Cleopatra?...... Oh Brother!!.... I'm Losing It!!...

Monday 21st March, Woke at 9am, nice sunny day out so I changed into dark grey & white TMC gym trousers, white vest top & B&W TrimSoles fitness fit flops, and went for my weekly 2hr walk in the Park, after a coffee & Oat so Simple 1st for breakfast. Then I went on to the Job Centre, to see if there were any new suitable local jobs to apply for? Then I went to the Library to print off my lines, to learn for tomorrows audition. I got home & checked my Hotmail, for responses for jobs/auditions, then updated Twitter & Facebook statuses and Chatted for a bit to *John C, he asked if I'd noticed him sat in the 'Is It Just Me' audience last Wednesday? I said 'To be honest we could only see some of the audience to our right the audience in front of us had big spotlights behind them, which were pointed at us 'The 50' so they were all in a dark silhouette so No I didn't see you!' 

I mentioned again that I had Friend Requested him on Facebook (again) in case like me, his friends, friend requests don't show up, like sometimes they don't, in my friend request section. Yet again he made no reference to that information, in his reply to me, hmmmm? We chatted about my blog (I'd sent him a link after he'd asked about it) I said he might even feature in it, so did he want his name or an *Alias to protect the innocent? He laughed & said 'Lol I'm far from innocent, but will take the *Alias!!'

Fixed myself a lunch of 2 Wholemeal Pittas, stuffed with King Prawns & Greek Salad, washed down with a caramel cappuccino, and watched 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County' Then I did a load of job & audition searches, applying for a bunch. Then I went over & over my lines for my audition tomorrow. I can say them OK in my head, when I am memorising them, but get a bit tongue tied when saying them out loud (This is when a flatmate or boyfriend would be handy to rehearse my lines with!) I continued to try to memorise my lines, while downing a few Diet Cokes until 6.30pm & then watched 'Home & Away' & then I had another Pitta with King Prawns & Coleslaw ...Yummy.

I watched the soaps, then practiced my lines again, for the rest of the night, forgetting that Glee is on! I'm still getting tongue tied on one bit of dialogue!! The rest I can recall fine (Although I keep having an urge, on occasion, to refer to Coach Simpson, as as Chief Simpson) I went to bed at 1am & read the paper. The front page is the Top Guns strike on one of Gaddafi's Military Convoys. 

Dan On 'Take Me Out'

Kerry Katona is now supposedly dating 'Dan Foden' who was on last Saturdays 'Take Me Out' No doubt this is another CAN management smoke screen, to distract from her marriage wrecking romance with her boot camp, fitness trainer!! She has known Dan quite some time, as a friend. So I'm sure he would go along with a rouse, to distract attention from Kerry's true romance. Plus having the added bonus of getting himself a bit of fame at the same time! 

 Dan & Kerry

A bit on Jordan/Katie Prices new romance (bored by it now!) Then more on the search for poor Sian 22, who vanished on Saturday, after a night out with the girls. I have a horrible feeling it wont have a happy ending!! I finished the paper & my Decaf Coffee & then went off to sleep! (Calories consumed 1,608)

Tuesday 22nd March,  Woke at 9am, I can't recall any of my dream, I had a bath & hair wash, then had some cheese on toast for breakfast, washed down with a coffee. Today at 3.40pm I Audition for the part of Cleopatra in the film 'Malay' at The St Giles Hotel, Feltham, Middlesex, which is past Heathrow. I dried my hair with a full fringe and tendrils at the side & scooped the rest of my hair up in a high ponytail & added my long curly faux ponytail on top, did a aqua eyeshadow, with black liquid liner (In Homage to the OTHER Cleopatra!) with peach lip gloss. I wore my Peacock blue/green, Jane Norman, Jersey blouse, with my black studded jersey leggings, tucked into long, flat, black boots, with my aqua Jacques Vert short jacket, and a fine diamanté necklace with ethnic looking drop diamanté earrings. 

Went over my lines again & again, as I only had yesterday evening to learn them (I wonder how long the other auditionee's have had their scripts? Or if they were all contacted last minute like me?) I really need someone local to rehearse with, I don't know what the set up is there, so I rehearsed my lines sat at my table, as if it was my office desk (my audition peace is for Mrs Richardson, as it is for all the actresses over 35) With my cat draft excluder to my right as my secretary Natalie, and the big candle stick to my left, as Coach Simpson, with my script on the desk doubling as my papers & the notification. 

The Table I Rehearsed At, As My Desk

I fixed myself lunch a pitta filled with lentil salad and some Twiglets & a Diet Coke. Then at 12.45pm I set off for the station, packing a foldable umbrella in my bag, along with my script file, just in case the sky's opened up on me while I tried to find the hotel. I got the train from St Albans to Kings Cross, then I got the Northern Line to Waterloo, then it was onto a Slough train at Waterloo, to go the 13 stops to Feltham. The hotel was easy to find as it was right by the station. 

I was a bit early, but found my way to the hotel room, for the audition, on the 1st floor (As advertised on a bog board in reception) I knocked but nobody was there (not a surprise, as I assumed they would of been having a lunch break, until castings resumed from 3pm) A few minutes later a very smiley Indian guy arrived & asked if I was there for the audition? I said indeed I was & he ushered me inside, the room that was empty, all but for a chair & small table that another man came in & sat at, writing notes.


He told me I looked perfect for the part, he said that 'Cleopatra' was the beauty of the film (Bloody hell do I get free plastic surgery with the role??) He said she is a woman in mid 40's to 50's who looks good for her age. She is married to a rich influential man, and is a bit up her self & a snob, all the lead men lust after her & she knows it & leads them a merry dance! He asked had I learnt the lines? I said 'I only got them yesterday, I know most, but I get a bit tongue tied on one of the longer pieces of dialogue!' The guy said he really liked my look, my sparkling eyes, my smile & my hair (Will you tell him or should I? lol) He made me hold up a card with my name & my character 'Cleopatra' on, then stand holding it up facing him & his Camera/Camcorder then facing left, right & with my back to him. 

He asked me of my acting experience & he asked if I'd acted in the Theatre before? I said 'No the closest I have come to acting on stage was with a Amateur Dramatics Group about 20+ years ago!!' Then he asked me to say the lines to camera, with nobody to play the coach or the secretary, which was a bit disconcerting, with nobody to respond to. I was tempted to see if maybe I could take the table & chair off the other guy, as a prop to do it, as I'd done at home, but as the guy was taking notes at it, I thought maybe best not!!


I did my lines into the Camcorder, but with nobody to bounce off & no props, it was harder to get into character, and a couple of times, I got tongue tied over the dialogue, that was getting me tongue tied at home (I could of done with a rehearsal buddy, near me at home) He said I could do it using the script, but looking down to the words for the tongue tied bit, kind of diluted the acting bit, and I was almost tempted to say 'Captain' instead of 'Coach' once or twice. I wished I could of switched 'Coach Simpson' for 'Coach Smith' as it rolled off the tongue easier (As they were NOT Cleopatra's lines anyway!!) I wished I'd been contacted sooner & had at least a day, or two more, to learn my lines in, as I knew my performance today was way off my ability's!!


The Director said not too worry too much about my lines, as they were Not Cleopatra's lines & I could have a 'acting master-class' with him before the filming began, to ensure my 'Cleopatra's lines' were embedded in my mind, before I went in front of the camera. Which I said would be great! He said that would be no problem, before adding ' If you get the part of course!!' But I felt the fact he was thinking that, was at the very least promising! He then asked me to walk towards him with a stuck up attitude look on my face, give the camera a disparaging look & then stroll off away from camera again. Which he got me to do a few times, he said he loved my look, attitude & movements. 

He then asked if I could slip off my jacket, to see my figure better? Then I had to do a few more attitude walks & then pretend I was holding a cigarette, stroll back & forth pretend to take a drag of the cigarette & repeat a comment he asked me to say (which typing this 6 days later I can't recall) He said he loved my look, which was ideal for the part, & my smile & attitude. He said 'goodbye' adding to fill in my details, on the form on the desk, by the lifts, in the foyer outside, which I did. 

Then it was back on the train to Waterloo, then the tube to Kings Cross, getting to Kings Cross Northern Line at 4.05pm. Giving me just under an hour to get to my 5pm Acupuncture appointment, in the good old days Id just have a flight of stairs to go down from the tube get on a Thames Link train to St Albans. But now after the refit to make it into, Kings Cross International, there are now, several long escalators & long walks, to get out of the underground area, then a long concord of shops to walk past, before getting to the overground trains! 

