3rd October 2006 - I'm back and I remembered what I had to say....

Hello world - I'm back. I feel a lot better after eating Jord's home-made veggie burgers. I'm still a little bit stressed at typing a whole blog and deleting it by accident but I am officially what's known as a "chicken twat". That's our new saying cos last night I shouted "Chicken - Twat!" when I opened the saucepan with the chicken in it. My mum and dad have decided that "Chicken twat" should be our new abusive term and whenever anyone does or says something silly, they shout "chicken twat" - yes we know we're weird but if you were at Marsh Manors right now you would be laughing as mush as all of us are.

So, one of the things I wanted to talk about was the fact that Lyla looks like she's got socks on. She's got brown legs, one pure white foot (trainer sock) and one leg that's white from the "knee" down (normal sock). If she were human then she would wear odd socks anyway cos she is a bit dopey. Sarah laughed earlier when we were putting her in the car and said to her "Lyla - you can't go out with odd socks on!" ha ha ha ha ha. Oh we do have a laugh us girlies!

I also want to talk about how mush I love Paddy. I was looking at him last night and I realised that sometimes I lose hours just sitting watching him and/or talking to him. I could never get bored of looking at his face and staring into his big brown eyes. He's got such human eyes. The love and happiness he (and all my dogs) brings me is immeasurable. One silly man actually tried to make me choose between Paddy and him one day. He didn't want to sleep with Paddy in the bed. To be perfectly honest I'd rather have made the guy sleep outside in the dog kennel all night than make Paddy move into another room. Fool. Paddy loves me and protects me and he's better than any man I've ever been out with.

Actually while I'm on that subject; Sarah and I had a long deep chat last night about how something good always seems to come out of something bad. For example: Paddy came from Fran. The best thing in my life came from the worst thing. We wondered if it's a karma type thing whereby you can't just be given good things for nothing, you have to sacrifice something to get it. The sacrifice I made was being with the lying, cheating, poncing, fame-seeking Fran but resulted in me getting the best thing that has ever happened to me: Paddy. He has got to be the most handsome bulldog in the world. And it's not just me who thinks it; everyone who sees him thinks he is amazing and falls in love with him (apart from weirdo blokes who don't like animals full stop - and I don't want those kind in my life anyway). Paddy is a legend!!!!

I had taken some great quotes out of my mate Emily's book for this blog but I can't remember them word for word now and I have also deleted them out of the notebook on my phone so I will write either again tonight or tomorrow with my amazing discoveries.

Today Sarah and I went shopping and filled my fridge with amazing treats like vanilla milk, raspberry cheesecake and passion fruit. We had a really nice afternoon. Now that we have had dinner, we are waiting for Carolina to get here so that we can start watching our films. We're having a proper girlie night in with films and chocolate and hot milk. Carolina is due in half an hour - just enough time for me to write this blog and get it online before I stupidly delete it! What a chicken twat!

I got a present delivered to my house today. It's a giant dog bed for Paddy and Lyla. It's from www.theironpetbedcompany.co.uk While I was filming It's Me Or The Dog, they got in touch and asked if I would like a doggie bed compliments of them. Of course I said yes and I received it today. They asked me what colour my lounge is and I told them 'black and white' and they have hand-made me a giant iron bed with a zebra print and black velvety cushion. They didn't know I actually already had zebra-print in my lounge so I was totally shocked and delighted when I got it!!! Check them out if you own a dog or cat cos these beds are the BEST beds in the world. Seriously, it's fit for a Prince! The dogs love it! So I just wanna say a MASSIVE thank you to the Iron Pet Bed Company cos I love it and it looks amazing in my house. Special thanks to Graham and Carole! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

It totally matches the style of my house, which is trendy and modern but still comfy. I love my house. I was thinking about it last night. My house is my haven and I have done it out to match my personality. I've got a jungle room (by that I mean full of animal prints, leopard skin, plants and whole trees - not a room playing jungle music), I've got a black and white room and a room full of wolf-skin (although not real of course). One of the things I read last night in Emily's book is how great living alone is and I totally agree. I remember when I was going out with Dimples and he tried to help me furnish my house. In the end I told him he wasn't allowed to come shopping with me. He didn't like any of my choices and ultimately it was never going to be him that ended up living there anyway. Now when I look around my perfectly clean and tidy house (thanks to my cleaners) I know that I have furnished it in exactly the way I wanted to and it looks the nuts!!! It's always tidy (I don't have a smelly man leaving mess everywhere that I have to clear up), it's beautiful and I'm proud of it. I love every inch of it and I feel warm and safe and comfortable when I'm there. There's also the odd giant naked poster of me from various cool jobs I've done to remind me how well I've done and how good I can look (when I bother making an effort!) . Ha ha. I seriously love my house and I love the fact that everything in it is my own and my own choice. You see, if I'd have moved in with a bloke then you can guarantee he wouldn't have let me devote a whole room to make-up or sexy underwear (well, he might have let me have the sexy underwear room especially as included in that are all the sex toys!) but right now my house is every girl's dream house and it's all MINE!!! The joys of living alone!!! Until I read the chapter about living alone I hadn't really even thought about it. Now though I feel proud of myself that I have achieved it and that I am independent. I'm also glad I don't have to cook for anyone else, wash someone else's dirty underwear and share the remote control. I can watch as many episodes of Friends as I want, I can watch as many films and programs about dancing as I want and I can watch the Moto GP every Sunday without some silly man demanding to watch the football. It's marvellous.

Anyway, enough about my tidy house and how mush I love it. What else is new? Oh yeah... me and Carolina realised a few days ago that the hotel we've booked for Valencia is about a 2 hour drive away from where we need to be. All the other hotels are fully booked so I spoke to my mate Sally (who did the sensible thing and booked ages ago) and she has kindly said that we can have the sofa bed in her room if we want! We're so excited. It's going to be non-stop partying and carnage. We are going to go mental out there. I can't wait!!! Plus we're going to be surrounded by some of the fittest men in the whole world (but more about that nearer the time).

My mum did cry reading yesterday's blog like I thought she would. She said that she's just a normal mum who loves her kids more than anything. Let me tell you; she's far from normal - she's got a weird telephone voice she puts on..... Ha ha. Joke. I meant everything I said in that blog. It's all true; my mum and dad are amazing. They have done more for me than anyone and they continue to amaze me with their love and support and encouragement. They are NOT your average parents - they're the best in the whole world and words do not describe how mush I love them!

So, me, my mum, dad, Jord, Lauren and Sarah have all stuffed ourselves with home-made burgers and chips and now we are ready to settle down with a load of chocolate and watch our chosen films. We'll probably be up until about 4am again cos we've got two to get through and plus we'll have to do the annoying girlie thing of chatting about men, slagging off men, sharing rude pictures of men on our mobile phones and perving over other ones.

Have a good night world -sorry if there are spelling and/or grammar mistakes in this but I don't have time to go back and check it cos Carolina has arrived and I have to go.

Lots of love and doggie licks on the face
