Windsor & Cookie Diets..... Which Is Murder??

Monday 14th April (Week 5, Day 29)

I woke, at the start, of a new week, at 8am, I had a meeting to go to, so I jumped in the shower, my eyes are red raw, due to having my contact lenses in, all day, to try spot, my pals, running in the London Marathon, yesterday. I shouldn't off bothered, I never spotted a single one!! Role on laser surgery, no more sore eyes then. So as well as jeans & dark blue t-shirt, I wore dark blue, sandals & sunglasses, to shield & hide my manky eyes (sexy!!) I had two chocolate Cookies for breakfast at 8.30am, then went to my meeting at 9.30am. I had a call asking if I was free for 3 days for a drama series, filming in Windsor, knowing a friend wanted more work with them, I said I was free, but only if they could also cast my friend (If he's free) as he's local & we could car share, plus share petrol costs, making travel easier for me & travel costs, cheaper for us both!! 

After the meeting, I got a takeaway cappuccino, to go with my two snack Cookies, at 12.30pm, and headed home with todays paper. At 2pm I went to Beauty Secret, for another Bailine session, Yalda, said she had heard, that Simon had come in, on Saturday & that he was very handsome. Today it was time to do my torso again!! I had my 3 tone, dip dye, lilac underwear set on & Yalda said it was very pretty & I looked very brown. We had a chat, over a black coffee, after & as we did, I followed her new Beauty Secret, account, on Twitter @yalda1360 they are a lovely bunch of girls, so I hope they do well. 

I had my 2 lunch Cookies, 45min late at 3.15pm & did 30mins on the cycle & 30mins on the stepper, in the gym, then headed home. Having not heard from my friend, by 4.30pm, I text him, to see if the drama series, had contacted him? And if so, if he was free on those dates? He replied to me shortly after saying "I said yes, then realised, I'm not!!" Awe what a shame, that would have been a right laugh!! Oh well, that's showbusiness!! 

Hungry I had a snack Cookie at 5pm, I applied to a few auditions, and chatted to some friends on Facebook & Twitter, after checking, my emails. By 7pm I was ravenous, I'd of eaten my own leg & for a piscaterian that's saying something!!! The 1st 3 days, are meant to be the worse on this diet, but today, it's absolute murder, I'm so hungry!!! I could almost eat meat I'm so hungry!! So I had dinner, plum tomato & mascarpone soup, plus two slices of soya & linseed bread!! 702 cals, But by 8pm I was still gagging for food, so I had the 2 remaining snack Cookies. By 9pm, I was still feeling famished, so I had two more slices of soya & linseed bread (No spread) plus my can of K cider, that has sat in the fridge, for days!! A total of 500cals (oops!!) eventually my stomach stopped growling. I watched some TV & tried to finish, last weeks blog, going to bed at 2am.

Tuesday 15th April (Week 5, Day 30)

I had a lay-in until 10am, it's another bright sunny day out, will do a bit a spot of weeding later. I got on the scales, after my bit of a blowout weekend with Simon, and was surprised to see I've lost more weight, 9lb in total, according to my scales!! I had a wash, and had two, breakfast, maple Cookies, with a coffee. Still waiting for a call time, for a drama series tomorrow. A fellow SA from Hemel, Felicity, is picking me up, and we are going on to Windsor together. Now we have to await call time & costume. 

I finished off last weeks blog & posted it. I had more Cookies at noon, then did a bit of weeding. Then I did a couple of classes in the gym. I had my lunch cookies at 2pm & another snack one at 4pm. In a complete change to normal, I was constantly on the loo today.... It's like I'd been slipped an ALLI capsule!! I got a newspaper & a few bits, from my local shop. I then had a call on my mobile, from a top agent, who was putting me forward, for a part I'd love, with The Royal Opera!!! I'm auditioning for them next Wednesday, he said with my personality, he thinks I'll blow them away & get the role. The rehearsals will be, for a few weeks in May!! I hope the rehearsals, if I get it, don't clash with my laser eye surgery date, as I'd love this opportunity!!! 

My friends Martin & Terry, told me, that they too, were offered, the same dates, on the drama series as me, but neither could do Thursday. Both said to me, that they were gutted, not to be working with me, as they miss me, as we always have a laugh. Terry said to demand to be on his ward, on Holby City soon, as it's been absolutely ages, since I've worked with him, on there. 

Renny messaged me, laughing about my mention of him, in last weeks blog. He asked me, when I'd be able to fit him in, for a St Albans visit? I said when my life gets less audition manic! He said he needs to, get with more agents, as it's been too long since we last worked together, I said that I'd put a good word in for him!! "Cookie Diet's" fellow Guinea Pig, Julie, messaged me, saying she liked last weeks blog (Unlike my hater GLP!!) Wardrobe called & the costume brief, was muted summer colours. I can do that no problem (lucky that I changed my winter wardrobe, over to a spring/summer wardrobe, so finding apt stuff is easy!!) 

At 7pm I had a Birdseye, prawn curry (Note to Birdseye, your prawn curry is 90% rice 7% sauce & 3% prawns!!) But it still managed, to somehow sate my hunger, along with two slices of soya & linseed bread!! At 8pm I had a diet coke & a snack Cookie, watching 'CSI' then 'The Mentalist' before a earlyish night, going to bed at 10.30pm

Wednesday 16th April (Week 5, Day 31)

I am not sure, if I actually slept last night, or if I'd just rested, when the alarm went off at 4.30am? But if I did, it was only briefly!! I got ready for the day, washed & dried hair (dryer fused) and was ready with alternative costume choices all packed. At 5.45am Felicity arrived & we drove to Windsor to set. I realised, as we drove to the location, that as Felicity was 15mins early, in my hurry to leave I'd forgotten my cookies!!! Oops!! So full cooked set breakfast it was. Then it was costume checks, they chose from my selection what they wanted for me & I changed in one of the SA trailers. It was meant to be a hot day, but at 7am to 9am it was bitter cold out & I wished I'd brought my puffa jacket!! 

The set, was a lovely Windsor, Tudor Mansion (Below) which is the present setting, for a famous, American Drama, being filmed in London & around the SE. It's Ideal for a Halloween party, but with too much dark wood, inside, for my tastes. Not somewhere I'd actually, choose to live, even IF I could afford to!! I wondered how many generations, had died there? Either in their bed? Or by accident? Or other means, over the 500 years, that the Palmer family lived there? I wondered, if there had been any murders there? Or if it was, mainly at Windsor Castle, that people lost their heads, or were brutally murdered, in Tudor times? I also wondered, if the inhabitants, ever experienced any ghosts? 

There wasn't a huge amount, of SA people about, but I knew 85% of those, that were. The 1st & 2nd ADs, were lovely & unlike on 'other TV/Drama shows' they gave you a pep talk, before each scene, what was going to happen next, plus when you did well with your, continuity, they were very vocal & complimentary! Also a nice change!! By the afternoon it was boiling out & I was baking in my synthetic blouse, that wardrobe opted for, for me. So I opened a few buttons & caught a bit of sun.... Atul sunbathed between takes too!! (Below) 

I saw from the scene sheet, that one of the actors, on the episode, was James Lance. I've admired his comedic acting, since the 90s, when he was in 'Ab Fab' as Patsy's Toyboy, then later in things like 'Smack The Pony' I was actually in the same scenes, with him on 'The Look Of Love' a while back! I didn't see him on set today though. The sunshine, was super hot, today, it was beach & bikini weather, I hope tomorrow is the same. With no cookies on me, I had the catering lunch, of tagliatelle & ratatouille, with an ice lolly desert!! I spent a lot of my lunchtime, throwing a tennis ball, for a cute, cross eyed, collie dog. 

Then it was back to filming again, by 5pm, the temperature had dropped somewhat & it was a bit nippy, if you were sat in the shade, between takes. They brought out some sandwiches & I was good, I only had 1/4 of a cheese & pickle sandwich & a coffee, plus a orange juice. We wrapped bang on 7pm. Felicity & I drove home, after first finding a petrol station, as her car was very low on petrol. I got home, just in time to watch 'Secret Eaters' on +1 at 9pm followed by 'NCIS' also on +1 having 3 snack cinnamon Cookies, with a coffee & going to bed at 11pm. 

