  • Raph ~ Thanks yeah sorted now. At least it will save me quite a bit of money too :) Weigh in is tommorow but I wouldnt hold your breath :rotfl: Congratulations on your continued weightloss, you are fab :D

    sarah ~ No not really quite under the weather this end of the week. Very tired so sleeping when I get in from work and hence up at this type of hour :( Anyways off work tommorow so going to catch up on sleep.

    Money wise doing fine. Bills ~ £60.78 going out £36.00 ~ left £24.78. Spends ~ £239.07 going out £15.21 ~ left £223.86. Need nothing except to pay the bt bill and £50 argos so looking good. There is a movie I would like to see this month/next so will have that to pay for but thats all. I am hoping I will have £100.00 to squirrel away for holiday before payday. Nothing much happening really :D did go to ikea today as i was going to get a new desk but they were all too deep but I did buy a new storage box.

    So that me, hope you are all ok :A

  • Gem I love the movies however with a very big shortage of friends to go with I rarely go. However the one I want to go and see is wall.e. Its actually a childrens film but I have loved seeing the trailers etc so I have to go and see it. I also like the look of wanted, however its one of those movies that if I dont like I tend to switch it off, so I will wait untill I can rent that :D Ohhh and my brother wants to see kung fo panda hehe. Its lovely going to the cinema in summer, reminds me of my school holidays :rotfl:

    I'm reading a book on sleep at the moment, it very interesting. The best thing might be to have a nap when you get home, then get up again for the evening.
    The nap shouldn't be longer than about 15-20 minutes as after that you go into deep sleep (REM) and it's harder to wake up.
    15-20 minutes is ample to refresh you and not spoil you nights sleep.

    Gem I love the movies however with a very big shortage of friends to go with I rarely go.

    I always think movies are a one person thing, if I am going to sit in silence watching a film for 2 hours, I won't be talking to a friend anyway!
    I want to go see Kungfu Panda :D

    I agree with that, I love going to the cinema on my own! When I used to work even weirder shifts than I do now, I regularly went to late night showings of stuff on my own, while Stu and Ryan were tucked up in bed asleep. It was great - I could choose exactly what film I wanted to see, and I didn't have to spend a fortune on popcorn and drinks!

    I'd do it more often if only I had the energy! :rotfl:

    I wish I had the guts to go to the cinema on my own but always afraid of seeing people I know :o

    PAP - I want to see that too! Hopefully going to take my niece but depends when it's playing. I really don't see her and my nephew enough :( I'm interested in Wanted but can't sit through films like that in the cinema, not sure why. I really want to see Mamma Mia, Dark Knight and Hancock too :D

    The only reason I would worry about seeing people I know is in case they want to sit with me!

    I am really not very social, am I??? :rotfl:

  • Sorry all, posted and ran, busy making cake orders at the momment :rolleyes:

    raph ~ I couldnt sleep for 15min though I have to sleep for longer. Yesterday I came in about 5.30pm and by 6pm I was asleep. Didnt wake up untill 8.20pm though :mad: Ohhh I love going to the cinema on my own too but its a bit weird.

    snaggs ~ :rotfl: I do agree with it being much more cheaper on your own. At the moment the price have just gone up £8 to see one movie! Then when you go with other people and add on drinks etc its really pricey :rolleyes:

    gem ~ Yep wall.e is a must and I shall be going. Sorry to hear you dont see your nephew/neice as often as you want too. Thats the problem when everyone has busy lives though. Mamma mia I have been looking at but not sure if I would go.

    Maybe we should all go to see one of the movies one night and then we can come back and review it here :rotfl:

    right back to cake making :rotfl:
