noooo....

It was one of those great moments...my 2 credit cards and my store card were completely paid off, cause for celebration. I borrow a large (very large) pair of scissors and prepare for the ceremonial cutting up of the closed account cards. The moment I'd longed for. The first cut felt so good...then a sudden realisation.
It's the wrong card.
(lessons for today children...never give Amy scissors {Andrea learnt that one}, or credit cards {my bank learnt that one} or store cards {that one goes to that most evil of evils - Topshop})

arty farty

Me and Karen came over all arty farty recently and took advantage of the Times offer of free tickets to the London Film Festival. We went to see a Romanian film called The Death of Mr Lazarescu by a director caller Piui (possibly spelt differently!) who was there to introduce the showing. It's an awfully good, and very moving, film about an old guy who gets ill, and the absolute failure of the national health system. It started off sad, and got gradually sadder for over two hours..then it ended, and nobody knew quite what to say apart from, possibly, thank goodness for the NHS! Definitely a recommended film, but not if you're in the mood for light entertainment.
