The 'No More Buying DVDs Until I Have Watched the Ones I Already Own' Thread

yellowduck_2

Mercifully dvds are not a weakness of mine, I'm a books and toiletries girl, but I do understand their allure in that they are marketed in much the same way with all those bulk buy offers. However I will confess to having a few that I have bought on impulse and never watched so this thread has encouraged me to do exaclty that especially as I can't afford to go out. I could have a movie night and get stuck into these films. To be super economical I could do home made munchies. Last DVD i watched was "the Take", based on a Martina Cole book, it was great, much much better than the book. Good luck to you all, will pop in and see how you are doing!

I never got the chance to watch my DVD last night, and I can't tonight or tomorrow, so I will try Saturday night instead.

Hi Mrs Moneypenny, wish I could find out when Damages is back but there seems to be nothing online.

damages is back on this wednesday night at 10.45pm on BBC1.

i know they had to sort of explain why he was alone in his old age but i found the montage at the beginning where his life passed by in phots and snatched memories very sad (especially the nursery planning scenes)

We did give 6 dvds back to a friend yesterday who wed borrowed off

Cheers for that. Have set the V+ box. Maybe that should be my challenge instead - to try and delete 2-3 hours worth of TV a night. Last night we were really stuck for something to watch so watched one hour of Heroes (am loving this Season just as much as the others and am glad to see Surinder (sp??) back) followed by Delia through the Decades (one from the 70's randomly recorded some time ago) and How to Look Good Naked (another random one about women with disabilities - wished I'd taped the series cos I love Gok).

Does anyone else find that, since joining this challenge/reading these threads, they look at DVDs in the stores more? I keep heading for that aisle at Sainsbury's and I don't usually buy them because I know I don't watch them! x

I must admit to going for a little walk round the shops on my lunch break yesterday and looking at a few, but I didn't really have any desire to buy any.I think that's quite good. *Pickle puffs up chest proudly*