I met two fab SA's on set today, who I'd not met before. Mohinda (below) a really sweet, Indian lady who actually had me weeping with laughter, when she was telling me, about working as an Extra, on 'Robin Hood' when she said "I really wanted to be raped & pillaged, in the rape & pillage scene..... But nobody wanted to rape & pillage, an old Indian woman!!!" It was so unexpected, I roared with laughter!! It didn't take long after that, to find she was a right "game for a laugh ole girl" she was a sweet, little devil!! There was also a lovely blonde girl, with the most amazing jewel coloured, green eyes, called Nib, who was lovely too. The woman who owns/runs the manor house got us to sign the guest book too, which was nice!! 

Yalda, from Beauty Secret, sent me the video, of one of my favourite, Greek, dance tracks, today, which was really sweet of her, I must get the album Geia, by Despina Vandi (below) as I'm always, singing along & dancing around my flat, to it's title track!! 

Thursday 17th April (Week 5, Day 32)

I slept on & off, in a bitty, wake up every 60-90mins, type sleep!! Which made me feel, tireder, than when I had none (or next to none) yesterday!!! Knowing what I had to wear today (The same as yesterday!) meant, that getting ready, was a breeze. I was ready nice & early, for when Felicity arrived at 6am. I put my puffer jacket over my costume, as it was so cold yesterday on base, before the sun heated up!! I got in the car, to see Felicity had done the same, with a warm coat & warm boots, as the frosty/dewy grass gave her frozen feet, before the day warmed up, yesterday. 

We got to set at 6.45am, wardrobe double checked the SAs that had been on set yesterday, just to check our outfits were identical to yesterday (which of course they were) then it was another cooked breakfast (I'd left cookies at home again.... Oops) There were some more SA's today, more good SA friends I'd not worked with in ages!! Like Pam who it was great to see, plus Feih, who rushed over & hugged me, which was sweet. Another friend Alin, was also in, with his wife, Alin & I, normally just miss each other, normally we are on the same production, but always, somehow on different days!!  

I enjoyed catching up with my SA friends, then it was all off to base for today's scenes. The 1st or 2nd AD, took a group picture of us all, on Atul's phone camera (Above) The comedic actor, James Lance, was on set today. The day was fun & went fast, I was actually placed, so I got to interact with James Lance, in one scene. We had a bit of a laugh, with it, throwing in some jokey innuendo & double entendres, banter for good measure. 

It warmed up outside, as the day went on, but hazy cloud meant that, it was nowhere near as scorching hot as yesterday!! For lunch, I had fish pie, with green beans & cauliflower. Then a very yummy, naughty, banoffee pie for dessert, yum yum!! (Sorry Cookie Diet!!) Then it was back on set for more scenes, I was getting very positive feedback, from the ADs which was nice. There were lots more cute dogs, to play with & fuss over, when back outside & not needed on takes! One of the SA's was talking to actor James (Or Jimmy as the director was calling him) about his comedy role, involving pushing a piano in '2.4 Children' and asked for his autograph, which James was very accommodating, in doing.

I'd never do that, I think it's a bit cringey!! But the SA was a young lad, so being star struck, is more understandable. I chatted a bit to James, about when he played, Patsy's Toyboy, in 'Ab Fab' plus us both doing the same scenes in 'The Look Of Love' some time back, with 'David Walliams' We both agreed it was a fun shoot. The autograph getting, young SA, took a pic of me with James (above) Just as we were wrapping at 6.30pm. I was chatting to James at the time & asking if he was doing scenes, the following Thursday, wherever that would be, when a lot of the same people were back? He said he was & he wished me, a "Happy Easter" as I was heading off (to get signed off) which was nice of him. 

I'd been chatting to another lovely SA, I'd never met before called Renee, who told me, that she follows me on Twitter & loves my BLOG... Yes this one!! (Pauses, while my hater, GLP, chokes on their bile!!) She said she came across it, by accident, when trying to find two old school friends, from St Peter's school, in Belgravia & it popped up, so she read it & loved it & followed me on Twitter & now, here we were, on set together, small world ehhh!!? So once home I followed her back on Twitter & we added each other on Facebook. I got home around 8.40pm & bought a paper & some mineral water from the shop next door, then fixed myself a prawn tikka masala, for dinner, watching 'CSI & Body Of Proof' eventually going to bed, at 10pm, exhausted, back on the Cookie Diet track, tomorrow!! 

Friday 18th April, Good Friday (Week 5, Day 33)

I woke at 6am, I'd had a weird dream, I dreamt that while I slept, someone had tattooed the whole of my legs & feet, my outer legs, were tattooed, as a soldiers trousers, red with a white stripe, down the leg, with the end of a sword, scabbard, running down my thigh, on one leg, and black boots tattooed on my feet. The front of my feet were tattooed as boots, then the rest of the front of my legs, had multiple designs, like a sleeve of tattoos, I was absolutely horrified & enraged!!!! I thought "I'd rather amputate my legs, than live with these, repulsive tattoos!!" Then I fell asleep again & dreamt I was working in a supermarket & sorting out a customer with some half price fabric (Peacock blue brocade) plus another customers complaint, about their spring lamb. (My dreams are bonkers!!)

I woke at 10am, and had a wash, plus a coffee & two maple Cookies, for breakfast. I checked out some casting sites, for auditions/jobs, then I had a second coffee, as I changed for the gym! I wore grey 3/4 yoga pants & my fluorescent, coral, FCUK, t-shirt & white, Reebok, Easytone trainers. I put my hair up with a clip & applied some mascara & lipgloss then headed for the gym. 

Before I went on my way, To the gym, I popped to the shop, bought a Sun paper & two diet cokes, then I grabbed my puffa jacket & bag & headed to Fitness First, getting a small soya cappuccino from Costa Coffee en route, to have with my snack Cookie. I got in the gym, threw my bag & jacket in my locker, then filled my gym, drink bottle, with the two caffeine free diet cokes. Then I headed onto the gym floor, I did my usual, 30 mins on the bike, some exercises on the powerplate, I had another snack Cookie, then the usual routines on the hip abductor & hip adductor, before another 30 mins on the bike & some squats (I'm concentrating on my thighs) as they are responding the least to 'The Cookie Diet' & Bailine.... 

As my hater GLP could tell you (I have been told, by my readers, who were slagging off my troll) that GLP commented on my "Flabby Thighs" on my last blog!! (Exactly what was said, by GLP, I don't know?) As my NY Resolution, this year, was to delete GLPs comments, without bothering to read them 1st, as their opinion, is irrelevant to me!! So only have a rough idea, due to messages, from my enraged readers, about GLP. They said, they thought, that GLP, was a petty, idiot & of course ANY "Before" pics in a "Diet Trial" blog, would be bound contain, some less than flattering, bulgy pictures, adding the GLP comments had been pathetically laughable. ALMOST made me wish I'd read the comment, before deleting. I had my 2 lunch Cookies at 4pm

I got back from the gym, at 5pm & chatted for a bit, online, on both Twitter & Facebook. I'd watched my best friend Candie's husband Costa & her son, Xavier, on BBC1's 'Parking Mad' via iPlayer, earlier today. At 6pm I had 2 snack Cookies, by 8pm, I was famished & had a Quorn curry, with 'Good 4U' Super Shoots, lentil pea & bean shoots & 'Tesco's Finest' tomato, olive & rosemary salad, all washed down, with a litre of mineral water, with a drop of lemon juice & Fountain (Above) in it!! I watched 'NCIS' at 9pm & at 10pm I had the last snack Cookie with more mineral water, as I watched 'Gogglebox' on plus 1, then 'NCIS LA' on Ch5 +1, which is good, but not a patch on the original NCIS. Then I ran myself a bubble bath. I had a nice soak, which eased the aches, from the gym. After I watched a bit of Supercasino as I got ready for bed & while doing a few bits online, I also had a bit of fun banter on Facebook & Twitter & texting a friend, before going to sleep some time after 3am.

