My personal Diary to you. Friday, 28th April 2006.

Hello Rob,My name is Layla. I have been a fan of yours since you did the shows at Knebworth. I wasn't there just watched on the tv but what an amazing experience. I can't guess how you must have felt, Yes nervous would have been the word to use with a few swear words added. How the hell you got on stage in front of that many people I will never know. If I had been you I would have gone home! I bet you wanted to as well.

Here I am typing to you, having read so much about you I feel that I personally know you, Don't worry I am not a mad stalker. Let me tell you a little bit about myself, as I have said my name is Layla, I am 30 years old. I work as a Care Assistant in a retirement home for the elderly. I have worked with the elderly for the last 14 years. I love my job and wouldn't change what I do.
Sitting here telling you about my job reminds me of what you said on Nobody Someday DVD about the press and how they hound you 24/ 7. What the F*** have they put back. I was cheering at that point and clapping. You are so right they are a bunch of useless To*s**s. Talking about places that need funding,

I want to say a personal Thankyou to you with a million :hug: I read in Nobody someday that you gave a LOT of money to Great Ormond Street Hospital. I cried when I read that. GOSH is very close to my heart. When I was born I had cataracts on both eyes and was nearlly blind. GOSH saved my eye sight. If it wasn't for them I would be blind today. I wouldn't have had a career. Never in my life will I have that amount of money. So what you gave means so very very much to me. Hopefully that money will have saved lives and other peoples eye sight too.

There will be a lot of entries in my Personal Diary to you. If you ever read this I will never know, but just typing what I feel to you in a online account just makes me happy to think someday you may read this. My entries could be anything to you, such as just hoping that you have a nice day, to a Good Luck for a concert that you are doing.

With love and best wishes and :hug: . Layla xx

Hello Rob, I hope you are ok. I hope your groin injury isn't too painful for you.
I am looking forward to seeing you play football. You will have the best team on the field. I haven't seen you play much football so I am really looking forward to this. What did you think about Wayne Rooney's injury? I was watching the game on tv and I Was Crying when he got carried off the pitch. Not just bad for Man United now that we don't have him as a player but for the World cup as well. I just hope he is better and can play. But with it being only 6 weeks until the first game and the press people saying 6 weeks to heel for his injury. Maybe he is in doubt, but I think he will be ok. But what do the perss know they are just guessing to make us all think that he won't play. I am sure he will be ok.

I think you are very brave to have acupunture in your groin, what a painful place to have needles stuck. Ouch. Talking of needles I think you are so brave having all those tattoos done. I would love to have a tattoo but I have a big fear of needles. I always have had. Even if I have to have an injection at the Dr's I need someone to be in the room with me. Years ago when I left school I wanted to train as a nurse but the thought of having to deal with needles put me off. Also I don't like blood so those 2 things stopped me from being a qualified Nurse.

Have you seen the Lee Evens XL tour 2005 DVD? I watched it last night it is so funny. I think you would like it. There is a bit in there that Lee says about you. He isn't poking fun at you but at himself it is really a great DVD. I will end this account here for now as I have to have some lunch before I go to work. Bye for now, Best Wishes Love Layla. xx

Dear Rob, This morning at 7.45am the assistant manager at work phoned me to come in and do a shift, I didn't even bother phoning work back I was so angery that they called me 15 minutes before we start work at 8am. It is my day off. I was wondering do you ever have staff problems? Where I work they are just taking the Piss now. I am sick of it. The same carers get called in to do the work and unless we start saying no, we are not coming to work then they will never get any new staff. They are too tight to pay for new staff although we have 2 new Care Assistants we need more then 2. They will need another Carer next thursday morning as I have booked to go on a coach trip for the day. So they will need someone else then. What annoys me is that the managers never come out that office and help. I know they have worked there way up through the Care industry but when we need help they cant even come out the office for a few minutes and help. I can't say what as it is confindential but we had a situation the other day and I had top go into the office and get the managers to help me. I am sure you are not like this with your staff. Can I have you as a manager instead. You would help me. I know you would. Best wishes and thanks for reading this. Love Layla. xx

Congratulations on the Win at Soccer Aid. I was so so proud of you, Jonny scored an amazing goal. I knew you would win. I had a dream the night before SA, that Jonny scored the one and only winning goal of the game.
So my dream sort of came true. I wanted to give you so many hugs and XXXXX when you won, You done amazingly well. Love Always, Layla.
