    I know Wendz, that is a lot, thats why i think i may wait for a year, and then get the Mini. I am looking at a new car tho, maybe something a lil bit nicer but not as much as a Mini.

    Yep me too, i am a great fan of the books, think i read all of them in about a week. The film is really different tho i agree, still loved it. Luke wasn't the same as the books i thought.

    Had a very productive afternoon today, i done ALL the ironing (the pile was massive - i hate ironing) hoovered the whole apartment, changed our bed, dusted, cleaned en-suite and main bathroom. Then my OH went off to work, so i watched Shopaholic movie - which i LOVED, was just as good 2nd time round.
    I'm just about to put on the next movie - not sure which one i should put on though. OH is at work till 4am so don't have to worry about him coming home telling me to turn this rubbish chick flick off :D

    I have also just wrote out my holiday list, what I'm going to wear everyday (i like to be organised), what i still need to buy, what i need to pick up from my folks house before we go on Friday and have done airport parking quotes, cheapest i can find is £26 for 4 days, which seems reasonable.

    A very productive day indeed hun! I havent seen Shopaholic, but if you've seen it 2 times it must be good! And i think we like the same kind of programs/films. seeing you like the Hills and Newlyweds :)

    £26 for 4 days does seem very good! Is it parking at the actual airport or do they drive it off to somewhere near by??

    I am a big lover of American shows, especially The Hills. Do you watch The City - the one with Whitney? My OH thinks I'm such a sado for liking these shows, but i just get hooked. Just started watching the new season of One Tree Hill on E4.

    No its parking near by. We have always used those sorta places as we find it just as convenient. They are always there waiting for you when you arrive back, and it never takes more than 10 minutes to get back to your car. Parking at the actual airport is more expensive.

    Oh cool on the parking, its just ive seen airport parking on watchdog where they take the car off and park it in building site type places!! Where its not secure at all! Did you ever see that?? You should have a google and make sure you dont use that company!

    You sound like you have loads of the same tastes as me. I love The Hills etc, don't have sky though :-(

    Same as my OH Maria, when ever i watch The Hills he always secretly enjoys it, but then near the end he will say "turn this rubbish off now". He likes Heidi - obviously just for looks, not for personality. I like Lauren, she's who'd I'd like to be if i had to be on The Hills :D I wish for that kinda life style.

    No never seen that on Watchdog chick - we always use Purple Parking and they always been brilliant. We were a bit worried first time tho because you just have to get out your car, leave the keys in the engine and walk away, luckily we only had my OH's corsa at the time so we weren't that worried, but if we had his Type R then if you shut the door with the keys in it would lock - bit silly. Unfortunately because my OH now has a brand new white BMW i have to drive my KA to Heathrow - I'm going to make OH drive as don't fancy driving to the airport as never done it before.

    OH and I are just going to lounge today, he has revision to do for an exam and its a big exam so he's very stressed bless him. I'm going to make a roast i think, and maybe some cupcakes this afternoon. I also still have one more blockbuster dvd to watch before they go back tomorrow.

    I love Lauren too, she is my idol hehe.

    My OH is meant to be doing some reading but he is fast asleep, he will probably be ok later.

    Well i was a naughty girl today and spent money :rolleyes: i couldn't find anything in Bluewater last night for holiday, so had a little look round the town today and went in Primark and bought some really nice denim shorts for £9, which i thought was a bargain as i have seen others very similar in Miss Selfridge/River Island for £25+, i also bought a few other bits for holiday and all came to £21 :T you've got to love Primako!

    OH and I are just watching last dvd from Blockbuster before they go back at 10pm.

    2 more days before 37 degrees in Madrid. We're going to go see Real Madrid play whilst were there, really looking forward to that, get to see my boy Cristiano ronaldo, i have a bit of a thing for him, actually, a BIG thing :rotfl:

    Right, just off to start dinner! Chicken Fajitas - yum!!!
