Janet and Roy 2015

Hi - shall we do this again this year? For those not in the know, we send a round robin style letter to another mumsnetter from 'Janet and Roy' - updates on their bridge contests, bunions, little Petal's escapades with the local cats and so on. The more detailed yet dreary, the better Grin.

If anyone would like one with a USA postmark, PM me. I'd also love someone to send one to my DM!

Would be happy to happy, pm the details over

AwfulCuntForTheButter · 24/11/2015 06:34

I'm in! Wiltshire/Avon area here please, my mum could do with a laugh!

I'm in Cambridgeshire myself, so if anyone wants one sending from this neck of the woods, my pen is poised Grin

I don't have anyone to send one to, but am happy to forward one from the Bristol area. Would I be right in thinking that the mnetter who wants it sent to their friend/relative writes the letter, sends it to me, then I forward it on?

I love the idea, and am a bit sad that I can't think of anyone to send one to myself. Having said that, if anyone is pushed for time but wants to send one I could write a letter, if I were given details to drop in to make it sound legit...

Error404usernamenotfound · 24/11/2015 21:12

Did I kill the thread? Blush

ThomasRichard · 24/11/2015 21:30

Everyone's busy composing Wink

Makemineacabsauv · 24/11/2015 22:57

Yes please! Did it last year with hilarious results! I'm in west coast Scotland - my recipient is my friend in London. Would need a tweak or two for her.

ThomasRichard · 25/11/2015 08:51

What happened Makemince?

Makemineacabsauv · 25/11/2015 22:31

Oh my sil got I a tizzy and was being all adamant about not putting weirdos up! She thought she 'do met them while drink in a camping trip and was raging about not remembering then and then them inviting themselves! My Db guessed it had something to do with me but kept her going!

Makemineacabsauv · 25/11/2015 22:31

Scuse typos, on my phone and tired x

Favouritethings · 26/11/2015 07:24

I'm happy to send one from Bedfordshire. Please could someone send one to my m/fil? Someone whose happy for them to say they're passing by on the 27th and will call in to see them for an hour or so Grin

DeliveredByKiki · 26/11/2015 07:37

Does the MNetter writing let in on the joke or the MNetter known to the recipient?

I'd love to send (from California if that's useful?) and to revive for my brother in London

liquidrevolution · 26/11/2015 09:47

I am in west berks. Very much in 'middleton country' if so have a snobby royal fan you wish to send to I can happily chuck in a few anecdotes. My Janet and Roy loved flamenco last year but are very versatile. They have their own caravan so can pay long visits...

TiffanyAtBreakfast · 26/11/2015 10:50

I want to get involved this year! Count me in! I'm in Berkshire too, but near Windsor Castle.

I would quite like one for my parents and for PIL so I'm happy to write more than one for other people!

hopelesslydevotedtoGu · 26/11/2015 11:39

Am in London, will happily write one for somebody.

Can anyone send one from Surrey or surrounding counties for me?

hopelesslydevotedtoGu · 26/11/2015 11:42

optimist could you send one for me from Surrey? I'm in London if that is any good for you.

Raxacoricofallapatorius · 26/11/2015 11:55

I'm in Norfolk and happy to write one.

FinallyHere · 26/11/2015 12:09

Hi, great idea, I love it.

DH has been threatening promising to do some spoofs for years, without them ever actually appearing. I would love to have him sent a spoof, as a gentle reminder. Would be happy to reciprocate, or send one wherever from home (Windsor villages rather than Castle) . Most weeks, I drive up to the Cambridge/Northants border, so could post there too.

Pedestriana · 26/11/2015 12:16

Happy to write some, would be a SE England postmark. I know we've probably all had name changes over the recent few months but someone called AndHarry wrote a brilliant one for me last year which confused the hell out of the recipient. Be great to repeat that! :)

FruVikingessOla · 29/11/2015 17:48

Bumping for someone who wants to join in!

GabiSolis · 29/11/2015 18:08

I'm happy to write from Herts or can also post from London quite close to Christmas!

Janet and Roy are awesome!

angryangryyoungwoman · 29/11/2015 19:03

Could someone please write one on my behalf? I'm going to be really cheeky and hope that there is someone who doesn't want one in return as I am studying at the moment and don't need any extra workload however I promise to return the favour next year?! I would love one from Scotland, Norfolk, or Northumberland if possible. Thanks in advance!

angryangryyoungwoman · 29/11/2015 19:04

Just to add, the 3 area suggestions are only that and if anyone in another area could help, I would appreciate that too!
