While I remember, def recommend The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul, by Deborah Rodrqguez. It's basically a love story, easy reading, but all about five women in Kabul, a coffee shop owner, a journalist, a rich american, an old Afghan lady and a young Afghan girl who was stolen from her village to pay her dad's debts. I don't know how accurate it is, but it's a real insight into what Bashira must have been living in.

Wow think we did about 200 posts in an hour and according to MN we didn't go on the trending list - think it's not working properly as we must have been the busiest thread on here for an hour.

Yep we have a fast rate of typing rhu.

Well, unless something REALLY exciting happened in Downton rhu

I'm going to have to go to bed shortly, I'm nearly asleep here. It's been fun tonight! Good job I can type fast otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep up.

Yep. Its been a blast one again. Off to clean school shoes

On the BBC OG pages. It lists the songs used in each episode bbc.in/1AXRLEe

Arghh baby woke so missed from bomb scene onwards may have to treat myself tomorrow to the rest of it.....

Ah that's great ice thanks.

Yes have a leisurely watch tomorrow Maddie. Sorry baby woke you.

I wonder if we broke a MN record with the amount of posts from tonight?

I think the day we had a crew member post broke all records. That was amazing I think we needed a new thread after that rather quickly

pix I had my spies watching Downton in the other room and they reliably inform me that nothing happened!

Just read back through the posts as I can't read them all while it's in progress - lots of fun! Hope Twitter etc went well again tonight.

It looks like Twitter went well again, rhu.

Morning
Still on a high from last nights watch-along. So much fun all watching and commenting at the same time. Onto ep3 now.

I missed it again. However reading through your posts this morning is like reliving the whole episode - brilliant!

ilove I'm with you on the London scenes, when I was watching three times a day.... I would always ft though that back to the fob.

I had my fix of TH last night, good film and TH lips!!!!

Work today and I can't stop yawning, two late nights at the weekend = feels knackered on a Monday morning.

Morning all.

I saw the red moon overnight. It was quite lovely actually. Tbh I wasn't planning to see it but one of the twins had me up most of the night with a bad cough so happened to see it. DH was watching and taking photos of it.

Sounds like you had a good night rich. Yes TH has got lovely lips.

I need to re-read the thread from last night. I love episode 2. You can really see CJ and Molly start to fall for each other.

After dropping kids off, dropping a load of clothes, toys off at the charity shop. I love having a clear out.

Fancy coming over here to do a clear out for me Kelly? As I remarked to MrP I need someone to give me a massive kick up the arse in so many areas of my life.

The moon was fab and so clear here even with all the light pollution. Hope your little one is ok today kelly.
Where is CJ at the mo? Can we send him to you pix to give you a massive kick... Although I doubt you'll get a lot of tidying done!

pix try a little at a time. The prospect of a full scale clear out terrifies me because I just don't have the time or the energy. So my new mission is that every week I must get rid of at least one bag of stuff, whether it's to the charity shop or the dump. Been doing that for 6 weeks and have got rid of 8 bags of stuff with not a lot of effort on my part. It's a work in progress!

Alternatively, CJ can come round for a kick and grope of your arse.

Ditto jen seems appropriate that pix gets the CJ treatment as he's the only one allowed to lick, I mean kick arse around

Its difficult to clear much out of this house really as DH is a proper hoarder and won't throw anything away so I've gotta be sneaky and do it when he's at work. and then deny all knowledge if he asks where anything's gone

3 kids loaded with cold here. DD was sent home from school feeling ill today. Theres so many virus's going around the school at the minute.

I'm sure CJ wouldn't mind giving you a good clear out pix and give everywhere a good dusting and polish afterwards

Just read the watch-a-long from last night. Hilarious!! So many comedy highlights - one being pix saying arse biscuits. Hadn't heard that phrase for years.

Noticed my bizarre auto-correct spelling error (sang children bazi???)

Had a look at the Kate Middleton thread you attached ilove. Some amusing posts but some people really don't like her at all. S'pose everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

It'll be a miracle if I don't get the kids cold. They're coughing and spluttering all over me.

Arse biscuits is one of my favourite swears, Kelly. I think I first heard it on Stressed Eric. I've only ever met one other person who watched that.

Lovely photos of Sean Ward on ithestylist.co.uk/man-crush-monday-sean-ward/ and there's a link to a similar piece on TH just to warn you Jen.

Thanks for the hints on mucking clearing out. I've got as far as bagging loads of stuff, just got to get it out of the house now. MrP is one of those 'let's keep this broken thing in case it comes in handy types' I have to throw things out when he's not looking.

Long day, including a meeting at Fire Service HQ, the lack of decent fire fighters is now getting chronic.

pixie do you mean lack of 'decent firefighters' as in no lustworthy ones?!

Missed watchalong yet again (prob good job as I def can't post anything that makes sense whilst watching) but loved reading it through just now. Ep 2 is my fave. So many yum tongue roll moments and the duet is just fab. Molly looks so gorgeous in it.

The link to TH is great - I'd kick Sean Ward out of bed (but tell him to wait in the sitting room for later) for Tom. However, if CJ turned up in his lowslungs, then Tom would be turfed out to join Sean on the sofa.

Yes. Not a decent looking chap in the entire place.

Talking of decent lookers, how's MrSexyPants teacher? Has he shown you his equipment yet?
