donnie · 05/06/2006 19:41

sounds like she is taking the michael IMO. She's not stupid....there is more to this apparent story than meets the eye I reckon.

Imagine looking back on your life and realising that you spent all those years when you were young and healthy looking at a little box instead of really living. Such a shame and a waste.

Cappucino · 05/06/2006 20:27

is everyone going to be really holier-than-thou about this? I'd give my back teeth to do that every weekend

I only had kids so I could take them to matinees. The first six years are just dead-waiting time as far as I'm concerned

Can I have the country estates? I'd do a bit of walking.

LadyCodofCOdford · 05/06/2006 20:31

yes we are capp you idle mare

willow2 · 05/06/2006 20:33

LOL, Cap.

WideWebWitch · 05/06/2006 20:34

ha ha Cappuchino, I don't see the problem either, it sounds lovely to me. I had some fantastic weekends of Chianti and whole box sets of Sex and the City a few years ago, fab.

MarsLady · 05/06/2006 20:35

Lucky them!

If you work it out it's only about 6 or so films a weekend. I'd love to lie with my popcorn watching movies or an entire 24 series.

They get enough skiing etc so I'm sure that they get out and about. Better that than off their faces each and every weekend.

expatinscotland · 05/06/2006 20:35

yeah, and? it's her life. the kids are out of the baby/toddler stage.

when i was a teen, i liked nothing better than hiring a load of flicks w/my sister and young cousin - who lived w/us - buying a bunch of junk food and takeaways, and holeing up watching the same film 3 or 4 times.

God I am so envious !

I wish I'd watched more films when I had time - when dd is older I'm going to do that with her - 20 hour film-fests - fabulous !

AND - I wish I was as "fat" as them - blimey - they are so not fat !

sparklemagic · 05/06/2006 21:06

bet there are lots of mums who wish their older teenage daughters wanted to spend that much time with them!

And some that are quite glad they don't I guess Grin

emkana · 05/06/2006 23:14

Yes I will stick my neck out and say that I think spending 20 hours of a weekend watching DVD's is wasting your life away.

Not if you do it once every few months or so of course, but every weekend...!?

i thnk its great. how lovely to spend time together just slobbing out. am sure they have so many formal engagements that a full day together is very rare.

and i say that as a republican who would line em all up against a wall anf fkin shoot em

Tortington · 05/06/2006 23:29

and i dont think they are fat

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 05/06/2006 23:33

fergie looks gorgeous in that picture. always thought she was, just a bit unfortunate style-wise and overshadowed by the queen of hearts

JanH · 05/06/2006 23:36

Who makes the shepherd's pie and roast chicken, eh? Must be so nice to have staff.

mrsbang · 05/06/2006 23:39

I'm slightly envious I think, lol. Can't see my boys wanting to do that with me some weekend.

And DH reckons she is/was stunning in RL, whereas she takes a lousy pic most of the time.

Skribble · 06/06/2006 01:04

Ah sounds like a great way to spend a rainy sunday afternoon, my kids love Duvet Days. We all snugle up and watch DVD's all afternoon and eventually kick someone out to make dinner, usually something fun to eat like faitias.

Great family bonding, I am sure they they will soon reach the age when this is the last thing they want to do but until then we will still have Duvet Days every now and then.

bundle · 06/06/2006 01:05

they're not fat custy, you're right

wicked · 06/06/2006 05:51

At least they are not out shagging

threebob · 06/06/2006 07:31

I think she may have been misquoted - after all how many weekends are they all together?

It's not like they have to do the housework or go to the post office. She probably thought this made her sound very grounded and normal.

expatinscotland · 06/06/2006 09:26

She's NOT fat! Nor are her daughters.

WelshBoris · 06/06/2006 09:28

thought you were a 14 top?

so theyre the same size as you then

MrsBadger · 06/06/2006 09:29

bet Charles wishes Harry would stay in and watch dvds...
