    I hate it when they use American/Australian actors in place of English ones!!!

    i agree with that, we have enough home grown talent to have provided the lead roles in this film, 'English accents' by american actors are just wrong.

    still cant wiat to see the film as i loved the book (im on my 3rd read)

    hopefully there will be some freebie tickets about for it

    Hi Guys!

    Havent read the thread yet but hope all is well.

    WM is on with bedding and cleaner here ATM, so I dont have to do anything today.

    OH has taken the car to get the new windscreen put in. A huge crack appeared, but luckily we are covered and just have to pay the £65 excess which is great as the screen is over £300 as it has rain scensors etc built in.

    Have listed 40+ items onto Ebay from Turbolister as its half price listing day today, so hopefully some of the [STRIKE]clutter [/STRIKE]items will go. I have started most at 99p, so that should get things going.

    The humidity here this morning is quite high and my bones/muscles seem to be playing up because of it. I dont mind it being cold as long as its not damp IYSWIM. Tummy also feels a little sicky today, but havent eaten yet, just had one of my high calorie/protein drinks to take me tablets with.

    Anyway, I really need a cup of EarlGrey and maybe a plain biccie.

    Hugs to all.

    PP

    Hello everybody,

    I loved the book too. All her books are a great read. I think some actors can pull off accents really well. Look at the bloke who acts in House. I never knew he was English for ages. Cate Blanchett was good as Elizabeth. Eric will be fine. :D

    Baby is called Maybelle Autumn Emilia. :rolleyes: :D Had a busy morning in the kitchen and looked after DGS from 12 till 6pm. We've just had our tea. Had quiche, potato bake, corn on the cob & coleslaw. Plum :D & apple crumble & custard. Very nice it was too. ;)

    Got my hand mending done this arv while DGS was asleep and I was watching the women's semi's. Great matches. Will do the sewing machine mending tomorrow. Then I can start on my kitchen curtains.

    Mrs Mix :hello:
    Blairweech     Hope DH interview goes well.

    Well I'm off to surf then watch the Men's tennis. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Well I have been known to do that as well in my younger & more carefree days. :D Why do you think we flock to the beach in summer. :rolleyes: To swim in shark infested waters. Yeah right. :p