I got to the barriers & inserted my ticket, but it wasn't working, I was told by the guard that I couldn't use it until after 7pm, I'd have to get an extension ticket, If I wanted to get the train now!! WTF?? Apparently I have an Off Peak ticket & it's now 4.25pm & Peak Time is 4.20 - 7pm! Well it had taken me bloody 20mins (at a fast pace!!!) To get from Kings Cross, Northern line tube, to my overground train barriers, due to the stations shit design!!! And why the fuck is 4.20pm 'Peak Time?' Most jobs finish at 5 or 6pm so Peak Time should be 5-7pm it's a bloody rip off, cash cow, they should not make Peak Time any earlier than 4.45pm (For getting those who might leave work, a tad earlier!!)


So I went to the ticket office, taking up more time, meaning it was unlikely I'd get to my acupuncture appointment on time, Grrrrr!!  I was charged a £4.50 single ticket, from Elstree Borehamwood to St Albans. As the zones 1-6 on my travel card ticket, are not affected by the Peak Time prices (So really only non Londoner, commuters are really hit by Peak Time fares then!) £4.50 Which is bullshit as that's the price of a single ticket at Off Peak hrs, between St Albans & Elstree (You are not telling me that at Peak Times the two stops from Elstree to St Albans costs £9) I have already paid £4.50 each way from St Albans to Elstree & back again, on my London Travel Card ticket. I should only be charged the difference between a £4.50 Single Off Peak ticket from Elstree to St Albans & a Single Peak Time ticket from Elstree to St Albans & I do NOT believe the price is double!!! My audition has now cost me £19.50 instead of £15, as I had my 5pm Doc appointment, so I couldn't kill time until 7pm & save myself that extra £4.50!

Due to these delays, despite me walking like a power walker on speed. I got to the Doctors 15mins late at 5.15pm, but I had my acupuncture, which yet again, hurt like hell!! But hopefully we are starting to get somewhere now, he said he'd see me in 2 weeks time & I headed home, hungrily munching on a bag of Wotsits!! I got in Watched 'Home & Away' then fixed dinner. A grilled & cubed tuna steak & had it in a wholemeal pitta, with lentil salad & green olives. Yummy!! 

Then I updated my Facebook & Twitter statuses, then I checked my Hotmail & discovered that, Award Winning Photographer Philip Gatwood, had given me a recommendation on StarNow saying  'Very professional and a team player. Highly recommended.'  After my Automatic Weapon Modelling Shoot, which I thought was really nice of him!

I chatted a bit to *John C on Facebook (who still hasn't accepted my friend request!?) He asked how the audition went & asked if I could meet up in Reading? I said sorry but, the added audition expenses had done me in financially, so I think I will have to take a rain check, unless situations change!!

Then I read the paper, front page news is that Madman Gaddafi's son, Khamis has been killed, by a Libyan pilot. The poor boyfriend of missing Sian is saying 'It's breaking our hearts not knowing where she is!' It must be awful for him & her parents! A Postmaster husband, who murdered his wife & made it look like a raid gone wrong, killed her, due to her multiple affairs. On a amusing note, pranksters are driving supermarket shelf stacker's crazy, by a new game, using letters on spice pots, to spell out rude words, posting the results on Facebook, in the latest Supermarket Scrabble Craze lol I like!!

The Royal Mail are axing 3,500 jobs, it's said that cuts will raise fears over quality of the Royal mail. But I doubt it will make much difference! My mail service has been bad for years, with both not receiving stuff that I have been sent, or stuff that I have sent not being received (You just see recent grief from brother about that!! To know the grief it causes) I even had problems with my post, when I lived in Bounds Green, North London, which my local MP 'Michael Portillo' tried to get sorted out for me! 

 Katie Piper

 Katie Price

Apparently, Katie Price, dumped Alex, over his dress sense. I have to admit, he did dress badly most of the time. Then I watched the 1st of this weeks 'Supersize V Superskinny Kids' on Ch4, they have such irresponsible parents. Then 'Katie: My Beautiful Friends', about the brilliant Katie Piper, ironically shown at the same time, that Katie Price's new show, on Sky, is being aired. So Twitter was full of Katie comments. Then I watched 'Shit My Dad Says' on Five Star, which was followed by 'Lilly Allen: From Riches To Rags' on Ch4+1, then 'The Big C' I then read the rest of the paper, before crashing out for the night!

Wednesday 23rd March, I woke at 9am I'd dreamt about being out with an ex Gideon, also something about my Mum & Dad shopping, but for some reason, they would only buy things that were Black & White, and my mum was buying some burlesque like lingerie. I woke wondering what the hell that was about?? Elizabeth Taylor has died aged 79, my mum looked a lot like Elizabeth Taylor when she was young, like her as a teen in 'National Velvet' and like her in 'Cat On a Hot Tin Roof' when older.   

Elizabeth As A Teen In - National Velvet

Mum At 15yrs Old

Elizabeth Taylor In - Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

My 1st Christmas With Mum

I had sugar free Alpen & a coffee for breakfast, had a wash & did natural make-up & tied hair up in high pony tail, after I'd massaged some Satura Pro into my scalp. I wore my cropped khaki jersey lounge pants with my white, scoop necked Petite Bateau, long sleeved T-shirt, with my B&W TrimSoles & khaki sleeveless body warmer. Took down the nets at my kitchen window & door & swapped for clean ones, putting the dirty ones in the wash (I'm not a fan of nets, but as so many undesirables these days, tend to wander into my courtyard, I need them for privacy!) 

 
I did a bit more weeding in the garden & cleared away more cans, bottle, sweet wrappers & the sandwich packs dropped in my courtyard by the lovely general public & bin-men (THANKS!!!) I did the washing up, with fairy Pomegranate & Honeysuckle washing up liquid (red colour) It made the whole kitchen smell lovely, then I fixed lunch, a cheese & lentil salad sandwich & a packet of Wotsits washed down with a Diet Coke, which I ate it while watching 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County'

Tamra Barney

Tamra Barney was being a right bitch, trying her very best at her supposed etiquette dinner party, with the help of her son Luke, to get Gretchen (in Tamra's words) 'Naked Drunk' obviously down to jealousy, that now that 10yrs younger Gretchen has come along, that she has lost/is losing 'The Hottest OC Housewife Crown' Wanting Gretchen to get drunk & maybe get off with her son, or hit on other guys at do. So she could accuse Gretchen of being with her OLDER fiancé (who's dying of Leukaemia) for his money & brand her a gold digger, when Gretchen is in fact, so sweet & genuine! And I tweeted on Twitter about Tamra trying to get Gretchen Drunk. 

 Drunken Gretchen

I was surprised & delighted when, shortly after Gretchen DM'd me on Twitter. I wrapped up my 4 eBay sales & packaged up Andrews two Christmas presents & Alex's Christening present & card, plus his Christmas present into a box & took with the eBay parcels to the Post office (as Bill never came down south for me to give to him & I'm too broke to send all the Xmas presents for his family in one go) Especially as I have to send via registered post, as obviously a few items have not arrived, that I have sent. No doubt he will surmise I have only just bought them, well if he does, sod him! I sent him the lightest package 1st & that cost me £5.95 that I can ill afford!

I got back did a bit of gardening, then fixed myself a dinner of grilled tuna steak, with green leaf & 3 bean salad, plus a Diet Coke to wash it down with. I then did some job searches & checked my emails & found a email from the producers of  'Is It Just Me' saying I'd played my part to perfection & it looks very promising that the show will be commissioned, so they would like to keep me on file to contact to be 1 of 'The 50' should it be made for TV!! Great that sounds very promising! 

I chatted a bit to *John C on Facebook, he asked if I was up for meeting him tomorrow? I said I'd like to, but due to spending £19.50 on fares for my audition Tuesday & then having to fork out another £15 for fares on Saturday for the 'Losing It' premier & backers meeting. I just don't have any cash to spend for travel to Reading. He said he would have to investigate Reading alone then. He seems nice, normal & genuine, yet two things are still bugging me. 1) Why do I know his profile pic from before he messaged me? (I have a photographic memory, especially for pictures) & also 2) Why has he ignored my friend request? He said it was a good Idea when I 1st mentioned it & ignored the subject when I mentioned I'd sent it again on Monday! Has he something to hide? Something's not quite adding up somewhere!


