After hearing that a third Bridget Jones movie is in the works I haven’t been able to get rid of the urge to watch the first two movies on a sad Saturday night in with an endless amount of maltesers and Ben and Jerrys.
The movie is apparently called Bridget Jones’s Baby (hint, hint) and is due to begin filming in August. Unfortunately, Hugh Grant will not be making a comeback as the irresistible heartbreaker Daniel Cleaver, so Colin Firth will have to do as the charming Mark Darcy!
In honour of this great announcement in female movie history, I have decided to write a post about all the ways women everywhere can relate to Bridget’s character. Oh wait, is that just me? Damn…
1. You have knickers to suit every occasion
To thong or not to thong?
2. There’s always that one guy you can never work out…
We meeting up or nah?
3. Oh, and the other one…
Ohhh so I move on and now you decide to speak up…
4. Your friends aren’t particularly fond of them
We can’t blame them really…
5. Your parents never seem to help matters either
Mother, I wanted valuable life advice, not a lecture and appearance criticism.
6. You don’t exactly help yourself at times and end up being a disaster magnet
Deleting all my social media accounts and moving to Peru…
7. You have your little insecurities
Even though you hate to admit it sometimes…
8. You never know when to shut up
“I really should not have said that…”
9. Which often gets you into trouble…
“I was right, I really should not have said that…”
10. When all else fails, you enjoy your alone time and dwell on the hopelessness of your entire life
Until Saturday night when you decide to hit the naggin of vodka hard and repeat number six…
