll let you know when I do it and how it was!
So, I had better be off. Paddy has now put himself to bed in a mood (cos he got bored of waiting for me). I'm going to watch myself on A Bear's Tale tonight in bed (cos I bought the dvd the other day) and then I'm going to read some more of the book I'm reading at the moment (I read 'Be Careful What You Wish For' by Alexandra Potter last week - it was really good! One for the girls!). Hope you are having a good week so far. Lots and lots of love Jodie x x x x
P.S Don't forget - the sale of pretty mush my whole wardrobe starts at the St Francis Hospice, in the High St in Brentwood, Essex at 2pm on Saturday 28th April. There's also a signed pic for everyone who buys something and I will be there myself to help sell stuff. Oooh - just remembered they also have the orange g-string in there that I wore on the streets of London (with builders hazard tape across my boobs and a power drill and hard hat) when I was promoting a builders merchants new clothing range!

17th April 2007
I have decided I don't need clothes anymore - I want to walk around naked - so I have given them all away - click here to get your hands on them.......
Everything I said on yesterday's blog still stands about the clothes I have given to the charity shop (and I even now have ANOTHER 6 sacks to take down there) BUT the clothes will not go on sale until Saturday 28th April. That's not this Saturday but NEXT Saturday. The reason for this is that a few of the local papers are running articles about it and we want to get as mush publicity as possible so that we make more money for the Charity. I will also now be doing a signing at the shop on the 28th (at 2pm). Everyone who buys any of my clothes will get a signed picture and you can also just buy a signed photo separately.
Put the date in your diary - Saturday 28th of this month. And go and get your hands on brand new (and worn once only) designer clothes and clothes that have been worn on TV, at premieres and on red carpets. These are things that have been in lots of papers and magazines! Don't miss it! x x x x x x x x

16th April 2007 - I am ALIVE!!!!! I can't stop thinking about sex and I now have biceps, abs and a devil's tail coming out of my arse-crack!
Oh God I'm so sorry for not writing a blog in aaaaages! Where do I even start? Well, it's like this: I've had soooooo mush on that I really haven't had time to sit down and write anything. I'm working flat out on various different projects, I've been at the gym as mush as twice a day (I am on the biggest mission of my life to get fit and healthy) and I have had a few personal things going on too.
I'm going to start with the gym cos it's easy and cos I love it. ha ha. My body is looking the best it's ever looked. I know they say that muscles have memory but bloody hell mine have got more than that! I have popped straight back into shape and then some! For the first time in my life I have little biceps and little bumps where my abs are coming through. I feel AMAZING!!!! I can't stop looking at myself naked in the mirror! Ha ha. Is that normal?! I love it! My legs and bum are getting tighter by the day and I don't have a single bit of cellulite. I think the key to it really is eating well, exercising and drinking lots of water. All week I eat nothing but fresh fruit, veg, the odd bit of cereal and brown bread (though not together) and I am drinking the standard 2 litres of water a day. At weekends I treat myself and have the odd portion of chips but to be honest I am craving those less and less. I am doing 30 minutes of cardio in each gym session, combined with weights, sit-ups, leg & bum exercises, rock-climbing and partner work with Karolina (she has now joined my posh gym too). When we finish we have a hot sauna and then we jump in the freezing cold plunge pool (for our pores! Ha ha). We are official gym geeks! I can't even describe to you how good it feels to see the amazing difference in my body though. Every time I look at myself and see the new muscles; it spurs me on to want to do more and more!
I also now have another 4 people to train with (for when Karolina isn't around) so I never have to go to the gym on my own. I had always wondered what 'gym-obsessed' people were about and now I know. I used to think that there was more to life than sweating on a treadmill and now I know there is; there's sit-ups with heavy medicine balls, a million different ways to use free weights, a hundred different machines to pull and tone every muscle in your body and there's the beauty of lying in the sauna afterwards sweating all your toxins out. I am seriously a changed woman. That's not to say I will ever enjoy a bath though...........
The other big thing that's new is that I had my tattoo (the one I lost the bet to Lashes with). Remember I stupidly agreed to let the readers of Bizarre magazine choose my new tattoo after I lost the bet?! Well after being given a short-list of 15 which included "Peter Andre's face", "varicose veins up my legs" and "maggots coming out of a wound on my chest"; I chose the best one of the bunch - a devil's tail coming out of my bum-crack! I let Bizarre mag film it and take pictures of it to prove that I went through with it. Today is Monday and I had it done last week and I still can't sit down properly!!!! I tell you what..... I hadn't really felt real pain til that needle went down my crack! It's like baby skin down there; tender and soft! Anyhow I do actually love the new tattoo and am very pleased with it. It is very "me" - naughty and devilish!
Tomorrow I will find the link and post it on here so that you watch the video of it being done.
I still can't tell you about work stuff. The projects are all top secret. All I can tell you is that I am working my bum off! I CAN tell you however that I DO need a man! It's got to that point again where I don't want to be single anymore!!! In the last few weeks I have had a giant spring clean of my house. I have given 15 black sacks of clothes to the St Francis Hospice in Brentwood and the bags include outfits I have worn to premieres and other red-carpet events. I am even giving them this week my Trust Me I'm a Holiday Rep uniform and Games uniform. I want rid of all the crap in my house and I want to put it to good use. So if anyone wants to get their hands on anything that I've only worn once then get down to St Francis' Hospice in Brentwood High Street. There are bagfuls of designer clothes; off the top of my head, there is a Moschino dress in there worth £600..... Go get it girls.........
