i have officially finished my xmas shopping, but as usual, i have now decided it really doesnt look like much & want to get just a few more bits for dd's. thinking of a movie night hamper forr dd (12), can anyone suggest any non-xmas cheap dvds, shes got all twilight, harry potter etc, i would like something that maybe is based around a similar aged girl with similar "growing up" issues, but dont know if such things exsist. still deciding what theme hamper to do dd (5)...

I'd suggest anything with someone like Adam sandler in? Just because they are funny and the Rom coms are cute!
50 first dates is a fave of mine or the wedding singer. Or even happy Gilmore (I know it's golf related but I love it!)

I always loved Pretty in Pink and Footloose!, how about Dirty Dancing? My favourite was always St Elmo's Fire though I think it's a 15 and may be a little old for her at 12, depends on the child I guess and what they are into

have to show my kids Pretty in Pink as we are all big Two and A Half Men fans and I wonder if they will recognise Jon Cryer as Duckie!

OMG, I love pretty in pink, have seen it loads of times but never made the connection to two and a half men! I knew I knew him from somewhere but couldn't get away from the fact that he reminds me of Matthew Broderick!

Oh, Completely forgot about Angus,Thongs and Perfect Snogging .

Took dd to the cinema to watch it with a classmate and her Mum.

I laughed all the way through it and the others girls Mum sat with a face set in stone:rotfl:

My brothers girlfriend is actually in the film, for a split second lol!

Chalet Girl is a fun film which I really enjoyed watching (much to my surprise!). I don't remember any 'bad' bits in it but it was a while ago and I wasn't watching from a parent's perspective. Or what about Mean Girls?

I think 12yrs is a tricky age - some 12 certificate films are not really suitable for 12 yr olds (IMHO) but PGs might be too babyish.

I agree, she wants to be watching the stuff we watch (true blood - definate no no, vampire diaries - dad says yes but im still not sure) and the stuff i want her to be watching (cinderella, dora etc lol) well, you can imagine her response!

Haha...just thinking about my comments about age appropriateness and how much I sound like my Mother! I must be 'proper old' all of a sudden. Not sure how that happened but it's very scary!!! :eek:

I told one of dds friends to take her coat off the other day. She said she was ok, and dd pops up with
' Oh take it off before she starts going on about appreciating it outside. I don't need to hear it again !':rotfl::rotfl
