Well helloooooo fellow jjjat-ians!!
I feel I should introduce myself before I start my report. I go by the name of Rhiii, Rhiiitweets on twitter, I came across this thread well after big brother had finished actually, I think it came up in a google search I did of john and josie…….wow that’s embarrassing!!
Anyway I was the worlds biggest lurker and decided in october 2010 to pay the £5 and become a fully fledged member

I’d never watched big brother before, in all honesty I thought it was a waste of space. However that year my life was turned upside down and I was extremely poorly being practically confined to my bed for the whole of the summer. With nothing else to do i decided to watch the my very first big brother episode – the people going into the house. I knew right away there was something special about john james and josie, I just didn’t realise what an effect it would have on my life. I found comfort in the thread from the people who were on it and loved reading about peoples experiences of meeting them and seeing pictures, it was something I thought was a million miles away for me. This isn’t my first meeting with josie, I managed my first one in june last year about a year since bug brother and it was the most magical weekend every. However many people are like how I was and couldn’t ever go to any of Josie and John’s appearances So I know how valued these things are. I’m just sorry it’s taken me so long to type it up. My memories just a but messed up from the pure intoxication, lack of sleep and lack of food from the weekend haha.
Right enough of my life, what you really want is my report haha!!
My adventure to the land that is Bristol began about 100 days ago when it was announced haha!! I was the 7th person to buy a ticket and I began a countdown from then I was so excited!! I already had a room mate sorted in my pea (jen) who else?!?! And I immediately texted jan (robswifejan) to tell her about it and that she was coming haha!!
*Fast forward 91 days*
I was very surprised I had a whole 9 hours sleep the Thursday night – something I never thought would happen, I was like an excited school kid, I physically couldn’t wait. I’d already met some lovely people before and I was to meet a whole lot more!! I woke up at 7.30 and straight away started running round the house with excitement. I even ran straight into a wall and fell on my bum haha!! My first train left derby at 10.28 am (talk about precise) and it was venturing onto Birmingham new street, it was quite possibly the longest train journey of my life. I knew once I got to Birmingham I’d get to meet up with pea for the rest of my journey so I was beyond excited haha!! After I’d ran all round the train station at Birmingham trying to find the right platform I finally had a reunion with my pea!!! I casually jumped on her and gave her a massive squeeze

The train was choka block so we set up camp at the front of the train in the ony offy bit people go to. We then had a tweet from cathy hall asking where we were as she’d got on the train at Birmingham too. You’ll never quess where she was!! In the carriage behind us haha so off we popped to sit with her and hazy. You’ll never guess what carriage it was tho – the quiet carriage!! Me and pea can’t be quiet to save our lives I think it’s safe to say it was the noisiest quiet carriage in existence. There was some poor chap next to me who was trying to revise for an exam he had and in the end he just gave up and joined in our conversation as he had no hope of revising bless him. We were on the train for 1 hour 15 minutes and boy did that fly by. Before we knew it we were in Brizzle wooooooooooo!!!! I’d already been on the phone to jan and her train was due in 10 minutes after us so I told her we’d wait for her.
No kidding I was beyond excited to see her again, I was jumping up and down on the platform waiting for the train to arrive. At 1.04pm the train finally arrived and I was on that train like a mouse on cheese looking for her!! I was running down the platform wondering where the heck she was. When I spied her I picked up the pace and sprinted to her jumping into her arms giving her a massive cuddle. It’s a wonder she didn’t fall over haha!! It was like that seen on railway children when bobby runs and her dad haha!! It was amazing to see her again, I think the chap she was talking to may have been a little freaked out at a lunatic running towards them but I don’t care – you’ll soon learn I am a bit random and just do anything I decide is a good idea
We then headed to the hotel and checked in. I don’t mean to brag but when we paid they said it included breakfast but we paid like £20 less then everyone else so I guess ours was free. Epic win!! We then headed upstairs to find our room but got diverted when we came across an open door. No It wasn’t narnia, it was voddies room!!!! The party had already started and the bar was stacked so we gave her a big hug and I met the lovely cathy52 and gave her a massive hug, then I met someone called Claire. It was one of those moments when you haven’t a clue who they are but give them a hug and be polite anyway. She then said her twitter name. It was Purdeysmum!!! I’d only been talking to her for like the past month sharing my countdown!! This cued another massive hug and me feeling a wee bit dim. I have to say she is one of the loveliest people ever!!
As our bags were taking up most of the room, we took them to our own room and put on our pig onesies!!! Not gonna lie, they were awesome!! I wanted to give voddie the money for the prezzie straight away so I didn’t forget so we ventured back to her room to show them off – jans face was hilarious when she saw them!! We even went out for a fag in them and had every van beeping at us when they drove past haha. Back in voddies room more ladies came and joined us and the party commenced I think there must have been about 10 of us at one point, and I was just drunk. I think it’s safe to say I’m a bit of a lightweight……… whilst on the 3rd or 4th fag break, the moment I’d waited so long for happened. My senior (carzone29 on twitter) arrived!! We’ve been talking for over 10 months now and this was the first time we’d met!! I was beyond ecstatic!! I saw her in the taxi, ran down the path and jumped like a ninja down the stairs. They were steeper then I thought and I nearly broke my neck haha. I also saw Julia, lorraine and shez again and gave them a big squeeze After many drinks at the pub next door and more in voddies room It was then time to get ready for the Italian so off we trotted to get ready. It was then the lovely liza came up to our room and I just casually answered the door in my underwear……..i didn’t seem to care at the time. At the restaurant I met lots more lovely ladies including mary, chris, Claire and trish. I gave my senior another squeeze too!! I have to say my meal was super lush. I had the spag bol and chocolate tort mmmmmm!! The highlight of the meal definitely had to be voddie giving to pay over £11 for a piece of chicken!! And boy did she let them know she wasn’t impressed – she had me in stitches.
More still to come
