Every so often I do! although not as much latley (think that must be good) lol
I have a friend and now and again when things used to pile up! I used to txt her and say I am having a" Shirley Valetine" moment grin in fact I really fancy watching the film again as it must be at least 10 yrs since I saw it..
I seem to remember a plate of egg and chips being on the menu because it was a certain day, and thats what the hubby had on that! day ....! must go and dig it out ..

I loved that film and really identified with Shirley - except I actually did it!

I`ve been tempted, often, but never had the courage to go ahead with it!

Every time I think of Shirley Valentine I remember the blood hound scene Shirley saying "its not normal to have a vegitarian blood hound" then give's the poor hungry dog the hubby's steak,that was the night he got chips & egg on the wrong night,priceless

hmm now wants the house to oneself, to go and get the DVD bag of popcorn, curtains closed and get comfy on the sofa (do not disturb sign on the door) and sit down and enjoy the film....now then ! where can I put DH! grin in fact....think I will make it a full day grin
Mamamia, Billy Elliot, Full monty, Shirley Valentine, yes I know all cheesy films..but we all need a bit of cheese now and then lol..

I quite often take a mini Shirley Valentine experience; I get in the car, drive south and stay with various family and friends wink for a week or so and return somewhat invigorated grin

Not so much now, but happened all the time when I was in an unhappy marriage. Did a lot of talking to walls in those days! Wonderful film/stage play.

I've a feeling all of us at one time or another can relate to Shirley Valentine can't we.

Crimson I did as well - eventually I got out - I loved the film and the play it changed my life then - my favorite comment is " marrige is like the middle east, there is no solution" I so felt like that at the time smile

Yes; I couldn't see a way out without hurting a lot of people, which I wouldn't do. Most relationshipes only make sense when you're no longer in them imo! And I always blamed myself.
