23rd February 2006 - The one about wearing a lion tamer costume to Sunday dinner

Wow, I've got a day off today! I'm not really sure what to do with myself though. Everyone is at work and even the other bums are all busy!! Sarah and Dave are now in Portugal, Steve is working, Jordan and Russ are in the studio and even Kyle is working! I'm sat here in the new house with Paddy leaning his heavy head on my arm while I try to type. I'm typing this on my new laptop, which is now connected to the internet. Wooohooo! Only a few more days and I will have broadband on my home pc too. It's all coming together! I've got Dave's band Jagged playing in the background while I write and I'm drinking a fruit tea.



Last night mum and dad popped over the new house. My dad did a bit more DIY for me while me and my mum went through my receipts (my least favourite thing to do in the world) for the tax man. Me and Lauren ate Domino's delivery while Dave sat on the arm of my chair, laughing at me "narrating" (my mum's choice of word) to my mum. We came to a certain receipt that was from a costume shop in America. It had on it: Lion tamer costume, firegirl suit, Hollywood sexy gangster tuxedo, police suit and crotchless cowboy chaps. My mum actually had the silliness to ask me "would this one be business or private?" Comedy. It's not like I sit up at the dinner table on a Sunday dressed as a lion tamer!! It's most definitely business, as the outfits are what I wear to red carpet events and the like. Dave and Lauren couldn't contain themselves when my dad and I questioned my mum as to when the last time was that she saw me wandering around the house in my lion tamer costume was. They laughed hysterically and my mum laughed at herself for even asking the question. Just as we had all got over the laughing fit, and started to work on the receipts seriously again, Lauren said, "Can I borrow your sexy gangster tuxedo for dinner at my dad's tomorrow night babe?" and we all fell about. As you can imagine, not a lot got done last night. When marge and parge left; me, Dave and Lauren chatted about their two schools (with my best mate and boyfriend both being school teachers, it's all we ever seem to talk about - I think I could pretty mush run a school with how mush I know about the job!) and then Lauren left to get an early-ish night. Dave and I then had a Michael Jackson dvd night. We watched the whole of the Dangerous concert, followed by the videos to all his classic songs, followed by a couple of MTV performances. We're such geeks, we know every word to every song. We laid on the fur rug in front of my TV (my head on Dave's lap) singing at the tops of our voices. It was a really nice night though. It's also, I realised, the first time I've been out with a bloke who likes Michael Jackson as mush as I do! Normally if I wanted to watch a bit of Jackson, when in a relationship, I'd have to do it when the bloke isn't around!



The Jagged cd is still playing. The song on now has the line "When she walks in the room every head starts to turn" in it. I think Dave wrote the song about me ;)



Jordan and Russ just popped over. They are nursing big hangovers due to going out last night. They look rough!



Not to keep going on about Dave and bore the lot of you, but he's soooooo lovely. In bed last night we were having a cuddle and he told me that he's really happy. I am too. Like I've said already on blog, I've never been out with a friend before and I'm really enjoying how comfortable I feel, although at the same time, it's also new and exciting. In some ways, Dave and I are one and the same person, for all the things we love and have in common, but in other ways, we are the total opposite. The perfect balance I think. I just can't wait now for Kyle to come down at the weekend and suss us out. Kyle always tells it like it is and he'll tell me straight whether he thinks we're good together. Not that it makes a difference what anyone else thinks but the bottom line with Kyle is that he's my soul mate and best friend. If all else fails and I never get married or settle down then me and Kyle will be living in a house together til we're 90. Kyle HAS to approve of my boyfriends, purely cos he spends so mush time with me and also cos he knows me better than anyone. If he doesn't like them, then I just know it won't work. The joy already is that, of course, Kyle already knows Dave and really likes him. He just needs to see us together so that he can check it's as good as I say it is. Then, we'll be full steam ahead. I'm starting to think about holiday destinations already for when Dave is on his next half term from school. It's about time I had a holiday, or else go and get another tattoo (which will really p*ss off the parental units).



I forgot to tell you, someone bought me a present the other day to say thank you for something. They had it delivered to my house. It was 5 bottles of vodka. Not just normal bottles though, each bottle is full of gems and sandstone. It's the most amazing vodka I've ever seen!!! The gems are all coloured and they glisten like diamonds inside the vodka. They look so beautiful, I don't want to drink it!



Since I have nothing to do this afternoon (and although I would love to go and get a tattoo, I'm restraining myself a little while longer, due to the fact that I've already got ten and don't want an odd number, which would mean going and getting two done at once), I am going to go and tidy my dressing room. Currently the whole floor is covered in clothes and it's the only room left in the whole house that isn't tidy and doesn't look amazing. After that I might join Jordan and Russ in the pub for a cheeky drink. Tonight is one of my best mate's birthdays. I'm supposed to be going for a drink in London with her but I've also got a job on so I need to try and work out a way to do both.



Hope you're all having a good day. I hope Dave isn't getting too mush stress at school from the kids and/or staff. I know that over night, his life has been turned upside-down for going out with me and I feel sorry for him. Not too sorry, mind, as if he thinks HE has a hard time, then he wants to try being ME!!!! ;) At the same time, it's not nice to suddenly have everyone pointing at you and talking about you. It's something I've kind of got used to but for him it's all new. It's a little bit scary that he might hate the attention so mush it'll make him want to bail out. I don't think he will but you never know. Dave, if you're reading this; stick with it, it'll get better. I am very happy and proud to be your girlfriend and I think we have lots of fun in store for the future and I can't wait to see you perform on stage tomorrow night with Jagged.



That's it, I'm off to tidy..... I hope Sarah and Dave are having a lovely time (she'll probably text me later on today to make me jellus). Have a good day people...



Lots of love from a loved-up Jodie Marsh in Brentwood, typing from her new laptop in her new house, with Paddy's big head still resting on her arm, making it difficult to type.
