Oh yes we don't want anyone else getting into trouble over supposed orgies Confused
Team meeting or staff meeting is much better Grin

Well, dp has a lot of team meetings. No wonder he comes back home shattered.

orphan · 28/01/2015 16:31

The thing is I don't think we were talking about an orgy previously; weren't we in true Brit fashion, just going to form a very orderly queue for RL Chris?! Grin

icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 16:37

And the eternal queue for CJ Grin

icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 16:38

Just noticed ^ it's nearly time for vol 11!

I thought Richtea and I with the small icebergs were going to jump the queue?

Richtea19 · 28/01/2015 16:44

Oooh, I like the idea of a "staff meeting" a new code! Maybe the author is a lurker, but your right orphan no Nicholas Witchell, poor man being left out!

I really do think DH has learnt a valuable lesson in reading stuff not in context, (orgy, orderly queue). So please don't certificate because of that. He is actually being rather lovely to me and apologetic.

Ha, ha ilove there has to be bonus for small icebergs and if that means jumping a queue, that will do for me Grin

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2015 16:47

From the comments onlygirl has made, I reckon RL Chris would be up for a staff meeting! And maybe even a team meeting!

Richtea we need to flip a coin to see who goes first - me or you!!

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2015 16:50

Well, off now to wait for my visitors on their way back from Scotland so when I come back, I guess we will be on No XI.

orphan · 28/01/2015 16:54

OK, I suppose I don't mind if you two jump the queue (this is the CJ queue I assume?) bearing in mind that since I have the dubious pleasure of having the full iceberg, I will presumably need far longer to be measured.

Am glad richtea that your dh is making it up to you. Maybe he'd even be willing to wear the CJ suit ( and inflate to the Max) Wink

Onlygirljen · 28/01/2015 16:55

Can I skip the queue with my small icebergs too? I certainly won't be in the RL Chris queue, so feel I should get some extra CJ time Grin

I'm assuming I shouldn't read life after afghan while I'm on the train?! If staff meetings and team meetings are what I'm assuming they are, I have no doubt he would be like a small child at Christmas.

orphan · 28/01/2015 17:09

Starting to wonder what dp does when he's carrying out an individual performance appraisal??

icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 17:11

Life After Afghan- its Kinders next then Dangleberries Grin

OP posts:
Ilovelblue · 28/01/2015 17:15

Yes onlygirl you get special dispensation since you have introduced us to RL Chris in the first place. You are behind me and Richtea!!!

icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 17:16

Could be going into dangerous territory with 'staff meetings' and 1-1 appraisals....

5yo in a strop with lego- he's just thrown his plastic chair over (I laughed and got shouted at) best go and cook tea- he's grumpy when he needs food. And now I have 18mo pushing his chair over- Is is nearly bedtime??

Have done new thread

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/2294242-Our-Girl-and-Captain-James-Discussion-Thread-Volume-XI

Can't believe we're on VOL XI Grin

Onlygirljen · 28/01/2015 17:19

ilove whereabouts in Scotland are your friends? It's snowy as hell up here now, although it may just be west coast, as that's where I am.

Finally, a benefit to two of the most annoying problems in my life; my small icebergs, and being friends with RL Chris Grin

icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 17:52

Oh new chapters from jen and new story from lola Smile

OP posts:
orphan · 28/01/2015 18:01

onlygirl I say it every time (or think it anyway) but you are such a good writer. And, wow, didn't expect the ending of this update!

icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 18:03

Excellent as usual jen

OP posts:
Richtea19 · 28/01/2015 18:12

onlygirl this is such a fantastic story. I didn't expect that ending! You have such an incrediable way of drawing us in to your story and we never know what direction you are going to take us. Just brilliant and I'm already wanting the next chapter! More flights to London please!!!!

lola your new FF is great too. Such a clever idea. I can actually picture that interview on the pages of "Hello" magazine in the big Bath house with a scary staircase.

icemist I just know that whatever ideas you have for FF will be brilliant.

I keep saying it, well we all do. But what a fantastic bunch of talented writers we have here.

LolaKent14 · 28/01/2015 18:21

Thanx everyone.
I am never sure if my stuff will read okay so delighted that people read it and liked it.
I saw a painting of a stag in a suit walking past a gallery window today. I really wanted to take a photo after your stag talk. But they were watching me I obviously looked shifty... lol

icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 18:39

I really enjoyed it lola was a refreshing change from the usual re-telling. Some supposed authors could learn a lot from everyone who writes on here

OP posts:
icemistOBE · 28/01/2015 18:40

And so we have come to the end of volume X
See you all on number XI
