    Hi Urg, am still looking have been checking lastminute quite regularly, cheapest ones i have seen for Sat 7th March is £40, we are figuring if we leave it till nearer the date we may get them much cheaper. Not sure though!!

  • hello again!
    we are still at home - no beds at kettering general :eek: . but we have been asked to go in at 8am tomorrow and it sounds like they will still operate tomorrow...

    so popped out and got some nice bread and we used up some ham and cheese for sarnies.

    oh is adamant that he wants a curry tonight - should i let him??? it is the curry house at the end of the road who we use all the time but what if he ends up with a dodgy tummy :confused:

    so.... i am making some spag bol sauce now while he is asleep and will see if he will have that....

    urg - i am having minor plumbing problems so i can sympathise especially as yours have affected a neighbour too - i can't turn my water off! discovered this on tuesday and have already had man from anglian water out. he can't find out where to turn it off in the street so now we have to wait up to 10 days for the digging men!

    feel all kind of topsy turvey today and in limbo..... dont want to do anything as want to spend time with oh but jobs need doing and i am all worried about stuff :o

    I have grabbed a free lunch at work as we had visitors, which was a result as i got up too late (oops) to make a packed lunch!

    I've just paid a CC bill a little early and will now try and find the free piggy clicks thread to do some clicking :)
    All I seem to hear is blah blah blah!

    And an added bonus today in getting a free Subway lunch with a voucher from a colleagues newspaper! Woo hoo! (Best DFW act of the day!)
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    It's a risk as you are travelling up for a weekend but there are the half-price ticket booths in Leicester Square. Problem with that is that you can spend a while queuing.

    Keep looking - I subscribe to a couple of ticket sites so will let you know if I see anything.

  • Well my fellow DFW'rs, I spent a fair chunk of one of the coldest days of the year in a car park due to the evacuation of my store and the store next door thanks to a burst pipe:eek: ! What a joy! Never mind, I am home now- toasty warm and wearing two pairs of pink socks.

    -Transferred £100 eBay profit to cc
    -Did free scratchcard and won 20p!
    -Nearly a NSD but had to buy milk and half price Ben & Jerry's. Only spent £2.95 so a LSD.
    -Didn't eat lunch, so didn't spend any money on that
    -Store cupboard tea
    -Listed five more clothes items on eBay. Will take pics later ready to list some more on Friday, my day off.
    -Finally got a MS- haven't done any for months- £8- yippeeeee:T

    Can't think of any more but may update later.

    Go anyway. I went in the summer and didn't manage to get cheap tickets, and it was amazing, so much so that when I came home I bought the soundtrack :D

    I LOVE Wicked...
