threadNneedle I love Betty's! Been in all of them. You must be a Yorkshire lady. My favourite ones are York and the one at Harlow Carr Garden.

Lovely pic of Mr Cameron Lola.

I mean of Mr Cameron's office really. He's not really in CJ's league!

Found perfect office for PM - CJ nice sturdy swivel chair....

Thread I think he wanted my avocados... I had to make a run for it.

painted really enjoying your new story :)

Liking the swivel chair, lola! I've just watched Broadchurch, it's so much better now I have your version in my head!!! Not sure i should be laughing quite as much though, just as well I watched it on my own!

Welcome nativity, I think a lot of the OG episodes are on you tube as well, might be worth having a look. Was it recommended to you, to watch it?

painted inspired idea for your new story! Would it be wrong to vote on looks rather than policy? Although I'm sure CJ would have good ones ie swivel chairs and cream teas compulsory at work.

That recipe sounds delicious cherin and no cooking - even better!

It was indeed. I have watched a bit on YouTube and have now ordered both DVDs! :)

lovingthebrit wow! Brilliant new chapter, edge of the seat stuff. Rally enjoyed it.
Hope everything is ok with you x

Morning
Woken full of a cold definitely need CJ to cheer me up today.

Hello all! Boozy girls lunch yesterday ended up lasting way longer than anticipated - finally got home just before midnight! Thankfully the drinking was spread out over many hours and combined with plenty of food, so only suffering a bit today!

Got loads of unread ff to be attended to, although might actually try and write some today.

Morning all thanks for all the lovely comments for the new story .....so many ideas now for future chapters. . Need to get to work on it x

Today is when RL and our parallel OG universe collide. Am sooooo excited.

Oops posted too soon. Is it wrong to be so excited about something not quite real? Will post again when something to report - or not - about the table, internet connection dependent of course.

Fingers crossed re the table!

Have a brilliant time ilove not wrong to be so excited at all its your experience go for it but any running commentary to keep us fellow fanatics updated most welcome above all enjoy !!x

So excited for you ilove and madly jealous. Have a fab time

Have an amazing time Ilove enjoy every minute

Have a fantastic time ilove and take lots of photos.

Busy day taking DS out to run off his cabin fever. I see rhubarb has done a massive update. I have no idea how I'm going to last the day without reading it.

My ff has hit a bit of a rocky patch. I'm really struggling with this chapter.

rhubarb, I am so completely engrossed in your story, it is wonderful. I've done nothing all mornings and now have to go to church so can't finish it. Aaaaagh! You really should think about whether you can change the names and publish it, I don't know if that's possible, but it is above and beyond briliant! I am completely hooked. Thank you so much for writing it x Now just got to work out when I can finish reading it!!

Have a good day all, ilove, hope the the magic wand worked, have fun and enjoy!!! And if you aren't at the same table, you could always sit and look over and pretend CJ is sitting there gazing at you .

ilove can't believe your weekend has come round so quickly and that we're still on this forum! Have a wonderful time. (Does your friend realise you've taking a CJ mask for her to wear whilst you're at dinner?!)

ilove have a fantastic time

icemist hope your cold clears up quickly. Lovely pics as usual. I might watch the restaurant scene today in honour of ilove's trip.

Very excited about your update rhubarb, but am trying not to start it yet as I know I won't get time to finish.

Nickel45 Thanks for the message. Glad to be back to writing. Last few weeks have been tough but starting to move forward. The lovely reviews and messages keep me going.
This thread has been busy and loving all the new ff updates. Mumsnet ff rocks. Xx

Lots of FF today to read. Enjoying them all.
Following orphans idea I have watched the restaurant scene and have a hankering now to watch all the episodes again. Just need to find the DVD...

ilove I'm So excited for you! Inknownyiunwill have an amazing time, and feel free to update us all the way!

So much FF and I'm very excited to read rhubarbs. I've planned my day and I'm going to disappear later this afternoon up stairs, close my bedroom door and have a FF reading fest!

All I've managed to do so far today is wash muddy kit and scrub running shoes of mu, but what a good idea to watch the restaurant scene in honour of iloves'visit. I can multi task and do the ironing mountain too.

icemist hope you feel better today. We all have colds, my children are constantly sniffing, and I'm constantly saying blow your bloody nose! Ahhhh.

Afternoon all. Thank you for the kind mentions. Its been a bit of a marathon week - and no unfortunately not because CJ popped in unexpectedly - go on CJwoof you know you can't resist that one!

Ilove hope you have a super time. The virtual 'Welcome to Bath' sign painted on a bed sheet is already flapping in the breeze from the bridge at the Bath junction on the A46. Unfortunately, its a bit of a cold, wet and windy old day down in the West Country so you might gonna need to make the most of those warm, luxurious surroundings today and comfort food should be on the menu definitely involving, cream, jam, chocolate and possibly something alcoholic. Enjoy it!

Top gun is on tonight :) Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer and Goose (can't remember his real name). I'll have a bit of that!!! Can't compete with a dinner at BH, but it'll have to do. ilove so excited for you!!