As well as throwing out all the stuff I don't want; I have re-potted all my house plants (single-handedly - not a particularly easy job I can tell you), my dad has put more shelves up in my dressing room for my huge collection of boots and I have fixed all the things that needed fixing (ie. I broke my bedroom light and fixed it, amongst other things). Also my dad and brother have come and raked all my garden for me (to pull up all the dead grass). My house is also looking the best it's ever looked! I literally haven't stopped working (on my career, on my body and on my house). It's like I suddenly grew up and did all the things that I should have done ages ago. Every day is now jam-packed with stuff and it's quite surprising really just how mush I can fit in. I thought I was busy before (with work and socialising) but now I don't even have time to sit down for a cup of tea (good job cos I'm not drinking tea anymore). I'm not drinking milk anymore either (not real milk anyway - if I need milk on my All Bran then I use Soya milk). Until I have time to research whether milking is cruel to cows then I won't touch the stuff, nor butter or anything made with milk. I'm going all out to do everything I can to help the things I care about. As yet I haven't had the time to sit down and do anything (hence me not writing a blog for ages) but I will eventually do my homework like a good girl. I haven't even replied to my own friends on Myspace. The most I do is check my friend requests each day (which takes 5 minutes). I am a seriously busy bunny!
Actually I am hoping to speak with someone from the Brentwood Gazette about all the clothes I have given to the Charity shop. Like I said, it's all either only been worn once (some of it has never been worn and still has the tags on - impulse buys and all that!), it's designer stuff (ie. Moschino £600 dress and Catwalk Collection dresses worth about £400 each) and it's stuff I've worn to Premieres and red carpet events and been photographed in. If anyone from the Brentwood Gazette reads this then please get in touch! I was thinking we could maybe do a piece on it so that the shop makes the MOST amount of money possible!!!!!!
Anyway, I am going to have to go now cos I am knackered and fighting to keep my eyes open. Sorry I can't go on for longer (considering how long it's been since I wrote last) but I am soooooo tired! Plus my broken finger is still playing up so I am still typing without using it (which isn't the easiest thing in the world). I promise I will start writing again every day now (even if they are short and sweet!). Hope you are all ok and haven't been too bored at work and college without my insane wafflings! Lol.
Love you loads

P.P.S my Myspace is www.myspace.com/youwishiwasyourbird
I'm going to start with the gym cos it's easy and cos I love it. ha ha. My body is looking the best it's ever looked. I know they say that muscles have memory but bloody hell mine have got more than that! I have popped straight back into shape and then some! For the first time in my life I have little biceps and little bumps where my abs are coming through. I feel AMAZING!!!! I can't stop looking at myself naked in the mirror! Ha ha. Is that normal?! I love it! My legs and bum are getting tighter by the day and I don't have a single bit of cellulite. I think the key to it really is eating well, exercising and drinking lots of water. All week I eat nothing but fresh fruit, veg, the odd bit of cereal and brown bread (though not together) and I am drinking the standard 2 litres of water a day. At weekends I treat myself and have the odd portion of chips but to be honest I am craving those less and less. I am doing 30 minutes of cardio in each gym session, combined with weights, sit-ups, leg & bum exercises, rock-climbing and partner work with Karolina (she has now joined my posh gym too). When we finish we have a hot sauna and then we jump in the freezing cold plunge pool (for our pores! Ha ha). We are official gym geeks! I can't even describe to you how good it feels to see the amazing difference in my body though. Every time I look at myself and see the new muscles; it spurs me on to want to do more and more!
I also now have another 4 people to train with (for when Karolina isn't around) so I never have to go to the gym on my own. I had always wondered what 'gym-obsessed' people were about and now I know. I used to think that there was more to life than sweating on a treadmill and now I know there is; there's sit-ups with heavy medicine balls, a million different ways to use free weights, a hundred different machines to pull and tone every muscle in your body and there's the beauty of lying in the sauna afterwards sweating all your toxins out. I am seriously a changed woman. That's not to say I will ever enjoy a bath though...........
The other big thing that's new is that I had my tattoo (the one I lost the bet to Lashes with). Remember I stupidly agreed to let the readers of Bizarre magazine choose my new tattoo after I lost the bet?! Well after being given a short-list of 15 which included "Peter Andre's face", "varicose veins up my legs" and "maggots coming out of a wound on my chest"; I chose the best one of the bunch - a devil's tail coming out of my bum-crack! I let Bizarre mag film it and take pictures of it to prove that I went through with it. Today is Monday and I had it done last week and I still can't sit down properly!!!! I tell you what..... I hadn't really felt real pain til that needle went down my crack! It's like baby skin down there; tender and soft! Anyhow I do actually love the new tattoo and am very pleased with it. It is very "me" - naughty and devilish!
Tomorrow I will find the link and post it on here so that you watch the video of it being done.
I still can't tell you about work stuff. The projects are all top secret. All I can tell you is that I am working my bum off! I CAN tell you however that I DO need a man! It's got to that point again where I don't want to be single anymore!!! In the last few weeks I have had a giant spring clean of my house. I have given 15 black sacks of clothes to the St Francis Hospice in Brentwood and the bags include outfits I have worn to premieres and other red-carpet events. I am even giving them this week my Trust Me I'm a Holiday Rep uniform and Games uniform. I want rid of all the crap in my house and I want to put it to good use. So if anyone wants to get their hands on anything that I've only worn once then get down to St Francis' Hospice in Brentwood High Street. There are bagfuls of designer clothes; off the top of my head, there is a Moschino dress in there worth £600..... Go get it girls.........
