    Can't remember when I last went to the cinema. I know I've seen 'The Passion' and Jurassic Park!

    The Passion always makes me cry. Do you mean the Mel Gibson one or an earlier version? I think the Mel Gibson one is fab. A lot of it is spoken in Aramaic and it really suits the style of the film. It doesn't make for easy watching mind you.

    Not sure I can do 3D either PAP. I've never seen a film in 3D (is that sad?) so just hope I don't scream and make a complete tit of myself if it gets scary.

    Oh yes, and since when did cinema tickets become so bloomin expensive. £10.80 - sheesh.

    If it gets too scary, just slip the glasses off. The colour'll go funny but at least the characters won't be jumping out at you.

    It was the Mel Gibson one Suzy. I thought a missed a lot - certainly wasn't the evangalistic tool he claimed it to be. It certainly made me think about the road to the cross though - we tend to whitewash a lot of the real pain out at times.

    That's a rather eclectic film selection Bookie!

    Got a bargain today - for Easter, the kids are allowed an egg up to the value of £5 or a present up to the value of £10 (shoot me now for agreeing to that when I had a bit more money last year!). Anyway, Ryan needed new trainers today, so we went to Sports Direct and they had Heelys (which he is desperate for) in the sale, reduced from £60 to £15...in Ryan's size AND in black, which is the colour he wanted.

    I said they were too expensive for Easter, and Ryan promptly produced £5 that he has saved up from pocket money and paid the difference. He is soooo excited, and I'm dead proud of him for doing the saving. It's the first time he's ever managed to save up and not impulse buy a rubbish toy before he got to his target.

    Well worth a tenner to help him learn how nice it is to have savings!

    Hi.

    How's everyone doing?

    Snags that's great and well done that boy! I have the same problem with DS - just buys rubbish (usually sweets) with his paper round money, but really wanted an iTouch so saved Christmas money, tips etc and paid for it himself. Hopefully it will also encourage him to look after it.

    Hiya Ste! :wave:

    Thanks Suze, I was so pleased with him for doing it, and for offering the money towards them.

    I've got Natasha a Peppa Pig jigsaw that was only £5, which I feel slightly guilty about but she wont know, and she will be over the moon with her present as she loves jigsaws and is obsessed with Peppa Pig. :D
