30th January 2006 - Mummy Marsh's Birthday (Part 1 of 2)

Mummy Marsh's Birthday & I'm covered in paint again and the truth behind BB!

Blimey! Firstly.... I lied! Sorry, I know I said I'd write every day again but I have been so busy it's not true! I really am gonna try and get back to writing every day - it's just difficult, as every time I get in from a day's work and a few hours in the new house painting or moving furniture about, I seem to collapse onto the sofa and pass out cold within a few minutes. I've slept on the sofa about 4 times this last week already, where I conked out and didn't stir til the morning.

In brief, I have been on CDUK (which was great fun and I got to spend the morning with Preston), I have done the last ever hideous Big Brother show (Yipeeeee! NEVER have to see their faces again!), I have been on twenty thousand radio shows, I have filmed the Orange Playlist show (Which was brilliant! It's a bit like 'Cribs' but based around my favourite music. They filmed and interviewed me all over my mum and dad's house and in a few of the rooms in my new house and came to one of my brother's gigs! It's on ITV next Wednesday the 8th Feb - don't miss it! It was quite funny cos Jayne Middlemiss the presenter of the show said, back in the summer while she was on "Twat Island" - "I'll kick her f*cking head in when I get back to England" about me when she became friends with Fran, she then had to come to MY house and interview me! Bet she felt just ever so slightly uncomfortable!), my two cousins from Bournemouth came up for the weekend which was lovely (I got to spend a bit of time with them in between working) and today is my mum's birthday.

After my brother's gig last night, Rusty and Stevie stayed at mine. We got up this morning and while Russ went to work, me and Stevie went to the new house. I started to put a second coat of paint on all the windows in the lounge while Steve took down measurements for things I still need to buy. After a couple of hours, I'd had enough and ended up calling Russ to come back round and finish it for me. I've decided that painting is the most boring thing ever and I actually have more of it on me and in my hair than on the windows. I've had two showers and it still won't come off. Leaving Russ there to paint and Franco the carpenter there to put up shelves and rails in the dressing room, Steve and I went shopping for birthday presents for mother and for more house stuff. I bought a bargain mirror to go on my red brick fireplace. Very happy, until we had to somehow get it in the TT to bring it home. We ended up having it behind the seats with the roof down. Do you have any idea how cold we were?! Not at all fun! Steve turned the music up really loud to try and blot out the pain and we shivered the half hour drive home. We got some lovely flowers for mum too and the guy in the florist was really cute. Steve decided that we should make it our regular florist as they did really nice flowers and also because he wants to go back and perve over the fit man.

Today was my first day off since coming out of the house. Although I've been running around all day and on the phone so mush my ear is burning, it's still been really nice. In fact I've only got one job this week and I'm trying to keep it that way. If I can have this week off then I reckon I can be moved in properly by the weekend.

I have just come back from a restaurant which I took my mum and dad to for her birthday. It was really nice. We had a real giggle at the table as we recalled hilarious family moments and we talked about teaching Paddy to learn his way from my new house back to my mum and dad's so that he can go and visit every day. Obviously that's not gonna happen but wouldn't it be nice if dogs could do that? Just let themselves out and go for a visit to the grandparents!
Linsey Dawn Mackenzie has set a date for her wedding to her boyfriend Mark. She has asked me to be a witness on the day. I'm so thrilled! They're getting married in Spain. All the family are going out there and I think Kyle is coming too. She's also had her boobs reduced by four sizes!!!! She's really happy and says they look amazing! I can't wait to see her. I really miss her! She's been living in Spain for quite a while now. The wedding will be spectacular. She's gonna look beautiful! Can you tell how excited I am?! Ha ha. I just can't wait! I'll take loads of pics!!!