Saturday 19th April (Week 5, Day 34)

I woke at 8.45am, and watched a bit of TV in bed, while I checked my Email messages, Facebook & Twitter. Then it was a shower & two chocolate breakfast Cookies with a coffee. Then I got dressed, in my turquoise jeans, lemon, v-neck, t-shirt, plus turquoise & white, Roxy Life, trainers (below) Today I have an open audition to go to in London, the weather is sunny, but there is lots of rain clouds about. So it was puffa jacket & my holdall of leggings, for the dance part of the auditions & headed off for the station. I was glad of my puffa jacket, as it may have been sunny, but it sure was COLD!!!! 

I had a snack Cookie, while on the platform at St Albans station, and my 2nd snack Cookie, as I sat awaiting to go into my 1st part of audition, which seemed to go well. There was a couple of hours until the dance part, so a few of us went to McDonalds, and feeling very hungry & needing energy for the dance half, I decided to have lunch as my main meal & save the Cookies for dinner. I ended up having 935 cals oops!! (235 cals over) Well I'll hopefully dance some of that off!! Then it was back to, a lot of sitting around, waiting to be called, for our turn, at the dance half, of the audition. 

Eventually it became my turn & it must of gone well, as I was told to stay behind, as I'd gotten through to the second part of the dance audition. More sitting around, so I had my two dinner Cookies, with a coffee at 8pm. I was called in at 9pm & did my 3rd audition of the day, then I was to go take a seat, back in the smaller waiting area. 

At 9.30pm one of the audition team, came into the room & said that all of us in that room, had made it through, to the audition short list, HURRAH!! So now it's a waiting game, to hear. So I changed out of leggings, back to my warmer jeans & headed home. I got a soya cappuccino from Costa, on the way home & got in at 11.30pm. I got changed for bed, then watched the 1st bit of Supercasino as I checked my Emails, Facebook & Twitter, then crashed out at 1am, without even having my last 3 snack Cookies. 

Sunday 20th April, Easter Sunday (Week 5, Day 35)

I woke at 10.30am, after a weird dream, I dreamt I was in Katie Prices home, helping her rearrange her lounge, as she had too many couches in it, in a mix of coloured & styles!! I also dreamt I visited a male friend had another child, and he dressed him in a mini version of his own football kit. 

Then in my dream, I went to my holiday home, in Cyprus, my friend Candie was staying with me & we had a threesome with a guy I know, my place was amazing with a huge bedroom, with a panoramic window looking over the island & sea. I was in a bar when a stunning guy said we were neighbours & he could see into my bedroom from his. I thought "OMG!!! I hope he can't see me pottering around in the nude!!"... Then I was on a plane to my other holiday home in Jamaica with one of my older sisters, Julie, my kitchen was stunning & huge, I was showing her my new kitchen stools, that I seemed very proud of..... The subconscious is a mad thing!! Talking of mad things, look at this chap, imagine him eating soup or drinking coffee in your dining room.... With a WHITE carpet!!!! 

After my wash, I got on the scales, I've not lost any more weight this week..... But I have not GAINED any either!! So I'm still 9lb down. I had a coffee & the two chocolate Cookies, not eaten yesterday, for breakfast I wore my turquoise jeans with a pale grey t-shirt & pale grey, cardigan, with pale grey, pearled collar & turquoise & white Roxy Life, trainers (above) Today is a day of a marathon watch of my "V" video's (below) with a friend!!! As there is just rubbish, on TV, over Easter, mainly!! Plus typically the Easter weather, is it's normal cold rainy self!! 

I had a snack Cookie from yesterday's leftovers, at 1.30pm with a diet coke, as we took a "V" break, to watch 'Spiderman 3'. We had a 105g of Minstrels (527 cals) each as we watched the movie (Well it's Easter & I've not had an Easter egg!!) so I skipped my 2 lunch Cookies & 2 snack Cookies. Then it was back to "V" the DVD marathon, until 7.45pm, when we stopped for some curry for dinner, 638 cals, while catching the tail end of Catchphrase & Off Their Rockers. We were about to go back, to the "V" DVD marathon, when 'Toy Story 3' came on. I'd not seen that one, so we watched it. Sweet Movie!!

 At 10pm I wandered home, with my DVDs, hungry, I didn't bother opening a cookie bag, for my 3 evening snack cookies. So I had a soya & linseed bread, super food, sandwich. I will get back on the Cookie bandwagon tomorrow! I slid this week as it is rather boring & repetitive & I'm not a fan of, same ole, same ole!! I read the Sunday paper, some EVIL American mother, killed her 4 year old son, smashing his head in, because she thought he was gay!! Because "He walked & sounded like it!!" WTF??? How butch can a bloody 4yr old boy sound? What is becoming of this world?? Meanwhile, a 65yr pensioner (But looks, much, much older) Calling himself, Roxanne, is demanding a £20K sex change on the NHS. Roxanne (below) says "Sorry guys, I know I'm pretty, but I'm a lesbian!!" No offence Roxy, but I think, that just maybe, laser eye surgery, is more urgent for you, first!!! 

I watched 'Fargo & Heat' on Ch4 +1, two good movies, on at Easter for a change. I can't wear any contact lenses next week, as I have a pre laser op, eye examination the following week. I can't wait to have normal sight, it's my birthday present to myself. I'm not going to be 50 & 50% blind!! It will be life changing, even if I will be paying instalments for a long time. I could get it done on the NHS but that could be ages & my eyes have really deteriorated, since their pneumonia damage, a few years back. Talking of NHS, that VILE piece of garbage, Josie Cunningham is in the papers again. Last time it was about her getting a boob job on the NHS after lying, she was broke & her small boobs made her DEPRESSED!! The truth was she was a prostitute, who could afford to pay for the Op herself, and wanted a boob job, to increase her clients & do glamour modelling!!! With that face??? (Below) 

Now the low budget slag, is pregnant, from one of her punters (So she is a nice, no condom, Aids/STD risk too!!! Classy!!) It now emerges, that the skank, now wants to abort the baby, to court fame, going in the Big Brother House. Is there no depths this little slut, won't sink to? She will be one of the most hated women, in the UK, long before she enters (If they are mad enough to have her, plus, that low life 'Big D' from 'Benefit Street') More exposure, will just make her further despised!!! She is beyond repulsive, I wonder if her parents are hanging their heads in shame, or if they are, the same level of scum, as her? I went to bed at 1.45am, a busy week of auditions & interviews ahead. I will try to get back on, the cookie diet, again next week, but this week, trying to stick to it was absolutely murder!

New Year New Attitude!!!

Monday 31st December 2012, I dreamt, but don't recall the details, woke at 10am, had a coffee & answered some fan mail, sent to me via online & some via casting agents (I still think it odd that I have fan mail, it's not like I'm a celeb!!) But I don't want to be rude, so answer all. Some even want to pay me, for signed photos, still can't get my head around that one!! Another boring day ahead, all New Years have been shit, since mum died!! Normally I have a list, of about 10, New Years Resolutions, on NYE, but this year it is just 4.

1) Not to smoke (Easy one to keep as I never have smoked)

2) Continue to lose weight & get back to my old slim, fit, self again (Slowly getting there)

3) To put myself 1st, and only make as much effort for others, as they do for me in 2013

4) To get out of debt & back in credit in my bank!!

I started the wheels of No3 on Christmas day, by not being the 1st to text "Happy Christmas" to everyone & ONLY texting it, to those who text me 1st (With the exception of Mr R) To test myself to see if I had the strength, to restrain myself from reaching out to friends & family 1st!! Now wished I'd done the same to Mr R too!!... Stupid cow that I am!) So the same apply's tonight with the 'Happy New Year' texts too!! It will be hard to hold myself back, I know, but I need to start getting, a bit more selfish. It soon shows who actually thinks about you & who just responds to you, thinking about them. It can be quite an eye opener!! 

