    Our daughter's been at Brownie camp so we've been watching lots of films...Dunkirk, The Big Sick, 47 Metres Down, Hounds of Love and War for the Planet of the Apes :cool:

    She's had a canny weekend for Brownie Camp ;)

    What's Dunkirk like, I quite fancy watching that?

    I wouldn't take a gold pig to watch Planet of the Apes, I remember watching that when I was a little girl and I was horrified, ugly things they are and monkeys aren't meant to ride horses :rotfl:

    Have you seen Time of Our Lives with Joan Collins or Girls Trip?
    They are both meant to be very funny, we will be watching a few DVDs or downloads in the caravan soon. :)

    Have you won owt nice lately McLennan?

    I don't think it's the masterpiece people are saying it is, but I would recommend it.

    Not seen those - Time of our Lives looks quite good, but Girls Trip looks appalling!

    Yep - tickets to the Star Wars Identities exhibition at the O2, a chocolate hamper, Wonder Woman merchandise, an Astonish cleaning bundle, a few DVDs, a couple of Frubes things...plus loads of books!

    Just been for a nosey, there is an awful lot this month :eek:

    47 pages at 20 comps per page = 940 comps ending tomorrow

    And that my friends is the exact reason why I don't end date.

    Even being on page 74 at the moment I still have less than 100 comps to do that end tomorrow. ;)

    i always think i should try a different way, but i just seem to feel comfortable (sadist!) this way, i dont just end date, on quieter days i do newly posted ones too

    end date is crazy but it matches my personality! lol

    i am not just doing these on here, i nip over to competition database too and have a look if i have missed any not on here!

    you will be glad to know that i have entered those that o wanted to enter... i didnt get to enter any dailies today tho
