I did see this one, that reminded me of old times when Mrs Joe was in a 'ealthier condition ( 'cept for the fancy clothes), but thought the better of sending it. #opeshedontseethis #ifshegetsbettershellgivemeagoodthrashin

Maybe being a blacksmith's wife ain't all that bad..! https://t.co/wR7Bj0LWSZ

I'm not sure @GE_MrsJoe has understood, though I have tried my best to convey some idea of what has happened #InfinitePains #NoMoreMeaningThanAnElectionCry #AsPipSaid

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Grateful for the kind wishes everyone ❤ https://t.co/4Aq5q3ScSt

[Joe Gargery @GE_JoeGargery]

Oh!! Woe is me!! Poor @GE_MrsJoe ! Please live to rampage again! Even with Tickler! Please all send your 'opes and prayers!

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Thank God for Twitter. Far easier to tell @GE_YoungPip what I want on here than by scrawling on that awful slate...

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Owwwwwwww my head 🤕

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Don't suppose you have any spare money you'd be willing to give me - err, I mean him - as well, eh..?

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Shoutout to @GE_MissHavisham for taking the wretched child off my hands so regularly these last few months 💕

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

@GE_YoungPip I cannot scrub these bloodstains from your trousers for the life of me, boy - seems you're keen to play at fighting. Would you like me to box your ears, then?? 👊

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Appears that @GE_JoeGargery prefers drinking down the Jolly Bargemen to my company. I should never have become a blacksmith's wife!!!! 😡

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Still, swords and flags and four large dogs at Havisham's? Lord knows the young imp may prove valuable yet!!! 💰💰💰

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Wish I had unburdened myself of him years ago... Anybody know if my uncle Pumblechook mightn't have him??

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

The boy said his visit to Miss Havisham went 'pretty well'. Who knows what the devil he means?! Maybe I should box his ears..?

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

@GE_YoungPip @GE_JoeGargery Be grateful you ain't been born a four-footed Squeaker!!

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

Still, @GE_Wopsle at least looked to be 'preciating my toiling away cooking and raising that boy by hand! (Even despite the embarassing pork pie disaster..)

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

And another year with no Carol-singing for me... The hardships of being a blacksmith's wife!! #slavewithmyapronneveroff

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

What a night, busting and washing up after Christmas dinner. Ain't had no help from that ungrateful imp of a boy nor my halfwit husband, neither.

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

The wretched child's gone and vanished. Stomping over the marshes all morning after him. It's bad enough to be a blacksmith's wife without having to be his mother!

[Mrs Joe @GE_MrsJoe]

@GE_JoeGargery Tickler is ready and waiting for the young monkey when he returns
