Be warned about Pulp Fiction, it is violent and there's lots of bad language, but it wasn't what I was expecting, I did enjoy the film.

I haven't seen Pulp Fiction before, but may well give it a go now. I love Little Women and I enjoyed reading all her other books about the March family. <br />But Lend With Care sounds brilliant; I love the idea that, with luck, you get your money back to keep or lend again. Sort of like an endless donation of the same £15?

I wouldn't have watched many of the films I did this month if I wasn't doing this challenge, but I really enjoyed many of them so I'm pleased I did. I think Lend With Care is a brilliant idea. I like to support charities where you can see exactly where your money is going and the good that it's doing. I'm looking forward to reading this lady's updates.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-89120816219810720992015-02-28T11:46:58.524+00:002015-02-28T11:46:58.524+00:00I really enjoyed Little Women, I'm pleased tha...I really enjoyed Little Women, I'm pleased that I'd forgotten huge chunks of the story from when I watched the film, it made the book even more enjoyable.
