Elsie, that's fantastic!

When's the film coming out, and who are playing you and Tom?

Tra-la-laaaaaaa!

how fabuloso, well done elsie B.

I think Brangelina...and that small child that sang at the opening ceremony of the olympics could be Betty. That would bring in a strange ethnic twist to the film, and large parts of the plot would centre around, 'how on earth did Elsie and Tom produce a child of Chinese extraction?'

Can't wait.

I've just started reading your blog, it's great! No wonder you got a book deal. Congratulations

I was just going through your old posts and I just had to let you know, I secretly like Fray Bentos pies too. I don't care what people say, they're serious comfort food!

Millennium Housewife said...

That's just fantastic! Well done you xxxx

Frog in the Field said...

Bea told me, well done, delighted for you.

Oooooo Superb! You must let us know when the first one comes out. I can see it now "Betty Goes To The Seaside". Awwwww congratulations!!!!

Hadriana's Treasures said...

Well done on the book deal! I secretly believe that the Betty blockbuster will be entitled "Just Wilhemina"! If you know what I mean...maybe Oliver could play the "Violet Elizabeth Bott" character...

Congrats and many congrats. Thank you for the link BTW! Hx

Belated congratulations. I love the way you write. You are super gifted. I am just sorry that you stopped blogging, but it is so very difficult to do both (I find). Especially if your book is to be based on your blog.

Enjoy your family, and don't let anything take you away from that. They grow up so very quickly.
