Just a little film chat. We subscribe to LoveFilm and this weekends films were Legion and Brassed Off. Well Legion was . . . just . . . well... there are not words to describe it. I like Paul Bettany but I am not sure what has happened to him. Priest is coming out soon which looks like similar. Hmmm . . . Loved Brassed Off, I know its old but just never seen it. Touching and funny. Its one of my DH fave films and can see why.

Brassed Off was one of my dad's favourite films. He used to watch it over and over again. I've never actually seen it though.
I haven't seen any new films recently. That's one of the problems with doing so many questions. We watched Armageddon the other night but I have seen that hundreds of times (mainly because of Ben Affleck). Will need to make some time to watch some. Just checked Sky and there's not much on today. Still need to watch Avatar.

Just heard from my sister and the baby is fine. Going to see the scan photo later on. Feel quite tearful now actually, she sounded so relieved bless her.0

I think I've had a question breakdown. I only did 30 today.
I think my problem is question overload. My new plan is to up the amount to 200 questions a day but then that gives me 4 clear days that I can schedule in across the rest of the month. I will have to see how that goes for a bit - I'm hoping it will break the month up a bit more.
Anyway, I did something I haven't done for a while tonight - watched a new film. I watched Extraordinary Measures with Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford. It's a good film, very touching.
So, going to bed now so I don't start my new plan off feeling tired tomorrow.
Night everyone

Hey Lady,

Hi LP and everyone
Sorry I haven't been around for the past week. To cut a long story short, I got a slapped wrist from my 'supervisor' at 63336 because my percentages were way below what they should have been (won't go into the details and bore you all), so I have been working hard to get them back to what they should be.
It has mucked up my plans for £1,500 a bit - but it is still possible. By the end of the day, I will have 1,600 questions under my belt (£480), so doing another 200 a day will get me to my 5,000 question target. It's a really big target, but I need to get there. I have got so much to pay off next month and catch up on. I have £10 to my name at the moment and I can't carry on like this. I need to list some stuff on eBay over the next couple of days as I have some bills to pay this month and I haven't got enough to pay them.
I went to the hospital today and all is well there. My weight has rocketed to 8st 10lbs. I don't think I have ever weighed that much in my life. I have got a couple of new pairs of jeans as early birthday presents as my old ones were really getting uncomfortable.
Also, I finally watched Avatar. It wasn't as bad as I expected - I have seen a lot worse. I wouldn't be bothered about seeing it again though. I also watched the The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. One word - WEIRD!!!! Again though, I have seen worse.
Will post again later when I have hit 1,600.

Emzilla~I know how much you want to pay off your debt but I really think you need to cut yourself a bit of slack.
Please consider again going bankrupt.
It would make life so much easier for you & give you a lot of breathing space.

Thanks Lou. I know it would ease my money problems. No disrespect to anyone who has gone bankrupt, but I just couldn't do it.
