  • Miri replied

  • Damian

    Damian

    LOL, clearly I haven’t read the story then! You? Horrible? Course not :)

    Good luck in your interview! If you want the job that is, heheh!

  • Miri replied

    it’s a very good read…did it first at school & never expected to like it, & the film with Laurence Olivier is excellent too! I have a really old copy, hardback with ‘Rebecca’ written across it which is where my Mum got the name!

    and of course i’m a complete angel ;-)

    thanks hon, it sounds like a good one so fingers crossed!

  • Bob Fox

  • Miri replied

    thanks Gayla, used to have one when i was little…now more of a cat person!! had to leave them in the UK when we emigrated…i knew if we paid all that money to ship them out they’d straight away go & torment a poisonous spider/snake & die!! LOL!

    Natella2020

    Chocolate and blue cheese? You must love cheesecake! That was a great self-interview.

  • Miri replied

    do you know – i don’t actually like cheesecake!! is that odd?! thanks sweetie, so are you a blue cheese girl??

  • jcmontgomery

    jcmontgomery

    Scuba diving & salsa dancing. Sounds fun, especially if you can do them at the same time. LOL
    Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier = I completely agree. I love the story & the movie.
    What song do you want played at your funeral? Always look on the bright side of life – Monty Python. Absolutely Perfect !!!!!!!!

    Oh, and I fixed what I was missing. It was actually number 34 and 44. Sorry if that makes editing this a bit of a chore. My bad. :-(

  • Miri replied

    oh yes, that’s why i want to go to Cuba cos of diving, dancing & rum!!!

    it was so hard to pick a favourite book, i think everyone (especially writers!) must have thousands of faves!

    i didn’t even notice the numbers were missing!! have fixed now :-)

  • Zolton

    Zolton

    Ha ha. Thank you Miri! I love your funeral song. It’s perfect. I’m singing “Getting to Know You” after reading all these. : )

  • Miri replied

  • Natella2020

    Natella2020

    That is strange! My dad and my sister both love cheesecake. Me? I can be pretty boring when it comes to food—I’ve never had blue cheese before. Actually, I’ve only tried four varieties of cheese: Swiss, cheddar, ricotta, and, of course, mozzarella.

  • Courtney Goddard

    Courtney Goddard

    haha! i love it! and i love chocolate and i LOVE extroverted ppl!! :D mine is a little different but i like this one!!! and blue cheese – what is wrong with people?!!? it is gross – and why do people always use the blue cheese knife on the rest of the cheeses on the platter??! ARGH??

  • Miri replied

    i can see why that would be annoying if you didn’t like it! i reckon if people tried stilton they’d be blue cheese converts….you just have to get past the smell LOL!!!
