Her husband had asked her if she wanted to go see it, and said "No, we'll go see it with Colette on her birthday. It's traditional." Thing is, she lives in Bedford now, and since she didn't say... I went without her. *ahem*

I'll go again, happily.

Oh ok.. tis one of those things..

Yeah, but really, she lives at the other end of the country, she should've said. lol

Lol ...I guess its another excuse to see it 

Christmas Eve... are you excited? I prefer Christmas Eve to Christmas Day. Dunno why, its more magical maybe..

*nods* Christmas day itself can be a tad anti-climatic.

Very happy today... Although I may be in tears my the end of Merlin.

Merry Christmas xxx

Merry Xmas!

Hope you're having a good Christmas Day Hitch 

I enjoyed Shrek on tv - and it had Rumplestilkin in it 

I am indeed! Went to the local Indian, stuffed self silly, came home and watched Doctor Who.

How has your day been? Lovely pressies?

Yes thanks, I got spoiled with some lovely pressies especially from my brother Owen. For once Christmas telly was quite good too. Even enjoyed Dr Who... don't usually watch it but Richard E Grant was in it and I love him.

Hope you didn't eat too much - remember to leave some room for your Birthday cake tomorrow  

Doctor Who was lovely. I do suspect those children killed the old governess though. lol

There shall not be cake. There may be belgian waffles and dwarfs. *nods*

Awww no cake? Mind you Belgian waffles sound lovely 

Unless I bake one myself... I'm fussy about food. People have a habit of putting stuffs in cakes. Jam, cream, too thick icing...

Aye jam in cakes is bleeeuchh.

Whats your favourite type of cake?  The google image fairies might want to know for tomorrow 

Not very helpful for the google fairies when I say madeira is it? lol

lol they're on it. Any more special requests?

*Settles down to watch How To Train Your Dragon with mince pies and milk*

I'm watching that too. I love Toothless the dragon.

 Good innit

Brilliant.

That was cracking. Who knew dragons were such wee puddytats.

Tim Burton film coming up - hope its better than the two star rating it got. And it does have Jonny Depp in it... not a fan 

It's not great... Sat through it though... Depp/Burton have produced worse. Much worse.

Watching a Blackpool thing now. Expecting the Tumbleweeds any moment.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HITCH!!!  

Special guests are arriving...

Bearing cake and gifts:

As you can see its a BIG cake  Have a lovely Birthday Hitch!! Hope you get spoiled  xxx

EPIC!

Thank you so much... a lovely selection of guests. All kilts and Cummerbunds (sp?), I don't know what to say.

And the cakes! The cakes! I am now completely stuffed with cake. Would you like some tea and madeira?

I have has a nice day. There were dwarves. *nods*

Well the two of them had to clean themselves up a bit - it said formal attire on your Birthday invitation. Hope you had a great day  

There were dwarves? Intriguing...*munches some Madeira cake*

Oh b.t.w. do you still have your hotmail email account - the dragonny one? Check it 

Oh I shall! I haven't been getting phone email alerts recently. (yesterday after the cinema, a rebooted gmail said I had 97(!?) alerts )

Yes, they do scrub up well.

Oh my gods! I don't think Gagajoyjoy have a emoticon to cover that!

Thank you so very, very much... wow.

Oh give over  its tiny...   Happy Birthday Hitch !  

Believe me I spent so much more this year on people I don't even like.

Also... as I got rid of my awful community nurse who usually gets a present... there was £££'s to spare.

Enjoy! 

It's still a major thank you. MAJOR. *nods and hugs*

Glad you got rid of the horrible community nurse, let's hope if there's a new one she's much, much better.

Don't mention it - sorry it didn't reach you on your Birthday 

YES! No more nutty nurse  

Now tell me about these dwarves...

Same Dwarves as the last time. *nods* Kili, Fili, Oin, Gloin, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Nori, Dori, Ori and Thorin Oakenshield. (*ahem* You did ask. )

My friends weren't thrilled with the movie... too many added bits. I have pre-warned them about the added "romantic sub-plot" in the next couple of films. I noticed things that I didn't spot the first time. I enjoyed it still.

See this whole thing about the 48 frames per second instead of just the 24? Supposed to make it look "too real"... I couldn't see any difference. *ahem*

Well at least it didn't spoil it for you 

Course not. I enjoy many things dwarfish at the moment. (Discworld, Team 7 as well as the Middle-Earth variety. *nods*)

Thats enough to keep you going *nods*

We are watching The Hunger Games today... Mum was horrified at how young some of the kids at the reaping were.

How are you keeping?

Ohh the Hunger Games... I wanna see that, please give me your verdict. I really like the actress as she was in an amazing film called Winter's Bone.

I'm keeping ok thanks. Just got my New Years shopping delivered from Tesco... am so sick of turkey so I went for party food and snacks to keep me going to 2013,

How are you? When do you have to go back to work?

It is good. Very good. *nods* if possibly read them first (all three, some book 2 stuff is shown in the first movie.) I got £15 off the whole series on kindle, quick reads too.

I don't like turkey, but having a similar feeling with chocolate. Party foods are a great idea, mini sausage rolls are the greatest.

I'm alright. Technically the 7th, but doing overtime on the 5-6th, every little helps.

Incase you were wondering... you've got me Howl's Moving Castle and Brave for my birthday.

Hmmm book or film first... probably film as my attention span isn't great a.t.m. 

Glad you got some Birthday stuffs...  Enjoy 

Lol my freezer is full of mini everything - had the mini pies last night,, steak and ale and chicken and mushroom - deelish. Oh well tis the season to eat crappy stuff, 

Film it is then, but they are still making the second one and who knows when the third'll be out.

Mini foods are better than normal sized foods. Fact!

Steak and ale pies are surprisingly good... you don't taste the ale at all.

Crappy, yes. I nearly cried when I looked at all the sweets I got this year for xmas, I'm not really sweet-toothed and there's loads to get through... put on nearly half a stone as it is.
