Amazing ff, everyone has been really busy.
Thanks to SPO have to investigate the jam now.
RL CJ fanfriend has escalated the lunacy now, we are currently contemplating deliberate use of OGisms to brighten up dull colleague related gatherings( distinctly different to staff meetings)

Somebody got a CJ mug, please tell me how-want to get her one!

As I have said many times, the lunacy on here keeps me sane, final month of waiting out

icemistOBE · 03/03/2015 19:49

Can you imagine reading all the threads!!! I'd be a quivering wreck at the end. Hope BA is a quick reader should he ever lurk. (Could you imagine if he has peeked!!!)

Think jen'll be more wrung out from her visit by CJ and working her way through her very special book

icemistOBE · 03/03/2015 19:50

Vistaprint is your best bet. Mugs, calendars, mouse mats even key rings (so getting a key ring next)

nickle just read the handbook, thank you for the link. It is a thing of wonder! And, has made a lot if comments slot into place! Will be on the look out for stag pants, I think they could make a big difference to my life!

moojangles · 03/03/2015 19:55

Thanks icemist

Rhubarb01 · 03/03/2015 19:56

Evening - quite a lot to catch up on since lunchtime. Just want to echo everyone else and say everyone is welcome. So any nervous lurkers don't worry say hello.

The talk of polls made me think about our little wrestling poll/contest. I think its mentioned in the guide if anyone needs to fathom that one out.

icemistOBE · 03/03/2015 20:01

Am rather jealous of your RL OG friend moo you should have a right giggle doing that. You'll have to search for the more obscure sayings

icemistOBE · 03/03/2015 20:03

I was insanely jealous of my mums pjs at Christmas nipper stag bottoms! Dun elm Mill had stag duvet covers but when I decided I wanted one they had gone

Mumtothenipper · 03/03/2015 20:09

I'm wracking my brains to think of anything stag related in the house... I can't think of a thing!

Nickel45 · 03/03/2015 20:43

Oh nipper once you get into the stag thing you'll find them everywhere (although maybe less so since christmas is over!) and will be convincing yourself that you really, really need that stag notebook that is overpriced but that sainsburys has in stock at the moment!

pixieg1rl · 03/03/2015 20:56

On my last trip to TKMaxx I found an enormous sequinned knitted stag head, if taste is no object nipper

Mumtothenipper · 03/03/2015 21:01

Just been watching the Mary portas secret shopping program, and noticed some rather lovely stag cushions... Not sure I want to drive to Lowestoft though to get them!

WHAJEB1 · 03/03/2015 21:01

oooohhhh stag notebook in Sainsbury's - I need one of those!!

Mumtothenipper · 03/03/2015 21:10

I'm off to sainsbury's tomorrow whajeb I'll look out for them!

Nickel45 · 03/03/2015 21:15

Yep, definitely an essential!

Richtea19 · 03/03/2015 21:26

Gosh a lot has been going on since lunchtime! nickel I love. The notepad, was that the one from sainsburys?

mumtothenipper stag cushions are everywhere, although I made mine!! Sorry sounds prim! Just that I dint have the FF talent just the talent with a sewing machine and a measuring tape (soft one of course).

Am I correct in thinking the downfall of OG FB group was "Review Gate, by Klipdoctor"? Dear oh dear..... Stag vs Goats - Only Stags allowed on MN :)

Mumtothenipper · 03/03/2015 21:32

richtea I'm not sure the full reason will ever come out, the admins were clearly fed up and getting slot of messages with conflicting opinions. From my perspective it is undeniable that it all got a bit shit when reviewgate overshadowed everything else.

Onlygirljen · 03/03/2015 21:41

whajeb maybe you could use the stag notebook to write a new story hint hint Wink

Thanks nipper, latest update is nearly ready, but I've found it really difficult to write, been having a total block. Need to tidy it up a bit, but should be up at some point tomorrow.

And yes, CJs visit has just about finished me off. A little too much stimulation exercise in the space of a few days. Feeling a little bereft now that he has escaped my clutches left me

Richtea19 · 03/03/2015 21:46

It's such a shame as all this is meant to be fun! I love that its not serious and we all have the same thing in common. This MN thread is like a best friend. It doesn't matter if you haven't been on here for a while or you are on here every day... No judgement, just Sophisticated Silliness !

Mumtothenipper · 03/03/2015 21:50

Good news jen, sounds like cj has provided you with just the stimulation you've needed! Looking forward to the ping to say we have an update to read!

Couldn't agree more re whajeb using the notebook for her new story... Sounds like an excellent suggestion!!!!!

Ilovelblue · 03/03/2015 21:59

I'm a bit at sixes and sevens here ladies, sorry about this, but are you sure nobody can tell me in a few short sentences what all the OGA fuss was about. Gathered it was something to do with KD and his review scandal/throwing his toys out of his cot but what was the poll?

We're almost like United Nations ambassadors on here - great idea to have an amnesty and to welcome new members.

I can't face wading through loads of recent posts but I am sure there were a few new euphemisms I needed to add to our CJ Collective handbook. Can anyone remember what they were?

Slight change of subject, but tomorrow I am going to visit my elderly friend (the one who asked if we were "hardcore"). She is having a particularly bad time as her husband is almost on the verge of 24x7 care so the idea of me going round is to try and take her mind off things. Not sure it works all the time as she talks of the seamier side of his care a bit too much but I've decided to make her laugh tomorrow and tell her about the Bailbrook House stuff - how Nickel (who will be described as a friend, no mention of MN) bagged us the table and how I kept it all from my friend. I will report back on what her reaction is. To what extent I confess my CJ addiction I will have to play by ear. May just say it was a fantastic series!

Ilovelblue · 03/03/2015 22:05

Oh looks as if nipper has explained about the review stuff.

Nickel45 · 03/03/2015 22:12

ilove messaged you. I'm sure you will take your friends mind off things, particularly if you tell her how hard core we've become, you could mention jens book, CJs tour, cream teas ..... Hmm .... Maybe not?!!! Wink

orphan · 03/03/2015 22:16

nipper I'm sorry that you've lost OGA, but I hope we can compensate in some way. How does a visit from CJ and a private swivel sound?Wink

onlygirl what time do you think I can expect CJ? Is it an overnight train you've put him on? It's just that Rupert has finally arrived, released from cjwoof's clutches (quite traumatised actually and nearly had hysterics when he spotted my hoover) and I don't want to over exert myself before the main event so to speak.
