Its 11pm on Tuesday night. I've been filming non-stop again; though I can tell you that when filming finished yesterday (at about 5pm), my make-up artist drove me to Oxford where we checked into a hotel that had been booked for us. The rest of the crew turned up an hour after us so we used that waiting time to get showered and changed and then we all went out to have dinner together in a lovely Tai restaurant. After dinner we all went to a bar (which closed at midnight but the owner said he'd keep it open for us til 2am!) and we had a few vodkas. We were due to have a production meeting but the director and producer got held up with filming so we had nothing to do except drink while we waited for them (obviously!).
When they finally turned up, I had downed at least 4 vodkas (which is TONS for me) and was feeling slightly tipsy. We all sat in the bar for the meeting and then afterwards people gradually started making their way back to the hotel. I walked back with one of the runners (a really lovely girl who makes me really strong coffee all day long!) and when we got there, all the people who had already left were still standing in the lobby talking about the next days filming. We decided to have "one for the road" and all went into the hotel bar for a cheeky one. Eventually I could barely keep my eyes open so staggered up to bed and fell asleep in my clothes. I was woken by a text at about 2am from Dave saying that him and Jord were in Dukes (a nightclub) and that they were very drunk. Managed to fall asleep again but was woken at 5.30am by my alarm and then my make-up artist banging on my door. We were dressed and made up and ready to go by 7am so we went to meet all the crew for a quick breakfast before going to film for the whole day outside in the freezing cold.
My feet still haven't warmed up and I can't feel my toes. That's all I can tell you I'm afraid! Still can't tell you what I'm filming which is annoying cos I wanna scream about it from the roof of my house. I feel so lucky to have been given this job and even luckier still to be working with the nicest crew in the world! Mark - when I'm a MEGA-star YOU will be credited for all of it!
I can't actually believe that the people in charge (they know who they are) have given me this opportunity! It's everything I've ever wanted to do and until now no one has given me the chance! I really hope I do them all proud! And if I don't? Well... it's been the most fun ever! We haven't stop laughing from beginning to end and it's also been a real journey for everyone involved!
So - what else can I talk about? Erm....... Well, right now Jord is sitting watching TV in my living room and Dave is out at work DJ-ing in London. I came home and Dave had tidied the whole house for me (he'd even hoovered everywhere!) - see girls - that's what we ALL need! A man who will clean up and keep things tidy! What a joy to come home to - I won't be needing my cleaners soon if this carries on! I'm being a real bitch to Dave at the moment. I know I am but I can't help it! The thing is; when I'm at work I put 200% into it and by the time I get home I am mentally drained to the point that I don't even want to talk. I need at least a few hours of silence before I slowly come back to life again (which is what has happened now at 11pm while Dave is at work and Jord is about to go home! Bummer). Poor Dave is all hyper and wants to chat non-stop but I can barely even manage to mumble a few noises at him. I know it's awful but when this is all over I'll give him lots of cuddles and silly chats! Right now I need (and want) to put all my energy into my work. I love work more than anything. I've said it loads of times but I am so NOT lazy. I hate sitting around doing nothing - I'd work 7 days a week if I could (with the odd day off her and there so I could go out and swing from a chandelier in a club!). Also I take work quite seriously (I say "quite" cos there's ALWAYS room for a bit of fun!) and I always want to do the very best I can - this means that I pour myself into it and everyone around me either doesn't talk to me or if they do they have to put up with me grunting like a cave man for a while until I can resume normal conversation. Luckily Dave understands (being a DJ and very creative himself, he knows what it's like to put work first and to let everything else suffer for what you want to do!).
On that note I want to share with you a couple of texts he sent me earlier tonight:
The first one - "God has blessed you with the most gorgeous, beautiful smile in the world. Every time you look at me, pull a silly face or simply kiss me unexpectedly I become overwhelmed with joy (have butterflies in my stomach as I write this!) You truly are beautiful beyond compare and I have no doubt in my mind that I have found my soul mate & the true love of my life! x x x x (Put this on your blog!)"
