11th October 2006 - I'm Sh*tting myself!!!

Oh my goodness I am knackered. I have spent the last three hours having a clear out of my house. Because of what I do for a living, I always get sent free stuff. This could be anything from pairs of shoes and trainers to dog bowls and food. I even got sent 20 bottles of that new pink coloured mineral water (the limited edition one for Breast Cancer). Cos I'm always running around I let the boxes of stuff pile up in the corner of one of my living rooms and my mission this afternoon was to move them all and put everything away. I have nearly finished (I stopped for a blog break). I can't believe how cool a lot of the stuff is. I've discovered new trainers, t-shirts for me and all my dogs, candles, make-up and baseball caps! It's like Christmas! Ha ha.

I've also managed to get rid of 4 bin bags full of rubbish in the process. I am having a proper clear-out. The house wasn't looking messy or anything but I just had a few little places that were getting full up of crap (like under the stairs). I always feel better when my house is clean and tidy; and I feel AMAZING when I get rid of all the rubbish. I have bought myself some new scented candles and placed them in every room. They smell of things like "chocolate" and "caramel" and I've even got one called "fairy dust" - which smells amazing. They make the whole house smell gorgeous! God a good spring clean does me wonders! Sometimes when stuff is piling up I feel stressed and I can't concentrate so when it's gone I feel like I've cleared my head too! I don't know anything about that fung shi (or however you spell it) but there is definitely something to be said for a house free from clutter. I feel great!

Lauren has just got to mine. Jord has a gig tonight but I think we're gonna stay in. I'm all dirty and can't be bothered to go and make myself look nice and also I want to finish off this tidying mission that I started. Lyla has chewed the heel of one of my brand new Gina shoes. They are the newest ones out and I love them! They are nearly as good as "the best shoes in the whole world" (a pink glittery pair that nothing we've ever seen comes close to). I've taken them to have them mended. I have also ordered a new battery charger for my camera cos without it I can't take any pics or make any videos. Just as I was clearing stuff out, I found the old charger behind all my plants in the jungle room. I reckon my cleaners must have put it there! The other day I wanted to film me and Ben doing "The Lift" to show my mum so I went into Curry's and charmed the cute guy in there to put my camera on charge for me for an hour. I then totally forgot to film the dance anyway! Oh well, I'm glad I found it and I'll still have the other charger anyway cos I can leave one in the car so that I've always got one on me.

I'm still aching today (the tidying hasn't helped) and I'm looking forward to lying on the sofa later with a cold drink, a good film and my babies. I realised today that it's not long til I go to Valencia with Carolina. Kyle's sister Karleigh texted me today that she's coming up from Wales soon and wanted to know if I'd be around to go out and party and it was then I realised that I'm away when she's here. It's a shame cos I knew she was coming up soon and I was looking forward to "kicking a leg" as she calls it! I'm very excited for Valencia though. I need another break now - it's about that time! I'm DESPERATE to go to Barbados at Christmas; I just don't know anyone that can or wants to go with me. Everyone has either already taken their holiday this year or is too busy to go. I offered to take my mum, dad and brother but my mum and dad are too busy with work and really can't take the time off. Jord may still want to go though so maybe I'll take him. It'd be fun to go just the two of us anyway. We know the island like the back of our hand so we would hire a mini-moke and bomb it round in that. Jord hasn't been for a while so I'm sure he'd want to do all the touristy things like swimming in caves and going to the Flower Forest. I'm going to speak to him about it later.

I had better go cos I wanna finish this clear-out tonight. Plus I need to go and get some dinner. I can feel a dirty take-away coming on! Lyla is snoring at my feet now. I don't want to move cos I'll wake her but she needs another run anyway. Plus, if she sleeps now then she'll keep me awake all night wanting to play! Paddy is asleep in his new bed and he won't let Lyla near it. He's being a proper grump about it. I hope you all enjoyed Me or the Dog last night (for those that watched it). I'm still getting texts today about how cute Lyla is. She did look amazing on TV though. A tiny wrinkly bundle of velvet. She never wanted to be put down when she was a baby which is why she was strapped to my chest the whole time during filming! Victoria loved her and Paddy the most (even though none of us are supposed to have favourites!). She said that Paddy is the best-looking Bulldog she'd ever seen. Plus of course you can't help but love both of them when you say "high five" and they slap your hand with their paw. They are amazing and beautiful.

Hope you have a lovely night. I'm getting more and more nervous as the week goes on. I don't want the All Star Talent Show to be over but in a way I don't want Friday to come! If we weren't doing "The Lift" I'd be fine but the very thought of it makes my belly flip over with nerves and excitement all at the same time! I love it and I hate it! It's scary and difficult but if we do it perfectly on the night I know I will make sooooo many people proud (ie. Mum, dad, Vanessa for starters!). I will also be proud of myself if I do it cos like Andi Peters said on the first show - I did this for a reason; to show people a different side to me and to prove that I could do something other than pole-dancing. Considering that lift is the hardest one to do; it will be even more of an achievement on the night if we pull it off. It means so mush to me to do this dance well. We have all put extra hours into making it look good and Ben and Vanessa have helped me so mush! I don't want to let anyone down! Aaaaaagh! I'm sh*tting myself! God knows what I'll be like on Friday cos already I feel a bit sick just thinking about it.

Lots of love and kisses and dirty thoughts

Jodie
