Bah!

So my plan to post every day this month fell on Day 15 *sulks* I completely forgot to post anything yesterday because I was side tracked by shiny, shiny TV shows. I currently watch US shows and, naturally, 4 of them are broadcast on Tuesday nights. Hmf. Have they no consideration for us TV viewers?!

I did go out and about yesterday, I had to do a big food shop so I went to the shiny new Sainsbury's in town. *winces* They might be lovely but I still spent about £15 more than I would have if I'd gone to Morrison's. So I don't think me shopping there will be a regular occurance. But now and again could be fun :)

Today, 'm pondering going to see a film. I finally got my Unlimited card from Cineworld and I need to start using it. This is by way of an experiment. If, at the end of the year, if I've at least broken even in terms of cost, I'll probably get the card again. If not, not harm, no foul. The big downside for me is you can't prebook tix online which is a pain in the arse. But we'll see how I go :) Certainly I'm hoping it'll encourage me to see more movies on the big screen.

Every day? I'd consider it a win if I could to remember to post one day every month.

Oooh, unlimited films for a year? If I didn't have four kids that would be awesome. But the damn brats expect me to feed them and spend time with them. I don't know why they can't just stay out in the yard like the cat.

Yeh, it sounds good but you have to pay up front and it works out you need to see 2 movies a month to just break even. So I dunno. However, the way prices are hiking, it could be a good investment :)

Given the way the quality of most movies seems to be heading down, though... But I won't deny seeing them in the theatre generally makes everything better, even the crappy ones.

It's the ice cream :D (Or whatever cinema snack floats your boat :D)

Mmm, bon bons (which were vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate when I was a kid) or Raisinettes (which always taste better at the theatre.)
