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.S Second Quote for the day: "We are here to be excited from youth to old age, to have an insatiable curiosity about the world" Norman Vincent Peale, US Cleric & Writer
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
