  • Can you put me down for £15 this week please.


    Actually, can you make that £20 for me instead.

    Harry Potter and the deathly hallows pt 1 comes out this week. Got tickets booked for 9am Fri morning, 1pm on Saturday and will probably be going again on Sunday as well:D

    Harry Potter t-shirt is washed and ironed, Griffindor scarf is waiting, and i bought Harry Potter cupcake toppers on Ebay, so will be making Harry Potter cupcakes on Thursday night!

    Oh and did i mention i have a Harry Potter tattoo??!!!

    yep, read the first book in 1 night when i was 11, staying over at my friend's house and been hooked ever since!
    Been to all the midnight releases for the books, and midnight showings for the films over the years, pretty annoyed cineworld isn't doing a midnight showing of deathly hallows part 1 this year. I'm thinking they will do one for part 2 in the summer, but show part 1 before it...well i'm hoping for that anyway!

    I know, i prefer the books too, but i like pointing out all the mistakes in the films! My best friend hates me when the new films just comes out, cause i drag her along. Shes not really into Harry Potter but i've made her watch them all so she kinda doesn't mind it now. But she hates me telling her this is wrong and that isn't right etc lol!!

    I am going to be crying the whole way through the film, so many deaths, especially at the start of it!

    Last week was a total didaster on spending as I got my driving licence back and spent a fortune on getting the car back on the road. (worth every penny though). You really dont want to know how much over my £15.00 I was.

    So we will start again this week with 15.00 as I have already put fuel in her.
  • Ok I'm red already.... ended up with a curry last night as I spent most of the weekend in bed and fancied something tastier than more jacket potatos. Then I've asked the doctor to sign me off for my last 3 days this week so I have to pay around £10 for my private certification. Bah. I wouldn't have asked for one but in my workplace if you are sick 3 times in 6 months you automatically get a disciplinary!

    Spent 95p on trashy magazines yesterday. Spent £10 on a prescription card today (but it's valid for the next few months so will end up saving me loads). So, one day in, I'm over by 95p already :(
