Excellent ilove did you sit in the Molly or CJ seat?

Yay!!! Did you have CJs seat?

YES!!! Wicked!!! So, so pleased ilove.
Shame I couldn't arrange CJ to turn up too (need more than an extra special super duper magic wand for that no doubt!), but ....... :) :) :)

Hi all, been trapped under a very germy 2 year old in bed for most of the evening . Thanks for the lovely comments, glad you liked the update.

ilove I'm so excited you got the table!!. Good work nickel! Can't wait to see pics!

My two days of drinking are catching up with me now, seriously need to hit my pit...

ilove lucky you!!!! And yes nickel Lady Luck is on our side with FF! Which reminded me of the chocolates I bought yesterday when we were up in London.... They are for the boys for Easter, but I just couldn't resist!

The restaurant was in 2 parts so as soon as they showed us through to the OG bit, I worked out which was CJ's seat. The area was quite narrow but we matched up the photo to our table very easily.

Our room is in one of the annexes. Must be the cheap package quarters.

Will go to bed very happy tonight. Just hope I can dream of CJ!

Sorry forgot to say but nobody in the hotel mentioned the table to us. They were very discreet. Must try to find out gossip on the filming tomorrow!

ilove sooo pleased you got the table! Talk about living vicariously, I feel as if I've sat there! (Did you hold up the photo of CJ and pretend he was there?)

onlygirl wonderful update as per usual. Poor, poor Charles. He's going to be gutted when he wakes to find Molly's crept out. I don't understand the 'too dark' comments. Life isn't all fluffiness and you've promised a happy ending anyway!

painted your update made me laugh. I'm hoping they'll move onto the desk position that was in onlygirls handbook...!

orphan i'd forgotten about the book, painted, maybe we could have a few more chapters just for us? Hee hee (only joking!).

ilove glad they didn't mention a mad woman ringing them to ask about the table!! . They were very professional! Hope you can get some goss out of the tomorrow. So exciting! Wishing you CJ dreams!

whajeb great chapter. You write their relationship and banter so well. Is the cat going to be let out of the bag in the next update, I wonder. (And yes, CJ is the perfect accompaniment to a Chinese take away)

I think my favourite comment on jen's story is the one where someone says 'you are okay'.

Right, now I've had a massive binge read of your update rhubarb I need to say a massive thank you for writing such an excellent story. You write so well, lovely clear descriptions that aren't overly long, but set the scene so perfectly. A really fantastic story that is so different from all the other fics, and is really in another class.

Thank you so much. And please, do share anything else you write, OG or not.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. You are always so kind and supportive to me and to all the other writers on here and I'm sure they'd all agree that it's really appreciated and great encouragement especially when you're not exactly in love with the story or having doubts, so sincere thanks.

Why do weekends go so quickly!! Work all day today so unlikely to be able to dip in or post, but ilove I can't wait to see pics and more detail!!!
Have a good day one and all .

It's bloody well tipping it down again so going to be a wet day in Bath. My friend is going shopping and I am meeting my godson, wife and 9 wk old baby at lunchtime. He's the same age as CJ by the way.

My friend was NOT impressed with my CJ alarm ringtone at 7am. Ooops forgot to turn it off.

Morning

No school here today - so promised I'd take boys to McDonalds as they were both really good over weekend. Hubby has her his wrist tripping over something. Think it's just a bad sprain, but it is swollen and very painful. Think he needs as a minimum to visit walk in centre but he probably won't!

I must have read to much ff yesterday (amazing updates by the way, thoroughly enjoyed them all) as I woke up in the night thinking of CJ and for a moment thought it was all real.
Klipdoctors new story has reminded me I never posted our 'day Bashira was taken away' we only need Smurfs p.o.v. I'll post the link to them on FF later. Shall we try and write Smurfs together? I imagine is to be quite angry

Oops ilove which one do you use?

Bee trying to think of a suitable award to bestow on fairy godmother Nickel. Order of the Wand maybe? Any better ideas?

icemist it's the 'Have some human decency and put some bloody effort in' but he does sound a bit like a parrot!

My friend doesn't know how much time I spend on here. Fortunately she's spending a long time in the bath!

Order of the Magic Wand ???

Aw, I was just doing my job!!! :)
Have a lovely day ilove, hope it stops raining. We are back at school today, need to leave at 8.30, seems a week off and the kids aren't bothered about going back! Gotta dash and and do some CJ yelling!!!

Morning. Everyone off back to school ok, even vaguely enthusiastic. I've started a countdown to our holiday though on my phone!

Love that pic 3 icemist. A good ff idea would be one where CJ comes to life and steps out of the dvd and into a fan's home...

ilove I think your friend should be grateful it's only the alarm she's had to put up with - she could have been forced to wear a mask/combats/CJ suit/recite lines from the restaurant scene! Have a great day.

Ooh yes it could be like the a-ha video for Take On Me she goes into the magazine
Wish I had some creativity

Mentally writing the report for you all. Plenty of time to think about it. Just about to leave - very big sigh - and hopefully question the staff about the filming. Will check in again tonight from the Cotswolds if wifi etc available.

I like Order of the Magic Wand by the way. I will add it to our CJ Collective Handbook.

Orphan I love that idea. It could be so funny, with CJ causing trouble all over the place for the poor fan telling her to "put some bloody effort in" at inopportune moments and approaching all aspects of her life from a military perspective using lots of his cliches. I think it would definitely have to be humourous (sp? It looks wrong) to get away with it. Would the reading public get it though?

Anyone remember 'Lost in Austen' where the girl and Elizabeth Bennet change places with all its funny consequences.

Perhaps its an idea for the CJ Collective?
