Oh you beat me to the post ice!

Richtea19 · 07/04/2015 07:45

Morning all, a beautiful crisp, frosty and sunny morning here in Kent. My window cleaning skills from yesterday look terrible this morning, whys that?!

Welcome dance so good that you have delurked. Your FF is really good, and like so many others have said, we are are all so grateful that you share these stories with us.

I only managed to read the first chapter of Treading the Boards before it was taken down, so I don't know about the flat reference. But I do hope that LowSlung will delurk? And join us and perhaps write some more ff.

I wonder how jen is getting on. I do hope she is trying out some more chair positions. My swivel chair at work has had to go into maintenance for a service (too much acitivity when CJ was on his tour with me).

ice thank you for the morning pics, lip biting!!! I don't think I thank you enough for your morning duty! THANK YOU x

KeziaOAP · 07/04/2015 08:10

Morning all.

Welcome dance enjoying your story very much. Toffeecrisp is Rhubarb.
So much talent from the ladies/gent (spo) of this thread

Read chapter 3 of the new ff before it was taken down, it was well written but too close to fact to be a fanfic story.

KeziaOAP · 07/04/2015 08:17

Onlygirljen is jenmc.

LolaKent14 · 07/04/2015 08:33

Well RL kept me busy over Easter break but have just caught up on thread. I managed to read 'Treading the Boards' and found it uncomfortable reading although I do like the authors pen name!

Can I just add my name into the mix for a CJ visit I have some light bulbs to change and need someone with long legs to reach the high ceilings.....

Lovely updates not managed to review on FF as was reading on iPhone my eyes are getting bad reading on tiny screen!!

Onlygirljen · 07/04/2015 08:36

Morning ladies! CJ is making me breakfast in bed, but sends his love to you all. Surprised he has any left after last night tbh...Shock

Welcome dance Smile - glad you delurked!

Day off today, straight choice between housework or CJ. Think I know who's winning (me! Grin)

On another note, have any of the other ff writers noticed that it's a very effective diet? Between this thread, trying to write ff and keep RL going, I have way less time to stuff my face. Have lost nearly a stone since December Smile.

Onlygirljen · 07/04/2015 08:43

Oh, one more thing. If the author of treading the boards is on here, I think they should definitely consider republishing the story - all it would take is some changing of a few details to remove the RL discomfort element. It was fundamentally a well written story and a good idea. If you are out there then don't be scared off!

orphan · 07/04/2015 09:24

Morning. Going out for the day with dp and dragging dd with us. Ds is supposed to be revising...

Sadly, Dance, I am only a poster on here and not a ff writer. I'm a very enthusiastic reader of the stories though!

ice gorgeous pics as always. I love the way the background of the middle one really makes his face stand out. Yum.Easter Grin

Had a very odd mixed up dream last night. I can't remember it properly but the son Walter Jnr from Breaking Bad was in it and CJ appeared at some point. It was all muddled though and had a rather ominous feeling to it. No swivelling, QS or cream teas. All in all, a disappointment.

orphan · 07/04/2015 09:45

spo genius chapter again. Just love Beck and can picture him in a saucy little sailor number.

Ilovelblue · 07/04/2015 12:32

Lola after pixie's 40th birthday bash, CJ is down to visit Nickel so I am guessing we may be talking early May. As he's with Jen as we speak, he has to come back to the north west for Painted's attention, then I am whisking him off to Amsterdam for a few days. After that, he's back to mummyreeds and then going to see pixie. Think he might need a few days of R&R and total solitude after that for a little while to recharge his batteries....

BK28 · 07/04/2015 13:08

Just back from R/L 5 days at Revolution Scout Camp , bit like being in a FOB, where I was able to brush up on some mission specific specialist close protection skills which could be be needed in times of aiding CJ to make a quick escape! Rage buggies,rifle shooting, sea kayaking , single seater hovercrafts, but no wifi!!

Arrived back with the lurgy,loads of washing to do but have found great excuse to ignore it as there is a need to catch up with all the ff updates and the goings on on here!!!!

Have had to wait so thanks for all the brilliant updates from rhub nipper whajeb and dance (welcome from another non creative ff reader)....that lot has kept me going since getting back!

jen it was lovely to see you back with a new chapter! Please don't beat yourself up about your writing, you have a wonderful style that allows your readers to connect emotionally to the characters!