I popped to the shop, for the paper & a few bits, then came home & read the paper. The front page was about dangerous criminals & terrorist scum being tracked by their tags on Satnav technology (It would be a damn site cheaper, just to execute the scum) Very ugly, rugby, star, Paul Wood, has left his wife, for the porn star, that use to shag, VERY ugly footballer Mario Balotelli (Maybe she is doing porn, to pay for cataract treatment??) There was a bit in the paper, about Tom Cruise & how apparently, Scientologists, have dug a giant, Scientology, Cathedral, in a mountain, called Mesa Huerfanita, in New Mexico, north of Roswell.

There was also a bit about the Sheffield, widow, of the church organist, brutally murdered, on his way to midnight mass, on Christmas Eve (The vile scum) Maureen Greaves, said she hadn't stopped weeping for husband, Alan. Ryanair Pilots say, that the company is putting passengers at risk, by ordering that crew fly, with the minimal amount of jet fuel, in their planes, on a Dutch TV show. Not much else of interest (Now papers can't snoop) I caught up on the final 'Burn Notice' I missed that one, when I had to have an early night due to filming in Bristol. After that I went on Facebook & Twitter for a bit, put a generic 'Happy New Year' Message up on FB & changed my profile cover, to a New Year apt one!! 

At 3.30pm, I realised I'd not eaten anything, so I had a couple of faux chicken burgers, with cheese, mayo & mustard, in 2 burger buns & tried a NEW, Coconut, Chunky, KitKat, as the NEW Hazelnut one was lush!!....... Sadly the Coconut one was vile!!.... Pure Sugar ughhhh!! So sickly sweet, had to throw the rest away after 2 bites Yuck!!!!!

I chatted briefly to 'Mr R' he is driving straight to his parents, after his night shift, so I wont be seeing him tonight, so the only bang, I will experience, seeing in the New Year, will be the fireworks on TV, or outside my window. At 5.30pm, I got my 1st 'Happy New Year' text, from 'Big Brother's', Kinga Karolczak, wishing me 'Health, wealth & success in 2013' Which was sweet of her & I text her back. Then I watched a load of 'CSI' & 'Law & Order' while checking my audition sites online. 

My Twitter follower @EvilBarbiesFan is back, after a year way too. Lolli had talked about doing something for NYE, on the phone, when she was sloshed, last week, but I have heard no details since & I haven't chased her up over it!! (Sticking to no3 resolution rules) So I watched 'Come Dine With Me Top 30' 

Kinga Karolczak

At 7.48pm, my Acting friend, Richard Herdman text me "Happy New Year" & hoped, I have a fab time. I wont be, but appreciated the sentiment, he has had a tough year, which is, thankfully, now, improving, for him! My friend Alan (Who a mutual friend says, is the son, of Carry On star, Sid James, I've never asked Alan, to confirm if this is true!) text me at 8.49pm saying "Wishing You a  very happy & great New Year, may your troubles be few & your happiness be untold. P.S sent now as no signal at home again!" Which I also replied to instantly.

Simon Cole

At 9pm, I watched '2012: A Funny Old Year' While watching that, my lovely Singing/Acting friend, Simon Cole (Above) called me, from a friends house party, in Buckinghamshire, to see how I was & wish me a 'Happy New Year' & said he'd try to call me after 12 midnight, if he could get a signal. My friend Ian Mann, was also there & said he loved me & 'Happy New Year'. I continued watching the TV program & my friend Mike, text me, from Poland saying 'Have a Happy New Year X' which again I replied to instantly. 

Mike & I

At 10pm, I watched 'Alan Carr's New Year Spectacular' on Ch4 +1, the piss take sketches, were the best bit, the guests were a bit boring. Candie text me at 11pm saying 'Happy New Year June hope 2013 brings you everything you wish for xxxx' which I also replied to immediately & at 12am, I turned the TV over, to watch the New Year fireworks, which were spectacular. Mr R surprised me, with a text from work at 12.17am saying 'Happy New Year. May it bring you loads of success x' Which was a very nice surprise.

At 12.55am I watched 'Supercasino' for some late night entertainment, as Rob is on tonight (As he is Every New Year) & it's always funny, when he is presenting & also there is bugger all else on, worth watching, if I'm honest. We had a bit of Twitter banter, and he gave me a few call outs, as usual, which was a laugh. At 12.42am, a lover from the past of mine, called Ryan text me "Happy New Year. Lots of love Ryan"  I replied "Thanks darling hope you have an amazing year" To which he replied "U2 x x" I continued watching Rob, on Supercasino, until 2am, when he had his break, then I went & had a coffee & had a bit of Twitter, banter, with him, it was really funny tonight, on the show. 

As yesterday, I was teasing Rob on Twitter, about this young, adoring, 20 something, girly fans! Calling them his Robettes, which he found very amusing. Then today, a bunch of them tweeted him, on the show, calling themselves, his Robettes, even spelt the same way, that I'd spelt it yesterday. He was laughing as he read it out & I knew he must be thinking 'Bloody hell what are the odds on that!!?' I DM'd him, asking if he had said anything to them? About what I call his collective girl fans & he replied that, No they had actually, ironically, named themselves the very same name, a day after me saying it! Spooky!!

Gina messaged me on FB, saying that I was shown a lot, on the 'Loaded New Year Show', along with the rest of the gang..... Bugger why isn't Sky200, on Freeview, like Sky3 use to be? I have Sky Sport & I don't bloody want that!!! I Watched Robs 2nd shift on Supercasino, until it finished at 4am. During which time, and without a text from me 1st.... I received NO text of 'Happy New Year' from any of my siblings. Sadly I knew it would be the case, but I still hoped, that I'd be proven wrong! My last 2 'Happy New Year' texts I sent out, took a long time sending, due to a, no doubt, busy network, but I doubt that's why, I received nothing text wise, from either. Turned off the lights & went to sleep at 4.05am (Calories consumed _____)

Tuesday 1st January 2013, I dreamt something, about doing a TV show & Kilroy Silk was pissing me off, hogging all of a sofa, backstage. Also for some reason at some point, my late mother, was pushing me, in a wheelchair, past some road works & up a hill (Not easy for a 4ft 9" woman)  God only knows what my mind is trying to tell me!! It is a mystery to itself!!! My best gay friend, Nat text at 10.19am saying 'Happy New Year' Hope you had a great night & an amazing 2013. Nat X' I replied 'Thanks hun... Sadly not, it was another boring day, spent in bed watching TV, just like Christmas... But feeling positive about 2013, wishing you both a wonderful 2013 x' he replied 'U shud of come out with us.

Errr I thought they were still in Bath, I saw no mention online, or by phone that they were back! Thought you'd be out with your TV gang (Don't know why he thought that? As apart from the meal last week, I only see them when we're working) Come down any time. P.s gotta go to Luton 1 day in week. Wanna meet up?' To which I replied 'I thought you were still at your mums, yeah that would be cool x'

I had a wash & dressed, in now baggy jeans (result) & gold velvet V-neck top. Then popped to the shop for a paper. I made a coffee & had it with a NEW Choc Fudge, Chunky KitKat (So much better than the sickly, sweet, Coconut, but not a patch on the Hazelnut one!!) I browsed the paper, the front cover is about Kim Kardashian, carrying rapper Kanye West's baby (Bad taste in both men & birth control apparently!!) Guess her belly, will now balance out, her huge butt now!! There was a bit on the amazing New Years, London, fireworks, plus those in Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Moscow, Edinburgh & Newcastle. Not much else except the news a poor 17yr old lad was stabbed to death trying to protect his 15yr brother having his Blackberry phone stolen (Scum they should bring back the death penalty!!)

