    We are giving you the chance to win 2 tickets to an early preview of the film on Tuesday, 25th June in central London @ 6pm. Not only that, but the screening will be introduced by the star of the film James Franco, star and director Seth Rogen and co-director Evan Goldberg!

    Thanks to Martin Lewis my daughter won this competition she is getting ready to travel to London - to a posh hotel in Soho :D:D the screaming from her bedroom this morning probably woke the neighbours up.

    It's not been going well recently with the overpaying. So all I have to add is an overpayment of £1.60 by rounding up regular payments. It's better than nothing I suppose. Really must get more focused :(
