P.S. I really like the scarf and I'm a bit miffed it's not from Penneys. Can't be going looking at Ali. Waaaaaaaay to tempting.

Morning britherers
I'm up for the craic
I'm bored as fcek
Til bb comes back

Did ye all get the ride
Are ye sated
V day is so
OVERRATED

I'm losing my mind
As ye can tell
I'm off to pay bills
I might as well

Later my lovelies
Do have a good day
Til, Til
That's all I can say.

Tonights viewing .

I'm heading to Netflix soon where I'll browse for 2 hours without actually watching anything. I've ep 6 of cbb watched. It's weird because they've been in the house two weeks apparently so each episode covers a couple days. Edited to death. Very scripted in the diary room but I'm still loving the game play.

It is so edited is right . I watch it when I go to bed , their droning on helps me to doze off for a an hour or two

Wyrn , yes it is harrowing at times .
Makes you wonder why they thought it was ok to kill someone , or was it really an accident as some of them claim .
Remorse or taking responsibility for their actions can be sadly lacking in a lot of these programmes . Haven't seen this one before though . Sad .

What did you think Mam? I really thought the young lad was going to be let out. I found myself kind of feeling sorry for him, bizarrely. The young girl though I wouldn't trust her at all. She didn't give two shltes.

It was a very odd one with him I thought tbh . Why couldn't answer Suzannah when she asked him Why he had killed her ? He was still hiding something I thought ?
And the judge who had to decide whether or not to uphold the life sentence , I felt sorry for him , he was obviously distressed about the whole thing . I don't think we heard half the details tbh .

The girl , nope , nothing from her except pity for herself . What they did to the man they murdered was cold and heartless .

Horrified to see a new show on TLC called "Dr Pimple Popper" :eek:
Think I'll be giving that one a miss

Seriously, how the fuck are Fin12, Deco and Mam gonna cope? It took us about 7 weeks to teach them how to gif properly and now this sis!?

So the old pros can't gif now?

I was without internet access for a full 24 hours and I just about survived with my sanity intact

I put on survival of the fittest but gave up after ten minutes and read instead. Much more enjoyable.

Can't beat a good book though !

Ah I’d read the back of the cornflakes box if I was stuck for a book
Best present I ever received was a kindle.
Any recommendations for something new to read Mam?

Survival of the fittest is just so boring. I’m surprised I made it to ten minutes tbh
One of the girls had a fab pair of tear away/ popper trousers on that I want. That’s the best compliment I can muster for the show

I just finished The Stand by Stephen King for the second time. I feel so empty now that it's finished cos it's such a long book and I get so engrossed in the characters

I think I'll start Harry Potter again for the 8th or so time.

I my kindle. Signed up for Kindle unlimited for £7.99 a month. I reckon it'll be well worth it.

I have an annual read through of Harry Potter, The Lord Of The Rings and Game Of Thrones. My OH is always mystified as to why I would want to keep reading the same material over and over.
There was a recommended book on my kindle and I downloaded the sample chapter, it’s included free with kindle unlimited so I might try it for a month just to finish that book

I’ve only read two Stephen king books, the most recent was under the dome. I found the ending quite underwhelming

I do love LOTR but I couldn't read it every year, I'd prefer something a bit more sophisticated. I might break out my copy of the secret diaries of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4

Lol have done the same with HP and LOTR . I will read anything , apart from Mills and Boons aargh!!
And I usually buy my books in the Charity shops , three for a euro , can't go wrong !!

Ninjini

Glad you can gif again skip

Although not quite as high brow, I did enjoy the world according to Norm series and diary of a wimpy kid that I borrowed from my son

I’ve read the LOTR every year since I was 18, it’s tradition

I will read nearly anything, I am partial to cheesy detective stories, especially if they are racing against time to stop a serial killer

Only thing I haven’t managed to finish was the girl with the dragon tattoo. I know loads of people have it on their must read lists, I just couldn’t get into it and I’m one of the few who managed to read all three fifty shades books :eek:

Ooh , can't beat a good thriller !
Jo Nesbro , Minette Walter, quite good reads

Fifty Shades Of !!!! , geez I thought they were so badly written lol , exciting my a**

I’m reading Eleanor ophilant is completely fine at the moment

It’s a little depressing tbh.

Fifty shades was awful, I still persevered as I hate not finishing a book once I’ve started
The snowman is on my list, I just haven’t gotten to it yet

Same here with reading a bad book , you hope it eventually will get better though

Sebastian Faulks , Birdsong , love that book .
Not a thriller , set in the war , but a brilliant read tbh .

Anyhow , what's for watching at 9pm ?:D

My New Years resolution was to watch less tv and read more
So I started January by watching 7 seasons of the walking dead and celeb big brother.....

I’m starting over in February!!

It's back in a couple of weeks. I'm going to wait until all the episodes air and watch them in one go. It's last chance saloon for me, if it's good I will watch the next season if not I'm done.

I’m feel the same, I reckon I’ll end up watching anyway after investing in it for so long, but Christ it was hard to make myself watch the last few series’.

Yeah it was great to binge watch ( and Christ did I binge watch it) I’m not sure if I could keep watching week after week waiting for an episode...in other news I’m half way through dynasty on Netflix... it’s so bad but its great!!!

I’ve heard this season has been much better but I don’t hold out much hope

I saw dynasty pop up on Netflix, is it a reboot of the old show?

Ya it is! It’s very like revenge.... it’s shockingly bad but I’m not afraid to admit here among my fellow brithers that I love it