I watched 'Home & Away' I didn't feel hungry enough for a proper dinner, I was just a bit peckish, so just had a big bowl of Alpen. I did the washing up & watered the plants. Watched 'Supersized V Superskinny Kids' How can those parents allow their kids to be so fussy & starve/gorge themselves to that state? I have to say the sliced sections of real dead body's (Damion Hurst style) One normal, one fat & one skinny are fascinating!! Then I watched 'The Truth about Lions' followed by TOWIE (The Only Way Is Essex) The two new girls Chloe & Gemma are just Odd!! Mark proposed to Deluded Super Bitch, Lauren. That will last shorter than a pair of 10denier stockings worn working on a building site!! The best reaction to the news was Arg's. shame poor lovely Lucy had to get hurt tho! 

I got a text from my friend Stephanie Ledigo at 9pm saying 'R u busy Friday drinks in Soho???Xx' Damn I'd love to go but too broke!! I text back 'I'd love to hun but sadly I'm too low on funds this time!! XX' Then I watched that shite 'The Model Agency' as there was bugger all else on! Carole White was asked to choose from 3 of the entry's of 'America's Next Top Model' in last Saturdays Buzz Magazine, the 3 models were Chelsey Hersley 23 (A skinny, yellow, bleached, blonde with hard features) Jane Randall 19, (A beautiful, slender, honey blond) & Anne Ward 19 (A pretty Auburn haired girl with a revoltingly distorted malnourished, skeletal looking body) who did Carole White pick as to who she'd sign up?..... Yep!! The skeletal, dead woman walking Ann Ward!! YUCK!! nice face shame about the skeleton! 

Ann Ward - America's Next Top Model?

More people text & emailed me saying Louie Spence's Showbusiness has got repetitive & boring & they wished the gang & I were in it, to liven it up! I read the paper Madman Gaddafi has broken cover & continued to slaughter his own people! A bit by Jane Moore on 'Harlem-Laren' the moronic, worthless, piece of shit, nobody on 'Jamie Oliver's 'Dream Team' on Ch4, who will no doubt end up in a young offenders unit, a jail, working as a prostitute or drug dealer, or dead in a few years time! 

Still Think An Oriental Diet Is Healthy?

Family & friends of missing Sian O'Callaghan searched the woods where her mobile phone signal died, I just hope she didn't meet the same fate, but I think sadly she has! There was also the horrific pics of the Chinese 3yr old (see above) who ways 9st & wont stop eating!! Think he needs to go on Supersize V Superskinny. I spent the rest of the night finishing last weeks blog, I will add pictures & check grammar tomorrow! Got ready for bed & applied the Satura Pro & Satura Rosta & crashed out at around 1am (Calories consumed 1,396)

Thursday 24th March,  I woke at 9am, to a beautiful sunny day, had a wash & massages Satura Pro into my scalp, got on the scales my weight has stayed stable, changed into my dark grey & white 3/4 gym trousers, my white long sleeved Petite Bateau T-shirt, my silver grey cardigan & my white sleeveless body warmer & B&W TrimSoles, then after some sugar free Alpen & some coffee for breakfast I went for a 2hr walk in the park, in the sunshine. My neck & shoulders still ache but not as bad since last 2 acupuncture sessions, so I think next week is when I start hitting the gym again like I use to, and get back to a size 8-10 again, ready for summer!!.... Bill should get his package today, or tomorrow, it's recorded delivery, so unlike Alex's 1st Birthday Card it can't get lost! (Well at least I hope it can't!)


I hung my clean nets up to dry, then did some household chores then popped to the shop for a paper & some diet cokes. Nicky text me, about a mutual friend, who is being a bit neurotic at the moment! I watched 'Loose Women' & '60 Minute Makeover' they have a new female presenter on 60MM which is putting me off watching. I have no idea who she is? But she is bloody awful!! She has appalling posture & stands like a hunchback. She asks really boring mundane question's, she has no personality whatsoever, and a awful droning monotone voice, that makes you want to self harm, to drown it out!! Who the hell is she blackmailing/blowing to get this gig??  

I made a Egg Mayo sandwich & had with some Branston mini Cheddars & a decaf Diet Coke, and watched 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County' I did some job searches & applications & spent the rest of the afternoon finishing off last weeks blog & posting it! I discovered I had a Direct Message from my friend *Jonty at 5.15pm saying 'My ex read your blog. She wants to pick you up in her Bentley and take u to Soho for lunch, She isn't a lezbo, but really likes you and finds you interesting. She just finds you fascinating. What do you think? Reply via email. xxx' I have to say that's one of my more unusual messages for quite some time! He made me laugh by reassuring she me that she wasn't a lesbian, as a fag Hag I am hardly likely to be uncomfortable about it, even if she was gay! Sent him a email, saying unusual message, tell me more!!? Jennie called me up & asked me to come over hers at 8pm, so at 7pm I made a tuna steak, with green & three bean salad for dinner.

Got to Jennies at 8pm & heard all about her night out with the school mums, Edgar & the darts team & the church committee events. Soooo not my kinda thing! Had a coffee with a Caramel Chunky KitKat. Watched 'Supersized V Superskinny Kids' the Supersized Indian girl was a brat!! Missed 'Love Thy Neighbour' this week as 'My Big Fat fake Wedding: Panorama' was on. 


Watched 'Celebrity Juice' which was very, very funny. I left Jennies & headed home at midnight, I'd received a text from my brother Bill, earlier at 10.33pm saying 'We got your presents 2day june. Thanx x'  Well I didn't bother answering, as he didn't bother to, when I text him last Wednesday, and I hardly have any credit left, so I'm only using when necessary! I got home took off make-up & did my Satura Pro & Rosta routine & then went to bed and read the paper. The budget and Elizabeth Taylor's Death was the front page news. Also yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far, at 62-64 Deg Fahrenheit. Cops reckon they may find Sian today & hopefully alive! They think she may have been picked up by a rouge cabbie or someone who knew her.  (Calories consumed 1,594)

Friday 25th March, I woke at 8.30am to a beautiful bright sunny day (ooh maybe this year we will have a good summer?) I dreamt that I was working as a beauty Concession Manager again, but in America, and I was working with my Greek friend Nikki & Candie again. I was clearing out a draw of rubbish left by the last Manager. I was going somewhere with Candie, carrying a carrier bag full of paperwork, when I suddenly panicked that I'd forgotten my purse!! But found it after rummaging under the papers, then I was with Jennie & I had received a mobile phone bill, in the hundreds of pounds & I was Irate, as I'm on 'Pay As You Go' & I said "if you have gone beyond your, credit they should not let you call, so you top up not continue to let you text & unknowingly run up a massive bill!!" Woke & wondered what the hell that was about?

 Reiss Vest Top

TrimSoles

I had a shower, then massaged Satura into my scalp, tied my hair up in a high tight ponytail & did a natural make-up, then dressed in my khaki cropped, jersey lounge pants, with one beige jersey camisole top & pistachio, Reiss jersey Vest tops, and my B&W TrimSoles. I popped to the shop for the paper & two Diet Cokes, lovely & warm out like a April/May spring day. Got back in made some sugar free Alpen & a coffee for breakfast. Then went out into my courtyard, did some more weeding, watered the plants & cleared the huge amount of litter. But as I don't have a broom, I couldn't sweep the courtyard of the 1000+ fag butts the loiterers drop there (I don't even soddin smoke!) I was really pleased with the finished result of my little bit of garden.


I went back in at 3.40pm to watch 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County' then did a bit of garden pruning, then had a veggie sausage & boiled egg sandwich, with some Twiglets, washed down with a Diet Coke, then watched 'Come Dine With Me' & 'Home & Away' My mobile went just as it started & it showed up as my brother Bill's wife Karen. I answered it and it was my little nephew Andrew, calling to thank me for his Christmas present, he wasn't on long, but was sweet, guess Bill/Karen got him too. (Maybe Bill feels a tiny bit remorseful for his harsh words now?) Then after some housework it was dinner time & I grilled a tuna steak & had with green leaf & 3 bean salad, washed down with a Diet coke. Mike called me at 7.45pm they'd been away with their son Ryan to Disneyland, chatted for a bit & then Watched 'Supersized V Superskinny Kids' How can parents go so long allowing their kids to starve/gorge themselves without intervening? Which ones the kid & who the parent??!! 

