After a day looking after Alice, it was quite nice not to worry about cooking dinner as we went to the Nizam for a curry. Then it was home to watch Crazy Stupid Love. It had a couple of twists in it and was a good light hearted watch. A nice way to end the week.

Thanks Carrie ;o)

 On Tuesday, Carrie posted about her 10 recommendations on Netflix and asked if we had Netflix.  Well, I'm the first to admit that I'm not up to date with all the latest things so I went and asked Hugh if he knew.  Turns out Netflix has recently become available in the UK and Hugh had just signed up and thought it was great.

Yesterday Hugh signed me up to Netflix. He signed up through his Xbox so he can watch the films/programmes on his TV and he signed us up through the Wii so we can watch on our TV. It can also be watched on iPad, iPhone, I would imagine iPod Touch and your computer. Am I impressed? Very!! You have a great selection to choose from and the streaming is fantastic, no delays!  At the moment we've signed up for a month's free trial but if we decide to stay with Netflix it's a really reasonable monthly fee.  Have a look and see for yourself.

I really enjoy a feel good movie and last night I watched "A lot like love", I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed it. It made me laugh in a couple of places and at the end of the movie I was in a happy place ;o)  

Thanks for telling us about Netflix, Carrie. Anyone else going to try Netflix?

99 Flake

Today, although there was a cool breeze, we had "99 Flake" ice creams from the ice cream van this afternoon. Emily and I sat outside to eat them but it's now getting cooler so I've come inside. Quiet day today, spent the morning catching up on ironing from the last week. It took a while but it's finally done and I can forget about it again. Still trying to decide what we're going to have for dinner tonight, we're down to just Jon, Emily and I as Hugh is working and Claire's going to Craig's. I guess this is what happens as your children grow up ;o).

.

Emily and I are hoping to see either The Blind Side (which Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for) or Dear John tomorrow. Have any of you seen either? Are they any good? We tend to wait for movies to come out on DVD but seeing as Emily is still on holiday this week we thought it might be good to actually go to movies for a change! Will let you know if we get there ;o)
