Series 2... filming starts Jan 2016

Morning

Had to buy a new rucksack for going to Ireland, hubby going to pick it up later then I can pack.

Is CJ with bk at moment? Can you drop him off at the airport please. FIL bringing me and boys to airport and would be a little hard to explain why a soldier is coming with me....

Exactly rhu. We probably take a lot for granted these days and don't often think of the bravery of the young men/women who fought for us. The First Light book is a great read. Highly recommended.

Morning all, getting sorted as fly to spain at lunchtime today!

MIL is taking us to airport and she has arrived already! Cue first argument with DH of the holiday. Why does she have to arrive so bloody early!!! In not ready, I swear she does it on purpose to make me flap! Must just "let it go"

Anyway we have a roaming add on thing we did for holiday so I will be checking in and out!

Have a good day! Xx

Have a lovely holiday richtea

Have a nice holiday Rich. Sympathise with the early arrivals of in-laws. Mine are very kind and helpful but they all turn up way earlier than whatever time I tell them - usually when I'm not ready - especially for parties or family get-togethers. I always plan to be ready for the time I've said and like you - it sends you into a bit of a flap and I feel irrationally annoyed by it. I once got my DH to tell them it was half an hour later than everyone else who was invitied and when they turned up sort of on time to find others here already they were really worried they were late!

On our way to Heathrow, back route as the traffic is terrible and we are driving near Headly Court!! I'm having an OG Moment!

Have a great holiday rich!

Look who popped over and parked his car at the bottom of my road (not a euphemism)

Oh yes Pixie I can see him now - tanned forearm resting on the edge of the door, big watch, shades and the wind ruffling through those curls!

Wow pix. Lucky you

Off to do Dads food shopping with him as he likes a run out. It normally takes a good while. I have to pick him up first plus he normally likes a latte in a restaurant. I should be back in time for First Light.

Happy hols rich ! pixie did the best sheep win?

Had a lovely day at Warwick, except for the inevitable being picked to participate in the dungeon tour... always get selected...charged with naked witchcraft!

Perhaps we could have a little live watch along on the thread if there are a few of us likely to be viewing?

On another issue - being a bit of a devil's advocate here - when we talked about TG not dismissing Molly with a single lazy reference, what if he did it a little more carefully for example CJ voicing over a text or email he's sent to Molly? Maybe something to cast doubt on the relationship (It doesn't have to be entirely over just doubtful) with maybe a hint by the end of the series which way it will ultimately go? Perhaps that's the time for one of Kelly's cameos!

Disappointment in the sheep front mooj I don't think there were any entrants. I stuck primarily to a pattern of pimms tent, cake tent, watch child on bouncy castle so may well have missed this highlight. Did have a little giggle to myself as dog/sheep etc show took part in the field

First Light, yes, BA perfect end to my day

We went to Warwick Castle once Mooj for Halloween when they put on the creepy walk in the gardens with the actors to scare you. Mind you somewhat spoiled by torrential rain that day.

Ooh a watch-along would be good

I'll be here at 9.10 ready for BA watching!

The sun shone on race day and boozing, betting, bopping (in that order) was great. DH struck lucky quite by chance and we all enjoyed drinking the fruits of his easy winnings. (Think we had three winners in total but only one which stretched to the next several rounds). Kaiser Chiefs gave a fantastic finale, Ricky Wilson sure knows how to engage a crowd. So kelly I thoroughly recommend you join your pals next time.

Yes Rhu. I'm definitely in the 'S2 hint of uncertainty, cameo scene, then CJ/MD focused S3' camp. Perhaps we could lobby for a fast forward straight to S3....oh sorry, wishful thinking again.

Have fun holidays everyone who's just heading off :)

This just appeared on facebook-kill time before first light?

Quite relieved BA isn't modelling any of them mooj. But did you read the details at the top of #7 .... Made me giggle!!

Yes, Nickel I was about to comment on the horizontal opening myself! Reminds me of that photoshoot for Tower Block from BS42!

Number 9 is that advert where they couldn't afford proper models and had to use what looks like disgruntled employees instead.

Still got tears rolling down my face. The thought of some chap just lounging about like that reading a book. Totally bonkers!

Bonkers or scary!!!

Missed the last few days, so a it belated, but have a lovely holiday rich and everyone else who is heading off this weekend :)
