Hello everyone it's Sarah and it's my turn to write the blog today. Can I just apologise to everyone that I have helped Jodie lie to in the past few weeks, with our detailed embellishments regarding her trip to 'America'. I am sure you can all understand why this was necessary, and I really hope you all give her your full support while she is in the House.
The last few weeks have been stressful to say the least. Most of December was taken up with organising Jodie's party at the Sugar Hut, which was a storming success by the way if you hadn't already noticed, and I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all the suppliers, entertainers and companies who assisted in making the evening a breathtaking unforgettable experience for all who attended. The list of contact details for all involved will be posted on the blog soon so watch this space guys! Dave spent countless joyous hours sitting next to me as I shopped for gorilla suits, gold party poppers and the perfect table confetti on the net...and then had to tolerate me as I obsessed endlessly about every single detail and arrangement for the event.
Once the party was out of the way, we then had to fit in all our Christmas shopping, Boxing Day plans, iceskating ( my knees are still bruised!!) and plans for the New Year. On top of this we had to try and keep Jodie sane as she was becoming increasingly worried about doing CBB. Jodie found it particularly hard to emotionally prepare for CBB. The date was looming fast and she simply did not have the time to fit in everything she wanted and needed to do. She was being scathed on the net and in the press over Christmas which was really getting to her, and it was also immense pressure keeping CBB a secret from everyone, making it really hard to discuss her fears and concerns in case anyone overheard. The last couple of days before she left she looked really drained and I remember scolding her in my office, telling her to dose up on vitamins and get an early night before the big day. In reality however (and true Jodie style), I found myself in Jodie's living room at 5am on the day she was leaving, sleep deprived and stressed out, debating with Stevie about how we were going to fit that extra pair of furry boots in the suitcase. Jodie was sitting on the sofa looking like a petrified little rabbit caught in headlights by this point and when her trembling croaky voice piped up " but please.... I neeeeed them!" we looked in her deep brown little girl lost eyes and knew we had to do everything we could to make her feel a little bit better...and so we spent the next hour standing, jumping, dancing and lying on the suitcase until we got it closed.
As her friends, we have all been incredibly nervous about Jodie doing CBB, and to be honest I really did not realise that it was going to be this hard for all of us watching Jodie in the house. I am so glad that she decided to do CBB as I really want people to get to see what the real Jodie is like, rather believing the absolute rubbish that the papers say. Jodie is an incredibly intelligent, funny person with a heart of gold and I get e-mails from people all the time that have had all sorts of preconceptions about her after reading the press but then they have met her and have completely changed their opinion of her. Here's a classic example:
"Hope you all had a great Christmas. Tell Jodie I am still waiting to see the photos of her birthday. It was a great night we had a fantastic time.
Also tell Jodie to ignore those arseholes from those shit mags who slate her. They obviously have never met her as the comments would be different if they had."

For all you cynics out there who think that Jodie was putting on a tearful show for a sympathy vote last night, please put yourselves in our shoes for a second, as the people who know and love Jodie. We had to sit there and watch someone we love break down from the stress and the pain and the hurt she has been caused from the vile things that have been said about her on the net and in the press in the last few weeks, and there was absolutely nothing we could do about it. We know the reality of what she goes through every day and had to sit through that last night, not able to give her a cuddle or dry her tears or tell her everything is gonna be ok. How would you feel if it was one of your friends? Or your sister? Or your daughter? I really didn't think that it was going to be this hard for all of us. I just hope it makes people see a different side of Jodie, the real Jodie, who is only human after all, and maybe makes them think twice before the next time they make a flippant hurtful remark about her. Nobody likes abuse or insults, and there should be nothing shameful about getting down about it once in a while. Only a heartless person would be able to find something to ridicule in that...and if you do, i truly wonder how you sleep at night.
Anyway, on a more positive note I would like to give a quick big up to Tellytubby from the Sport today - cheers mate, loved the comments. Keep them coming!
My final summary of CBB so far? I feel its a bit early to pass judgement on any of the housemates just yet. I think by the time i do my next blog, I will have a better idea about everyones characters. Judging from Jodie's behaviour, I feel that everyone is still a little apprehensive and settling in so I don't feel we are seeing their true colours just yet. Pete Burns? I know you are still finding your feet in there, and I appreciate that, but put your claws away and lay off my girl or you will soon be feeling my wrath...
Keep watching guys!
Sarah
