To watch Pride & Prejudice on my own with a bottle of wine...

[HebeJeeby]

DH works away during the week and I'm fed up being on my own again. Not his fault and he wishes he was at home more too. However, I'm in a bit of a grump today and to cheers myself up I'm going to watch P&P on my own with a bottle of Pinot. The BBC version (the best adaption in my humble opinion), not the Keira Knightley one.

I'm looking forward to the bit when their eyes meet over the piano in the drawing room.....

[Mumof3men]

Oh sounds like a fab night-where are you??? I can bring chocolate to go with the wine! :-)

[HebeJeeby]

chocolate gets you automatic entry. (Budging up on sofa now)

[iliketea]

I am so - that sounds like the perfect evening. Enjoy

[LineRunner]

That's my idea of a good night. Love the BBC one. And the even earlier BBC one is great, too.

[SAHRum]

YANBU! sounds like the perfect way to spend a Thursday evening

[PoppyWearer]

[dipitydoyou]

YANBU sounds like a perfect evening to me too!

Colin Firth getting out of the lake in a wet shirt.....sighs

[DeskPlanner]

Budge up a bit more for me.


I am so very . That honestly does sound like a perfect evening. Not fair.

[Hulababy]

I would :)
P&P, wine, chocolate - perfect!

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Can't we have a fantasy MN version where it is no Ikea Knightly but I get Matthew MacFadyen? Pretty please?

[Decoy]

YANBU. What a good idea for a nice evening

[squoosh]

Oh yes, I did this recently, was lovely.

Hadn't watched the BBC version in ages so was worried it would look a bit creaky. It doesn't, it's still great. Love the eyes over the piano bit too. Love when Caroline Bingley gets her comeuppance.

[Nelly000]

I can bring Monster Munch?

[KurriKurri]

Oh can I come , I have half a plum crumble and some mini cheddars. I also have shingles but am not catching, and only slightly spotty so Colin Firth would still find me mysterious and alluring

[Nelly000]

Lol at MrsTP autocorrect fail. If that's what is was

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Not a typo. A Mark Kermode reference. Because she is so wooden. Snurk.

[Xiaoxiong]

YANBU. DH is working late tonight and I was just trying to decide whether to watch P&P or something silly from the LoveFilm site Twilight while folding laundry - it'll have to be a hot choc though for pregnant me though.

[mylovelymonster]

Ooh wonderful - I stayed up til 1am the other night as I just caught Mansfield Park (1999 classic) on Beeb2. It was gorgeous. DH always fidgets, and prefers car chases, so preferable if he's elsewhere TBH.
Enjoy your evening with The Firth x

[LineRunner]

Of course, there is always the Eurovision semi-final...

[nkf]

Without me? Yes, you are being very unreasonable.

[JustGiveMeFiveMinutes]

I'm on my own too as DH working away. As soon as ds2 in bed I'll be watching Sense and Sensibility which I'm sky plussing atm.

In answer to your question YADNBU

[sleepingsatellite]

Just finished watching it, so no, YANBU!

[quizzywizz]

Watch North and South ..... John Thorton is an AMAZING character!! Better than Darcy .....

[Brandnewbrighttomorrow]

Massive . Enjoy!

[MissMogwi]

No one is ever unreasonable if they watch P&P with or without wine. I love it, especially the Colin Firth version.

I also love Jane Eyre. I love me some Michael Fassbender as Mr Rochester.