As well as throwing out all the stuff I don't want; I have re-potted all my house plants (single-handedly - not a particularly easy job I can tell you), my dad has put more shelves up in my dressing room for my huge collection of boots and I have fixed all the things that needed fixing (ie. I broke my bedroom light and fixed it, amongst other things). Also my dad and brother have come and raked all my garden for me (to pull up all the dead grass). My house is also looking the best it's ever looked! I literally haven't stopped working (on my career, on my body and on my house). It's like I suddenly grew up and did all the things that I should have done ages ago. Every day is now jam-packed with stuff and it's quite surprising really just how mush I can fit in. I thought I was busy before (with work and socialising) but now I don't even have time to sit down for a cup of tea (good job cos I'm not drinking tea anymore). I'm not drinking milk anymore either (not real milk anyway - if I need milk on my All Bran then I use Soya milk). Until I have time to research whether milking is cruel to cows then I won't touch the stuff, nor butter or anything made with milk. I'm going all out to do everything I can to help the things I care about. As yet I haven't had the time to sit down and do anything (hence me not writing a blog for ages) but I will eventually do my homework like a good girl. I haven't even replied to my own friends on Myspace. The most I do is check my friend requests each day (which takes 5 minutes). I am a seriously busy bunny!
Actually I am hoping to speak with someone from the Brentwood Gazette about all the clothes I have given to the Charity shop. Like I said, it's all either only been worn once (some of it has never been worn and still has the tags on - impulse buys and all that!), it's designer stuff (ie. Moschino £600 dress and Catwalk Collection dresses worth about £400 each) and it's stuff I've worn to Premieres and red carpet events and been photographed in. If anyone from the Brentwood Gazette reads this then please get in touch! I was thinking we could maybe do a piece on it so that the shop makes the MOST amount of money possible!!!!!!
Anyway, I am going to have to go now cos I am knackered and fighting to keep my eyes open. Sorry I can't go on for longer (considering how long it's been since I wrote last) but I am soooooo tired! Plus my broken finger is still playing up so I am still typing without using it (which isn't the easiest thing in the world).

2nd April 2007 - My ladies bits hurt!! I am a walking injury and tomorrow I will be walking like John Wayne!!!
Hi there.....
I have had a very nice day indeed. I wasn't working today so I drove into London this morning to do a bit of shopping. Kyle met me there and came home with me at lunch time. When we got back to Brentwood we went to meet Jordan for lunch in a fabulous little trendy restaurant (and sat outside cos it was so lovely and sunny). After that the three of us took the dogs for a walk in the park and then when we got back my neighbour came knocking at the door. He had a delivery for me. Last week I ordered a thing called Leg Magic. It's a weird thing you stand and move about on that tones your legs, thighs & bum. Since I got on my mission to get fit and toned I have been buying lots of gym stuff. This Spring I want to build my own indoor gym (if I can actually find the time to sort it out). Anyway, me and Kyle were like excited kids ripping the packaging off the Leg Magic and we spent the next hour and a half taking it in turns to go on it. It is now midnight and we are officially f*cked! Our inner thighs are burning to Hell! Basically we were going to go to the gym but we got carried away playing with Leg Magic, my weights and the medicine ball. Before we knew it, Alex was here! She had come to do my hair. She was going to do it last night but neither of us was in the mood so we went out for dinner instead and had wicked girlie chats. She arrived at 5pm (at the same time as my mum, dad and brother). Suddenly I had a house full and we were all laughing and trying out the new leg-toning machine. My mum loved it so I am going to buy her one too!
Eventually Alex started on my hair and everyone else sat chatting in the other room. Alex didn't finish my hair (cut and colour) til 10pm cos we were messing about the whole time and Kyle and Jordan were entertaining us. As soon as we were finished we then did another hour of exercise, including millions of sit-ups and weights. I think we have actually done more today than we would have done if we had been to the gym! I am definitely going to go tomorrow at some point though. I can't miss a day now! I feel amazing! I am still eating only fruit, salad and veg in the week and weekends I treat myself and eat whatever I want. It's great. I find myself feeling really good all week (cos I've been so healthy) and then I also look forward to weekends cos I can treat myself to roast potatoes and chocolate!!!
Someone messaged me on Myspace earlier asking how my finger was (thanks for asking. Lol). Erm.... It's still broken. I'm actually amazed that it still hurts so mush after all this time. I still can't use it to do anything (I can't even press a button on my phone with it!) - I can't put any pressure on it at all (and if I forget and touch something, I get the most violent shooting pain in it). It's starting to wind me up now actually cos there are so many things I can't do properly. Like, even walking the dogs; I have to hold the leads in the other hand! I have even had to master typing without using it!!! I have no idea how long a broken finger takes to heal (or how long til it's not so painful) - perhaps I should try and find out really?! It's horrid!!!! L To add to the pain, I was tidying up a bit earlier and I snagged my other finger on a bit of metal! I now have a big bleeding gash on it! Lovely! I also have a fag burn on my arm from the weekend (that doesn't appear to be getting any better) and my tattoo is still sore! Ha ha. I am a walking injury! I'm just waiting for the pain to kick in tomorrow from Leg Magic. It not only hurt my bum, thighs & legs but it hurt my ladies bits too! Ha ha. The faster I went on it, the more it hurt down there!!! I just know that I won't be able to walk tomorrow! That or I'll be walking like I had a really hardcore session with a fit bloke....... if only
It is Lyla's first birthday today! We have all spoiled her rotten! We don't buy them presents (well, we do but only at Christmas) but we give them even more fuss than normal. She has had cuddles and kisses from everyone today and she hasn't even been told off. Lyla is the naughty one of the two and at least once a day she gets told "No!" when she's doing something bad. Today though we let her get away with doing what she wanted! ha ha. That said, Jordan did tell her off first thing this morning before he knew it was her birthday and then he felt guilty afterwards! We really do treat these dogs like they are human!
I ordered another set of pro-jumpers today! I figured that I need another set for when I have friends over. There's no point me being the only one on them! I need a pro-jump partner. Whoever is around can use the other set and we can bounce all over the place together. It'll be mush more fun. Not that I can use mine at the moment anyway, due to the dirty great tattoo I've just had put up the back of my leg, but when it heals up I will be bouncing all over the place again and whoever is with me can bounce too. They are soooooo mush fun!!!
This last week I have been sooo busy! In between working like a Trojan, I have been to the doctor's for a regular check up, the opticians for an eye test (and been told my eyes have deteriorated even more and I have "dry eye" from wearing my lenses too mush), I have had my nails and hair done. My car has been serviced and I am getting it washed and cleaned inside tomorrow or the day after. I have had Tony and Jordan clean my whole patio in the garden ready for Summer and I have weeded all the flower-beds myself. I'm a right little Miss Perfect at the moment! Ha ha. All the things I normally put off and hate doing have been done within a week! I've even got all my receipts ready for my mum (without her having to shout at me for them!). Seriously; I'm starting to worry that I'm not really me! I'm never this organised!!! What's going on?! On top of all that, I have managed to get my TV Production company off the ground, I have been working like mad on a secret project, I have been out partying and still found time to perve with MSN Boy!!! Woooooh! Life is full! The only thing that isn't perfect right now is the fact that my house needs a hovering and polishing but there's no point me doing it myself cos my cleaners are coming tomorrow.
Seriously; what has happened??? Not only am I never this organised (or grown up) but I've never been this healthy in my life either. Until now, the thought of setting foot inside a gym (or eating only fruit and veg all week) has made me feel sick! Suddenly I am a changed person and I don't even know why! I love it though. I really do feel a bit grown up! I suppose I feel more in control too. Not that I wasn't in control before (well, I have always been a little bit out of control and always will be.....) but I just feel like I am thinking more about everything I do. I am thinking before I stuff chips in my mouth. I am thinking about how mush water I'm drinking (Ooooh - that's another point - I am drinking 2 litres of water a day! Never done that before either!). I am thinking about what other things I can do to improve my fitness and stamina. For example; earlier when everyone went home, I thought "I can sit and read some more of the book I am reading at the moment or I can have a tidy up" I chose to tidy up cos I thought it would be better to do something active than sit on my arse with a book! Normally I wouldn't even think about it - if I wanted to read the book I just would! Wow - big things are happening!
Ooooh - also I am recycling EVERYTHING! I've got those new orange sacks and I have four of them out by the bin. One has plastic in it, one has cardboard, one has paper and one has tins. Whereas before I only really recycled glass and paper, I am now not throwing anything away. Everything gets put in its' correct sack. It's a pain having four giant orange sacks in the kitchen but I know it's worth it! I've always given clothes and shoes to charity shops too - Dave the Boil made a fortune for the British Heart Foundation. He left his whole wardrobe here and me and Jord took the whole lot down there. See.... He DID do something good after all. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
So.... I am off to do another ten minutes on my Leg Magic before I collapse into bed and wait for the pain to come tomorrow. Paddy and Lyla are knackered. After their walk, they tumbled each other over in the garden for two hours and now they are fast asleep on the rug behind me. It's been a very nice day but I need to go and take my lenses out before my eyes get starved of oxygen and grow red veins over my pupils to protect themselves!
Lots and lots of love Jodie x x x x

1st April 2007 - UNEDITED - I am a TWAT!!!! I need someone to love!!! FIND ME A MAN!!!!!
Well well well...... where on earth do I start? Let me see...... I'll start with last night I think cos it's PURE comedy!