I was invited out for drinks in Soho with the lovely Stephanie Ledigo, who is my friend who Co-manages 'The Daylight Theory' Shame I'm so brassic, I'd of loved to have caught up, I'm near hers in Brick Lane tomorrow, but she's busy with The Band doing a gig. Shame the premier wasn't on Friday (today) I could of gone there 1st & then gone on to Soho & met up with Steph & the band afterwards! I was having a coffee & some Wotsits at 10.36pm when Simon Cole text me, saying 'EMP!!!!!! Can you please come to London tomorrow, for drinks in Soho...... I want to have drinks & giggles with you!!!!! X'  How funny, so I can do my Film Premier tomorrow & meet Simon in Soho after, just like I'd just said, I'd of liked to have done with Steph!! ... I text him back saying I would be in London tomorrow to see a premier of a short film I'm in, so I could meet him in Soho prob from 9pm, but brassic so can't afford a late one!!

Simon Cole

My friend Ian had to give one of his model boarder / house-mate, a months notice, as her room was a mess, with stuff everywhere, with dirty plates of food & Chihuahua poo all over the bedroom floor that had been there for days. Well that and stuff left all over the flat, and plates etc piled high, unwashed, and although he pointed out (politely) that those issues needed addressing. Sadly the filth just continued, until he felt he had no choice but to give her a months notice (If only her male NUTS fans knew how filthy she was, but not in the way they'd like her to be! - they'd be shocked!!) It really pained Ian to have to tell her to go, especially as he loved her little dog (in spite of the poo all over the floor, which wasn't the dogs fault, as he was locked in the bedroom for hrs, with no walks to, go to poo/wee) Why she didn't get a litter tray, for the room, I don't know? Anyway ever since he gave her notice, she has been acting a bit odd, at home & on Twitter and posting cryptic Tweets, or ones as if she is about to commit suicide! Really melodramatic!! Today's ones were obviously aimed at him. Honestly honey if you were not so skanky & unhygienic you'd still be a tenant!!


Chilled with the paper, that poor pretty girl Sian O'Callighan, has been found murdered, 6 days after she went missing, after going clubbing with her girlfriends last Saturday. A 47yr old cabbie has been held accused with her abduction & murder, it's said he has confessed to a 2nd woman in the same area in 2001. There is also a 5 page special on The Night Stalker, in the paper, Britain's worse sex attacker. Who picked on the old & frail, one a woman of 89yrs, this sick bastard was also a cabbie. I have written in a earlier blog how I think I had a lucky escape, when I think was in, sex attacker John Worboys cab once, many years ago!


Repulsive  squatter Jason Ruddik mentioned in earlier blogs, plus 7 others quit a £4Million house, as it was not plush enough (cheeky c**ts!!) saying it didn't have any modern amenity's, complaining the Hampstead house didn't have a swimming pool, he admitting he'd become accustomed to squatting in luxury apartments. He added "this one didn't work out, I want somewhere posher!!" Cheeky git I wonder how much damage his skanky crew did to the £4Million mansion & how much rubbish had to be cleared away!! I also heard via Twitter, that Mylene Klass has named her new baby GIRL, Hero Harper Klass WTF!!? Poor kid!!  & then went to bed at 3.30am (Calories consumed 1,502)

Saturday 26th March, Woke at 6.50am....thanks to Orange Mobile Network, texting me to say 'I have won 5 new photo messages' (oh great, whoopee doo!! My present cheap phone doesn't even take photos!!) Bloody texting me in the wee hrs of a Saturday, what the hell were they thinking?? Sod Off!!.... I did recall my dream on waking, which I know was quite complex, but both FireFox & Internet Explorer were not responding on my note book, so by the time I could get into this blog, I have forgotten it, except for the fact Bournemouth & Pool in Dorset was in it somewhere Grrrrrrrrr!! 

I went back to sleep until 10am & then lounged in bed until noon, listening to the radio. Then I got up made a coffee & ran a bath, then checked my emails while it filled & drank my coffee. Had a bath & exfoliated myself & removed hard skin from feet (oooh sexy lol!) moisturised & then washed my hair, rubbed the Satura Pro into my Scalp before drying my hair. Dried hair straight with a full fringe, dressed like I did for 'Cleopatra' audition as its colder again today, the sky looks grey & I think it may be raining, when I set off to the 'Losing It' screening later (bugger!!) 

I did my make-up with a iridescent peacock green eyeshadow, by Barry M & a aqua Versace liquid liner, with toffee lip gloss!! I popped to the shop to get a paper, but they'd sold out so popped to Tesco's for one. I got in had brunch of Quorn in a cheese & herb sauce, on a bed of crushed new potatoes in their skins, to keep me going until tonight, as Angus had said the Premier of 'Losing It' was catered. My friend *Jonty had messaged me on my hotmail (re his unusual Twitter inbox Thursday) saying 'Basically one of my ex's has been following me on twitter and finds you fascinating. She wants to take you to lunch, just to get to know you. xxxx'  Which was somewhat unusual, to be honest, but nice to know someone, other than a horny man, finds me interesting! Who knows, we might have a lot in common, I messaged back 'Well to offer to pick me up & buy me lunch, she obviously knows how broke I am at the moment lol, and if she has a Bentley I'm sure she has a much more interesting life than me, but what the hell why not? If she dated you I'm sure she must be a nice girl!' Then I put hair up in a high ponytail & put my long curly fake ponytail over the top! *Jonty got back to me a while later saying Good. My twitter account is all fucked up at the moment J but hopefully I'll get the IT geek at work on the case on Monday. She is the real deal and just really finds you so fascinating. She loves your blog too.Next time you are in London, give her a few days notice and she'll meet you and take you for lunch.*Jonty xxxx  Which sounds fare enough but hard to do until he gives me her name & mobile/email details, lol.


I did a few online surveys to kill time before setting off at 5.30pm for the station, putting a foldable umbrella in my bag, just in case. Text Simon Cole en route to station to see if he is still up for meeting in Soho?? He said sadly plans had changed & he wouldn't be coming into London adding 'I want to see ya soon though we need a good giggle' Seconds later Ian called me, asking if I was on my into London? I said "Yeah just at the station now!" he asked if I was up for meeting up in Soho after the premier? I said "Yep!!" He said 'Great I know Simon is dying to see you again!!' 

I said I'd just spoken to Simon he wasn't coming into London now!! Ian was saying how he was dressed in Lesbian Drag for his lesbian friends birthday, who was having an 'L' themed night, he said if he had more cash he'd of got a virgina costume as 'L' for Labia I laughed & said 'Maybe just as well, they'd all be saying you looked a right Cu*t all night!!' He laughed & said 'Yeah your right!!'

I Jumped on the semi fast train to Kings Cross, then got the circle line to Liverpool Street & got to the Premier venue at 7pm, said "Hello" to Angus. He introduced me to the backer, a small Indian guy who I chatted to for a while & I also got chatting to my two other witch co stars, in 'The Fortune Teller" Sarah (a rather Marilyn Monroe like blonde) who's name was Dorsett (quite a coincidence, as I was dreaming of Pool & Bournemouth last night) and also a Greek/Italian looking Francesca. 

I also bumped into Nigel who played an airman in 'Losing It' and was in the pub at the 'Losing It' rap party. The Girls & I got stuck into the Carva, as there was a big free bar, but there was NONE of the catering, that Angus had mentioned in prior emails (I wished I'd put some snacks in my bag!!) The girls & I were talking about Fate, Tarot, Ghosts, Premonitions etc due to it's connection, to the next film of Angus's 'The Fortune Teller' that we are all in. 

Later Angus got up & did a speech, I don't know if it was due to nerves, the beer or the recent sunny weather? But Angus had a face as red as his hair & beard!! Speech over he sat on the front row, with Francesca, Sarah & I, and watched the film. It was really quite funny, and made sense of some of the odd stuff we had to do in our rolls, I spotted myself in my unattractive blue overall & bun in quite a few shots, when it was finished it got a rousing round of applause. Did some more schmoozing & Ian called at 8.50pm to see if I was coming yet? I said doing a bit more socializing then I'd be heading into town.


I chatted some more & asked Sarah if she wanted to come to Soho with me?? She said normally she would, but she had a hot date tomorrow so wanted an early night! Nigel piped up he'd come, just as Ian called again at 9.50pm (Blimey where did that hr go?) He said they were now in the other Ku Bar off Shaftsbury Avenue. I said I was just heading off & I'd see him soon! We walked back down to Liverpool Street Station & got the circle line to Kings Cross, then changed for the Piccadilly line to get to Liecester Square. We passed the original Ku Bar & went to Shaftsburry Avenue, walking up & down trying to find the 'Other Ku Bar' with No Joy!! So I asked a bouncer outside a club/bar in Shaftsbury Avenue, where the 'OTHER' Ku Bar in Shaftsbury Avenue was? NOT the one in Soho!! I followed his instructions & found myself outside the original Ku Bar 'IN SOHO!!" FFS!!!!

