  • Thank you both!

    Circus is one of daredevil nature (no animals), so should suit my three boys!

  • It could only happen to me!

    The circus, which I had purchased tickets for and made specific reservations through Group0n for today's show....

    Does not arrive in town until next wednesday :mad::mad:.

    Group0n are helpfully closed for the Easter break until Tuesday. I've messaged the circus directly on their Facebook page and it looks like it can be rearranged so we can still use the tickets but I'm fuming!! Wasted about 15-20 miles worth of diesel to get there and back, and had disappointed kids to boot. I will definitely be complaining.

    Ended up at the cinema instead which was good but an added expense. We saw 'Home'.

  • PLMBL that is terrible, I would kick up a stink with Groupon, especially as it was a kids activity. poor mites. I hope you all enjoyed the cinema, I've seen the film advertised and it looks good.

  • So, Yay to the lottery win :T:j But Booo to the wasted petrol and disappointed kids :(:mad:. How was Home.. we'd like to go and see that too? Not sure if they've already shown all the good bits on the adverts though, they have a tendency to do that and then I end up all disappointed that it wasn't as good as I thought it would be :rotfl: yes I realise the audience they're aiming for is kids :rotfl: but I do love a good cartoon :D

    Best thing I have seen in ages was Paddington.
    A friend had DVD last week.

  • Beanie I loved Paddington too! We went to see it at the cinema but I've watched it a couple of times since on the andr0id box. Love the bathroom bit!!:rotfl:.

    DF(w), I must admit I was worried about that too, particularly as for the first 20mins or so all the jokes/funny bits were ones I'd seen before in the trailers. However, it turned out to be really good and we all enjoyed it. There was a trailer shown for another Pix@r film due out soon called 'Inside Out' and that looks brilliant!

    Cheers Penny, I will be giving them what for on Tuesday!! Xx
