And huge respect to EaH, without whose efforts we never would have had a list

(And yes, I am one of those sad people who finds things like temperature sensors in cars really interesting. Nerd.)

GREASE 2!!! 'I wanna cooooooool rider, a coooooool rider, and if he's cool enough he can burn me through and through, whoooaaaaa' - Wilkie is so hip and happening

Shimmer - I am doing the 7.3opm feed and 1.30am feed with hungry baby Aptamil (although maybe the 1.30am will be later if it works?!?!?!?!!!!)

oooh, labyrinth, I loved that. 'You remind me of the babe, what babe, the babe with the power, what power, the power of hoodoo, you do, what, remind me of the babe' Poor baby Toby though, he seemed to cry throughout the film, I wonder if he actually was sitting amongst model goblins. Scary.

Oh, and rgee, it was ud who lives in the murder mecca of Northhampton, in Norfolk we always bake our friends! I've sat on here way too long today..

Finally - its started snowing in Hove! I think we are the last people to see it. It never snows here so I am quite excited. If I didnt live on the 4th floor I may even had bundled up LO to show him the snow.
Shimmer, after looking at my ironing all day I've now put up board and turned on iron. I have 15 mins till LO wakes up for a feed and DP is home in 45 mins. Hmm, its so not going to happen. I am being a Faux Housewife today!
Shall we start thinking of new thread names? x

Also must say LOVE Grease (more than Grease 2!) and Dirty Dancing. Labryinth scared the crap out of me when i was little so have never really got over the fear watching it again. Bestest saddest movie ever... Pretty Woman!!

Hi all. Just got back from tesco and it started snowing as soon as I got in Not so used to it in this part of the country! Bought a couple of little ready made cartons of stage 2 hungry baby milk for Freddie to try out tonight. EAH our feeding times are almost exactly the same as yours - (though the 1st ones at 7,not 6 cos i REFUSE to get up and feed that early when he's only had a bottle a few hours before) Not sure whether to give the new milk at 6pm AND 10pm. Maybe just the 10pm one to start with.... I wonder if it tastes different? Don't want to wake him up for a dream feed and confuse him when he's half asleep with different milk

Have had the ironing board out since 10 this morning and still haven't done any ironing....

I am so jealous - I really wanted the karaoke version of grease for Xmas - but I am sadder than you...I actually prefer Grease 2 (I know - its sounds blasphamous - but I love it!)
And Ferris Buellers Day off is another favourite. I have a "Save Ferris" t-shirt and a badge too. I am such a saddo!
And Wizard of Oz is another great one - has anyone seen the karaoke version of this at the cinema? Its great, people dress up and sing along to the whole film! Final secret shame has to be the Labryinth. David Bowie in Lycra. OMG...he is sooooo sexy! sexydave

I got Grease DVD for Xmas (Vino - my fellow Grease lover where are you??!). It was a special edition with a 'Karaoke Singalong' DVD

Dirty Dancing is fab and Patrick Swayze is HOT!

Interesting fact: Did you know that Mindy (Rachel's ex best friend in Friends) is Jennifer Grey?? She had a nose job after DD and is virtually unrecognisable. God I'm sad

I think we were all sitting there saying 'they don't make films like this anymore' actually dirty dancing was a xmas present but dh undid it and bought it in to cheer me up. Cocktail is one of my all time favs, we even went to Jamaica on our honeymoon because I thought it looked fab on that film (dh wanted to go to Italy - still have my suspicions it was to watch football )

Love the photos Wilkie. And LTH - pmsl at teeth [GRIN]

You;ve all had a busy day haven't you! Obviously just jealous I've been out today and missed out on all the chat . Actually, we went swimming in a hydrotherapy pool which my mate had hired exclusively, and it was great.

Carrotcake - 'murder capital' and 'baking a friend '???!!!

did you all sing, EAH, or cringe together with 'nobody puts baby in the corner'? Ha ha, I've never seen cocktail but Tom Cruise was quite nice in topgun wasn't he, I quite liked legend too, but in fact I sort of fancied Tim Curry, the devil more. Oh dear, probably shouldn't have admitted that
