I've seen hardly any films, my old boss used to get very frustrated with me as he'd refer to a classic and I'd look blankly at him, he used to buy me box sets of classics which I've still not watched. I think I might go to bed after the film, dh is asleep on the sofa next to me...

MarshaBrady · 31/12/2014 21:25

I'm not great with old classics, haven't watched Gone with the Wind and all that era.

shopafrolic · 31/12/2014 21:28

Me neither. No old Classic films, and no old classic music either.

libertychick · 31/12/2014 21:29

Dh on the phone to various people in NZ. I am eating ice cream mixed w baileys (glutton), listening to country music and flicking through Red magazine. Boring. Not even sure I will make it to midnight - bit tired.

shopafrolic · 31/12/2014 21:32

I definitely won't make it to midnight. I usually get woken by the fireworks :)

Karbea · 31/12/2014 21:32

No, but I've not seen lots of more recent ones either. The only time I really get to watch films are on planes.

MarshaBrady · 31/12/2014 21:32

Ds is trying to, I won't. He'll have to go to bed when we do though

Karbea · 31/12/2014 21:37

Dh is asleep, the dogs are asleep and one of the cats is asleep, I'm the only one still awake and I was up at 5:20.
I don't know what the big deal is about ny anyway.

libertychick · 31/12/2014 21:40

Red magazine is still flogging bleeding leather joggers as a must have - no. Just. No.

MarshaBrady · 31/12/2014 21:48

I love that you've dispensed with the glass Lib Grin

Karbea you must be tired!

Dh is talking about opening another bottle. Just no. To that too

libertychick · 31/12/2014 21:50

Ha Marsha I dispensed with a bowl too. Just poured the baileys straight into the tub!

MarshaBrady · 31/12/2014 21:51

I just laughed out loud (for real) at that Grin

libertychick · 31/12/2014 21:55

Have just been admiring a bangle in Red. Thought 'oh that's nice'. Checked price. £945!!!!!!! Looked back at said bangle and noticed the little interlocking c's....

libertychick · 31/12/2014 21:56

I hate washing up Marsha ;)))

Karbea · 31/12/2014 21:57

Could be an investment then...

libertychick · 31/12/2014 22:01

Nothing will persuade me to part with close to £1k for a resin bangle. Not even the interlocking c's. it is nice though

santamarianovella · 31/12/2014 22:02

Talk about timing! I just got my period...no NYE celebration for us Hmm
At least I've cooked a great meal, so got that going on, maybe I had too much Wine, I shouldn't, I don't do we'll with it. it's like I don't have French blood in me at all,

Laying on the sofa with dh, watching the leftovers, really don't know what to make of it, very strange series.

libertychick · 31/12/2014 22:05

You do sound ever so slightly tipsy santa Grin

LinusDKD · 31/12/2014 22:12

Watching Sin City 2, DH's choice. Hmm

santamarianovella · 31/12/2014 22:12

Oh my god can't believe you haven't watched Gone with the wind marsha Shock, it's like the greatest movie ever,

Can't believe you are not familiar with lines like "the yankies are coming" Grin or "fiddle dee dee"

Topazandpearl · 31/12/2014 22:17

On the Baileys as well...
Staying in with DH, DS and DD have gone out and won't be home till all hours. (Oh to be young!) We have had a busy week since Christmas but it has been lovely to catch up with family and friends.
It was lovely to meet those of you at the summer mu (and mara in Nov) and I am looking forward to March (when is the exact date again?)
Happy NY everyone x

shopafrolic · 31/12/2014 22:32

gigi ? ok, my grandmother made me watch it because she had a crush on Louis Jordan, but its was fun , great songs!

the godfather? Tell me you've watched it! I took dh to see the locations where they shot the movie in Sicily, one of the towns was close to were my dad was born too,, but when I told dh that, he said that why should he be interested in where my dad was born, he is more interested in where Coppola shot the movie, and were al Pacino was Hmm

shop and marsha's NY resolution should be to watch a classic movie every month,

My head hurts now, nighty night,

MarshaBrady · 31/12/2014 22:57

Ehh ehh I failed, I will have to watch something Santa

Dh and ds are staying up, ds too excited, I'm in bed. Good night it's been a blast. Here's to a great 2015 together!
