What's your secret 'shame' ? (lighthearted)

[IcedWinterPenguin]

I have a degree in English literature but I bloody love those cheesey Christmas books that you can buy at supermarkets.

Love cheesy Christmas movies also.

(I'm also Jewish, but my Christmas love is real. DH takes the piss bigtime) It might be because I did not celebrate christmas at all until I met DH. What a wonderful festival! Bloody loved going to Lapland to see Santa as well.

I feel like I could have written this post!

I have a degree in English lit, and have a secret penchant for trashy American sex sagas like Jackie Collins

I'm also Jewish, but secretly listen to a playlist of Christmas choral music on Spotify!

Happy Chanukah @EishetChayil :)

Christmas choral music is the best. My favourite one is Good King Wenceslas though, mainly because of the drinking I think.

We are a mixed religious family and I love celebrating everything now.

So nice to have more reasons to celebrate!

Oh yes!! Pesach and Purim are my favourite Jewish festivals (again- the drinking.... ) but I seriously have no idea why I waited 30 years to get into Christmas. Life can be hard. Let's party!

I recently read Riders again for the first time in years. My other secret love is Maeve Binchy.

I secretly eat Dairylea lunchables when I go shopping and there’s no one else at home. Then I hide the evidence in the outdoor bin

I eat chunks of butter, when nobody is looking😳

Yum. I like those plastic cheese slices on toast. The texture agrees with me.

Watching trashy series on Netflix. Not reality TV (I don’t look down on it, it just doesn’t do it for me), but shows based on the most ludicrous premises - Prison Break, Revolution, Zoo.

I actually prefer YA literature to stuff for adults. And I have a vast collection of girls’ school stories, stretching over one and a half centuries.

But my most embarrassing confession is that I like those little sachets of cappuccino

Trashy reality shows - below deck currently.

I like Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.

Love Real Housewives. I pretend I am only watching it as a background to housework and the ironing.

My favourite TV show is Tattoo Fixers

My favourite movie is Forrest Gump (not that terrible I guess but scores high on the cheese factor)

Related to the above: when I get drunk I tell everyone how underrated Tom Hanks is as a actor.

Related to the above: I put ice cubes in wine.

I love trash TV. Also my favourite film genre is children's movies. Give me Zootopia or Tangled any day over any critically acclaimed cinematic masterpiece oh, also I have Tik Tok and bloody love it.

The people in my life think I am a coffee snob but the truth is that I buy and drink instant at home, I use 3 teaspoons of it. Nothing to do with quality, i just like it fairly strong tasting.
I don't like music and honestly I could live without it, it makes me feel bad because everyone harps on about X's new album and how "Y made music in the 90's that paved the way for grunge" and I am trying to stifle a yawn!

I like Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.

Me too! I even have a series link set up.

Also my favourite film genre is children's movies

I get that- at least kids' movies have a decent plot/ story arc and the characters behave credibly in relation to the "conflict".

Same here! I really want to be the sort of person who watches documentaries and the Andrew Marr Show but Below Deck or Real Housewives lure me away every time...

I love TikTok and spend far too much of my time on there...

And DCC! Obsessed to the point I watch compilation videos on YouTube...

Also my favourite film genre is children's movies

I'm with you on that one. I also prefer children's books.

My secret shame is overeating the biscuits/cakes I've made with DD. She's getting to the age where she's going to realise that a batch of 12 cupcakes should last more than 2 days, then I'll HAVE to stop.

Enjoying any series of ‘Real Housewives’ waaaay too much. Except for the Jersey one which did one series so far and was boring. Obvs RHONJ was/is fabulously entertaining. Also KUWTK. Mega shame there lol.

I watch quite a few of those cheesy Christmas movies on the Christmas movie channel at this time of year

DH and DS find it annoying and hilarious in equal measure

Oh yes kuwtk here too!

I have an English degree and worked as an English teacher and I spent the second lockdown chain reading a box set of Rosalind Pilcher books.

I like sachet cappuccinos and never ever listen to music, either it’s old stuff I’ve heard a million times or it’s new stuff I can’t be arsed to get into. (And it all sounds the same to me nowadays). I listen to podcasts of true ghost stories and catfishing instead.

And I LOVE Costa. I know it’s bland and mass market and I should hate it, but I don’t. There’s a new one on my way to work that’s all nice inside and I just find it so inviting and comforting. The bland conformity of it. It’s so soothing.
