It's not OK...

Image from weheartit

I did an It's OK post a little while back that got a good response, so thought it was mighty time to do an 'It's not OK' post to moan about things that are just not OK. Let me know what you think as I may do these as a monthly feature, I know, you can't contain yourself! Let's get to it...

It's not OK...
To be in a public toilet and think "Please let that bit of liquid that's touched my bum cheek be water and not someone else's wee" who are these seat wee'ers? Stop it, stop it right now.
To refer to a breakfast as a buffet when it doesn't include croissants. Seriously, it aint no buffet without some baked goods.
To listen to someone tell you their name and then call them something different when you've just met them "Hi, I'm Katie" "Ah, nice to meet you Kate!" (I did this at uni a lot when I met people haha).
To say LOL instead of actually laugh. We've all done it, but yeah pretty sure it's not OK.
To indirectly tweet or write status's about people and then not spill the beans. Grow some balls and stop asking people to inbox you!
To abbreviate words, but actually make them longer than they were originally. I said 'what's on teev tonight?' the other day, just no.
To wear band t-shirts and not know who the band is. I don't think this is a major no no, but at least google a song or two so when questioned by someone (usually a group of lads) you don't look like a complete moron.
To wear sunglasses in doors and/or when it's raining. If your from England like myself then I know we all live in a state of despair where we long to wear sunglasses for more than one weekend in June, but you look ridiculous holding an umbrella, at night, wearing shades.
To get your phone out in the cinema. This is just a general moan of mine that I thought I would share. If you are one of these film txt-ers then I'm sorry, but we can't be friends.
To tell your friend she looks good in something when she looks terrible. This also works when they ask you if they should keep something they once made the mistake of buying. As a friend it is your duty to tell them that the striped sock like scarf they had from their emo days is never coming back into fashion.

I'll leave you with a quote from a random stranger on Saturday "The only problem with the sun coming out is a Mr.Whippy ice cream just can't handle the heat. The minute you've been given it, its melted all over your hands, its upsetting really" (we even moan in the sun here!).

#TreatTuesday

Ok, so I know it's Wednesday, but I didn't have time to blog last night! (I'm not living a day behind the rest of the UK). #TreatTuesday is a post I did last week where I expressed my thoughts on Tuesdays and encouraged you all to treat yourselves each Tuesday to help make the day a little better and so I didn't feel so guilty! (you can read last week's post here). Guilty or not, I have decided to make #TreatTuesday a regular feature of my week and therefore my blog (naughty). I don't intend to buy Chanel handbags and expensive make up each week, as I save those sorts of things for the weekend (I wish!), but just some little pick me ups...

This week's #TreatTuesday came in the form of a cinema trip as opposed to physical products like last week. Me and Alex (Boyfriend) went to Empire Cinema in Rubery (Birmingham) to see Django, Quentin Tarantino's new flick. I don't know if this is the same at every single Empire Cinema, but it's only £2.95 each on Tuesdays which is amazing because it costs a small fortune the rest of the week. Me and Alex also buy the 'Sweet & Salted' popcorn from Morrisons with drinks, which I deffo recommend (I could go to the cinema every week, so I have to find the cheapest way to enjoy it! Tip: always take a huge handbag).

Onto the film itself now. It was amazing, one of the best films I have seen in ages without a doubt. It's classic Tarantino, so if you like his stuff (pulp fiction, inglorious bastards etc) then you will not be disappointed in any way by this film. All of the characters are well thought out and there is the right mix of comedy and distress that makes it such a great film. Personally, I like to do the Leonardo Dicaprio test with films aka if Leo is in it, then you know it's good. If you are planning a trip to the flicks, go and see this film.
