*also up is Q9 for 52Q, 'what was the last brave thing you did?'

*just watched 'franklyn' at the cinema. very good. highly recommend and all that jazz. starts off not making a whole lot of sense but then it all clicks into place and a big 'aaaaaah' moment follows. go see!! A* for ryan phillipe's english accent.

*bought 2 pairs of jeans for the bargain price of £15 but had a little grumble at having to go up a size. i know that at that price they're going to cut things tight but even so..i have a thigh complex as it is! come on Primark, you're not helping us body concious girls!
