Well done Natalie without a h

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Nat. Was out for a while on Thursday night and actually went to bed really early last night. I've been skimming and keeping track though.

Can hardly believe a week has gone past since the party and I still haven't posted my report. RL has been so hectic this week, was on a massive come down from the party and then had two or three tense days waiting to hear news about a new job my OH went for. Things are still pretty mad but I've finally got a couple of hours to myself whilst OH is at the England/Italy game this afternoon.

Firstly and most importantly, I want to thank the party organisers for arranging the event so brilliantly. From the venue, to the food, to the programme of events, to keeping everyone informed, to the breakfast the next morning - it was seamless, professional and seemed to me anyway, to go without a hitch. You all deserve a massive pat on the back, you really do. xx

So, to the party itself, I won't go on too much as so many other people have brilliantly reported on events and you're probably all reported out by now anyway.

I'd travelled to Bristol on Saturday with my long-suffering non-JJJ friend and we arrived at about 1pm. Whilst we were in the bar with a complimentary coffee as our room wasn't ready, I caught sight of a couple of friendly faces that I knew from Twitter so I quickly went and said hello and we agreed to meet up later to go to the party. After a potter about in Bristol and a large cup of coffee in Costa's we went back to our room and I started to get ready. I was so nervous, wondering what the hell I'd got myself into and trying to imagine how the night ahead would go.

Eventually 6 pm arrived and I made my way to meet my new chums and head for the party. Once inside, there were loads of people (mainly females of course) all looking fabulous and excited. I was trying to spot some faces that I might recognise from Twitcams and photo's etc.. and I did see some familiar faces. Just wish I was better with names. Being shy, I'm not the sort to go bounding up to people and introduce myself so I apologise if I didn't say "hello" on the night. Now of course I'm kicking myself that I didn't steel myself to be more up front but time seemed to whip by and I was trying to get to know the lovely folks I'd just met on my table. They were all so friendly and welcoming. We had such a giggle and we seemed to hit it off straight away, it was great.

To cut a long story short, I had a wicked night. I thought the atmosphere was nice and chilled but you could also feel the excitement in the build up to the arrival of JJJ. Having never met John or Josie, I'll admit I was a bit over awed to see them. Lol. It's true what everyone says, Josie is absolutely stunning in the flesh, there's no other way of describing her and John is a very good looking chap too! They make such a beautiful couple, its awesome. Josie was hilarious from the off and John was too, once he'd kind of relaxed into it after the first few minutes. They both seemed in excellent spirits.

My table was one of the last to be visited by JJJ that night so they didn't get to us until after midnight. At least I think that was about the time, I'd been partying for 6 hours by then so I'd had a fair few glasses of wine! My meeting with them was short and sweet and, if I'm honest, a bit of a blur and that's not just because of the booze - haha. Sounds a bit silly but it felt like a bit of an out of body experience, what with all the excitement of the party and the anticipation of actually getting to meet them. Very strange. Anyway, I can only recall telling them both that I didn't have any questions for them and I asked them both if I could give them a hug for being so amazing (Cringe!!). Bless them, they both obliged and so I got a hug and a peck on the cheek from both of them. Too cute for words. John squinted at my name badge and starting asking who I was on Twitter but I just kind of ignored him and went in for the kill. Lol. He was taller than I expected, not as thin as I thought he'd be and he smelt lush (yes, I did have a cheeky sniff during the hug!). I knew Josie was going to be tall but she was REALLY tall so I was literally looking up at her! She was so gorgeous and, I don't know how to describe it really, but sort of serene and calm. I felt really emotional meeting her. Was so kind of choked up that I didn't give her even a second to say anything! I was in like Flynn and then scuttled off to the side to let the other girls have their time. I felt like a bumbling shy idiot but I was so happy to have met them at last and seen for myself how fantastic they are together.

So that was my experience. I met some wonderful people and was lucky enough to meet John and Josie too, albeit briefly.

Hope you've not dropped off to sleep reading this and apologies again for the delay in posting.

Big love to the JJJAT party. Would love to do it all over again sometime!

Got to go for a while hope to see you all

Bye

Thanx Daisy. Wish is was last Saturday all over again. Might remember more of it a second time around. Still, lovely memories.

Love Phil xxx

Afternoon Steph





Beautiful lyrics, perfect for JJJ

Lovely post SEZQ. Finally, someone lets us know that John smells good.

See you later Ian x

Thanks stephhhhhhhhhhh

Afternoon Marion..........nice to hear you're just chilling .............I could loan you my hubby but you might regret it ........lay it onthe board and drag the iron over it or bang it up and down ........terrible at the smoothing part ............but he's good for a laugh.
I see Ali gave you the title of court jester..........very fitting missus .........you're in the chuckle bank remember
Last Iremember you were heading off on a mission into the old threads .........mission accomplished or abandoned ?
Must away my lovely .......many posts to write ........and those scans ........must find them they sound like a treat

______________________________________________

Tyne...had to bring this over from the last thread...

I'll take any assistance going with the smoothing Tyne...as you say he mighten be any good at it but it would be worth it for the comedy value alone...

Yes..court jester...was actually quite proud of that coz theres nothing i like more than to make people laugh...i'm a bit of an all rounder though..variety being the spice of life...

My journey through the old threads was an interesting one...not quite finished yet...but interesting reading back there among the cobwebs...i'll tell you all about it when i'm finished..

Marion xx

Can i just clarify that smoothing is referring to ironing and nothing else...for the smutty minded among us..

has anything else come up about the bench?

i dreamt that josie was trying to get hold of the bench to give it to Johnny james for valentines daybut also that Johnny james was trying to do the same thing but i woke up before i found out which one had succeeded
