    £1.78 post-cinema today.

    For those wondering why I seem to go to the cinema so often - don't worry! I do it all very :money: I have a Cinew*rld unlimited card which costs £16.90 a month. An adult ticket is something like £9.50 these days so I pay for 1.5 films a month and anything after that is free.

    It also gives you 10% off cinema food and drink but it's still expensive so I just grab a bottle of water and a small snack from Tosco on the way there. You can also use it to get discounts at Chiquitos and Frankie&Benny's.

    S also has a card, so we go to the cinema together a lot. Saying that, I used to go by myself all the time as well.

    Which is really my way of saying that if you see (or would like to see but it's cost-prohibitive so you don't) more than one film a month and have a cinew*rld near you, it's worth picking up a card and saving yourself some money - which you can put in the pot ;)

    Happy christmas potting everyone, and hugs and tea to those in need.

    Edit: forgot to mention that once you've had the card a year you get upgraded to the 'black' card which gives you a bigger discount on the cinema's food and drink - 20% I think. Which *almost* makes it worth occasionally treating oneself to a hotdog.

    Honey and smiffy, so sorry to hear bad news from both of you. There is never a good time to lose people, but it must be so much worse at Christmas.

    One more Christmas lunch for me before Friday :)

  • Good evening,

    I'm just popping in as I haven't been keeping up with anything this past week, I'm so disorganised this Christmas it will be a miracle if the DC get any presents:rotfl:

    I'm so sorry to hear of people's sad news, my thoughts are with you.

    Today, I managed to find 1p roadkill and have potted 4 x 20ps as well. I am going to do my Christmas food shop tomorrow, so will see if I have anything else to pot afterwards.

    I have just claimed £6 from pinecone this evening, so when it comes through I will be potting that.

    Hugs to all, have a good evening. :xmassmile
