Jo's Send Off

On Friday it was Jo's funeral, I wish I could have gone but it was a long way and I couldn't have gone on my own. I said a prayer for her at 11am which was the time of the service. Her friends on the CF forum (including me) put our money together to help give her a good send off. Jo loved cake (she ate a whole Victoria sponge every day to put weight on) and she loved Betty Boop, so here is what we sent her..... She would have loved it! We also sent her some flowers. I really miss her and still can't believe she is not here anymore, it's going to take some getting used toIn other news I have been busy... getting filmed! I'm not going to say anything else as it's not getting aired until Easter time, but watch this space!

Today we have been to look at five bungalows, yes five bungalows! We have seen one we LOVE! So watch this space too!

I'm starting to feel better I think, still getting tired easily and chest is still getting pains but it is starting to feel less tight. I don't think I have lost anymore weight but not put any on either, just keeping it steady now. I keep feeling lightheaded and like I can't see properly which is strange, I think it must be the voriconazole as it can cause visual disturbances. It feels like I'm in a daydream and not in my body, not good at times! I've been to the gym twice this week and walked Alfie so at least I am getting back to the exercising, it always goes on halt when I'm on my IV's as I never have the energy to go.

I am currently watching X Factor, so far I have voted three times for Olly. I knew he'd be in the final! Olly to win!!!! This is the first time I have watched the x-factor final in years, every year I'm always out! Yet another sign I'm getting old....!

Love them or Hate them?

You know who I am talking about, two Irish twins with the big quiffs..... John and Edward aka Jedward from the X-Factor! Here I was, thinking X Factor was going to be boring this year...!

I had to post a blog on them because I think the whole thing is hilarious. People are getting so worked up because they keep managing to stay in, claiming it's a fix, its not about talent anymore etc etc.

Well I have news for you, only one person can win X Factor and up until then I'd rather watch the Twins bouncing around on stage than some boring singer that isn't going to win anyway. If they win will I be bothered? No! I haven't been voting so how can I claim its a fix, how many people have actually voted? If they win it doesn't mean the other singers won't get a contract, look at JLS or Laura White, they both now have singles out.

I don't think they will actually win because when push comes to shove and only the really decent ones are left in the final i.e. Olly and Stacey in my opinion, then people will take it more seriously and those that haven't been voting will vote, for example I always vote in the final but never before.

As for Simon fixing it last night by taking it to deadlock, that's his prerogative. He is a judge, he has that choice and he is the one making the money from the show so wants as many people to watch as possible and it is sure working! To be honest I think they put the Twins in on purpose for this reason, an idea probably sprung into Simon's head when he watched the last series of Dancing on Ice.

Does it bother me? No not atall! In fact Pete and I were shouting at the TV for Simon to take it to the public vote as it is so funny! I admit not for Lucy however it's a TV show and not just all about talent as everyone tries to claim.

There are probably alot of things that are set up in X Factor, like the first auditions when they show the terrible people. It is decided who will go infront of the judges, not everyone does. Do you think the 'behind the scene' judges actually think these people are good? No, its for entertainment. I bet they even tell them to make it even worse and be cheeky to make it even more entertaining. Anything to get on TV right?

So my verdict on the matter is LOVE them! However I won't be voting for them anytime soon...!