I replied and he then sent this: "I love you too and I mean every word. Don't ever doubt me in any way. I would never lie to you or hurt you; only make you happy and protect you. You were right when you first saw me to know I was The One cos I am! We are meant for each other (even though you are a stalker!) You mean the world to me (I am actually smiling as I write this, people on the train are looking at me weird! Lol. What a geek!) Sweet Dreams x x x"
See - am I a lucky girl or what?! He's amazing and lovely and loves me more than anything! Yipeeeeeee! He's also fit and sexy with a giant you-know-what but I don't wanna be making you all too jellus now!
I suppose I had better be honest with you - the week that me and Dave finally met (I know I STILL haven't told you the story of how we met and I will soon I promise), we were going to get married. Yes - you heard right - we were going to get married the week we met!!! The thing is that in this country you have to give notice of intention to wed 15 days before you do it and we didn't want to that. The reason we didn't want to do that is that your names go up on a public notice board for the 15 days, which means that by the time we did it; the whole world would know and it would have been a media frenzy! Not good! That's the exact opposite to what we wanted. We wanted to do it privately - we wanted to do it just for US! The only other options were to go abroad or go to Gretna Green (neither of which were feasible either as I had started filming this TV show and couldn't get away!). So- there you have it. I would have been Jodie Marsh-Doyle by now if I'd had my way but the laws of this country put a swift halt to our plans! I do think it's RIDICULOUS that your names get put up on a public notice board. What if you're like me and you really want to just do it privately?! It's no one else's business but mine and Dave's - we don't want to advertise it to the world! Oh well - I'll probably end up doing it in Barbados or something!
So all is still amazingly good in my world at the moment. I'm doing the job I always wanted to do, I've got a fit loving man and it's nearly Christmas!!! It's also less than 2 weeks til my birthday. I don't want to get any older but I LOVE birthdays still. It's an excuse to have a tantrum, cry, make demands and get loads of pressies! Only joking.... I love birthdays in general because they're a time when all my mates get together and HAVE IT!!!!!!!!! This year is going to be particularly messy as I am dong a pub crawl with about 30 people! There's about 20 pubs in Brentwood (all in walking distance from each other) and if we have a drink and a shot in each, we will be in all sorts of bother by the end of it! I'm also planning on having everyone do the crawl in some sort of fancy dress.
Talking of tantrums on birthdays, did I tell you about Lauren's last one?! The one where she sat on the floor of my parents house for 2 hours sulking and crying because we wouldn't let her drive home and we had hidden her keys (after she'd downed half a bottle of tequila to herself AFTER the 20 vodkas, champagne, beer and other shots?!!) She turned into a 2 year old and it was one of the funniest things I have seen this year. In protest to the fact that we wouldn't let her out of the house (we'd also hidden the gate opener to the huge iron gates so she really was trapped); she decided to make a castle around her out of her presents! She was sitting in the middle of a giant mound of presents and wrapping paper with a face like a child who's just been severely told off! Every ten minutes or so, someone went out to check on her and she hadn't moved an inch. She was just sitting there surrounded by presents, looking like she was about to cry (still wearing her tiara and fairy wings). See kids - don't drink - it makes you look like a right wally! Hilarious stuff!!!!!!
Anyway - I'm off to bed now with a book and Paddy and Lyla. Jord is about to go home and I'm so tired that my contact lenses feel like they've been glued to my eyeballs. I can't wait to tell you all about this show I'm filming and I can't wait for it to be on TV! Hope you're all having a great week!
Lots and lots of love Jodie x x x x x
P.S Quote for the day: "Importance is a state of the mind and only when one understands his lowliness, will he be seen as truly important by others" From Emma on Myspace. This is so very true! I know it - shame Pete Burns doesn't! x x x x x x
P.P.S my MYspace address is www.myspace.com/youwishiwasyourbird - there's still loads of weirdos pretending to be me on there, so i'm told (what they get out of it I'll never know!) but this is the only real one and totally run by me!!!!