Then with bugger else on TV, I watched the 1st in the series of 'Burn Notice' (Excellent Show!!) I Tweeted Rob (As I often do) while he was on 'Supercasino', last night. Saying that he looked like, a better looking, version, of the lead 'Michael' (Above & Below) in the show. After someone else, on Twitter, had tweeted that he was like 'Craig' from the film 'A Night At The Roxbury'  (Rob's not that akin to him, in my mind, but each has their own view) Which in my look-alike case, I think is pretty correct. But Rob has a better nose & a upward turning mouth, rather than the downward turning mouth of the guy who plays 'Michael' Rob would be able, to take over the 'Burn Notice' role from the actor, quite seamlessly, as long as he could master, the American accent. 

After that, I watched some of the simply amazing, USA home transformations, on 'Extreme Makeovers - Home Edition' on 'Really TV'. They really are awesome & even get me welling up, over the sweet family's, they help, which isn't a common event  (But I'm a Sucker for other peoples, good luck story's, after their adversity!!) Peckish around 4pm, I had a veggie burger with cheese, in a burger bun & some chilli rice crackers, for lunch/dinner. At 4.39pm Nat replied to my text with 'I'll let you know. Gotta pick car up. We broke down on M1 on Fri near Luton. Meet for lunch when I pick it up.' I replied 'Cool look forward to it ;o) Shame re car though! x'

Then it was more 'Extreme Makeover Home Edition' Mr N (The reality star) inboxed me on Facebook & was making me laugh, with some banter, he has finished his stint in Panto now. I watched a bit of Joan Collins in 'Deal Or No Deal' then back to 'Extreme Makeover Home Edition' again!! My friend Ste McClay was trying to entice me out to 'Egg' nightclub, in Kings Cross, but after the anti climax, of Xmas & NYE, I just wasn't in the mood, to get all done up & head out into the freezing cold..... Yesterday YES!!... But not today!!! The momentum has well & truly gone!!.... 

Mind you, in spite of this, I'm feeling optimistic, about 2013!!!... I watched 'Eastenders' to get up to date & also as I don't know what date, this month, I'm on it. A guy on Twitter, tweeted I looked amazing, on the 'Loaded NY Show' on 'Loaded TV' yesterday, and teased me about, my Scoobydoo drawing, which I found very funny, as I'd had trouble getting the pen of the iPad app to work.

At 9pm, I watched Russell Crow, in 'Robin Hood' on Ch4, I could of watched on Ch4 +1 & watched 'Gary Barlow & Friends' 1st on ITV But James Cordon is on & I just can't bare him & stomaching him once this week on 'Big Fat Quiz Of The Year 2012' was more than enough!! I was actually surprised, how much I enjoyed 'Robin Hood' mind you I am a sucker for a battle scene!! It reminded me about Ch4's 'Camelot' I was really enjoying that, even though Arthur was, a badly cast, weedy actor & Guinevere's, hot, knight, fiancé, would never get dumped, for the puny king, in reality. 

 Puny Arthur 

Or Hot Knight?

Plus the hottie in question, was killed off at end of 1st serries (Alas a 2nd series was not to be made!!) Shame, I loved Arthur's, evil sister (Below) & Merlin!!! 

Merlin & Evil Sister

After that, peckish, I had a bowl of choc chip, mini Weetabix & a coffee, then I went into my lounge (As I'd not sat in there, since I dressed the Xmas trees, before Christmas) & watched the repeat of yesterdays 'The Graham Norton Show' which seemed to be designed, to give me a permanent wide-on, tonight!! 

First, Tom Cruise (Who I have fancied since my teens) Who both the love of my life 'Mr G' & ex lover Ryan, look like, from his 'Top Gun/Cocktail' days. He was on, to talk about new film 'Jack Ryder' and a bit about his present project 'All You Need Is Kill' Filmed locally in Herts & in London, as well as abroad (So near & yet so far, for me!!..... I'd of made a great Corporal Julie too!!) Tom is aging, very slightly, around the eyes, now. But hell, I so still would. Then there was, the charismatic & funny John Bishop, who I am attracted too, as I love a funny guy! (I was on his 1st show of 'John Bishops Britain') Then finally there was Hugh Jackman, he so got me going, in both the 'Xmen' films as Wolverine & also in the film 'Australia' 

Plus, there was the funny, but non wide-on giving, odd looking, Billy Crystal. Who's top half of his face looked 10-15yrs younger, than the jowly bottom half! It was like he had plastic surgery, but ran out of cash, half way through..... Odd!! Pink performed too, she suited tonight's dress, much better, than the evening gown, she wore on 'Xfactor', as boyish, tattooed, Pink, just can't pull off, an elegant, ball gown, convincingly!! 

Then I found that one of my agent's, had done a HUGE fuck up, with my online profile & I went absolutely ape shit!! God knows who they employ, to run it, but they must pay peanuts, as they got a bloody inept monkey!! Hopefully, it will be sorted tomorrow!! I watched 'NCIS' Love that show, plus I fancy Mark Harmon & Michael Weatherly (Even when Michael played the nerd, in a wheelchair in 'Dark Angel') Then I watched a rubbish horror film 'Bug' Utter Shite!! After I watched 'St Elsewhere' before retiring to bed. Yet another day with no 'Happy New Year' from my siblings without me texting it to them 1st (Calories consumed 1,268, 62cals, UNDER target, good!!)

Wednesday 2nd January, I know I had, a really long & complex dream, but what about, I just cant recall?? I got up had a wash & washed & dried hair, and put it up in a topknot & did a light make-up. Then I had a coffee & mini choc chip, Weetabix, for breakfast. I did some laundry & some washing up & watered the plants, then popped to the shop for a paper. Then I made a black coffee (Speeds up the effect of a workout, if drank 30mins before exercise!!) 

The front page, is about lethal assault riffles, like the one used by the psycho, in the Sandy Hook, school, massacre, being sold legally in Britain (Well that's a huge surprise...... NOT!!!!) A 15yr old, 5ft 5", black, Gambian, teen, Dawda Jallow, is wanted over the Murder of 17yr old Dogan Ismail, who was stabbed, trying to get back the Blackberry, of his 15yr brother, Orhan. From the mugger scum, in Walworth, South London (Deport the scum, as we sadly can't execute) 

There was also a bit, on a 32yr skank, called Clare Jenkins, who only dates & has sex with married men..... Classy!!! I'd never touch a married man, no matter how much I was attracted to him, he'd have to be separated & undergoing divorce proceedings, for me to even consider a date, let alone sex (Old fashioned values)

Talking of sex, a serial sex attacker, is being hunted, after he just walked out, of an open prison (WTF was scum like this, doing in an open prison???) Sean Cawthray, 41, was jailed indefinitely in 2002 for trying to snatch, a 14yr old girl!! (So WHY is he in an OPEN jail??) He'd been jailed for 4yrs, in 1990, for rape & attempted rape, for 8yrs in 1991, after a further conviction (Again, WHY a frigging open jail?) If anyone is raped & murdered, by him, while he is on the run.... whoever agreed to him being in an 'Open' prison is a accomplice to the crime & should be charged too!!

I wore a lemon, camisole vest, my dark grey 3/4 gym leggings, & my white Rebook, Easytone, trainers, put my Fitnessfirst hand towel & drinking bottle in my rucksack & headed for the gym. I did some exercises, on the power plate, then 30mins on the bike, then 100 reps, on the hip adductor & another 100 on the hip abductor, then more exercises on the power plate, then 50 reps of leg lifts & 50 leg curls, then more power plate exercises & then 20mins on the cross trainer, finished off, with more, power plate exercises. 

Then I headed to Tesco, for a few essentials & went home. Hungry I had some sweet potato, coconut & chilli soup with a olive roll. Then I went online, my casting agent who have made a massive fuck up, have not rectified the problem, despite claiming to have done so, to me!!! So more bollocking was in order, meanwhile, I had a response, from one of the best known casting agents, about me going on their books. So that balanced out, my "Not happy!!"  mood. Nat Tweeted me, that he was picking up his car, in Luton tomorrow & was I free to meet up? I said that indeed I was! He said he'd let me know, what time, he'd be arriving, tomorrow morning.

I went on Facebook & Twitter, for a bit of a chat & catch up on messages (Mr R was off to footie training, just as I was back from the gym) rather him than me, in this rainy weather. I watched a bit of 'Real Housewives Of Orange County' a old repeat. Then I watched the 'Midsomer Murders' I'm in 'Death & The Diva's' at 8pm. I text my siblings Bill & Julie, at 7.50pm before it started, saying 'Happy New Year, if your watching Midsomer Murders tonight, I'm one of the Horror enthusiasts dressed in Pink' 

Neither replied, as I half expected, so, like I said, in my New Years Resolutions, I won't bother to tell them, in the future. No effort from them = none from me. Then I had two small cheese topped rolls, spread with lemon & coriander houmous, for tea then watched 'Mock The Week' 

Ian & I, In 'Death & The Diva's'

Then I started to watch a film called 'Wind Chill' but it was so god damn awful, I had to turn over & instead, I did some squats, with a Swiss Ball, before watching 'CSI' & 'NCIS' While I watched that, I joked around for a bit, with my friend Ian, on Twitter, about my love for USA born, Canadian, TV star, Jensen Ackles (Who I just drool over, on 'Supernatural' 'Dark Angel' 'Smallville' & 'Days Of Our Lives') I joked I was going to hunt him down, when I go to stay with Simon Cole, in Canada, later in the year. 

Jensen 'Perfect' Ackles 

I did some resistance band exercises, while watching, classic (But Crap) Horror Film, 'Rosemary's Baby' it always makes me giggle, it's just so naff. Then eventually retired to bed at 3.30am, I'd meant to have an early night. (Calories consumed 1,730 which with 527cals burnt in the gym = 1,203 cals Good!!)

Thursday 3rd January, After a restless night, of no sleep I got up at 9.30am, I had a wash & had mini, choc chip, Weetabix, for breakfast, with a coffee. Then I did a natural make up & tied my hair back, and watched a bit of Daytime TV, in my leopard print dressing gown, while waiting to hear from Nat, when exactly to meet. He text at 12.08pm, to say, the car people, had let him down, so maybe tomorrow, or Monday. So I checked Twitter & Facebook sent a few messages to friends & then did some more Swiss ball squats, while watching the TV, then headed off to the gym. 

I saw my favourite, cheeky, trainer Roary, in the gym today & we chatted about Christmas & New Year. He flirted with me, as always (After a personal trainer Fee Roary??? lol) I worked out on the power plate, then did 30mins on the cycle, plus did the same leg repeats as yesterday, but with 5kg more weights, on the machines today!! Then I went on the cross trainer & power plate again. After 3hrs, I headed home, stopping in Tesco en route.

I got in, checked my Twitter, Hotmail & Facebook & my diary as a casting agent, had two dates for me, but I could only do one! Nat text me earlier, at 4.58pm, as I was getting ready to leave the gym, saying he was getting the 11.05am train, to Luton tomorrow, so I will check what time it gets into St Albans & jump on the same one, I have an item, to return in Luton anyway. I had a bowl of Beetroot & Horseradish soup, with a wholemeal, rye, roll. Which really filled me up, I did some paperwork & then watched 'CSI Miami'. Popped to the off licence, to buy a Sun newspaper, as I'd accidentally bought a Mirror paper, as I reached for the paper, bellow the tatty, top, Sun newspaper, in Tesco's, without looking, whoops!!

I read the Sun paper, the front page, is about dated, comedian, Jim Davison, being arrested over the Jimmy Savile paedophile allegations (As is the Mirror's front cover!) He was meant to go into the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house tonight, but now someone else will take his place (Apparently, boring, slob, Razor Rudduck, according to rumours on Twitter) 

There was a bit on an appalling spoof of 'Gangnam Style', by a 16yr lad from Norfolk called 'Norfolk style' (Below) 8 points for effort, but, -2 for singing ability!! It made me think of Twitter buddy, Rob Lamarr, as he is from Kings Lynn, in Norfolk & he also loved Gangnam Style. Doubt he will love this though.... I Tweeted him the YouTube link. His lack of response, to my tweet, makes me think I'm right, PML 

The Winter, vomiting bug, norovirus, hits 150,000 Brits a week, I had that the day after the 'Loaded TV' launch party in Surrey. That was certainly not pleasant!! It has affected 1.1Million people since the summer, and is set to get worse, making it the worst outbreak, since records in 2000 began! There was nothing of interest in the Mirror paper, just some of the same, but with a real leftie bias!! I watched 'CSI' & then it was the launch of this years 'Celebrity Big Brother'

Peckish, I had two cheese twists. Three days into 2013 & still no 'Happy New Year' from my siblings.... lovely!!! I'm also trying to find my letter, from the Private Hospital, about my consultation, re my back to get the date & time. I have put it somewhere safe! Unfortunately SO SAFE, I can't find it!! The first two Housemates, in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' House, were jockey, Frankie Dettori & Reality Show trier, Rylan Clarke. Who got to choose, from the next celebrity pairs, who goes into a nice house & who goes into a shitty basement. It might of been, a nice twist, but it was obvious, who they would save each time! 

As except for the next celeb couple, unlikable Paula Hamilton ..... (So an obvious choice for basement) and bland Tricia Penrose (In a fab sequinned dress) All the other celeb couples, were Male V Female! So of course they were going to save the girls (Boring!!!) They would of been better, saying choose housemate 3 or 4, 5 or 6 etc without them actually knowing, who they are!! (A far better & more entertaining, method in my view!!) The next duo was Gillian (Cathy Beal, from Eastenders) in a lovely red dress & Toady from Neighbours. Surprise surprise (Not) she was saved & he went to the basement.

Then it was a boring, cocky, young, lad, Sam from Eastenders & that shite comedy, Beaver Falls, V a moronic page 3 girl, called Lacey Banghard (Yeah, sure that name is real) She may have a banging body, but is repulsively thick & speaks like, she has just inhaled helium!! (Wish they could both go to basement, but of course again SHE was saved!!) Then it was doughnut loving, Claire from steps V pie snorkeler, Razar Ruduck (Again no contest who they were going to choose!!) 

Then it was the American 'The Hills' morons Spencer Pratt (Pratt by name & prat by nature!!) Plus his repugnant, moronic, plastic surgery, loving, wife Heidi. The next rubbish twist was, that the Pratt's stay as a pair so Rylan & Frankie have to decide whether to send them to the basement, or let them into the house & replace them, by going to the basement themselves (Yeah like that selflessness was going to happen!!!..... they're celebs, admittedly Z list celebs, but still celebs!!) It would of been better, if they had to save 1 from the basement, but then decide which one, of the two of them, would replace them in the Basement...... Bad planning BB!!!

Then it was 'Celeb Big Brothers Bit On The Side' time , the stylist obviously hates Emma Willis, as they put her in, an unflattering, red, dress, with badly coordinated, pasty, pale, tights & nude shoes, plus an unflattering hair style!!.... Only the dress colour was nice!! I had some choc chip, mini, Weetabix as a snack/tea then had an early night at 1am (Calories consumed 1,289 good, minus 369cals burnt in the gym = 920cals)

Friday 4th January, by 9am, I still couldn't sleep, so I got up had a wash & curled my hair, and did my make-up. Then I dressed in pale jeans, a gold, long sleeved, V-neck, top with a golden sand jacket & tan boots. I popped to the shop for a Sun newspaper & made myself a coffee & had a chunky, mint, KitKat, for breakfast. Then I checked my Hotmail, Twitter & Facebook. I emailed Paul to say I loved the 'Horror Shop' script, but felt the costume pictured, for 'Shirley Vampentine' was too girly & I sent him 3 pics, of what I thought were Shirley outfit's & emailed him them. He replied they were spot on & to buy all 3 & wigs & to get Sarah at the office to reimburse me. 

Then I put on my long, black, military style, Primark coat, put a unused, faux, ponytail, hairpiece, in my shopper bag I got from my sister Julie, for Xmas & headed out to the train station, to meet Nat. Over half way there, I checked my purse, to see if I had my debit card holder in it? As I'd taken it out, to take, to the gym with me, yesterday!! Bugger!! So without that & no cash in my purse, I ran home again, I couldn't find it, but I found the left over £10 from the £20 I drew out yesterday & grabbed that & ran back to the station, and just made it, in time, to buy a ticket & get to the platform, just as Nat's train pulled in. Phew!

