    the JP theme is one of my favourite pieces by John Williams. Although I always baulk when I realise how old the original film is.

    I've heard good things about the new film, will add it to my 'to watch' list.

    5 weeks until the hols SF, keep on keeping on xx

    I like Jurassic Park too, I remember seeing the original at the cinema, didn't know about a Jurassic World though. Will have a look into it for when my son is older (and has watched the film, won't find it too scary etc.). :)

    Film scores are somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine. :o

    Sorry to hear you've had another scary time with bump. At least they aren't taking any risks but I know it must be terrifying.

    We watched Jurassic World on Saturday and it was great! Don't like 3d though (is it just me?) so will be watching it again when it's on DVD.

    Hope the rest of your pregnancy is less eventful :)

    Another day done :) 23 working days to go!

    I tried a new recipe tonight with some reduced sea bass that we got at Mr Ms, and whilst the recipe worked okay, I made a mistake and covered my hand in boiling butter from the pan :( so that wasn't good and it's quite sore this evening. Definitely won't be doing that again!

    It's also not been a NSD for me, as I may have succumbed to the chicken nuggets and chips on offer in the canteen - they are so good :o £2.50 isn't too extortionate though, and it doesn't happen very often, so I'm not too bothered :p plus I've been to the dentist after work, though I didn't realise I wouldn't have to pay anything due to being preggers! Teeth are all fine too, so that's good :)

    Checked internet banking today and everything is looking good, which considering we're half way through the month is definitely a positive :) hoping to make our savings aim this month, though I need to not get carried away just yet :rotfl: by the end of the month, the ultimate dream fund will definitely be over £1,000 that much I can say.... :)

    Thank you - it is so scary when it happens :(

    We went in 2D as I don't like 3D at all!

    Thank you :)

    Oh Mr E, I did this every evening with both of mine - I cried when I overheard DD singing the same lullaby to DS when she was 4 :o
