...things took a turn for the worse...

I had arranged to go and meet my friend Tash outside the cinema 10 minutes before the 7.30 start because I had to give her her ticket that I'd pre-booked on my card. By half past she still wasn't there and I couldn't call for an update because she'd left her phone at home.  I started to get a bit anxious when my friend in the cinema texted to say the trailers had started, and when she still wasn't there 10 minutes later I was really getting annoyed. You must understand, I'm not a horrible person or anything, but when you've been waiting to see a film for about 6 months, it's kind of annoying to miss the start. I went back in to check the progress of the film, and to my horror saw that opening credits had been and gone and the film was well under way. I ran back, ditched the ticket with the cinema attendee and prayed that Tash would be smart enough to work out what I'd done with it...if she ever arrived. She DID finally arrive, and we all enjoyed the film together...I won't go into details for those unfortunate souls who haven't seen it yet, but it didn't disappoint, which was impressive considering all the hype.  It wasn't an incredible film, but then the programme wasn't the best thing on tv either - it was always just a guilty pleasure that made you smile, and that's exactly what the film did for me. I'd really recommend it to everyone (well, ladies only probably), although if you do go, make sure you get your friends to by their own tickets... ;)