So..... Sarah and Vonnie arrive at my house at around 5pm. We sit and have girlie chats (and in the middle of this I stop to have a quick perve with MSN Boy) and before we know it; it's 6.30pm and our car is due to pick us up at 8pm for our night out. I jump in the shower and then start to get ready. By the time I've shaved my legs (and other areas but there's no need for that right now....) and washed everything and dried myself and moisturised etc, it's 7.15pm. I haven't even started on make-up, I have no clue what to wear, my hair is a tangled mess (cos I didn't even use a brush to dry it with) and I am starting to panic. I know full well that I am NOT going to be ready in time. So; the only thing for it is to go in fancy dress, I think. I've got a whole section of my wardrobe devoted to fancy dress outfits so there is always something fabulous to hand! That way, I can do my make-up quickly, run the ghd's through my hair and throw on a cool outfit! Job done. I ran downstairs and asked Sarah and Vonnie (who were dressed and ready in brand new outfits) if they wanted to go in fancy dress too (thinking I didn't want to be the only weirdo dressed in something silly) and they said yes. They then followed me back upstairs and raided my fancy dress wardrobe. I told them to pick what ever they wanted! I had already chosen an American cops outfit (complete with hat and handcuffs). I then didn't see what they were wearing til we were walking out the door cos I was beavering away in my make-up room. They both looked amazing! Sarah had chosen a sexy Red Indian outfit and Vonnie had dressed up in a cow-girl outfit with cowboy hat and chaps. It was only when we walked into the club and someone said "why have you come as the Village People?" that we realised how thick we are. Between three of us we hadn't made the connection! Twats! We did look like the Village People; cowboy, Indian & cop!!! All we needed was Lauren in a hard-hat and we'd have been sorted! We laughed til we cried! Seriously; there isn't a brain cell amongst us! Losers! ------- Y.M.C.A-------
We had a really good night though. I found the best looking bloke in the place and handcuffed myself to him for the night (dragging him round the club with me) and Vonnie got so drunk she was rolling around on the sofa in the VIP room laughing hysterically. Lauren, Steve and Zoe came out too and when we all got back to mine at 4am, we made toast and had a big girlie sleep over. I was woken this morning by MSN Boy. He called at 9am!!! Filth! Within five minutes we were laughing stupidly though cos I couldn't talk properly and he says I sound like Frank Butcher in the mornings! My laughter then woke the rest of the house up and we decided to go for breakfast in a café. So by 10pm we were eating a veggie fry-up still in last night's make-up and wearing our glasses. Remember I've talked before about the beautiful man that I've had a crush on for fifteen years?! Oh yeah - you guessed it....... He's in the café. I also remember telling you that he has NEVER seen me look good. ha ha. It's true! For some reason I always bump into him when I look my absolute worst ie. when I'm ill or when I've been doing housework and have popped out for some more bleach or whatever. Well he looked up at me as I walked in the café.... I've got black eye make-up smudged right down my cheeks, glasses on, a hideous old tracksuit (no... not even my lovely new one with my name on it! When will I learn?), hair all over the place and a bald line across my eyelids where I've yanked my false eyelashes off (and the glue has taken the make-up with it). He says "hello Jode!" and I answer "DON'T look at me! I am the living dead" before sitting down and hiding behind Vonnie, blocking his view of me! What are the chances? Ha ha. Oh well, like I said before - he still has a massive grin and wink for me every time I see him so I might as well not break the wonderful vision he has of me! ha ha. I mean, Heaven forbid that he might see me looking nice - he might not know what to do with himself!
So, I've had a great weekend again! After the café everyone else went home and me and Sarah went to my mum's for a cup of tea. My mum had bought us Easter Eggs so we sat and stuffed ourselves with chocolate and then came back to mine to talk about how mush we need a man!
I really think I want to settle down now. I realised it last night when I was in the club. mush as I was loving every second of it; I was also thinking "I'm 28! I shouldn't be acting like a 15 year old still! I need someone to grow old with!" The thing is that my life is in such a good place right now. I'm the happiest I've ever been (and the most in control). Everything is just perfect. I have fun every single day. Every day is different. There's ALWAYS something exciting happening and I'm doing all the things I want to do. I don't have to answer to anyone. I make all my own decisions (ie. I am my own boss) and I am actively finding new ways to make money and improve my life on a daily basis. (to the guy that said "why do you want us closed down?" - I don't - that's the point - I wanna take every God damn penny you've ever earned! Not that you've probably got mush but hey money is money and I can't wait to take it! Keep going! Bring it on Mo'fo! I can't lose! You think I want people to stop talking about me? No - show me the money baby!). Sorry went off track a bit there - so.... I was saying..... yeah, life is amazing! And for that reason I kind of think it would be nice to share all these things with someone special. I mean what's the point in being this happy, experiencing all these amazing things and being able to do whatever I want without having someone to share it with? It's silly. When I have kids of my own with my (hopefully) perfect husband; I want to have lots of shared experiences and stories to tell them. Everything I've already done has been on my own or with friends or with an ex - I want to start living life with The One now. I'm getting too old for all this playing about. This is also the reason I am so confident that the next guy I get with will actually last (longer than the standard 4 weeks I mean). I cannot lose the bet with Tony! I WILL not lose the bet with Tony!
Right now I want to be able to spread a little bit of my happiness into someone else's life (and I mean someone who means something to me; other than my friends and family). I want to be there for someone, make them laugh, comfort them, offer them security and love. My heart is bursting with love, laughter and happiness and I need someone to give it to! I feel so good and I feel very generous (lads make the most of it cos it will probably all have changed by next week! ha ha). Seriously though - my life is incredible. Every night I thank God for everything I have and I say a prayer to make life better for everyone else (for people who perhaps aren't having such a good time at the moment). I am soooo grateful for the things I have and for the love I have from the people around me. I have been to some very dark places in my life and I also thank God that he gave me the strength to get through it all. All of these things however have made me the person I am today and I wouldn't change any of them (apart from to bring Kim back). I am stronger than ever before. I am happier than ever before. I am more secure than ever before and I am healing. It's true that bad things (like a death) never go away but they do get easier with time. As time goes on, I am healing more and more. I am growing every day as a person and I am still learning every day. I can't get enough of life itself. I am like a sponge, wanting to soak up every bit of knowledge that I can. For all of these reasons I want to meet The One. I really mean the real ONE. My soul mate. My best friend and lover all rolled into one. I want to make him happy and love him and cherish him. No more messing around! I am a changed woman! Watch this space people - I'm a woman on a mission.
