Re: The Diary Room
Oh my god I hate flat hunting. There is so much rubbish out there that it's soul destroying. We only want to rent until early next year when we'll b*y, but the idea of living in a grotty place until then just because we have to is sooooooo depressing!

Re: The Diary Room
Unfortunately not, I have Wicked tonight in Victoria so it will be around midnight by the time I get home and get to bed will be 1am. Then tomorrow evening I have salsa then have to come home do an essay that requires hard core thinking and submit Friday morning and my sister wants to go out Friday night which means a third late night. Saturday will be work again at 10am so at least I can get up at 8am which is late for me although I am ALWAYS tired after work on Saturday because all the kids take out the little energy I do have and Sunday I'm out again.anakin wrote: Well you've a long weekend to catch up on it all - until then, early nights for you young lady!
I really miss my bed.

Re: The Diary Room
I promised my bf that I'd take him to see Wicked but I never managed to get any cheap tickets. I went twice to the box office in the morning but didn't manage to get a hold of the 25 pound tickets. Since the 25 pound tickets were all gone, I tried to get student tickets, but the jerk at the box office refused to sell me 2 tickets (my bf was a student at the time too), even when I suggested to keep the tickets there and we'd come back later with the 2 student cards.hdaniel82 wrote:Just saw this on Monday for about the 10th time.

How much do you usually p*y for the tickets, if you don't mind me asking?

Re: The Diary Room
I pa*d £39.50 for my ones so about 30% off the full price I think. Or was it 20%. I can't remember. I no longer have student status so thats the best I got.ucakpam wrote: How much do you usually p*y for the tickets, if you don't mind me asking?
And I see that price around quite often. They are best available seats that normally sell at £60 so £20 off is better than nothing off.My friend whose been 10 ten times said you need to get there like 8am and stand in a queue to get the £25 tickets. So thats an option you could consider if you like. Apparently they go very fast.
