I have three:

A book: ‘The Burning’ by Laura Bates - if you have teens, particularly girls but definitely boys too you should read it (and so should they - my teen dd thought it was amazing, we don’t often agree on books!) ❤️

Babylis big hair - I bought it because it was highly recommended on here years ago. I have a new found love for it since I have a fringe Smile

Audible books - have vastly improved my commute to work

Share what you love, however small (or big)!

Glad I'm not the only one feeling the love for daffodils and bone conducting headphones!

On TV, I'm very much enjoying both Star Trek Discovery and The Orville. Also both Masterchef and Sewing Bee, though they're a little more guilty pleasure-y.

My Hush wide jersey top. https://www.hush-uk.com/womenswear/basics2/sweatttops/widejerseyytop_black.

These high waisted skinny jeans from Next that manage to hold everything in and still be comfy for £30. I've literally just decided I need a grey pair to go with the Hush top. www.next.co.uk/style/ST261482?

This hand wash from M&S. it's quite a masculine sort of fragrance. www.marksandspencer.com/balance-hand-wash/p/p60180311

And my new en-suite bathroom, which makes me happy every time I step in there. It's even better than I hoped it would be.

I really like that M&S range - have got a couple of the candles plus a room spray. Love the packaging too!

My iPad wish I’d bought one years ago!
Hot4holes it’s a special birthday for me this year and my mum is buying me a Ragdoll 😊 I cant wait. I’m just starting searching for breeders now. I love your 2 fur babies ❤️

Imagine Dragons’ cover of Blank Space/Stand By Me on Spotify live sessions. It’s on repeat constantly at home.

My dd. I had postnatal depression for the first 7-8 months of her life (that's being generous, it was probably longer) and now she's 19 months, and I finally feel what I always thought it would feel like.

I am loving Mrs Maisel

The dark chocolate and raspberry Marsh & Mallow bars

Diptyque candle ‘Madeleine’

Asda Medjool dates (honestly, Asda’s are the best).

FrozenMargarita - that’s lovely. PND is an absolute bastard, so glad you are out the other side.

The clothes in Miss Maisel are to die for

Dh and I are enjoying the Orville. Just started watching Star Trek Discovery but watching Orville alongside is making ST disc seem a bit up it’s own arse serious. Will persevere for a couple more episodes.

Thanks :) just realised I obviously misread thread - no glasses on and very tired but whatev 😁

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 08/03/2019 23:12

@Shambalawadeewadee yes, do persevere with Discovery. I can see why it would feel up its own arse if you watched it for the first time alongside The Orville though. DH and I first watched them with several months gap so got used to the differing tones. Discovery is worth sticking with because it's got several awesome twists and some great character development.

Lidl 70% dark chocolate with caramel.

Quantum - we will stick with it for longer although the Klingon subtitles are annoying to have to read when I have very important candy crushing to do at the same time Wink

Anthem, it’s a new video game and you fly around killing monsters.

My bean to cup coffee maker

Derry Girls on catch up, four episodes in

DS girlfriend, we get on so well, even have our own little in jokes, I dread them breaking up but their only 17.

Those cats, though! Absolutely beautiful.

Heartland - a Canadian family saga on Netflix. Horses, beautiful scenery and gorgeous young men. Should be on prescription Smile

WhiteWine4TheLady · 09/03/2019 08:39

Aldi sweet potato, coconut and chilli soup. I’m obsessed with having this for lunch. It’s cheap and delicious.

The Bodyshop body yoghurts. Especially the rose one. They’re so lovely, absorb really easily and smell gorgeous.

Good Girls on Netflix. Great to have a female character driven show to watch.

RickOShay · 09/03/2019 08:40

My cats, always
My dog, always
I have prisms hanging in some windows and as it’s sunny the rainbows are beautiful.
I am also late for the party, but I am watching My Country on bbc iplayer and it is so funny.
And another vote for hyacinth and daffodils

LikeSilver if you like the Serial podcast, you should try The Case of Charles Dexter Ward on BBC radio player. It shat me up good n proper when I was having a clear out and putting stuff in the attic.

Yes the Mrs Maisel, Sisters on Netflix, Derry Girls, Fleabag, Shetland (Douglas Henshall, his Volvo, his jumper Blush).
