    21 is a bairn! Christ, I've had at least 7 boyfriends since then (yes, actual boyfriends whose name I knew and who I went on dates with!), moved house 4 times, done a masters, and met NIM.

    Nooo 21's not old! *SOB*

    He freaked out when he turned 20 last year, 21 isn't old but I can wind him up about it. Moo-ha-ha

    When I was 8 I thought 20 was really old, now even 80 doesn't seem that old to me! 200, yep, thats old.

    Yay for free date nights! Trying to find some deals for the resturants around Cineworld in Sheffield, not much luck!

    Ooh, this is a good game. Let's see, "Since I was 21 I have..." Had four boyfriends, moved house 5 times, learnt to drive, paid off my debt, accumulated it again and paid it off again!, lived in three different countries and had seven different jobs! :D

    Now, what are the free cinema sites you speak of?

    200 is more than old Cinny! I think it's known politely as deceased and decayed.....

    I think it's the freebies thread tete, there are some sites you can register with who will send emails to let you know when there is a free ticket promotion in your area. While I'm not a big fan of the cinema simply cos it's stupidly expensive, NIM is, so will register so can hopefully get some freebies to treat him.

    Those ticket sites are good! I've had free tickets to see Angus, Thongs and Full frontal snogging and, Baby Face? I think it was called! Sadly couldn't go to either so had to cancel both, still, I had them for a bit!

    I don't mind spending £13 for me and OH to get into the cinema, thats how much it would cost you on DVD to watch it once, and if the movie is rubbish you can walk out and get a refund, while you can't take a dvd back to asda and say 'nahh, didn't like it!' Never done that yet though.

    Oh, I want to see that, you'll have to let me know if it's any good!

    Think OH will want to see Watchmen on Friday, I think if we start going to the cinema more we should invest in the cineworld passes!
