    Thanks INOD and CBC :A

    We went to see Interstellar. It was good, but not as good as the hype led me to believe. T'was a bit too sci-fi for me. Feeling it today though as we didn't get home until 12.15am.

    Had lunch with my friend and it only cost me £17 odd. We exchanged gifts and I got my tyres sorted beforehand too - took them an hour just to change two tyres though :mad:

    Back home now and trying to get some housework done.

    One of my friends walked out of Intersteller.
    Take care.

    I've never walked out of a movie - I paid for it so I'm watching it, no matter how bad the movie is!! ;) (although I think Lincoln would have tested my resolve if I ever saw that at the cinema - very boring film!!).

  • If, like me, you'd taken a relative in their 70s to see boogie nights assuming it was a follow on to Saturday night fever, you'd have walked out.

    :rotfl: That's hilarious (although I appreciate it probably wasn't at the time!!).

    Feel like I've been stuck in a rut the past couple of weeks. Really need to get moving and get some more paid off this council tax.

    I've still got the majority of my Christmas shopping to do, but I get paid on Wednesday, so I'm hoping that will cover the cost of that. So any extra amounts I can make will go towards the council tax. My aim is to get it below £1,000 by the end of the year. I think that's achievable.

    I've just redeemed £6 from Pinecone, so will pay that off once it hits my PayPal account.

    Take it that the shop is quite busy with all these discounts that keep popping up.

    Not as busy as I thought it would be. I'm in 2pm-9pm tomorrow, so we shall see how bad it is.