I'm not actually going out there every day actively looking for a man (not yet anyway. ha ha) but I AM certain that I have matured enough to know that I won't dabble in flings or 4-week relationships anymore! Woooohooooo - she's a TRUE grown-up!!!!! Someone call my mum and tell her.............
I love love love my life and all the things in it. I loved being the Village People last night and I loved seeing the beautiful man today (even though I looked like the walking dead). I loved seeing the Mandarin ducks at my mum's house! Wooohoooo check my mum out! She's got Mandarin ducks (a male and a female) living in her garden and they come up to feed at the back door every day! Sarah told us today that if you have a pair like that then it is meant to be really lucky and is even said to bring you eternal love! Yippppeeeeeee! Yet another bonus!!!! My mum nearly cried when she said that! She's been inviting everyone she knows to come over and see them! Ha ha. My mum is the cutest thing in the world! I love the gym (esp. the rock climbing wall), I love that my nails are pretty and painted. I love my "new" stomach! I love the book I am reading at the moment, I love that my garden is all tidy and ready for Summer. I love the fact that I now own my own TV Production company and I love my new tattoo. I think I might even love MSN Boy a little bit (oh God did I just say that?)!!! I love ME and everything around me (it's been a long hard slog in getting to love myself but I really truly do now!). Someone get me a man for goodness sake..... I don't know what to do with all this love!!!!
Moving on cos I don't want to bore you........
I hope you all had a great weekend! I hope you smiled and laughed lots and I hope you appreciated it! Life is for living - get out there and live it! I am having the time of my life right now and I am not even aching anymore from the gym!
I'm off to bed now with a book and two cuddly bulldogs. Alex has just left mine (we went out for dinner earlier) and we have done nothing but laugh the whole time. We have decided to go snow-boarding together later this year! I can't wait!!!!! Love you all loads............

P.S I had someone tell me that "hark my words" is a known saying? Well blow me down! Round this way (Essex or more specifically if you like - Brentwood), no one has EVER heard of "hark my words" - where we come from it's "Mark my words". Hence me (and all my friends and family) finding it so amusing!!!! I even asked Lauren about it before I replied to the loony woman (and Lauren is an English teacher remember) and she laughed and said she had typed it wrong! Of course I know that "hark" is a word - who doesn't?! But I have never heard it used in that particular saying.... Like I said, round this way it's "Mark my words"...... It is funny though how different places have different sayings. It's like the other day when I was talking to my American friend and I said "you ok?" just meaning "how are things?" or "hi" and he replied "yeah - what would make you think I wasn't ok?" - ha ha. He didn't get that it was just a greeting!
P.P.S Quote for the day: "you learn something new every day!" ha ha ha ha ha ha - Keep on educating me... I f*cking love it!!!!! I am a sponge, wet me baby, wet me............

P.P.P.P.S MSN Boy if you are reading this - I hope you meant everything you said during drunk phone call cos I am going to smother you with love and caring when I next see you (whenever that may be! Ten years time the way things are going! Lol). Bring it on home baby, bring it on home. Momma is waiting........ lol. Miss yooooooooooooooou (and your length) x
So..... Sarah and Vonnie arrive at my house at around 5pm. We sit and have girlie chats (and in the middle of this I stop to have a quick perve with MSN Boy) and before we know it; it's 6.30pm and our car is due to pick us up at 8pm for our night out. I jump in the shower and then start to get ready. By the time I've shaved my legs (and other areas but there's no need for that right now....) and washed everything and dried myself and moisturised etc, it's 7.15pm. I haven't even started on make-up, I have no clue what to wear, my hair is a tangled mess (cos I didn't even use a brush to dry it with) and I am starting to panic. I know full well that I am NOT going to be ready in time. So; the only thing for it is to go in fancy dress, I think. I've got a whole section of my wardrobe devoted to fancy dress outfits so there is always something fabulous to hand! That way, I can do my make-up quickly, run the ghd's through my hair and throw on a cool outfit! Job done. I ran downstairs and asked Sarah and Vonnie (who were dressed and ready in brand new outfits) if they wanted to go in fancy dress too (thinking I didn't want to be the only weirdo dressed in something silly) and they said yes. They then followed me back upstairs and raided my fancy dress wardrobe. I told them to pick what ever they wanted! I had already chosen an American cops outfit (complete with hat and handcuffs). I then didn't see what they were wearing til we were walking out the door cos I was beavering away in my make-up room. They both looked amazing! Sarah had chosen a sexy Red Indian outfit and Vonnie had dressed up in a cow-girl outfit with cowboy hat and chaps. It was only when we walked into the club and someone said "why have you come as the Village People?" that we realised how thick we are. Between three of us we hadn't made the connection! Twats! We did look like the Village People; cowboy, Indian & cop!!! All we needed was Lauren in a hard-hat and we'd have been sorted! We laughed til we cried! Seriously; there isn't a brain cell amongst us! Losers! ------- Y.M.C.A-------
We had a really good night though. I found the best looking bloke in the place and handcuffed myself to him for the night (dragging him round the club with me) and Vonnie got so drunk she was rolling around on the sofa in the VIP room laughing hysterically. Lauren, Steve and Zoe came out too and when we all got back to mine at 4am, we made toast and had a big girlie sleep over. I was woken this morning by MSN Boy. He called at 9am!!! Filth! Within five minutes we were laughing stupidly though cos I couldn't talk properly and he says I sound like Frank Butcher in the mornings! My laughter then woke the rest of the house up and we decided to go for breakfast in a café. So by 10pm we were eating a veggie fry-up still in last night's make-up and wearing our glasses. Remember I've talked before about the beautiful man that I've had a crush on for fifteen years?! Oh yeah - you guessed it....... He's in the café. I also remember telling you that he has NEVER seen me look good. ha ha. It's true! For some reason I always bump into him when I look my absolute worst ie. when I'm ill or when I've been doing housework and have popped out for some more bleach or whatever. Well he looked up at me as I walked in the café.... I've got black eye make-up smudged right down my cheeks, glasses on, a hideous old tracksuit (no... not even my lovely new one with my name on it! When will I learn?), hair all over the place and a bald line across my eyelids where I've yanked my false eyelashes off (and the glue has taken the make-up with it). He says "hello Jode!" and I answer "DON'T look at me! I am the living dead" before sitting down and hiding behind Vonnie, blocking his view of me! What are the chances? Ha ha. Oh well, like I said before - he still has a massive grin and wink for me every time I see him so I might as well not break the wonderful vision he has of me! ha ha. I mean, Heaven forbid that he might see me looking nice - he might not know what to do with himself!
