OK here goes:

[STRIKE]1. Sort internet banking for ISA[/STRIKE] Been putting this off for AGES and took all of 5 mins!
2. [STRIKE]Photograph[/STRIKE] and list items on Turbolister ready to be listed on Thursday Not got to grips with turbo lister at all so going to have to just list them 'live' tomorrow, only 12 items though so shouldn't be tooo bad!
[STRIKE]3. Finally sort out recycling two mobiles[/STRIKE] Sort of, I've done one, but to maximise the cashback I have to go back as a returning customer with the second rather than send them both at once
4. Finish and post the nine Dooyoo reviews I’ve been half working on forever
5. Have a proper look at Poolie’s spreadsheet and car figures – MOT looming
[STRIKE]6. Sort Mount Paperwork[/STRIKE] Conquered!
7. Find library book on Photoshop so I can play with my new software
[STRIKE]8. Father’s Day present[/STRIKE]
9. Find cheapest travel insurance
10. Gym at least twice - one more to go - and [STRIKE]restart 200 sit-ups thing[/STRIKE]

Not doing brilliantly. If I can get a couple of reviews posted today I'll be pleased but unfortunately work's picking up majorly so don't have much time.

All your gym talk has encouraged me to go to Body Conditioning at lunch time - scary and horrible but brilliant! I also forgot to put my name down for the fencing taster session but emailed today and he said I'm first reserve. En Garde!! Hope I get to do it, I'll be like Dog-Tanion!

I got My Sister's Keeper from RiSi a while back but not read it yet, and because of my obsessive compulsive must-read-book-before-seeing-film condition I guess I'll wait for the DVD. Free tickets are brill though Dinah, the only ones I ever see are for the stuff you don't wanna see! Speaking of which Birdie, my OH is taking us to see Transformers at the weekend too, he gave me a monologue about them at the weekend! I can't complain though I'm always taking him to see foreign films where nothing really happens.

I didn't really mind the first Transformers so I'm not too bothered about seeing the new one, I had tried to get IMAX tickets but they're sold out for the entire opening week (although I did see that Star Trek is still showing but I daren't mention it to OH as he'll be begging to go!) so we'll have to settle for the crummy Odeon. I'll have to get some popcorn to make up for it!
I hope you get into the Fencing class Tete! That'll be really cool!

I offered to go to transformers with NIM, since he offered to go to the new Sandra Bullock one with me, but he said no, he'd rather wait and download it as there is no point paying for two films we can't really afford and he'd rather see me enjoy myself than him!

Gym-d twice this week, but planning on going tomorrow. Far too stiff today. I thought pain was a sign you'd overdone it and adamaged something, not that it was working!?

No is it not something to do with the muscles splitting themselves when you work them, and this is how they grow bigger, and it hurts when they first do it? Something like that I think? Not very good at explaining myself! Body Torturing in 20 mins! Eeep!

New Sandra Bullock movie? Do I smell a chick flick??? Need to know more!

Dinah93

Lol yep, chick flick. 'The Proposal' I think its called, she convinced her assistant to marry her so she doesn't get deported, que misunderstandings, meeting his family and general brainless funnyness with a bag of pick and mix.

Something like that! I remember the man at the gym explaining it, but I think I tried to stop listening when he said 'and so you tear your muscles...' Anyhoo, that's why you shouldn't exercise every day, because your muscles heal and develop on your rest days.

I'm not really into Transformers, but there's not much else on at the mo. Luckily all the Oscar-bait has just come out on DVD so I can catch up on the ones I missed at the cinema.

Birdie85

'The Proposal' has been noted! You can't go wrong with a Rom Com, although OH ruins them by asking when the big misunderstanding and fall out (complete with montage of 'time apart') will happen and acts all surprised when they end up together at the end!
I've got loads of 'Oscar Bait' to watch! Want to watch Benjamin Button, Changeling, The Reader and Revolutionary Road. I think OH will have to go out and leave it to me, he's really not into 'thinkies', he just likes loud noises and bright colours!

Aha! So I get tomorrow off?! That class is such hard work I can only assume it's fantastic! I feel great for the min but I know I won't be able to get out of bed in the morning!

I've seen all those films Birdie apart from Revolutionary Road (which I'd forgotten about but really want to see, thanks for the reminder!) and I really enjoyed them all. I actually think Brad Pitt's a terrible actor but he was really good in BB and I loved the other two! Transformers at the weekend though *sigh*

poddle911

Bravo Tete! Was it very tough? I've got to get my bum in gear and do something today to keep up my 3x a week quota

I haven't seen Revolutionary Road or Benjamin Button - am quite looking for to the guilty pleasure of BB, but not sure about the former as I was utterly depressed after I read the book... Still haven't got round to watching There Will Be Blood from last year either!
