They are indeed :) Jackie, as a couple of people below comment, will be far harder to placate *g*

[honorh]

Uh-oh! Rose may be forgiving, but Jackie most certainly isn't. Cute!

[wendymr]

I'm glad you liked it - and, yes, Jackie is by far the harder to deal with *g*

[rhia_starsong]

Oops! I suspect Jackie's even more upset about this than Rose is. Ah, well, time to grovel, boys!

[wendymr]

Oh, she definitely is - and grovelling is most certainly in order!

[bloose09]

Oh man! That honey-do list is going to be pretty long...

[wendymr]

What's a honey-do list? *puzzled*

[bloose09]

Sorry. A 'honey-do list' is a list of chores/errands given by one's spouse, partner, or girlfriend. Sometimes it is assigned to make up for mistakes or bad behavior.

It is short for 'honey do this' or 'honey do that'.

[wendymr]

Ah! That phrase doesn't exist in Britspeak and I've not heard anything like it (we also tend not to use 'honey' as an endearment). Interesting! Thanks for the explanation :)

[tardis_stowaway]

Oh dear! The wrath of a Tyler woman is a formidable force. Too bad there are some mistakes even a time machine can't fix.

I really like Jackie looking out for her daughter's marriage, however unconventional that marriage may be.

[wendymr]

Oh, yes. Jack and the Doctor chose the wrong women if they wanted a quiet life *g* And Jackie is always fiercely protective of Rose, regardless of whether or not she approves of Rose's choices initially - and she loves Rose enough to accept her choices eventually if she sees that nothing will change (just as she told Rose to bring Nine to tea in AoL/WW3, an olive branch he ignored).

Thank you!
