    Haha! I think it's different when it's my Sister, our relationship is strong enough to weather a couple truths! We're pretty much the only people that can call each other out on our bullpoop anyways.

    I don't post much really, Dinah! Only have it to keep up with Laura when she's in America and Rus because he's forever in America. Posted a picture of John yesterday though :D

    LOL, we're all clearly too polite for our own good! Although if BIL had decided to go on our holiday I'd have told him that he can go at another time as we want to be alone! I can only be nice to the guy for so long... I did a brilliant job of avoiding him at our wedding! :o

    After OH's last lad's holiday with his 2 best friends he told them that as much as he loved them he could only stand them for a maximum of 4 days and any future trips should not exceed this! :p

    Cinny, I'll have to have a nosey on your FB tonight to have a look at John! :)

    Get the booze down you Wendz, it's medicinal! ;)

    I'm a Gryffindor of course! :p Although I have a feeling I'm not brave enough to be a true Gryffindor, but I'm not clever enough to be in Ravenclaw (would never be able to solve the riddles to get into the dorm!) so I'd probably have been sorted into Slytherin or Hufflepuff! :o

    Hee hee I always tease my sister that she'd be a Hufflepuff, it is kind of the lamest house... Not that I'm agreeing you should be in it Birdie!!

    Yeah, I kind of feel sorry for the Hufflepuffs, bless them, they can't be too bad though, Cedric Diggory was one of them after all! :)

    The saving grace for the house was a guy who died and turned into the universes worst excuse for a vampire? I'd be forced to seek expulsion rather than be a Hufflepuff...I could do ok in Slytherin mind ;)
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    There are four of us going and I wanted to do one for each house but of course no-one wanted to be Slytherin so I've ended up with three Gryffindors and one awkward Ravenclaw.

    What's the consensus on the Ravenclaw colours? The books say blue and bronze but in the film they're blue and grey? I'm thinking should go with the latter as it's the FILM sets we're going to....??

    Were there any good Slytherins? Was Snape one? Was Luna a Hufflepuff? I can't remember ... resisiting urge to read them all again!! BTW, my Dad's reading them at the mo! :D

    Hmmm I'd go with blue and grey since you're touring the film set. Don't know why they changed it?! Luna's a Ravenclaw :)

    I think you're a natural Slytherin NIM! ;)

    Poor Cedric, he was lovely in the book. Shame Robert Pattinson went on to star in Twilame. I saw a screenshot on a funnies site yesterday of someone asking on Yahoo Answers why JK Rowling had ripped off the 'warewolf with the surname of Black' from Twilight! The most popular answer to that question was 'Are you an idiot?' :rotfl:

    Snape was a Slytherin and he was a goody in the end... even if he was horrible to Harry!

    I sometimes wish I could forget everything Potter so I can enjoy reading them all over again :o