Nat & I got to Luton & we wondered round the shops, including Primark (With me frustrated, to see stuff I wanted, but had no cards/cash to buy with!!) Then we went to, the Asian run store 'Julia' at 69 George Street, Luton, to return the (Unused) faux, blonde, pony tail, that was not the same blonde colour, or style, of the one hanging on the hook, in front of it, when I bought it, when I was last in Luton, for a boring In Training meet up. It had changed, inside the shop & now had just fake & real hair strips, for weaves & hair products. The guy I spoke to (The Manager, I think!?) said he WOULD of refunded me, but they no longer stocked the product. 

As we came out, we saw a business, bang opposite called 'Julia's Wigs' They had obviously taken over the shop opposite & separated them into weaves & hair products, in one shop & wigs & hairpieces in the other (Why did the guy not mention this? When saying he would refund, if they still stocked the product?) So we walked in & there was, a wall full, with the 'same brand' of the faux ponytails, I wanted exchanged, for the right shade. It too was totally Asian run. So I explained to the assistant, how I'd bought the hairpiece, but on getting home & looking at it, I found, it was NOT the same shade, as the one, hanging on the front of the hook, as an example (Not something, obviously spotted me, when shopping, half blind, due to having no contact lenses) 

Also when in a box, with a black hairnet round it, it looks a slightly different colour, than one out of a box, even when it is the same colour!! She could of easily swapped, my unused item, in the wrong shade, for the same one, in the right shade (Being sold, still at same price) But 1st she tried lying, that they were a totally different company!! (Bullshit) Saying she couldn't refund it anyway, as even though they are both 'Julia' franchises (So obviously, NOT a totally different company) As their street number is different, than the branch opposite, my receipt is not valid there  (Bullshit, I have worked in retail for decades, she doesn't need to have my receipt for records, only to know that it was bought & not shoplifted) I can buy something in Boots, in St Albans & exchange it in ANY Boots, anywhere in the country, the address on my Boots receipt, is irrelevant ! 

She could of easily,  just put it through her till, as an exchange. So Nat & I went back to 'Julia' & spoke to a shop worker & asked "Is Julia's wigs part of your business??" and we were told "Yes!!" Proving yet again, her claims that they were different company's, was a lie (As we knew!) We then spoke (again) to the guy who said that he WOULD of exchanged my faux ponytail. IF they had it in stock!! We pointed out that it WAS in stock, in their connected franchise, across the road (Which he'd conveniently, failed to mention, moments earlier!!) He then tried to back track & say although they were connected, they had different managers, then tried to say that for "hygiene" reasons hair pieces & wigs could NOT be returned, as stated on receipt. Which he NOW pointed out, adding I should of double checked, the item, was the same blonde at the time!!

Having worked in retail, I know you have to 'point out' this 'No Returns' fact, at the till, to the customer, at point of sale (They had NOT done so!!) I also know, via working in retail for decades, this hygiene clause, is also stated on underwear, like pants & knickers, but it is Null & Void, if item is still in the packet & unworn!! As my ponytail, hairpiece, still was!! Foolish move, by two sets of liars, in both 'Julia' & 'Julia's Wigs' franchises, as I buy a lot of wigs, hairpiece's etc for various roles, shoots & party's.

So them being, lying, tightwads, has cost me £8.99, plus a hairpiece I cant use!! But it has cost them a lot more, in the long run. As this afternoon alone, I'm paying out £121.67 on wigs, for my TV role of 'Shirley Vampentine' They could of had that & a lot of other money coming their way, via me, if they'd just done the simple task, of an exchange of hairpiece, for one of the correct colour, after all it was THEIR mistake, of putting the wrong coloured hairpiece example, on the end of the hook, of the row, of the one, that I bought! If they didn't notice the difference, why would I when without my glasses!! 

So I'd NOT recommend anyone shop at 'Julia' or 'Julia's Wigs' as their Customer Service, is abysmal, if they are not telling you out & out lies, they are twisting terms & conditions to avoid paying you any refunds, and lying that, the two shops, are not connected, the exchange could of been done & neither party would of missed out. So if you are foolish enough, to shop there, I advise you double check every item, before checking out at the till. I will be writing them a very bad Qype revue!! 

After that we went to 'The Carvery' where Nat & I eventually (After a bit of haggling) got a table for two, near-ish the window (Even though they were practically empty) We ordered two Diet Cokes, after getting Waitress, Kelly, to assure us, it was bottled, and (Not pump) Diet Coke. I asked Kelly if the 'Vegetarian Carvery' on the menu, was just the veg, without the meat? Or was there a nut roast, that went with it? She said "No" it was just the Carvery vegetables. Then we got up to join the queue for the Carvery. Nat had the Gammon & I just had a load of veg & roast veg yumm!!! The Roast Potato's & Roast Parsnips (A fave) were yummy!! Nat was less impressed, with his Gammon. The old couple on the table adjacent, were totally absorbed in Nat & I, and our conversations, and were not subtle in their eavesdropping either. 

We were half way through our meal & our two Diet Cokes, had still not arrived, to our table (We had expected them to have been on our table, by the time we'd got back, from our queue, at the Carvery, as the place was practically empty!!) Eventually we finally managed to get Kelly's attention & asked about our drinks!? She said they were just being made (Ahh so they were not just pouring out, two bottles, into two glasses then? They make their own Coke? Wow!!.. So that's why it had taken, well over 15mins, since ordering them, for them to arrive!!?)

The two glasses of Coke, arrived, in dirty glasses, with lipstick on Nat's glass & some grey, lint like, fluff, attached to the glass, on the rim of mine. After trying repeatedly (Without success) to get Kelly's attention (Despite there being only 8 tables, maximum, with patrons on & we'd served ourselves from the Carvery) So only the non Carvery dishes, drinks & deserts, needed to be served, by the bunch of waitresses. So really, they were not that busy, not to notice, flaying arms. In the end, Nat got up & took the glasses up to the bar area & pointed out that the glasses, were filthy & we wanted new drinks, in CLEAN glasses. 

Some time later, when our meal was almost finished, the waitress emerged with the drinks, the glasses were clean, but that was NOT Coke from a bottle, we were drinking, but Coke, or Pepsi, from a pump (Seems it's not just staff at Julia, that lie, in Luton) We caught up on gossip. I'd not realised Nat & Terry had gone to Candies for Christmas Day & then on to Nat's mum in Bath, on Boxing day. I'm now so confused, as to why Nat text me, on Christmas Eve, to say that they were driving off to the 'West Country' & to have a good Christmas, when that was a lie, they were actually driving South, to Torquay, not to the West Country?? Maybe they thought I'd be upset, if I knew they were off to Candies, for Christmas, while I was spending it, home alone, and didn't want to rub it in??

After taking ages, to get our waitress, Kelly's attention (Even impossible, when she was walking away from the table, right next to us) We finally managed to order a cappuccino for me & a Mr Whippy like ice cream, for Nat with chocolate sauce & honeycomb sprinkles, which I shared a few spoonfuls of. After another long spell, to try to get Kelly's attention, despite there being only about 4 tables, in the place occupied, we managed to get the bill, which was wrong!! She charged for two full Carvery's, not one Full & one Vegetarian, despite me having the whole 'Vegetarian Carvery' conversation with Kelly earlier, when we ordered our 'Bottled' Diet Cokes, that were pump ones!! 

While waiting for her to re-emerge, a tall man with a beard cleared the table next to us, where the old couple had been, while talking over our heads, to friends or colleagues, sat at a table, in the window. Distracting, annoying, and rude. We continued to wait for Kelly to emerge, in the almost empty, dinning area, when my friend Candie text at 2pm ish saying "Just realised I forgot to give boys your Xmas present to bring back for you, I'll pop it in the post next week x x" 

I replied thanks & that I was with Nat & had not realised they'd gone to hers for Xmas. Bored with waiting for our waitress Kelly, I went to the ladies, while Nat went in search of her, to pay. Then Nat & I, walked to Luton station & I got a train home & Nat got a taxi, to pick up his fixed car, from the garage. Once home & searching high & low, I found my debit cards wallet, with debit cards in, that had fallen behind my bedside table (Phew!!) 

I did a few chores then, fixed a small baguette with some cheese & tomato inside & washed it down with a caffeine free Diet Coke. Channel 4 had a comedy mash up, all night which was quite amusing & included 'The Million Pound Chatty Man Drop' 'Come Dine With Me Comedy Mash Up' 'Made In Chelsea Comedy Mash Up' The latter was a bit corny & shit to be honest!! Plus '8 Out Of 10 Cats, Does Deal Or No Deal' which was very funny. Then I went to bed at 1am. (Calories consumed, 911, 976cals UNDER today's target ooops too low!)

Saturday 5th January, Had an odd dream, about being in a car without a up to date tax disc, filming 'Horror Shop' Where my Brother Bill, was trying to kill me & I fought to get the knife off him & stabbed him (In the stomach I think) I seemed to then, shove a white pillowcase, in his mouth, to muffle his screams of pain & tied his hands & feet with a white sheet. Then he seemed to be bundled into a black bin bag, and some guy was going to bury him alive!! I was thinking 'Why am I allowing this? I love my brother, even though he just tried to kill me, I don't want him to die buried alive!!' Then I woke..... The subconscious is a odd thing!! 

I had a wash & washed my hair, dried my hair & did my make-up, then dressed, in my 3/4 dark grey gym leggings, plus a lemon & a peach camisole, over my lemon bra & pants, plus my white Reebok Easytone trainers. I did a bunch of chores, including some, involving me, needing to go into the attic. Then I went out did a load of shopping (Non food) then popped into my fave local cafe, J K Palmers, for a cappuccino & tuna melt jacket potato. While there I read my Sun newspaper. The front cover was about Argentinian's burning a British flag in Buenos Aires after seeing in a prior Sun Paper sold there saying 'Hands Off The Falklands' Yet other Argies agree that they should leave them alone!

Today's page 3 was, the thick as an elephants arse, model 'Lacey Banghard' Who is the helium voiced, vacant headed, moron who now resides in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house. Nice body, shame about the face, IQ, voice & personality! Uba Minging footballer 'Mario Balotelli' has been dumped, by his playboy model 'Tabby' She dumped him for singer 'Trey Songz' (About time the munter had some of his own medicine!) 

51yr Lard Bucket, 'Paul Mason' (Above) The former 'Worlds Fattest Man' was under fire, last night, for 'DEMANDING' to jump the NHS queue, for a £30,000 op to remove 8st of sagging skin. After shedding 46st (He is 24st) With the skin gone, he will be 16st, so will still need to lose more & will have more loose skin! But he has been told, he will have to remain at present weight (Or lower) until 2015 at least (2yrs) before skin surgery will be considered. Which he is not happy about, tough!!! He shouldn't have been such a greedy pig in the 1st place. The tax payer has already shelled out £1Million in tax payers money for aid, for his gluttony.

Then after a few more errands & buying a lucky dip, lottery ticket. I popped into Fitness First for a workout & did the same as previous visits but with 45mins on the bike. I got home at 7 - 7.30pm, and ordered the 3 back dresses & 3 black wigs, that Paul informed me to, for my 'Shirley Vampentine' character, which I will be reimbursed £249.03 for. 

Then I checked my Hotmail, Twitter & Facebook, before watching 'NCIS' then 'Take Me Out' on Ch4 +1, I wouldn't want any of them! The 1st guy was quite sweet, but was on stage, with a fresh, glaring, raw, hicky, on his neck. So obviously making out with someone the day before, going on a dating show (Classy!!) Then I had some cauliflower cheese for tea & watched 'Celebrity Big Brother' Only 'Rylan' & the two American freaks 'Heidi & Spencer' from 'The Hills' have being entertaining so far! Toady shouldn't of taken up the task, after the Yanks refused to, as it would be interesting to of seen, what the BB team would of done, after spending ages setting up that BB task piping, only for nobody to use it!! 

Then I watched two films 'Inglorious Barsterds' & 'Hard Eight' before retiring to bed. The 1st a great, amusing, film, but what a bloody awful, boring, film 'Hard Eight' was!! I shouldn't have bothered!!! I should of realised, when I discovered, it starred, that uba dullard, Gwyneth Paltrow, YAWN!! (Calories consumed 1,317 minus 515cals burnt in the gym = 802cals, Good)

Sunday 6th January, I know I dreamt & it was a long complex dream, but I can recall nothing on waking!! Today should be named 'Noisy Sunday' As since 9am, there has been, loud hammering next door, on the thin, partition wall, between my flat & next doors, as they have their new bathroom fitted & someone using a circular saw, in my courtyard, plus loud music & talking in the hairdressers downstairs...... No chance of a lie in, if I wanted one!! Today is 'The 12th day of Christmas' when the decorations are coming down. I had a wash, a coffee & a mint KitKat, then got changed into jeans & jumper, then I started preparations for the decorations etc to go in the attic. 

My Dyson hoover, really is on it's last legs & despite the claims of 'No Loss Of Suction' (It has) I need to get a new one!! After a bit of decorations preping, I had a Diet Coke break, while I watched 'Burn Notice' and then I checked my Hotmail, Facebook & then Twitter. As I opened my Twitter, on my live feed, it popped up, that a local football team, who Rob plays for, Cassiobury Revolution FC, have won 5-0 today. Well done them, they must be truly elated, great score!! It's a horrible, grey, miserable, rainy, day, out today, unlike the bright, but crisp, day, yesterday. I hate grey days, they always feel depressing.

I popped to the shop for my Sun paper & a few bits, I wonder if my 'Shirley Vampentine' clobber arrives tomorrow, or Tuesday?? The Apple & Cinnamon, fragrance sticks, I got for Christmas, from my nephew, Andrew, have run out of scent. To be honest, they only ever smelt, for a very short while, when you 1st turned the sticks over, each time. You were not aware of any aroma from them, when you walked into the bedroom. Unlike Candies one's, that she use to have, in her bathroom, when she lived in Muswell Hill, which hit you, with their fragrance, every time, you entered the bathroom! I will have to ask her, where she got them!!? They were amazing, I think possibly 'The White Company' 

I will try putting my dry, scent absorbed, sticks, on my radiator, maybe the heat, will emit a last bit of scent out of them (Tried did bugger all!!) Took off all the decorations & re boxed them, then re boxed the two (Not one!!) trees. Then I stopped for a low cal egg & 'fakon' roll, with a Diet Coke & peanut butter KitKat to follow. It's the start of the new 'Dancing On Ice' tonight, which I watched after I put my decorations in my loft. Other than Gareth & Pamela Anderson, I'm not that excited about the contestants, and I just can't find it in me, to like the boxer, or the bloke from Eastenders, with the pensioner mouth. They are supposed to be the hottie's, I think? (But not for me!!) 

I didn't bother, watching the skate off, but Twitter feed was very shocked, when the biggest celeb in the show, Pamela was voted out. I watched the bonkers 'The Hotel' since my best friend Candie, moved back home to Torquay, she has been amusing herself, by having the odd (Very Odd) lunch & high tea in 'The Grosvenor' with wacky manager Mark & his mum! 

Maggie Thatcher Above & Meryl Streep Playing Maggie Below 

Then I watched Big Brother, with a mug of Beetroot & Horseradish soup, followed by the film 'The Iron Lady' on Ch4 +1, because I bloody LOVED Margaret Thatcher (Yeah!!... Deal with it!!) I wish they had focussed, on how awesome she was, in her prime, rather than focusing more, on her present dementia!! Going to bed around midnight with a decaf coffee (Calories consumed 1,094, 236cals UNDER my daily target, Good!!)
