Done before but it’s fun. So guess the book and the mil

[Seasawride]

Help! I have one dd. My mil has lived with us since we have been married.

She is a very strong woman and overruled me on everything. She sends me to bed if I sneeze.

When dd was 2 dh pissed off capturing butterflies in Africa and I havnt heard off him for years. Bastard. So mil got friendly with a wierd lady next door. She has big hair coils round her ears, writes books and has lots of kids.

I am concerned she is also involved in modern slavery as she has a woman living with her called Anna who does everything.

Anyway mil and this wierd Jo woman have colluded to send dd to a boarding school.

Aibu to just want to move away with dd. Start again and have some fun?

Guess the book and keep going.

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson Anne of Green Gables??

[Seasawride]

My dad is a drunk and thinks we are part of a rich family and I got sent to see them. The son seduced me and I had a sprog that unfortunately died. So now I am working with another bloke and some girls and this bloke has asked me to marry him. Mom says not to tell him I am not Virgo intactun. I told him about myself and he’s gone off in a hissy fit. So much for honesty.

Anyway cutting a long story short I have now killed man A just as man B decided he still fancied me.

I am now in bloody jail. Bastard bastard men.

Angua, Anne of Green Gables?

[BevBrook]

I simply must send them to see my sister, her scientist husband, and their daughter every single hols.

There's something weird going on with the Kirrins, though. Anne, Julian and Dick have the surname Kirrin and so does George, so Uncle Quentin and Father-of-AnneJulianDick must be brothers. But Kirrin Island, Kirrin Cottage and Kirrin Farm come from Aunt Fanny's side of the family, so her surname must also have been Kirrin before she got married. The only conclusion I can draw is that Aunt Fanny is Uncle Quentin's cousin as well as his wife, and also the cousin of Anne, Julian and Dick's father. Let's hope George doesn't marry either of her male cousins, for the sake of the Dorset gene pool.

@lisasimpsonssaxophone

Correct!

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Tess of the D'Urbervilles!

Gosh, this is fun.

[Seasawride]

Correct it’s Tess.

Bev

Murder on the Orient Express, Gasp0de?

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

That's it, Bev!

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

OK, here’s a bit of an obscure one. Re-read it recently!

Am v worried about DD: she has had a Thing for the local priest ever since she was a little girl (yes, I know, v. dodgy in itself) and I think it’s developing into a bit of an obsession. It might not be so worrying if we didn’t live in the Outback; there’s hardly loads of eligible men around and I’m worried she’s going to hook up with the first good-looking farmhand she meets just to convince herself she’s not still obsessed with the priest... No good will come of this.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

The Thorn Birds?

Never read it, just remember the hoo ha over the TV version.

[ScrambledSmegs]

Belated 👍 to Dottie!

[iismum]

only - The Thornbirds?

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Yes! What was his name, the guy who played the priest? I remember that TV series so vividly (but I have read the book more than once too ]

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Richard Chamberlain!

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Richard Chamberlayne? I can see his face...

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Yes, but Chamberlain.

[DrowsyDragon]

I want to marry my nanny. She’s much younger than me and seems to think I am a bit full on but she is just a perfect little sprite. No MIL but her aunt and cousins seem pretty dreadful. Just need to make sure wife number one and her family don’t find out. Or that my nanny finds out about her.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Jane Eyre!

[NancyDonahue]

I get so angry, I just can't help it. Especially when people are cruel to animals. It's not my fault, it's theirs! Anyway, who wouldn't love to be able to fly and be as free as a bird? And living in a nest must be fun!

[Dottierichardson]

Yes it was 'The Forsyte Saga'.

[DrowsyDragon]

yep - seems pretty obvious written down

[DrowsyDragon]

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to spend every summer in Sussex with my MIL and DH’s whole family. My DH is the oldest brother. DSIL one seems oblivious to her husband’s philandering while DSIL two is practically a child. Quite worried about my health too but as long as DH never suspects anything is wrong all will be well. At least my dd and two ds can play with their cousins.

[Dottierichardson]

I'm having a relationship with a woman but find myself increasingly attracted to her daughter. AIBU to leave my gf and start a relationship with her daughter instead? The daughter is a lot younger than me, but I think love can overcome the age gap.

[DrowsyDragon]

Lolita?