So, I've had a great weekend again! After the café everyone else went home and me and Sarah went to my mum's for a cup of tea. My mum had bought us Easter Eggs so we sat and stuffed ourselves with chocolate and then came back to mine to talk about how mush we need a man!
I really think I want to settle down now. I realised it last night when I was in the club. mush as I was loving every second of it; I was also thinking "I'm 28! I shouldn't be acting like a 15 year old still! I need someone to grow old with!" The thing is that my life is in such a good place right now. I'm the happiest I've ever been (and the most in control). Everything is just perfect. I have fun every single day. Every day is different. There's ALWAYS something exciting happening and I'm doing all the things I want to do. I don't have to answer to anyone. I make all my own decisions (ie. I am my own boss) and I am actively finding new ways to make money and improve my life on a daily basis. (to the guy that said "why do you want us closed down?" - I don't - that's the point - I wanna take every God damn penny you've ever earned! Not that you've probably got mush but hey money is money and I can't wait to take it! Keep going! Bring it on Mo'fo! I can't lose! You think I want people to stop talking about me? No - show me the money baby!). Sorry went off track a bit there - so.... I was saying..... yeah, life is amazing! And for that reason I kind of think it would be nice to share all these things with someone special. I mean what's the point in being this happy, experiencing all these amazing things and being able to do whatever I want without having someone to share it with? It's silly. When I have kids of my own with my (hopefully) perfect husband; I want to have lots of shared experiences and stories to tell them. Everything I've already done has been on my own or with friends or with an ex - I want to start living life with The One now. I'm getting too old for all this playing about. This is also the reason I am so confident that the next guy I get with will actually last (longer than the standard 4 weeks I mean). I cannot lose the bet with Tony! I WILL not lose the bet with Tony!
Right now I want to be able to spread a little bit of my happiness into someone else's life (and I mean someone who means something to me; other than my friends and family). I want to be there for someone, make them laugh, comfort them, offer them security and love. My heart is bursting with love, laughter and happiness and I need someone to give it to! I feel so good and I feel very generous (lads make the most of it cos it will probably all have changed by next week! ha ha). Seriously though - my life is incredible.

1st April 2007 - I am a TWAT!!!! I need someone to love!!! FIND ME A MAN!!!!!
Well well well...... where on earth do I start? Let me see...... I'll start with last night I think cos it's PURE comedy!
So..... Sarah and Vonnie arrive at my house at around 5pm.

Within five minutes we were laughing stupidly though cos I couldn't talk properly and he says I sound like Frank Butcher in the mornings! My laughter then woke the rest of the house up and we decided to go for breakfast in a café. So by 10pm we were eating a veggie fry-up still in last night's make-up and wearing our glasses. Remember I've talked before about the beautiful man that I've had a crush on for fifteen years?! Oh yeah - you guessed it....... He's in the café. I also remember telling you that he has NEVER seen me look good. ha ha. It's true! For some reason I always bump into him when I look my absolute worst ie. when I'm ill or when I've been doing housework and have popped out for some more bleach or whatever. Well he looked up at me as I walked in the café.... I've got black eye make-up smudged right down my cheeks, glasses on, a hideous old tracksuit (no... not even my lovely new one with my name on it! When will I learn?), hair all over the place and a bald line across my eyelids where I've yanked my false eyelashes off (and the glue has taken the make-up with it). He says "hello Jode!" and I answer "DON'T look at me! I am the living dead" before sitting down and hiding behind Vonnie, blocking his view of me! What are the chances? Ha ha. Oh well, like I said before - he still has a massive grin and wink for me every time I see him so I might as well not break the wonderful vision he has of me! ha ha. I mean, Heaven forbid that he might see me looking nice - he might not know what to do with himself!
So, I've had a great weekend again! After the café everyone else went home and me and Sarah went to my mum's for a cup of tea. My mum had bought us Easter Eggs so we sat and stuffed ourselves with chocolate and then came back to mine to talk about how mush we need a man!
