  • Is time limited shopping worth it ?
    I have a short lunch break, I have HMV the other side of town. Can I make it there and back for a little Blu ray hunt ? I want that physical media and I want to support high street stores… let’s see if we can add some Blu ray.
    Do you shop on the high street or prefer to order online ? Have you picked up anything this week ?
    Fire off in the comments, let’s discuss…

    I watched *Abigail* for the first time this afternoon and recommend it. If you think you're going to like it based on the description I think you will; tied together with another title to use an HMV 20% off code so £11.99 and well worth it (though I will have to figure in the price of replacing the double eco-case!).
    Glad you, and some, can manage it in 45 minutes at lunch. When I was working on our site nearer town and often walked in I could have done so but now it's a train journey plus I have health mobility problems it's a no-go - I can't even get to the shops '5 minutes walk away' because it takes me a painful 10-15 minutes each way and I need a rest before I can actually walk around the shop!
    Nice work picking up *X* and *Pearl* at such great prices; I'm surprised you could get away with reducing _both_ of them with _one_ other purchase rather than needing one for each but good to know that's how it works.

      Mate, that sucks that you can’t easily access these places and have mobility issues. Hope you’re not completely cut off from getting around.
      Glad you still have the option for online purchasing though, keeps you up to date with the newer movies.
      One thing with the HMV ‘with any other purchase’ offer. You can get as many of those on that offer as you want. As long as you have just one ‘other’ purchase !

    Indulging in your hobby in between the daily grind of work is definitely a good thing 👌
    A 45 minute lunch break just isn’t long enough for anyone.
    I used to work 12 hour day & night shifts and only got a 1 hour break. . Not good at all.
    You’re lucky you can get out for lunch.
    Not many people can.

      @@dazdaz105 definitely not long enough.
      The past few years I made the decision that during lunch break I was not to stay at my desk and use the time to just escape and clear my head.
      I used to be at the point I wouldn’t leave the desk, I’d break for food but end up just sat at the same screen just browsing online instead. It was a bad habit. Now, I massively appreciate the break from that screen.
      I now push at others to make sure they get a decent break themselves, far too many will just stay static and wear themselves down with it.

    How fortunate you are to have this 45 minute lunch break to go down to your favorite store(HMV) to grab your some movie titles(although I like Super Mario bros. The movie which I have on DVD)if it was me and I’d have an almost an hour lunch break and go to that place, I would probably pick up an anime tv / movie on DVD or Bluray or a music CD but that’s just me,anyway looks like you’re having a 💥 blast over there 👉 so have a good time 😊👍❤️