 The Ku Bar, We Were Looking For

 The Ku Bar, they Directed Us Back To!

I text Ian & he called back, saying he thought I wasn't coming & was now in 'GAY Late' Why did he think I wasn't coming? I'd said I was on my way, when he last called (The journey from the East End to Central London, takes a while) I said never mind, I was pretty tired (and absolutely bloody starving!! As there was no food catering at the Premier, only a Free Bar!!) So I headed back on the Piccadilly line back to Kings Cross. My train wasn't until another 30mins so I rushed to Costa Coffee & got a Tuna Salad Sandwich, which I devoured like a famine victim!! I was still ravenous when I got to St Albans & knowing that my fridge was bare, I got a Halumi wrap & a portion of French fries, at the Turkish Kebab restaurant near the station & attacked it with vigor, on the way home!! The wrap did the job, so 90% of the Chips ended up, uneaten in my fridge, to get heated up in microwave tomorrow. Then crashed out in bed (not even removing my make-up!!) shattered!! (Calories consumed 1,729)

Sunday 27th March, I woke at 6.30am (Which with the clocks moved forward, is now 7.30am) My bad neck & shoulders is back bugger!! Well I'm not letting that ruin my plans, to get back in the gym next week!!! I downed a load of pain killers, from my bedside draw & tried with difficulty to get comfortable enough in bed, to sleep again!! Eventually I fell asleep again & then woke at 10.30am (which is now 11.30am) With my neck & shoulders in so much pain I want to cry, which was not putting me in a good nor friendly mood. I'm not sure I will be able to wait until 2 weeks, for my next acupuncture session. I might pop down this Tuesday, to see if he can fit me in? The pain is so bad I feel physically sick, also think I may have a cold coming too!! As I am really struggling to breathe today, my sinuses & adenoids are making me feel like I'm suffocating, just like when I had pneumonia!! If I dreamt last night I can't recall it? Got up & got on my scales & I have lost 1/4lb since Thursday.

Eventually got myself together in baggy Khaki lounge pants & beige vest top around noon, putting me way behind schedule, to do all of the things, that I had planned to do today!! My neck & shoulder pain was also going to hinder the progress of that too!! I piled hair up into bun & didn't bother with make-up as felt too rough to bother due to the pain. I had some Alpen for breakfast, after buying some milk & a NOTW from the shop & swept kitchen floor with dust pan & brush & mopped it, cleaned bathroom, did washing up, cleaned kitchen surfaces cupboards. Washed my faux fur bed throw in the bath as its too big to fit in the machine & the launderette in my street, where I use to do it, is closed down now. Then I hung it over two stands outside to dry in the sun. Hoovered the lounge, bedroom, hall & stairs, then ironed my clean sheets, pillowcases & duvet cover & re made my bed.

Stopped for a coffee & some Branston Pickle Mini Cheddars, & some more painkillers & quickly checked my Hotmail, Twitter & Facebook. I had lots of messages from people on Facebook & Twitter saying I was on the repeat of 'John Bishops Britain' last night talking about Diets & also in a clip on 'Harry Hills TV Burp' in a clip taken from the OMG cougar convention (lol) while on Facebook I added Sarah, Franchesca & Nigel. 

Then I started sorting some of the things I'd piled in my bedroom, lounge & on my upstairs landing, but it was causing me too much pain in my neck, shoulders & arms, so I had to stop. I took some more pain killers, then warmed up last nights chips to eat. As I was in too much pain to be able to enjoy a full meal! Later I watched myself on 'Harry Hills TV Burp' then watched the Final of 'Dancing On Ice' writing my critique of it as I typed (which you can read HERE!!) Had to lay down after as the pain in my neck, shoulders & arms, was so bad I felt weak & absolutely shattered!! Went to bed & watched the film 'Infamous' then went to sleep, as I felt so bloody awful!! (Calories consumed 1,138)

Working With Automatic Weapons, So Don't Upset Me, Or I Might Take My Work Home With Me!

Monday 7th March, Woke at 8am, still with a bit of a painful Migraine hangover. I can't recall any dream, if I did dream, but then my sleep was very restless & disturbed, due to stress. I'm feeling very hurt by my brothers arrogant & ill informed words, he thinks he is so cleaver & knows how I spend my days/life but he doesn't have a clue! He is just a smug, judgemental, smart arse & obviously not that smart, as he failed to get any facts right, other than that  Karen/Andrew & Jessie didn't get a card sent! What's most frustrating is, Alex's one not turning up, after the effort I made to get it early & send it in time! 

I got ready to have my 2hr walk round the park, my head neck & shoulders are still in a lot of pain, as are my coccyx. I got changed with Lilly Allen's "It's Not Me It's You" Album on full blast with "Fuck You" by Lilly Allen on repeat, with me singing it on the top of my lungs as I dressed!! (click yellow title to hear song) Which did make me feel a lot better (despite my pounding head!) I think I am beginning (with the help of that song!) to move on from being Deeply Hurt, to just plain Fucking Angry! 

 Don't Make Me Angry

You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!!

When I told my friends, what he said & why, their choice of words for him were colourful at best! Had my Alpen  changed into black leggings and my black Petite Bateau top, pulled on my long black coat & had my 2hr walk & then got myself a comforting caramel cappuccino & went to the Job Centre & printed a few more jobs off of their machine to apply to.

Then I came home did a bit of dusting then it was lunch time, I steamed a salmon fillet & had with taboui salad & kidney bean & bulgar wheat salad, washed down with a Diet Coke. I applied to the jobs I printed off from the Job Centre, then went online & applied to more jobs while watching 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County' LOVE that show (love most of the Real Housewives shows)

Gretchen & Vicki

Real Housewives Of Orange County

Then I watched 'Come Dine With Me' then washed the inside of all my windows, I will have to see if the window cleaner, that the girl at my letting agents, gave me the telephone number of, will do the outside of mine. I have been trying for 8 years with no joy with window cleaners, as they won't do my front windows as its on a busy road. I watched 'Home & Away' applied online for several more jobs & a load of auditions. 


My beauty professional friend Kathryn emailed me to say, she had sent me off some Satura Pro to trial, which both thickens & increases hair growth. Which I'm very keen to try, as due to several head traumas (during several of my 7 car crashes *I don't even drive*) Including one where my head went through the windscreen & I received (15 stitches) in my head! Also an accident where a 3" pronged hair comb was hammered into my head, after a accident in a Jacuzzi area in a spa (5 stitches) and I slipping on black ice on the snow (despite wearing snow boots) and smashing my head near my temple open on a wall last January (3 stitches) below

If I had a G.I Jane shaved hairstyle I'd have tram lines all over my head! from all my injury's. Also Going through the Menopause early at 42yrs has also thinned my hair (which was fine to start with anyway) and being depressed & stressed over my mum has done my hair & skin no favours, over the past couple of years too. So I am curious to see if trials actually show a difference to my hair? If so I was going to recommend it to my brother, who's looks are being ruined, by the front of his hair thinning badly (but after his latest outburst part of me thinks sod him, if it works maybe I will keep it to myself & if he finds out by other means fine, but much as he has hurt me I don't think I can be as petty as him! 

 Bill Thick Hair

 Bill Thinning Hair

I did tell him the wet look, stiff gel he uses on his hair is not good for it, many a hairdresser I know, have advised guys to use putty & not a stiff gel, to get the same effect, as stiff gel, rather like stiff mascara (with no elastaine in) tends to make the stiff hair, break off at the roots, the way stiff mascara breaks off eye lashes. I told him this several times, but in typical fashion, he either ignored what I said each time, or looked at me as if I was a idiot! Even though the advice I was giving, was coming from male hair care professionals. So in the end I gave up, as he was too arrogant to listen, and so I just watched, the front of his hair get thinner & thinner! Mum & Dad had fine hair, like me, but it was never showing so much scalp like his! Anyway I digress, I will let you know how my trial of the product goes, when it eventually arrives!

