  • Gem we only really have vue around here and its £7.40 per viewing. There are other cinemas around town but its easier to go to the one opposite where I work. Ohhh I love hairspray too. I have the new one on dvd, I must get around to buying the old version too. I never saw that one :rolleyes:

    Right cakes are done. Finished them at 9pm... and now I feel like I havent had a day off work. Never mind made £25 :D However I need a new mobile phone :mad: my phone has been having a funny 5 min for ages but as I never use it I didnt worry about replacing it. Today however it took me £3 credit and 20 phone calls to phone my mum :( Also with no bt I really do need to buy one. So I have about £100 to buy a new phone... but we shall see will look for a cheap one

    Gah!! My Vue is only £5.50 for an adult!!!

    You shouldn't need to spend £100 for a phone, £30-£40 should be plenty, especially as you don't use it that often.

    Hey PaP - how about Ebay for the phone? You could get a brand new boxed one for a lot less than £30, depending on what you are looking for :)

  • Hi pap xxx just wanted to say i rarely post but always enjoy reading your diary xx keep up the good work!! xxx you should be able to get a nice phone for alot less than £100, there are some great ones around! xxx
  • raph ~ I know rip off isnt it :( thats one reason I like to wait untill it comes out on dvd :) Regarding the phone I will only be spending about £40 but if one takes my fancy thats a bit more I have that little extra I can spend.

    sea ~ I did think about ebay but its mostly hit and miss and I dont relly want to take the chance. I have spotted one for £40 and I dont think thats too bad :)

    poppy ~ Hiya :D glad I entertain people. I love my diary. Yep a nicer phone will be nice I will see what I find :D

    I'd recommend a Nokia 6300. It's so easy to use (most Nokias are) and great looking. I love mine, when I get off my contract and go PAYG I'm not buying a new one, I'm keeping this one.
