This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I’m stolen…
Unless you’ve been living under a rock these past few months, there’s a very good chance you’ve heard Adele’s golden pipes crooning the above lyrics. The song, having won a Golden Globe and currently in the running for an Oscar, was penned for the latest Bond movie Skyfall.
Did you have a chance to catch Skyfall when it hit theaters this past November? Being parents to two toddlers, J and I don’t get to go to the movies often, so we when do make it to a theater, you can bet that it’s for a movie we have been highly anticipating.
And Skyfall did not disappoint.
(To the doubters who have decided not to give Daniel Craig another chance after the atrocity that was Quantum of Solace, give the franchise a break — it was filmed smack in the middle of the Writers Guild strike, and even Craig himself admits it shouldn’t have been released the way it did.)
I will not say much more about Skyfall because I trust that those who want to read spoilers can find them in numerous other places. What I do want to say is that the movie will finally be released on Blu Ray and DVD tomorrow, and in celebration, the top UK appliance retailer Appliances Online has offered to sponsor an Amazon gift card giveaway!
That’s right — the winner will be able to purchase your own copy of Skyfall, or just use the $50 gift card for whatever else the world’s largest online store has in stock!

I would probably be most likely to buy a dryer or maybe a smaller appliance like a microwave.
A microwave would be the most likely candidate. I’d do research on all major appliances for sure, though!
A microwave
I am gonna need a new microwave sometime soon. That would be the most likely choice.
a toaster!
Cool!
a Washing Maschine.
I would buy Skyfall and then a book or two. I have been waiting for the DVD release as hubby and I never managed to be able to see this. As for the books… one can never have enough!
Small kitchen appliances like mixers or taster oven
Probably a blender or coffee maker.
I’ve been lusting after a vitamix. Just gotta save up my pennies first!
Something along the lines of smaller kitchen ware (mixer, microwave, etc.)
I’m open to buying about anything online, but probably a small appliance like a blender or coffee maker is the likely suspect.
Now with 2 kids, trips to the movies are rare. We made one happen for Skyfall and definitely felt like it was worth the effort! Although, I have to say, I will miss Dame Judy Dench in future installments.
Oops- forgot- I’d have to say small appliance like a coffee maker or toaster or humidifier, etc.
I’d consider buying pretty much any appliance online as it’s just so convenient nowadays. But probably my next online appliance purchase will be for a waffle maker.
I’d love a new stove/oven combo!
A smaller appliance like a coffee maker
The Magic Bullet perhaps . . . 😉
i have bought a clothes dryer online.
I don’t feel super comfortable buying appliances online, but I’d be okay with a KitchenAid
a microwave. thx for the opportunity!
I would probably buy small appliances – like microwaves or wine coolers or a chest freezer
I would buy an espresso machine
An electric kettle, it’s small and easy to research, plus online reviews help in a small item. I doubt I would balk at any appliance purchase online (especially if free shipping is involved). I might visit a brick and mortar store while I was researching height/size and button feel though.
Toaster
Thanks for such Nice and Different Giveaway. I am looking for it as I may get and Original Disc to My 007 Collection
I would most likely buy a small appliance. Like the mixer I’ve been wanting.
The only thing I can think of is a microwave – I need a new microwave!
Hm…maybe a belgium waffle maker!
I would consider buying small kitchen appliances online, such as a microwave.
