oooooooooooooooooh all excited - think I should name change in honour

JuneBugJr · 14/09/2010 22:34

FnD - Dont worry about the books being out of stock, Tesco will probably get them in by the truckload.

Am now worried about my preordered Jilly, as it may come a few hours later than I want, so I am now going to ring up bookstores and see what time they are getting it in. I will report back [sad no life Jilly obsessed emoticon]. I am liking the name! I loved Fen, the crash dieting, the Billy issues, friendship with Rupert, blah blah. Jilly creates some brilliant characters.

mmmperuna Nope Im not Juneybean, but I think another name change maybe in order to honour the new book, am thinking 'JillyCoopersOtter' or something rude about RCB's member Grin

MrsDrOwenHunt Yep, according to Amazons video links of Jilly, it has a number of the old favourites, their grown up children, and also new characters

MrsDrOwenHunt · 14/09/2010 19:09

oooh is there any of the regulars in it?

nannynobnobs · 14/09/2010 19:09

I will be buying a copy :D I have missed a good romp!!

Horse racing, and the horsey ones are by far the best imho.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 14/09/2010 19:05

suzikettles · 14/09/2010 19:04

Am v impressed by your dedication and commitment June - dreaming about having the book already is true obsession. I have decided my name stands for Fen and Dino and so am joyous as an otter! Although am now also worried that I havn't pre-ordered and all shops will be sold out by 9am Thursday.

Have even made plans for the Jillyathon on Thursday. Childcare arranged with local creche in morning, DP has afternoon off work with strict instructions Im not to be disturbed, and readymeals from marks Blush. I would have got some wine in too, but just found out Im pregnant, so will be stuffing chocolate instead.

I know its sad, but am nearly sick with excitement!

warthog · 14/09/2010 14:20

oh gosh - i can't wait!!! i'll be useless for a couple of days once it's in my grubby little hands!

JuneBugJr · 14/09/2010 14:18

Another one here that has been counting down the days to the new Jilly. I even dreamt I had got my hands on it last night, and woke up gutted I have to wait until Thursday.

Have mine preordered too.

PaulineCampbellJones · 14/09/2010 11:18
