Dear MNHQ

Would it be everso cheeky to ask if you get the divine Jilly Cooper on here for a webchat.

It would make a lot of us very happy.

Cheers!

Oh, that would be fab.

I will join in with Moet out of chipped mug drinking.

We will all have to name change though.

DoraBelvedon · 15/10/2010 20:28

Jilly we love youuuuu!

Why are there not any dachshunds in your books? i have one which would be an excellent character in your next book.

TrillianSlasher · 15/10/2010 20:25

Oooh, sensible questions - how well does Jilly feel her older books have stood the test of time, does she look back and cringe and think 'I can't believe I wrote that' or do they still fill her with pride?

TrillianSlasher · 15/10/2010 20:24

Are we supposed to be writing coherent sensible things here or just Jilly we love yooooooooooooou? Grin

FurCalf · 15/10/2010 19:52

think of the namechanging opportunities Shock

I love her. I would love her on here. Both times I have been pregnant I have reread Rivals in my latter stages and it's made me love it even more!

Pleassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

PerfectDromedary · 15/10/2010 13:30

It would be super.

TrillianSlasher · 15/10/2010 13:30

Somehow I feel Jilly would be sceptical at the very idea of an internet forum where women talk about children and stuff.

You just need your husband's elderly nanny to look after them, don't you?

EccentricaGhoulumbits · 15/10/2010 13:30

and i have broken my toe and need cheering up.

EccentricaGhoulumbits · 15/10/2010 13:30

OpensCryptandRises · 15/10/2010 13:27

Oooooh please! And Rupert C-B too please!!

staranise · 15/10/2010 13:23

I never realised it was the number 22! She must have been on way back to Putney from Peter Jones - very JC

thereistheball · 15/10/2010 13:15

Please can this happen? Please?

Rannaldini · 15/10/2010 12:55

I think she shaped the type of woman I became!!

I reread Rivals a month ago whilst awaiting the birth of DD3.
I so hoped exhausted dh would become RCB...

Rannaldini · 15/10/2010 12:52

I love and adore Jilly.
Do come along!!

YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer · 15/10/2010 12:52

Brilliant. Yes. Come on Jilly!

I love all her writing, not just the fiction. Well, ok, especially the fiction. I'm just in awe actually.

I am prepared to sacrifice a reasonably-loved family member (not pet) for a JC webchat.

BalloonSlayer · 15/10/2010 12:41

If she comes on I may even slosh some Moet into a chipped mug and drink it whist Mumsnetting.

BalloonSlayer · 15/10/2010 12:38

She writes them all on a manual typewriter. She can type all right. Grin