I was peckish later, but not hungry enough for dinner so I had some Branston Pickle Mini Cheddars (which I'm quite addicted to) dipped in coleslaw which was surprisingly a nice combination! I sorted out clothes to wear tomorrow, as I need to be up early. Watched the Soaps Corrie & EastEnders, then Glee (yes I'm a Gleek) then Law & Order UK on ITV+1 while trying to catch up, with last weeks blog, which I'd got behind on, as my brother had upset me so much, I just couldn't write it, despite trying briefly Sunday, when I had a killer migraine. Then went to bed at 11.30pm, as I still felt rough from my migraine hangover, and I needed to be fresh, to use my brain for the quiz show run through tomorrow! (Calories consumed 1,280)


Tuesday 8th March,  I was still awake & trying to sleep when my alarm went off at 5.50am, bugger!! My sleep isn't good at the best of times, but this upset my brother has caused, hasn't helped any! I had a wash & washed my hair & made a breakfast of sugar free Alpen & a coffee. I did my make-up, dried my hair with a flicked fringe & tied hair back & added my fake curly pony tail. It's bright but quite cold out, so I wore my black studded leggings & a Deep Peacock Green Jersey & satin blouse (Mum got me it, for my Birthday, from Jane Norman, I was actually wearing it when I was at her bedside in A&E when she died in hospital) 

I packed 2 Diet Cokes & a packet of Twiglets into my bag, not knowing how long it would be, before we finished the run through or got refreshments. I popped to the shop & got a Sun paper, to put in my bag for the journey. Put on peacock green dangly earrings & my Electric blue pashmina as well as my long black coat!


I set off for the station at 8.10am & walked to the station & got the 8.20am fast train to Kings Cross, wondering If I should of got the cheaper 9am train (but as I'm getting expenses anyway I guess it doesn't really matter!) But as I have to get all the way over to Turnham Green Piccadilly/District line, it's probably best I go the earlier time, just in case knowing my luck. I was served by my normal flirty BR worker. I got the fast train to Kings Cross, then hot footed it onto the Piccadilly line. 

I was sitting on the tube when I saw that Turnham Green had red writing over the top of the station, saying Piccadilly line trains only stop at this station, during very early, or very late hours (no info on when very early ends, or very late starts Major FAIL London Underground!!) So it was either change at Hammersmith, one stop before Turnham Green & get on District line & go 3 stops to Turnham Green, or stay on one stop, to Acton Town & go back 2 stops on the District line, to Turnham Green.


I chose the latter as its 1 less stop & I didn't know how far I'd have to walk, from Hammersmith Piccadilly line, to Hammersmith District line, where as at Acton, I knew I just crossed a bridge & also, as it was only 9am it might still count as early enough to stop at Turnham Green (But apparently not!!) Bloody stupid to sail right past the stop if you ask me! London Underground pull your finger out & rather than stating very early & very late put actual times trains cease & restart at bloody stations, you twats!!! 

I got off at Acton & went over the bridge to the District line platform & waited 5mins for a train to Turnham Green. I followed directions, and turned left out of the station walked down to the lights & turned left again & High Road House, was easily found with its big green canapé outside. I'd arrived bang on 10am & went upstairs & joined my 3 kids (in their 20's) family team, funnily my family was the Joneses & Bob's was the Smith's he was the dad of his team. Bob arrived 5 mins after me & it was the 1st time I'd seen him unshaven.


It turned out that, poor Bob had been really ill over the last week, due to being exposed to the Elements on that freezing tour bus with me, in Essex (and he, unlike me, was in the warm Vajazzling for about a hr or so, while I was freezing some more, on the bus & doing my comedy bit in a field, between leaving the Beauty Parlour & getting to Faces Nightclub) I think after being very ill with Swine Flu at the start of the year, meant it made me immune from a cold/flu/pneumonia, from the extreme cold all day, while on the bus. We were given the rough run through, of how the quiz works by Rosetta the quizzes creator!! While we could help ourselves to tea or coffee from the sideboard. Then we did a couple of run trough's with show presenter Michael Underwood, which was fun as "The Smiths & The Joneses" were very competitive with each other we played like their was real cash to be won!! I was on good quiz question form despite being 36hrs with no sleep (but I was downing the coffees like a gooden

Michael Underwood

We had a 15min break, the kids went outside for a fag & Bob bought us a Cappuccino & we was chatting about how ill he was after the filming & basic chit chat. During this time I got a text from Award winning Photographer, Philip Gatward, saying he has arranged a photo shoot for Thursday & he'd email me times & any requirements before then. Then the kids came back & I told my 3, two boys & a girl my game plan, that I'd been thinking of to win! 

We went back in to play the Quiz in front of a BBC executive, a attractive Scottish guy in his 30's -40's. My game plan worked (Of Course!!) and my team the Joneses won Ta Daaaaaaaaaaaa!! The Exec seemed to like the format & maybe wanted a few tweaks (can't give you details of how it works, as its secret) I think it will be commissioned though, as its got an edge that other quizzes other than 'The Weakest Link' don't have. We finished around 2pm & Bob had to rush off as his car was on a meter which was about to run out. So I popped into a Italian restaurant next door with 3 of the quiz kids 2 girls & a guy, all 3 want to work behind the scenes in TV. I had the tomato & anchovy pizza bread starter & a Diet Coke, it was bigger than I expected for a starter. The kids had pasta dishes or chicken dishes. 

I called Daniel Brown Street Agency, while eating there, as they were only a few stops away on the tube in Battersea & they said to call for an appointment. I'd left them a email yesterday, saying I was near their office today, if they had a appointment opening between 2 & 3pm. I spoke to someone at the agency, but they had no appointments until the end of March. 

Hmmm bugger maybe on the 26th then, when I am down for the premier of the film I'm in 'Losing It'. So I paid off my bill & we all jumped on the tube. The Turkish girl who was one of the kids said "You are really intelligent aren't you I could tell by your rapid answers & broad knowledge of subjects" I said "People are quite shocked when they find out quite how knowledgeable I am, being a blonde with big boobs they expect a bimbo" We chatted about Turkish history & when I was talking to her about how the Ottoman Empire was funded to overthrow Constantine, she said "Wow I'm Turkish & even I didn't know that part of our history!" 


We went our separate ways at Earls Court & I got the Piccadilly line to Kings Cross & caught the fast train back to St Albans. I text Bob to say it was great seeing him today & I hoped he felt better soon & I'd been worried that going 36hrs with no sleep, was going to dull my brain, for the quiz questions today. But was pleased it didn't seem to! He text back " Thanks mate you was as sharp as a Stanley blade. Very Professional. See you soon x"   I replied " Thanks I surprised myself, how quick I was on no sleep!"   He text back "  I did love the way you corrected them on the tusk thing"   (referring to me pointing out that, one of the answers to their questions was in fact, incorrect as it referred to an enzyme not a material!) I laughed & replied "  I am a stickler for facts & a mine of useless information!"  

I walked back from the station up the High St, to the library & printed off my Aardvark contract & my script for 'The Fortune Teller' then went on to the doctors, just in time for my 5pm Acupuncture appointment, which is much needed, as I am still stiffer than a board! He put the needles in and my neck & shoulders were pulsating & spasming around the needle sites. But I gritted my teeth against the pain, hoping it would help in the long term. Got in & found out when I logged on, that the Zombie movie I'm in "Houseparty Of the Dead 6" is now viewable online (Click Yellow link below to watch!!)

"  Houseparty Of The Dead 6" 

Watched 'Home & Away' then fixed dinner of a kidney bean bulgar wheat salad, & watched 'EastEnders' then the brilliant 'Lion Country' with a packet of Branston Pickle Mini Cheddars, & a coffee & then crashed out at 9pm, after spending over 40hrs with no sleep (Calories consumed 1,146)


Wednesday 9th March, I woke at 8am I know I dreamt but for the life of me I can't recall it, had my usual Alpen & Diet Coke for breakfast, checked my emails. Philip Gatward has pencilled me in for midday tomorrow & wants me to be dressed up in, or to bring clothes, like I'm off to a Wedding, or a Day At The Races (That's no problem) Preferably more than one option! I will take the outfit I wore for my Birthday at Royal Ascot last year, The outfit I wore to my Brothers wedding, to Karen, a few Years back, plus a black dress & Aqua Jacket that I wore to Nat & Terry's wedding.

