so is your write better?

Isabel was at home with my mum when I went to the cinema though should think about getting her 3d glasses :mrgreen:
Not really, it's still a bit achy...old age, but don't tell The Hood, she doesn't think I can get any older. Hehehe.

You know they do smaller children's sized ones, so I have to get a pair too, as the adult ones are too big :).

I absolutely agree. Someone ought to inform the powers to be at the Standard about this, it can't be right!
Especially as I can't remember the last time the Standard cost 50p, it used to be much less with a Standard Card.

What will you do if you pxc?
I would inform ES, and see what they say. I would add that you always got it for free and feel quite discriminated against now that you are not in London and have to p*y! ;)

pxc: you've seen 10 films already?! :confused: I thought I was doing well with three. BTW, I wrote that earlier post before I saw you... I'm not going mad :)!

Tilly: did Isobel see Tangled in 3D? Have you got her a pair of baby 3D glasses?! :mrgreen:
Welcome back Sunny Saver - missed your banter! :D
You need a wrist support, that may help, if you haven't got one already.
Aaah, baby 3D Glasses for Isabel - she would look so cool even prettyxcool ! :giggle:

There are 4 to choose from: Cool Caramel, Delicious Denim, Perfect Plum and Heavenly Heather Grey. (Limited edition)

The promotion starts today and ends 15/02/2011
Got all four the other night for my sister as she loves these except they aren't like the proper Nail Inc ones. Nail Inc ones are always named after a street. These have colours as names. Peeled off the diet coke label and the silver bit came off. :shifty: :giggle:

On the other hand, I'm now stuck with 8 bottles of diet coke. Eughh. Anyone want them?
I've got the Caramel one, its lovely - it goes on like the nails inc :confused: only had 2 diet cokes and have drank them.
