to be bored with myself and to want to become a Jilly Cooper character for the winter?

[BalloonSlayer]

I want to sit in front of a fire of apple logs, wearing only a Dark Blue towel.

I want a rosy-cheeked face which I have to tone down with green foundation, instead of looking like a corpse unless I put on loads of blusher.

I want to drink three quarters of a bottle of Moet before doing ANYTHING. (Including: getting up in the morning or taking an important exam.)

I want an Absolutely Filthy Mini instead of a people carrier.

I want DH to do thumb exercises so that the ball of his thumb becomes pudgy because apparently that's sexy or something .

I want to lose loads and loads of weight every time I am a bit sad about something, so that everyone who thought I was a minger before is suddenly struck by my beauty, instead of eating cakes to cheer myself up and getting fatter.

AIBU?

Red! So dangerous. There were a few attempts at the RCB mk 2 but none were as good as the original.

(All my JCs are in storage following a move abroad. AIBU to order the whole lot from Amazon as an early Christmas present to myself, along with a bottle of Fracas and another of Moet?)

Ohh RCB is on our thread

I gave all my JC books away to Oxfam when we moved house 5 yrs ago

am current in very slow process of buying the all back

I know I'm pissed coz i miss the ends of words.

(got stuck into gin v.early this evening)

The bit when Sailor dies always makes me cry. It was the missel-thrush, I chased it away but it still came back. They were both mocked and laughed at but they conquered the world [sob]

I've skipped to the end of this thread but for anyone who's after the girls' name books don't buy the new reissued editions as they've been updated to make them less 70s ! Can't think of specifics but it was wrong wrong wrong.

I had all the ones with JC on the covers, including Octavia.

Also - did anyone else get Rivals in hardback? Cos she changed the characters names in the paperback which resulted in me having huge row with my boss one time - in my HB Bas and Tony's surname is Bullingham not Baddingham and the TV channel is called - fuck it, I can't remember but not Corinium. Anyone know why she changed it??

Definitely seconding JC for a webchat.

How did I miss this thread???

Rupert - come back [won't let the fact that he's after my daughter stop me]

Oh my! I'm feeling quite frisky!

It's been a long time since I read them, but I always had a thing for RCB!

Pigletmania I agree, do you remember 'Laysander, Laysander, I am flaying from your flagpole'?

And the bit where RCB encounters Helen's fanjo deodorant and washes her off under a cold shower - or something like that!

I have never read a Jilly Cooper book, now I will be headed to the library this week to get my first one.

Dons dark glasses and wig.

I found the same thing! The station was called Cotswold. Twas very confusing for me when i read them first time.

Also, i just realised that i drive an old dinosaur of a car that resembles the inside of a dustbin