I mopped the kitchen floor that was getting filthy again & the bathroom floor, still waiting for Santander to send my details to bank online, so I can sort my finances, it still hasn't arrived, hope that's not another bloody thing that's been lost in the soddin post!!? Fortunately what did arrive this morning was the Satura Pro from Kathryn, which was something else to cheer me up, along with Lilly Allen!! Reading the instructions, it says you apply 15-20 drops to your scalp & rub in once, or twice daily (I'm opting for 20 drops twice daily) I will let you know of my progress. I tried it 1st thing & as my hair is below shoulders in length (so unlike a guy with no hair, or short hair) It makes my hair wet around scalp, so I have to re-style after use, or scrape back into pony tail or put on after washing hair & before drying it! Smells quite funky & herby a bit like Jaegermeister. 

Made a sandwich with wholemeal bread, spread thinly with mayo with spinach leaves, sliced tomato & sliced grilled Quorn, seasoned with low salt & ground black pepper, for my lunch. Then after watching 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County' I spent the afternoon going over my lines for "The Fortune Teller" I like that my role is both quite ethereal & comedic. Most lines are fairly easily memorable, just one part where I am incantating a spell, is a bit of a tongue twister, mouthful! Then I did some job searches & applied for a load as always (where as my brother obviously assumes, I just sit around playing with my fanny all day!!) after that I checked the audition sites for work, then went through my lines again. 

I text Chris (who I met in The 2 Brewers) That I would be in London tomorrow, if he still wanted to meet up, when I was in London? He text back at 6.26pm saying "  Is that calendar girls or something? "  I said "  No for a photographic portfolio/exhibition"   He didn't message back further, so I've no idea if that's a yes or no, and I'm not one to chase after someone for an answer. If they want to see you, they will give you an answer, if you have to hound them to see you whats the point!!  At 6.30pm I watched 'Home & Away' Then it was dinner time. I grilled a Tuna steak, and had with a skinned diced avocado, sliced cherry tomato's and 3 bean salad. Plus I treated myself to a can of K Cider & a Curlywurly to cheer myself up a bit. I then did the washing up then settled down for a bit of evening TV.

 Louisa & Adam

Adam & His Identical Twin

So at 8pm I watched the last of Beauty & The Beast, this week it was the fab twin Adam, who has been in it throughout the series, with a rather sweet, but clueless, make-up artist Louisa, it was probably the sweetest pairing of the series. Then watched the 2nd of 'Jamie's Dream School' (after checking this weeks OMG wasn't the one I was on!) I missed last weeks Dream School, but seems I didn't miss much, pretty boring & then the Biggest bore of all 'The Model Agency' I don't know why I keep tuning in, in the hope it will improve, where as it's obvious by now it wont!! 

Then I went in the back room & sorted out my stuff for tomorrow (& in doing so, messing up, my sorted back room, somewhat!!) I got my black, red & purple dresses together. My black/white court shoes & my cream satin shoes. My cream, red & aqua jackets. Then my Big Black & Big Cream hats in my big Hat-box. Plus my cream Channel style quilted shoulder bag with chain strap & my Salvador Ferragamo black handbag, plus a load of jewellery. Then I had a bath & went to bed at midnight.


Thursday 10th March,  Got up at 8.45am, after a restless night where I only got 1 or 2hrs sleep tops!! I got on the scales weight has stayed same, then I had a wash & washed my hair fixed myself a coffee & sugar free Alpen for breakfast. Today is the day I do The Modelling Shoot, with the Automatic Weapons, at 12noon, for Philip Gatward see his previous pics Here  I put the Satura Pro on the front of my scalp area where my hair is finest & weakest, and massaged it into my scalp & dried my hair, it kind of acted a bit of a styling/setting lotion, as my fringe is more full & stiffer for it. I did my make-up as if I was going to an event, and put my Annabelle's half wig in, as under such big hats, my own hair, though below shoulders, doesn't show much. 

Then I got dressed in black wet look leggings, my peacock green Jane Norman shirt, that I wore for the quiz run through, Tuesday. I wore the Aqua Jacques Vert over that, to save me carrying that too. I packed the clothes, shoes & accessories, in my big Fitness 1st rucksack (Terrorist Chic!!) As my smaller of my trolley cases, is hard to maneuver, when I have my big hat box too!...


I pulled on my long boots, my long black coat & my black sequined beanie/beret, then I set off at 9.30am, and caught the 10am train getting the fast train to Kings Cross. I text Chris while I was waiting for the train to come saying "  So are you up for meeting in London today? I will be finished from my shoot around 2.30-3pm if so when & where? So I know how much time I have to kill!?"   He replied at 10.03am saying "  I am working. Cannot just leave sorry"  which was just lame & dumb! Obviously I wasn't asking him to leave work & meet up. I asked what time & where? As I didn't know where in the city he was working, or what time he finished? I took that as a lame get out reply! But just to double check he wasn't just being dense (which he didn't seem, when we met!) I sent one final text, saying " I didn't expect you to leave work, you fool, I was asking if you want to meet where & when after your work finishes? unless your finishing at 9pm!! " 


I got to kings Cross & headed for the Victoria line, to go to Highbury & Islington where I changed for the overground to Dalston Kingsland. I then walked to Dalston Junction, where I asked for directions to Philips Studio, which were quite straight forward. By 11.45am Chris hadn't responded to my last text, so he has obviously bottled it! Oh well his loss, shame I thought he had a bit of fiery gumption about him, obviously not! I arrived at the studio phone intercom, bang on noon & at the same time as another guy, who it turned out, was also from St Albans (what a coincidence) 

As we went into the studio Philip strongly reminded me of a spitting image (but a taller version) of a photographer friend of many years ago 'David Arnold' from Panda Photographic's (They dealt in B&W photography, for advertising) His assistant Julie made me a coffee, while the guy from St Albans changed into a Doctor's blue scrubs & posed with big Automatic Weapons. A large black guy arrived who looked quite like Leiha's Maori love interest Elijah in 'Home & Away'. I chatted to him in the chill out section of the studio, while the photo session, was going on below us. When that session was over, Philip decided on the red outfit & to do some with cream hat shoes & bag & then some with black accessories. He said I'd needn't of bought the shoes, as they'd not be in shot (thats 2 lots of weight in my rucksack, I and my bad neck/shoulders could of done without, had I known)

I got changed in the roomy studio bathroom, when I came out the Elijah look alike said "Wow you look amazing I'm in Love!!" I laughed & said "Does the races/wedding guest look, do it for you then??" he laughed & said "I guess so!"  I had to pose with these huge Automatic Weapons, which would be fine If I could hold them with both hands. But I had to hold with just one hand, while holding a glass of champagne in the other. Which put a real strain on my small hands (so small I can slip children's bangles on) My arms & my already painful neck & shoulders. But I did my best to be professional & smile through the pain (While hoping that the pain & discomfort didn't show, through my eyes, or with a grimacing smile!) They tried some more with the huge weapons, but also with a Golden Desert Eagle, hanging out of my cream handbag. Now that was an amazing looking weapon, I'd of liked some snaps holding that one, it was still heavy, but not like the huge monsters I was holding!

The Desert Eagle was a bit heavy looking in my bag, so they tried with another one (not quite as attractive) Then they tried some with the black hat & bag. My forehead was pretty sweaty from the heat of the lights, the cream hat & the strain of trying to hold such a heavy weapon aloft, with just one hand (My hand/arm went dead or got cramps, on several occasions!) So my fringe was wet & stuck to my head, so I needed to sort that, before donning the black hat! Two more people had arrived during my session & had joined the Elijah lookie likey, in the chill out area, and were watching me, along with him on the viewing platform. Then we went back to the cream hat again & eventually the session was over & the Elijah lookie likey started to pose for his takes, in tennis gear, that he'd changed into during my session, while I changed back into my original attire!


I got chatting to the young blonde guy, waiting to be pictured his name was Shaun & it turned out we had a couple of mutual friends including Davey Tyler, my buddy that I did OMG with recently. We chatted for a bit while munching on a couple of slices of the tomato & anchovy pizza, that had arrived for us, and Shaun added me on Facebook. Philips assistant Julie said she would email me copies of the photo shoot in about 2-3months, once he'd decided which shots were going into his project etc, then I headed off for Dalston Kingsland station, to go back to Highbury & Islington on the Victoria line.  