I suppose you all want to know how the final BB show went?! Well, yeah it was ok. I was dreading it to be honest. I desperately wanted to pull out but was contracted to do it. Funny, cos George and Dennis managed to get out of it. I wonder if they're still getting paid?! On the final night when Chantelle won (Yipeee by the way - soooooo happy she won - obviously!), I made it pretty clear to the other housemates how I felt about them. Michael tried to kiss me and I politely but firmly told him "no" and turned my back. Rula said hello and tried to be friendly, again I just said "hi" and made it clear I didn't want to make conversation. Pete tried to kill me by staring - if looks could kill and all that, and I ignored everyone else except Chantelle, Preston and Faria. I didn't go the after party (by the way, the Mirror newspaper LIED and said I did go - again I urge you to not buy these lying rags!) - when the show finished at 11pm or whatever time it was, I jumped in my car and shot straight home with Sarah and Michelle. Why would I want to party with the likes of Burns, Galloway and Barrymore?! I have to also say Thank You to the fans there on the night. When the beast Pete got evicted, he/she got the worst booing a housemate has ever received. All the way through his/her interview with Davina, the crowd chanted my name and then when she questined him/her about me they chanted "bully" at him/her. Nobody could even hear what he/she was saying! Pure comedy. Not that it's right to gloat at somebody else's misfortune but he/she did make a rod for his/her own back by being as nasty as he/she was to me (and everybody else) in the house.

On the reunion show that I so desperately didn't want to do, Rula tried to talk to me again. She said "Jodie, did you know that Traci and Dennis had both done add campaigns for PETA, the animal rights charity?" I replied "yes Rula, that's why I was so annoyed that they didn't back me up in the row against Pete and his fur coat" she said "Well I didn't know, I can't believe it" I simply said "yeah well, nobody backed me up anyway and I think it's disgusting that they, of all people, didn't say a word - clearly they don't care about animals as mush as they claim to". The conversation finished at that. I know Rula was actually finally agreeing with me on something that I was most definitely right about, but it was too little too late I'm afraid and I didn't have time for it. As one of PETA's spokespeople, I knew full well that Traci and Dennis had done campaigns, we even talked about it in the house. The fact that they didn't say a word to Pete thoroughly disgusted me, and Traci even spent one afternoon rolling round on the floor hugging and playfighting Pete while he/she was wearing the vile thing. So mush for being a true campaigner. That just proves in my eyes that the pair of them only did those adds to get their own picture in another newspaper or magazine. Don't support something if you don't really care - it's fake and nasty. Anyway back to the show, Pete, the loser, swore live on air at 12o'clock midday while kids at home were watching - he/she can't even get a tiny thing like not swearing right! He said "f*cking" if you're even interested! ha ha. So terribly unprofessional! Michael stayed out of my way and me and Chantelle had lots of hugs and she told me 50 times how she'd cried her eyes out in the diary room the night I left! Bless her. Can't wait for a night out with her when all the madness dies down!!!

I am still very mush single after the whole Dimples thing. I'm not even craving a man in the slightest. My new house is keeping me too busy anyway and I can't think of anything worse than having someone to answer to right now. Have any of you girls out there noticed that there's no eye candy anyway at the moment? Sorry guys - I just haven't even seen anything worth a second glance on my travels recently (apart from fit man in florists). Just as well cos I don't need distracting from work, house, dogs, family, friends, fan mail and website! I've got so mush on that if I did meet someone I'd only be able to see them once a month! Although I wouldn't say no if Rossi wanted a date, of course. Which reminds me, Dave has been working at a motorbike show for a few days and last night he brought round all the new Rossi gear for me - hat, shirt, keyrings etc. Well chuffed!!! I've been wearing the cap all day today. Nothing excites me more than a bit of Rossi merchandise!

Just a couple of shouts out now:

Carole Malone - very nasty old journalist. Just heard she's doing Celebrity Fat Club. She has slated me more than a few times in her silly column she writes in some rag paper. She pretends to be intelligent, classy and definitely superior to the likes of me. Well now she's famous for being so fat she had to go on a cheap reality show to lose weight in front of a TV audience. Hilarious. Nothing wrong with being overweight by the way, I've been overweight before and I'm sure I will be again, but to go on TV for it and let people watch you stepping on and off scales and sweating and puffing as you try to run around some garden is just gross. She must be desperate for money or something. Silly old mare. Well done. Not. I mean - at least do a credible reality show like Big Brother. Ha ha. Celebrity Fat Club. Comedy.
Ok magazine - freaks! Picked it up the other day at a shoot I was doing to have a flick. It was a few weeks old. Two big articles about me in it. One comparing the whole of my life to the whole of Jordan's. Bascially saying that I am copying everything she does. Er... no. One of the things they were "proving" their point with was the fact that I "copied" her brown hair. Actually, we both turned up the same night at the Dukes of Hazzard Premiere with brown hair. I had dyed it a week before that as part of a job for New Woman magazine. Because it was an exclusive deal, I had to wear a blonde wig for a week so that no one else would get the pictures. I certainly didn't copy her as I didn't know til that night that she had died hers brown anyway. Besides that, I was paid to dye it back to it's natural colour. It was a job. Nothing to do with her. Anyway, I didn't read the rest of the article as it was such tripe, I felt that if I carried on reading I would end up wanting to go into their offices and smash the "writer's" head through their computer screen. If I really wanted to be anything like Jordan I would have had a baby by the first rich footballer I could find, I'd get married quick and wear a ridiculous outfit (not to mention sell every single picture of my pregnancy test, hen night, wedding, honeymoon, having a shit, plucking my ear hair etc), I'd make a porno film and pretend it was stolen and I'd lie to the papers every week about stuff like buying a pink aeroplane or whatever, that they would then stupidly lap up as they have nothing real or fruitful to write about.

