    Oh Notting Hill is lovely! '..just a girl standing in front of a boy...' etc etc!!

    Have a good cry, but do it whilst you're ironing and the tears can help the process along! Sometimes having a cry can make you feel better and by doing it because of Julia and Hugh, then that's OK!

    Notting Hill and Miracle on something St. But they always make me cry!

    Would that be Miracle on 34th Street, by any chance? I'm guessing not, now that I've thought about it. That one's got a happy ending.

    Oh, I didn't know there was more than one version. I've got the version with the girl from Matilda in it.

    I'm sure there is an old black and white version too...

    altho the matilda girl version is a classic in it's own right.

    we also love matilda too!

    I'm not coming back as a woman:D
    been home an hour (after a 14 hour day) made beds, emptied and refilled dishwasher, washed up what wont fit in dishwasher, transferred washing from machine to tumble dryer, general tidy up and made casserole for dinner....

    ....Oh, and DS has been off all day....'its my day off'. Am I allowed to kill my offspring once they get past 18?
    He also said ' you should have got home earlier, could have had some breakfast ( 12 oclock )'......to which I replied 'yes, i know you've had a fry-up, I've just cleared up the mess.....and the fridge is empty':mad::mad::mad:

    ...and relaaaaxxx

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Totally agree QB, it's better to get the tears out otherwise they build up inside and bring you down.

    Bit late perhaps, but for SRM, when you take the shoes back to the shop, if they're funny about replacement mention the sale of goods act 1979 which states that goods sold must be fit for purpose and last a reasonable amount of time- 10 weeks isn't reasonable for shoes, especially not £39 shoes!

    Hope this helps- I've found it usually works :rotfl:
