yes, definitely read the book before the film (it's usually better anyway0

Yes it's OK for me too if I read the book first.

Kettles on my daughter is 5 minutes away :D

 

See you later

Enjoy the rest of your day Pam. Hope you got lots of pressies and Pam-pering

Off to bed. Only 15 mins of birthday left Pam.

Goodnight, megham.

Strange dream about my mother-in-law last night. She was lying on a mattress on the floor, hallucinating about being in labour, moaning in her sleep and I was trying to comfort her. She rolled over on and I saw somebody underneath the mattress who she was squashing. This person was staring up at me, silently. I moved my MIL back over and waited for the end, then woke up.

I wouldn't dare attempt to interpret that one.

 

I know I must dream almost every night but I haven't remembered one or even a fragment of one for a very,very long time.

 

 

Did your mother-in-law spoil your husband, Nina?

Did your mother-in-law spoil your husband, Nina?

 

No, I wouldn't say she spoiled him.

 

I wouldn't dare attempt to interpret that one.

Sometimes, I wish I didn't remember mine. My mind seems to go into overdrive when I'm asleep. One bizarre dream I had was being chased by Alan Sugar who was driving a car with crocodiles crawling all over the back seat. I crash cars into walls, fierce dogs or panthers attack me, my block of flats has been struck by lightning and burnt to nothing and so many more. One of the worst was being on a bus and screaming as I watched the wheels run over a toddler's head.

 

I write some down or turn them into stories and poems. I think Freud would have field day trying to analyse them.

 

So tha's one interpretation out of the way then.

sorry :D

You should be.

ROFL

 

 

I've done Mum's lunch, nor time to do my father-in-laws

:o You make them different lunches? Do you do that with all the meals?

definately if you read the books your imagination is always better than the film! if you see a film fist..IMO its not worth reading the book..LOL..

the first HP has been on telly a couple of times hasnt it, I recall we didnt get through that either.. it seems so much like a childs tv show..mm..something about a witches school..the worst witch or something that was always on kids tv.

I think Narnia was the last one we went to see at the cinema, and youngest was scared watching, I had forgotten how frightening the book was really..and to have it translated onto big screen, they did that well..

Hard work, Meg, having to make different meals for everyone so they'll eat.

 

I'm curious as to what the Philip Pullman Northern Lights film will be like. The books are brilliant but will need lots of special effect to translate well to screen, though they managed to do it as a play.

Dave and I are quite capable of getting our own lunch. His dad has deteriorted into only eating a few foods and Mum must loose weight. Between the diabilities the stroke left her with and the increase in weight, it's severly damaging her mobility. We have the next 5 ot 6 weeks to try and bring it down with sensible eating.

The evening meal goes the same. Feed the parents then we have whatever I cook for us. We like spicy food and pasta or rice, they don't.