The second article, which they actually put on the front page, was a re-print of a shoot I did for them about two and a half years ago that they tried to make look like it was recent and new. They even had the audacity to air-brush my blonde hair to brown to make it look like I'd done a new shoot with them!! Weirdos. F*ck off OK - until you get a new editor and new team of journalists who will actually write true/nice stuff or will at the very least get out of Jordan's lipo-sucked arse, I won't work with you. Stop trying to make it look like I do work with you and I yet again urge my fans not to buy into this crap. When something is real and true then great. You can rest assured that I will tell you when something IS real and true and OK mag is the farthest from the truth that can be.

Like I've said before, I'd rather not be in these magazines if they are going to print vile/made up things.

Jamie Theakston - on Heart FM. Apparently he did a really nice radio show devoted to me recently. He was urging people to call in with dedication songs for me to cheer me up. Very lovely of him!! I don't know what I did to deserve that but I greatly appreciate it. Thanks Jamie!

Rick Parfitt Junior, Syd Little, Fenton Gee, Vanessa Feltz, Germaine Greer and anybody else that went on BBLB or BBBM or radio shows to defend me while I was in the house of hell. Thanks to all of you. You are all amazing people, you don't need me to tell you that! I really appreciate your support and I think you are all wicked!

Everyone on the street - I have had nothing but praise and support and kindness since coming out of the BB house. It's totally overwhelming and thoroughly great! I wanted to change public perception in the house, and although not able to do that my own way (due to being totally miserable from geing picked on by three hideous dictating old men), it appears that public perception has changed cos everyone now loves me to bits. I'm loving it and it's more than I ever dreamed of. Anyone who watched Trust Me I'm a Holiday Rep would have seen the real me anyway and would know that I had a really hard time in the house. i don't need to keep defending my actions. I didn't talk about sex constantly - actually others in there talked about it far more than me. If you think: there are 11 people awake and talking for 18 hours a day, then of course the topic of sex is going to come up a few times a day. I wasn't the one bringing it up all the time and Pete and Dennis said far more vile things than I did. It's just the way that the show's editors of course have to make a riveting one hour show out of all that footage. Aside from that I was going through the pain of the anniversary of Kim's death and I was picked on by not just the three old men, sorry make that two men and one "thing/beast/weirdo/not quite sure what it is but it's scary", but also by the whole house (minus Chantelle, Preston and Faria). It wasn't nice for me. I hated it in fact, but it seems the public have seen the truth and are being amazing!!! Much as it was tough for me and I am probably still being slated in the likes of NOW mag or some other stupid magazine, everything is great in the real world. Thanks again to the zillions of people coming up to me every day to give messages of support and happiness.

I'm off to have a read in bed before I get a reasonably early night. Russ is meeting me at the new house at 9am tomorrow to finish the painting for me and I am spending the day with Sarah. Sorry if there are loads of spelling mistakes in this blog but I have typed it really quickly, I'm tired, my glasses are dirty so I can't even see properly and I really can't be arsed to go back and read it to correct any mistakes. I'm not dumb (IQ of 136 thank you very mush Big Brother), just lazy tonight and also have cold fingers which doesn't help with typing. I absolutely promise to write again tomorrow. Sweet dreams everyone or happy working (as you will probably read this at work tomorrow now). Lots of love