Must agree with earlier comments on Treading the boards bit too near to real life, almost voyeuristic!! But was really well written, with some tweaking could be relaunched.

ilove don't worry if CJ is a little late in arriving between venues I like to ensure he has had some recharge time prior to delivery!! I know you only ALL want him in tip top condition on arrival!!!

Nickel45 · 07/04/2015 14:20

Did you stay focused, alert and ... not too muddy and exhausted, BK? I've been practising my knotting skills for when CJ comes in a few weeks our camp, apparently we are making rafts ... I won't be getting on one! And there is something called a Leap of Faith - luckily I am in charge of the cooking, and there is bound to be a need to be preparing lunch/breakfast/dinner/something else very important at that particular time, so unfortunately I won't be doing that activity!!

I am way behind on ff, due to the stupid hours I have been working, but am hoping to get it all finished today, and will relax and enjoy the ff after the kids have gone to bed tonight :)

Lovely pictures this morning ice, just staring at the first one every so often (lucky my computer faces a wall, so can't be seen unless people walk behind me!). Thank you Easter Smile

pixieg1rl · 07/04/2015 16:49

Gah rhubarb!

Rhubarb01 · 07/04/2015 16:57

The course of true love....and all that ha! ha! pixie

Not much longer now, that's all I can promise.

KeziaOAP · 07/04/2015 17:01

rhubarb another brilliant chapter [hmm.]

KeziaOAP · 07/04/2015 17:03

You can spin it out as long as you like Grin.

Ilovelblue · 07/04/2015 17:10

I'm going to save Rhubarb's latest till I get home but not sure if I want to read it - is there more angst to come? I really, really, really want them to get together!

Onlygirljen · 07/04/2015 17:30

rhubarb!! You can't leave it there!

Pleased to see that CJ is still in the habit of fixing an early evening gin for his hostess. And boy is it a stiff one and the g&t isn't bad eitherGrinGrin

Onlygirljen · 07/04/2015 17:35

Took the kids to an adventure playground today - CJ seemed to get on much better in the outdoor surroundings than with the indoor soft play. Look what they were selling in the gift shop..

nickel was totally focused and alert (was the minibus driver) But got totally muddy and exhausted (my knees certainly took a battering) as was camping with explorers and network ...bopping to the early hours of each of the five nights ...heard music I didn't even know existed!!! There was certainly a lot of innuendo being bandied around could have quite easily fitted in on here!!!!
I know what you mean volunteered to do some shopping when sea kayaking was mentioned, although was disappointed that zorbing got cancelled... That was on my bucket list!!!

After rhubs perfect description of Molly and rafting I'd be with you on the bank as well!!

icemistOBE · 07/04/2015 17:59

Did you buy one jen?

Just finished work. Long day!!!

pixieg1rl · 07/04/2015 18:07

I saw those in Sainsbury's at the weekend jen

icemistOBE · 07/04/2015 20:13

Another great chapter rhubarb you do like to leave us hanging!

What a lovely day today, think tomorrow is to be good too.

Ilovelblue · 07/04/2015 21:59

Rhubarb I have every confidence in you that CJ and Molly will get together. The anticipation is almost too much! You have us all in suspense.

Jen have you and CJ worked your way through the manual yet? Does BK know when to come and collect him to take him to Painted? I hope she can deliver him back to me (or at least drop him at Manchester airport) ready for the flight to Amsterdam next Wednesday morning.

Great weather today - wish it had been more like this over Easter!

Mumtothenipper · 07/04/2015 22:07

Hello all,
Loving all the ff updates, rhubarb poor Molly and CJ, their heads must be spinning! jen glad you're back, loved the hallway scene! had me in stitches! Nice to meet you dance. Loving your story, great plot line, can't wait to see what comes next!
pixie and jen I have that notebook... Bought in Sainsbury's earlier in the year as a welcome to the thread present to myself!

I seem to have missed most the drama with lowslungcombats as I've been lost for a few days in the world of a brilliant p&p ff... Over 1300 followers and thousands of reviews! Completed at 52 chapters, I couldn't step away from it, just brilliant! Save and Protect if anyone is interested. She has also started a sequel which Is equally great... Although it means I've not really been thinking about LTR... Need to get writing and stop reading!
