Patsy how lovely - I’m envious- have a lovely time.
Oh the irony lol!It might be cheaper to sit in a warm theatre than to sit at home with the central heating on.
you lucky thing! I bet it was excellent. I love a bit of tap!!!I was at the theatre last night to see Anything Goes at The Barbican Theatre in London. I would have expected theatre to be suffering but it was packed. The seat I was in in the stalls was worth £90. I didn't pay that as the night I should have gone was cancelled at the last minute due to sickness. They rescheduled and upgraded me from the upper gallery. And it wasn't full of tourists, the Barbican is off West End and a bit out of the way. No-one was cutting back on drinks in the bar although I brought my own M&S mojito and a plastic glass!
Well on LBC this morning they were talking about Warm Banks as well as Food Banks! Councils will be using libraries, art galleries and community spaces for people to gather instead of heating their own homes.It might be cheaper to sit in a warm theatre than to sit at home with the central heating on.
On QVC Facebook, it has been announced the heated slanket is coming soon.
No. they are very economical, bought a Q one from Q for OH, then one for me from Aldi (much cheaper, obviously, and free PP).That’s an odd idea because it would cost a fortune to plug it in to warm up.
I've seen a couple of the streamed performances at the cinema, certainly a lot cheaper than seeing it live at the Royal Opera House! I saw Madam Butterfly at the London Coliseum and it was beautiful (and sad!). Hope you enjoy it.We are going to the cinema in a few weeks to see Madame Butterfly streaming live from The Royal Opera House. It didn't cost £40 for us both and it's a beautiful cinema with large seats and plenty of room.
It was fantastic particularly with the upgraded seat, I'm usually up high. It's such a happy show and the tap routine at the end of Act 1 is amazing.you lucky thing! I bet it was excellent. I love a bit of tap!!!
I go to the theatre a lot and the last few things I have seen have been very full if not totally packed. And that’s on a midweek matinée, so the popular evening shows must be rammed.
There was a story earlier this year that a pensioner was riding on (free) buses to keep warm. During the Jubilee celebrations in London Cliff Richard was doing something riding on a bus round London - Private Eye magazine used his picture with the caption "sad story of elderly man riding on a bus to keep warm"It might be cheaper to sit in a warm theatre than to sit at home with the central heating on.
I'm looking at you too Dr Perricone. Go fly a kite!Surely the high-end, over-priced beauty produces (yes, Dr Perricone, I'm looking at you!). I saw a programme where people were saying they've cancelled their streaming subscriptions etc. and one woman said she'd downgraded her skincare from a very expensive product to Aldi's...
I think her 'girly' persona is a cover. She's a hard business woman underneath.I did read somewhere that economists often say that one of the most resilient products during a recession are flowers ... so make of that what you will. Not sure what flowers QVC sells, apart from that fake ones, Peony something? I think they will be 'winners'. That woman who fronts them is a bit quirky ... very girly, and almost with the mentality of a 10 year old, even tho she must be late 50s.
Stand back everyone, I'm first. I do have a heated blanket but I always thought a heated slanket would be far better. I can't wait!On QVC Facebook, it has been announced the heated slanket is coming soon.
My grandparents also did this and I will be doing it too. I use the washing up water to water my tomatoes - we're not on water meters here yet, but give it time.As you have to fill an electric kettle to the minimum mark, which is often more than you need, I've been putting the excess hot water into a vacuum flask for at least 15 years and using it during the day.
