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.

Winter Solstice is my favourite Rosamunde Pilcher. I read it every year. And once I recreated the picnic the characters had at the Billicliffe house- soup laced with sherry, real ham etc.

I also once went through all my Famous Fives and wrote down every meal they had then tried to take my indoor-loving DCs on a proper picnic.

(It did not go as planned. My child-rearing fantasies are very different from reality with a SEN pre-teen who is afraid of grass).

Sometimes I colour in my children's homework so it's completed faster

Love that!

Ditto - two degrees, read a lot of "intelligent" non-fiction, genuinely list The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford as my favourite book... but spend most of my time reading Kindle Unlimited romantic trash.

And the proper secret is that I also write it in my free time.

Another vote for trashy Netflix shows, currently watching series 4 of Selling Sunset ...omg completely OTT. Below Deck is another secret TV series of mine.

What’s the show in New York/LA where they sell the mega expensive houses? Millionaire something. Love that too.

Yoghurt coated banana chips. I buy packets from our local healthfood shop (coz they are healthy, right?) and hide them from the family.

Oh how delicious. I onky go into health food shops to get milk thistle for our dog with liver disease (vet recommended). I need to look out for yoghurt banana chips.

After I use stock cubes I lick the packet they came in - mmm salty deliciousness

Also, on the surface I look successful but every achievement is from procrastinating from the thing I was meant to be doing - noone keeps track of the failures because noone is told about them

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

I like Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.

Me too. Is it on anywhere else at the moment?? found it on itv but then it finished

@batmanladybird Unfortunately just the highlight clips on YouTube or Facebook.

I'm 35 but love those teen movies on Netflix - Kissing Booth , Never Have I Ever, Etc
I think its because they remind me of all the classic American teen movies I used to watch when I was a teen in the early noughties.

I work for myself, from home. And on my less busy days I always have a nap in the afternoon.

Also eating peanut butter from the jar with a tablespoon. I don't double dip though.

@gogohm

Trashy reality shows - below deck currently.

I am currently obsessed with Bondi Rescue, it I LOVE below deck

I often spend time planning my imaginary second wedding as a 40 year old divorcee (I'm 35 and still happily married to DH) 🤣🤣

I have a whole Pinterest board!

Omg @Mammyloveswine same .

We had our wedding on a budget though so I missed out on the classic dress shopping experience and loads of other classic wedding experiences that I would have liked to have had (cake tasting/checking out wedding bands etc). Likewise, the engagement ring was silver and wood....which was kooky but not quite in the dream engagement territory!

I love Bondi Rescue too

i like squirty cheese
There i said it

I love Jackie Collins and Jilly Cooper. I'm happy with Impulse or Charlie perfume, I like Wetherspoons and I put instant parsley sauce on too many things. I plan for the apocalypse every night before I go to sleep (to date I have a small community all living in caravans, growing veg and keeping chickens.)

I could watch Say Yes to The Dress on a loop , 7 days a week. In fact I can watch any wedding related programme.

I suck tomato purée out of the tube.

Judge Judy. I love it.

I love watching rhobh.
