Nope...at least, show the movie on Friday or Saturday nights, so I don't feel bad for making her miss it, or worse, letting her stay up. If she doesn't get up on time tomorrow, she's grounded from the TV until Saturday.

I had considered seperates, but considering the additional expense I don't think I would get any additional wear..

Originally Posted By smedley Oooh no I wouldn't be able to wear it for easter lol! It would have to wait till after the wedding (I know I'm mad) also I think I'm working Easter (hmm must check that)... I'm edging towards the patterned one because I think it might be more flattering/forgiving, although I prefer the cut of the green one.. I guess it will be an into the shop and try on affair.. I will report back after I make a purchase..

Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x That's the rule, usually, but we got home at 7, so I figured 1/2 hour before bed, but I didn't know there was a movie on. *If* she doesn't wake up on time tomorrow morning (I usually have to fight her anyway, even when she is in bed at 8, which is her normal bedtime), she can't watch TV until the weekend, so nights will be spent either reading, or playing her Leapster.

Originally Posted By smedley Ahhh Calista sounds a lot like me lol! We'll see on the purchasing both dresses and bringing them home thing, I know a lot of people who do that, but I have a tendency to not get to taking things back, and that's a lot of dollars of dresses lol! I always think it's kind of odd that Disney start movies at 8 during the week though, surely 6 would be a better option??
Originally Posted By smedley <One word, Smedley...Earplugs! They work wonders.> See I can't deal with the whole things in my ears stuff, so it wouldn't work for me, DH does suggest it.. Also what would happen then if they stopped me hearing the alarm going off... Nice to see you back by the way..
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x smedley, what about a noise machine? one that plays different sounds, like ocean, etc, to drown out the noise? or even, a big box fan, just point it towards the wall if it'd be too cold. You just need white noise

Originally Posted By knightnfrees No, I meant feed 'em to the dog...a whole jug of 'em. (wink wink) And nice to be back...beit for a short break.

Originally Posted By smedley PP I do run a box fan in the summer, and you're right the white noise does help block out the nasty gardeners etc, but it's a bit on the cold side for that here at the moment. I had considered one of the noise machines, I guess I should look into how much they are... I'm thinking feeding the ear plugs to the cute puppy would be wrong
