Maartje came up with the brilliant idea to send Joanna a birthday card this year. I know the 1st of May is still far away, but it can't hurt can it?
So if you would like to be featured on the card, post your message to her in this topic, but don't make your message too long. And remember, we like to keep things nice, so nothing obsessive and fangirlie
And then me and Maartje will buy the card and send it to her

Please count me in! Happy Birthday, lovely Joanna!!! And many happy returns!!!!

Joanna;
I hope you have a fabulous birthday!

^Aw that's really lovely Eric!


I still have to think about what I'm going to write..

Awh, that is lovely Eric! Thank you all so much for your contributions, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

By the way - for everyone who hasn't replied yet: you've got 'till upcoming Saturday.

We are going to buy the biggest, most fabulous birthday card in the history of birthday cards!

Haha, well it's gonna be a tough job to find a card good enough.

Happy card hunting my dears !
I hope you find a FAB one to send to Jo ...

We'll take a picture of it

Did you send it yet? I was wondering; maybe you should create the card yourself instead of buying it. I've seen some lovely artwork in here and it would be so much more personal.

BTW; will I get a card too? After all, my birthday is May 1st as well. .

If you haven't sent it, I'd really like to add my wishes to it. Would have to think about what exactly to write for a moment though.

Of course you can be on the card, you have until Saturday, because that's when me and Maartje are gonna buy it.

And you share a birthday with Joanna? That is so coo!!

*lol* Yup. And I have the passport to proove it. Even though I will _not_ show off the picture... or at least not before I got one that's as pretty as Patsys

Ok, I will start thinking about what I want to 'say' and get back at you. Thanks!

Ahaha don't worry, both my passport pictures are awful as well. Nobody will get to see them. And I shall have to live with that for the next 5 to 10 years

And I have to say, I'm a bit jealous. I want to share a birthday with Jo too!

*cough* Syphillis..



Anyway - of course you're welcome to write something too, as long as you let us know before Saturday.

Alright, sweetiedarlings. Only 1 day left. If you still want to be on the birthday card for Joanna, leave your message now!!

To "The Lovely Lumley" - eternal beauty, awesome talent, fighter of worthy causes...

Joanna, all the very best from this long time fan. I've loved you since I first watched you leap into action as Purdey in 1976. I was just 9 years old then, but was stunned by your beauty and presence. Now I'm 41 and you still have exactly the same effect whenever I see you - or indeed hear your wonderful voice. Sheer CLASS!

Thanks ever so much for providing such joy and inspiration over the years. You are, quite simply - a LEGEND! :-)

Have a great birthday and many happy returns!!

Lots of Love

(Philippa, if that's too long by all means edit it, I really don't mind :-) x

No it's fine Chris. What you've written is lovely, I wouldn't dare to have it shortened

Well, thank you, Philippa. As long as you're sure; but if you do run out of space feel free to trim it...

Don't worry, we'll just buy a bigger card

Very lovely - absolutely no way that's gonna be shortened, don't worry.

Thanks so much for all your kind messages guys. We - unfortunately - won't be able to send the card tomorrow, because I'm quite ill at the moment, but we will soon!