Walthamstow Central, was only 4 stops from there, so I text Nat (above) to see if he was home, if I popped over to visit (As Chris had proved to be a bit of a lame duck, let down) He was, but was going out at 6pm, which was fine, as it was only 3pm. So I got on the Victoria line at Highbury & Islington & took the 4 stops to Walthamstow Central & popped to Nat's for a chinwag, chilling with a couple of glasses of chilled smoothie YUM!! I also picked up my cream gloves, that I left there ages ago (before Christmas I think, after we did their local pub quiz) Tried a bit of one of Nat's veggie burgers, that he made (very nice) chatted with Nat until 6pm. Then I headed back to the Victoria line station (Still no word from Chris, shame out of the 5 of my cougar night pulls, he was looking to be, the only promising one, looks like it may be a cross not a tick in his box too!!....... Next!!) Thankfully Nick who turned out to be married has NOT got back to me after his holiday with the family, so that saves me having to tell him, to do one!


Got to Kings Cross at 6.30pm, but as I didn't have a peak time ticket I couldn't go through the barrier until 7pm, bugger!! So I popped to Costa Coffee for a yummy Caramel Cappuccino, while I waited for 7pm to come, Jennie text to say to come over. I said I was in London & I was waiting to get a train after 7pm so I'd not be back until 8pm! She text " That's no problem see you around 8!"   Caught the 7.10pm train back got in took my half wig off & scraped my sweaty fringed hair, back into a pony tail & popped to the shop for some decaf Diet Cokes, as Jennie never has any instant decaf coffee, and grabbed a prawn Mayo sandwich & Twiglets as I was starved & there was no time, for me to make dinner!! Then I legged it to Jennies & I was there for 8pm by the skin of my teeth! Chatted a bit about this & that & watched the soaps then on came 'Love Thy Neighbour' Jennie & Edgar had never seen it before & I explained how couples were competing for a cottage in 'Grassington Village Yorkshire'. 

 

The bigoted villagers were just as unpleasant as last week. The two couples this week were a lesbian couple trying for a baby & a life model (who was almost as unpleasant as the villagers, but not quite) She went in all aggressive & guns blazing assuming that, as she was a Yorkshire lass born & bread & they were a bunch of bigots, that she'd have a fair old lead on the lesbians, vote wise, but her loud & aggressive ways & tantrums, ended up with her shooting herself in the foot & the lesbians (below) actually ending up with more votes!!

 

 Headed home at 10pm tired, got home & unpacked my attire from the photo shoot and hung them up/put them away, made a decaf coffee & watched 'Friday Night Dinner' then 'The Ricky Gervais Show' then after removing my make-up and putting on night cream & massaging Satura Pro into my scalp & using the Satura lotion on my lashes & eyebrows, I retired to bed shattered neck & shoulders aching & arms feeling like I'd done 3hrs of free weights down the gym!!

Friday 11th March,  Woke up at 8.30am I dreamt but sleep was too disturbed to recall, what about. I should have money in my account today so I should be able to write & post off a cheque to pay my Very Red Gas Bill. My rent money should clear in the next day or so, for me to be able to pay February's rent, then judging on what I have left, once I have put some food in the fridge, hopefully I will have enough left over, to post some of Bills family's Xmas prezzies (No doubt he'd accuse me of using this time, since his outburst a week ago, to buy some, but they were all bought & wrapped before Xmas & were piled up on the lounge table, when Julie & Erdal popped round to swapped presents, because there are so many of Bills family, I have to start buying early, before anyone else!!) 

I pulled on my dark size 10 jeans that are now very snug!! They use to be so loose I could take them off or pull them on without undoing (meanwhile my newer, worn once size 8 jeans, sit unloved on my wardrobe shelf!! I have to get back in the gym as soon as neck/shoulder/back is sorted!!) I wore that with my Khaki V-neck long sleeved Petit Bateau T-shirt & matching jersey cardie,  rubbed the Satura Pro into my scalp & pulled hair back into pony tail.


I had a plain 3 egg omelet for breakfast and a Diet Coke, then I popped to the shop for milk & a paper, and popped my cheque to EDF in the post, then when I got back indoors I washed the breakfast plates/dishes from today & yesterday, then went online and applied to some more jobs & auditions. While listening to 'Loose Women' & 'The News' then I grilled some Tuna & cubed it & had it in a wholemeal pitta pocket, with salad, plus some Wotsits on the side. I hoovered the hall, back room, bedroom & stairs then settled down with a coffee & chunky KitKat to watch 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County' oh to have such a glamorous life in such good weather! Then for the rest of the afternoon it was back to sorting through old papers & paperwork & throwing out the trash!

Made myself a spicy cottage pie with Quorn mince, minty peas & lots of herbs & spices from my spice rack, with Weight Watchers mash on top!! which I had with a side salad. Went over my lines in the 'Fortune Teller' script that I'd been sent, then watched some TV, the usual soaps then 'The Mentalist' 'Friday Night Dinner' 'NCIS' then I finished off last weeks blog, which I had got behind with, due to upset caused on the Saturday. Finished it at 2am, so I decided to wait untill tomorrow to add pics & post. I put more Satura Pro on my scalp & brows & lashes then crashed out shattered. (Calories consumed 1,550)


Saturday 12th March,   Woke up in extreme pain at 9.45am downed a load of pain killers, but it just dulled & not removed the pain. Candie text me at 12.46pm saying 'Guess what arrived returned to me in the post today?....... Your Diary with the address ripped off & opened but in a plastic bag with a label return to sender!!!! Bloody post still better than lost for good, I'll post it Monday recorded del xxx'  Unbelievable she sent me that at the start of January & it's now mid March!!! I replied 'Bloody Post round here ... my brother has no idea!!.... Why the hell did they post it back to you, if they looked at the front page of my diary they'd see my (the owners) address & could of sent it straight to me!!?' She responded 'Obs some thieving postie thought it was something valuable' I said 'At this rate all the other things I haven't received should arrive around July/August' Had a shower then had a coffee & chunky KitKat to keep hunger at bay as didn't fancy a breakfast, breakfast! 


I popped to the shop & got a paper & some Diet Cokes & posted off my contract to Aardvark, then I went down to my local nail bar, to use the last of my free manicure vouchers on an infill & polish & took a iridescent blue/grey polish for them to use! I got home & had Sweet & Sour Quorn with rice for lunch, with a Diet Coke, then went online & found had a message from my (Ex Hollyoaks) mate Simon Cole, Saying he is back in London for some time, while getting things together for his Country & Western Album, that he is launching back in LA (where he now lives) Saying we must catch up for some drinks, gossip & giggles!! Hearing Simon was over really cheered me up, and put me in a totally different mood, than this time last week! 

 Simon Cole

Practised my script some more then watched 'Harry Hills TV Burp' made dinner of  a wholemeal pitta pocket, with tuna, olives & green salad inside, with some Twiglets & Diet Coke on the side. Then watched 'Take Me Out' the last one next week & still no date for Heidi. Then I added the pictures to last weeks blog & posted it pretty much a week late .... until my brother upset me, I'd got up to date with my blog grrr! Then I started writing this blog Watched the brilliant 'Tudors' typed a bit more of this blog then, washed, brushed my teeth & massaged Satura Pro into my scalp etc went to bed at 3am (Calories consumed 1,406) 


Sunday 13th March,  Laid in until 11am, dreamt but cant recall it, had a bath massaged Satura Pro into my scalp scraped my hair back in a pony tail & slipped on my grey Juicy Couture tracksuit, & had a coffee & sugar free Alpen for breakfast & then popped to my local off licence to get the NOTW and chilled with the paper for the afternoon. I got a call on my mobile, from a woman connected to the new Ch4 Pilot for a comedy topical show 'Is It Me' asking me a few more questions & saying Jay would give me all the final details Monday, but they would reimburse Zones 1-6 of my travel (£8 of the £15 I'd be paying so just over half!) 

Then at 3pm I had a sliced Quorn & pickle sandwich on granary bread with some Wotsits & a Diet Coke for lunch, hoovered the lounge & watered the plants, then after some more job & audition applications online, I settled down to watch 'Dancing On Ice' while writing my critique on this blog. I was not best happy with the result (if you want my views click HERE ) Then during the break, before the results show, I warmed up the other half of the Quorn Cottage Pie, that I'd made on Friday & had it with some baked beans, with a Diet Coke. 

For the rest of the evening I chatted on Facebook and Twitter a bit, to my friends & also to @ClareAtCan which some would say is one of the several spoof/parody Twitter accounts that sprung up after Clair Powell had Kerry Katona's, Hilarious Parody account @CurryKatona removed from Twitter, but I would say that, actually @ClareAtCan is more real, than the real thing, as well as being eye wateringly funny! Then I watched 'Outcasts' & continued writing this blog until I crashed out at 2.30am Calories consumed 1,363)
