  • thank you, we are trying harder to watch stuff
    i gave millers crossing to my mum as we watched it and wouldnt watch it again
    hanna and wrecked are earmarked to pass on

    watched three musketeers, lord of the rings (again) iron man and columbiana over the last week

    even gave ali g the movie to a CS which was probablly unfair as they sell them for 20p so it will probably be sitting around forever.:o

    also made a start finally on watching prison break we have the complete set i bought it for DH a couple of christmases ago and wed never found time to watch any, but tonight we are on episode 3:T

    Mrs-moneypenny you are definately showing me up! I've not watched any dvds I own for ages. Though I did watch "The Vow" from Lovefilm which was excellent. I am also watching "Once Upon a Time" on lovefilm instant which I'm really enjoying but is not helping me clear any space!

    Prison break is a box set that is on my to watch pile as well - I've heard very good things about it.
    No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.
    Target for 2018 = 7/21
    No more buying DVDs ? 2018 target 27/52

    I watched No Country For Old Men yesterday as well. Pretty good indeed, but had to watch the end twice to get it properly.

    this is good to hear, as this is languishing in my pile somewhere.

    Yes it is free - its just series one - don't know if there's been any more. I missed it on tv as well but I'm really glad I've been able to start watching it now :D

  • It's a while since I've watched an unwatched DVD as I've been watching Big Bang Theory again. Tonight I'm sat watching Chicken Little to knock it of my 'to watch' pile. So far it's not the best Disney film but I'm a fan of the princesses and Winnie the Pooh so it doesn't really measure up!

    I think I only have 4 episodes of series 2 of castle left to watch now - I've been partly watching it on Lovefilm instant so I'm not sure which disk i'm on but I think it's disk 6 (the last one). Thoroughly enjoying it and can't wait to start the next series
