    Afternoon all

    Spiderman was a good film :). I preferred it to the Sam Raimi version and Andrew Garfield is kind of hot :heartsmil. Might be seeing it again on Saturday as my sister wants to see it and she hasn't been to the cinema in over a year. She's so excited that I didn't have the heart to tell her I've seen it :o.

    Just ordered a £15 Love 2 Shop voucher from a survey website.

    I've done loads of work today and I'm knackered, so will have an evening off tonight. OH is away with work, so I'm going to do some washing (thrilling) and watch a movie.

    Morning Emz

    You're a busy bee aren't you.

    I think watching the film again may be something you have to "endure" .... I mean watching hot men is a task we all have to do occasionally. ;)

    Thinking about the family comments - I know where you are coming from here, a few years ago I used to think my OH's family were from a different plantet - I still do occasionally lol.

    Keep your chin up

    Hi DF :)

    Haha, have to admit I'm not totally against seeing the movie again. This time I won't have to concentrate on the storyline and can just ogle the hot man!! ;)

    OH still hasn't spoken to his parents. I think this will go on for quite a while. The only thing I have said is that if something happens to one of them (his dad has health problems and is getting on a bit) then he will regret it if he can't say goodbye. Luckily I was always close to my dad and got the chance to say goodbye and told him that I loved him before he died.

    Thanks Beccie. I hope you get another voucher.

    Just noticed that they do £5 vouchers for some places, so I might try and get another one before they go.

    Been looking around for a birthday present for my sister (not until September). She wants a new handbag and I was thinking of getting this one:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Catwalk-Collection-Alice-Shoulder-Bag/dp/B004TABKL0/ref=sr_1_62?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1342698095&sr=1-62

    Obviously as it's on Amazon, I'll be able to get it free with survey vouchers.

    I'm so angry right now. My OH has announced that it's unlikely he'll be able to pay any rent next month. He basically has gotten into trouble with his car loan and needs to pay the whole lot off next month (around £3k). He was counting on his bonus to clear it, but he now thinks that won't be enough. That's what the fight with his parents was about - they wouldn't pay it for him.

    He has offered to move out, but what's that going to achieve?? I'm still going to have to pay the rent and bills whether he is here or not.

    Maybe it's a good job that I'm not going to the cinema on Saturday. Need to work my butt off now and save money :mad:
