    Harry Brown is a really good film, I loved it. An old man getting his own back against the chavs....bliss. If only it were real.

    Ames, don't bother with the 3D version, it's a waste of money. Whereas Sam Worthington (is that his name) in a skirt is definitely worth it ;)

    I'm trying to decide whether to complain about the shoes I bought at xmas. I've only been wearing them for a few weeks and the tip of the heel's already come off both of them, but they were only £8 so I can't really expect great quality, what do you think?
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I think you lose nothing by saying you are disappointed and don't think they are of suitable quality. At the moment you have broken shoes. If you complain and they say they are only made for a few wears, then all you have lost is a little bit of time. If they agree then you may get a MOC or something?

    Busy day for me - Dropped DD2 at the train stationn - she is going to visit her Dad (not before havibg an arguement about the dishwasher!) OH suggested going to Ikea- I was shocked to say the least! first hes doesn't do retail therapy at the best of times and secondly it is bank holiday and he hates doing anything cos everywhere is so busy - anyway wandered round Ikea for a while - be bought some bits for the house which was nice! - We then went to Mr T - after writing a meal plan and shopping list - only needed a few fresh bits - came home he put up a new cabinet in the downstairs loo - which meant I could rearrange the kitchen cupboards and clean them out in the process - so it has been a productive day! Tired now though!!!