I really think I want to settle down now. I realised it last night when I was in the club. Much as I was loving every second of it; I was also thinking "I'm 28! I shouldn't be acting like a 15 year old still! I need someone to grow old with!" The thing is that my life is in such a good place right now. I'm the happiest I've ever been (and the most in control). Everything is just perfect. I have fun every single day. Every day is different. There's ALWAYS something exciting happening and I'm doing all the things I want to do. I don't have to answer to anyone. I make all my own decisions (ie. I am my own boss) and I am actively finding new ways to make money and improve my life on a daily basis. Yeah, life is amazing! And for that reason I kind of think it would be nice to share all these things with someone special. I mean what's the point in being this happy, experiencing all these amazing things and being able to do whatever I want without having someone to share it with? It's silly. When I have kids of my own with my (hopefully) perfect husband; I want to have lots of shared experiences and stories to tell them. Everything I've already done has been on my own or with friends or with an ex - I want to start living life with The One now. I'm getting too old for all this playing about. This is also the reason I am so confident that the next guy I get with will actually last (longer than the standard 4 weeks I mean). I cannot lose the bet with Tony! I WILL not lose the bet with Tony!
Right now I want to be able to spread a little bit of my happiness into someone else's life (and I mean someone who means something to me; other than my friends and family). I want to be there for someone, make them laugh, comfort them, offer them security and love. My heart is bursting with love, laughter and happiness and I need someone to give it to! I feel so good and I feel very generous (lads make the most of it cos it will probably all have changed by next week! ha ha). Seriously though - my life is incredible. Every night I thank God for everything I have and I say a prayer to make life better for everyone else (for people who perhaps aren't having such a good time at the moment). I am soooo grateful for the things I have and for the love I have from the people around me. I have been to some very dark places in my life and I also thank God that he gave me the strength to get through it all. All of these things however have made me the person I am today and I wouldn't change any of them (apart from to bring Kim back). I am stronger than ever before. I am happier than ever before. I am more secure than ever before and I am healing. It's true that bad things (like a death) never go away but they do get easier with time. As time goes on, I am healing more and more. I am growing every day as a person and I am still learning every day. I can't get enough of life itself. I am like a sponge, wanting to soak up every bit of knowledge that I can. For all of these reasons I want to meet The One. I really mean the real ONE. My soul mate. My best friend and lover all rolled into one. I want to make him happy and love him and cherish him. No more messing around! I am a changed woman! Watch this space people - I'm a woman on a mission.
I'm not actually going out there every day actively looking for a man (not yet anyway. ha ha) but I AM certain that I have matured enough to know that I won't dabble in flings or 4-week relationships anymore! Woooohooooo - she's a TRUE grown-up!!!!! Someone call my mum and tell her.............
I love love love my life and all the things in it. I loved being the Village People last night and I loved seeing the beautiful man today (even though I looked like the walking dead). I loved seeing the Mandarin ducks at my mum's house! Wooohoooo check my mum out! She's got Mandarin ducks (a male and a female) living in her garden and they come up to feed at the back door every day! Sarah told us today that if you have a pair like that then it is meant to be really lucky and is even said to bring you eternal love! Yippppeeeeeee! Yet another bonus!!!! My mum nearly cried when she said that! She's been inviting everyone she knows to come over and see them! Ha ha. My mum is the cutest thing in the world! I love the gym (esp. the rock climbing wall), I love that my nails are pretty and painted. I love my "new" stomach! I love the book I am reading at the moment, I love that my garden is all tidy and ready for Summer. I love the fact that I now own my own TV Production company and I love my new tattoo. I think I might even love MSN Boy a little bit (oh God did I just say that?)!!! I love ME and everything around me (it's been a long hard slog in getting to love myself but I really truly do now!). Someone get me a man for goodness sake..... I don't know what to do with all this love!!!!
Moving on cos I don't want to bore you........
I hope you all had a great weekend! I hope you smiled and laughed lots and I hope you appreciated it! Life is for living - get out there and live it! I am having the time of my life right now and I am not even aching anymore from the gym!
I'm off to bed now with a book and two cuddly bulldogs. Alex has just left mine (we went out for dinner earlier) and we have done nothing but laugh the whole time. We have decided to go snow-boarding together later this year! I can't wait!!!!! Love you all loads............

P.S I had someone tell me that "hark my words" is a known saying? Well blow me down! Round this way (Essex or more specifically if you like - Brentwood), no one has EVER heard of "hark my words" - where we come from it's "Mark my words". Hence me (and all my friends and family) finding it so amusing!!!! I even asked Lauren about it before I replied to the loony woman (and Lauren is an English teacher remember) and she laughed and said she had typed it wrong! Of course I know that "hark" is a word - who doesn't?! But I have never heard it used in that particular saying.... Like I said, round this way it's "Mark my words"...... It is funny though how different places have different sayings. It's like the other day when I was talking to my American friend and I said "you ok?" just meaning "how are things?" or "hi" and he replied "yeah - what would make you think I wasn't ok?" - ha ha. He didn't get that it was just a greeting!
P.P.S Quote for the day: "you learn something new every day!" ha ha ha ha ha ha - Keep on educating me... I f*cking love it!!!!! I am a sponge, wet me baby, wet me............

P.P.P.P.S MSN Boy if you are reading this - I hope you meant everything you said during drunk phone call cos I am going to smother you with love and caring when I next see you (whenever that may be! Ten years time the way things are going! Lol). Bring it on home baby, bring it on home. Momma is waiting........ lol. Miss yooooooooooooooou (and your length) x
