Our Girl and Captain James Addicts XXXV

[icemistOBE]

*Come and join us as we discuss all things Our Girl and the dashingly handsome Captain James

Series 2 is being filmed in South Africa and England right now*

Afternoon all.

Doing lots of errands before tomorrow. Had to buy DD's birthday presents this morning with my Mam. I'll have to wrap them tonight. Its a shame that her birthday is when I'm away but it's just one of those things. Also doing washing so I haven't got as much to do when I get back!

I bet your bathroom'll look fab when it's finished ilove.

Heligirl wow twins too? Yes there's a few of us twins on here. Mine are 4 in July and DD who's 6 going on 16 with the attitude she has sometimes I wish mine had more of an age gap like your oldest and youngest.

Ooh no wonder you had a bad head earlier this week kel that's full on in the pre-planning dept

Hmm yes to Jon Snow kuia but just wish he'd smile once in a while. He has that pained look on his face like he's just sat on something very sharp rather like when he visits my Red Room

Talking of pointy objects, did anyone catch The Sausage's new series, Billions? The lawyer chappie out to get him is into S&M and the opening scene showed a very novel way of soothing a cigarette burn, ouch!

I really must remember not to check in here when I am in the office .. now desperate to google what happened in the opening Billions and Cigarette burns!

Indeed nick lets just say he probably exclaimed "ooh that smarts"

What's Billions like woof, worth watching? I have so much "trash" stuff I watch, MIC, scandals, madam secretary, Blindspot, botched.... To name but a few!! But perhaps one more, only because his the sausage!!!

I've been gardening today and just got to cut grass and bloody mower is playing up. The only person that can get it started is DH, so waiting for him to come home from work. His going to love me!!! It might just justify a new one.

kelly hope all your planning works out, your will be exhausted before you go!!

Billions is simmering nicely Rich and worthy of a second look just for The Sausage's brilliant American accent alone. Reminded me a lot of Boss with Kelsey Grammar - highly political and intricate story - you can't afford to nod off in the middle or you miss a vital piece of the jigsaw. I'm persisting mainly to see what pain the prosecutor chappie (Paul Gambiatti? is it?) puts himself through. Makes Fifty Shades look like Camberwick Green

Forgot to say the story is a lot like the Night Manager concept. Mr Sausage is outwardly charitable and a generous benefactor, but Mr Spank Me knows he's making millions from insider trading and dodgy money deals so is going after him, cat and mouse like, scoring points etc. The one drawback is his wife actually works for Mr Sausage so there's a bit of domestic conflict as well. Phew! I need a lie down after that synopsis, but not next to Mr Spank Me thank you

I've seen Billions advertised and thought it looked good. I love Damian Lewis.

I want to watch Madam Secretary rich. Is it good?

Im in charge of making tea tonight as DH is in late so I've told the kids to toughen their stomachs up as god knows what they'll end up getting

Yip easy option decided. Chicken drumsticks and chips, can't go wrong with that..

And there was me the other night watching BBC4 documentaries on the Silk Road because there was nothing on. I'm missing out on a whole lot of dodgy tele.

You certainly are pix , you certainly are. I now know how to douse down an inconveniently sore open-wound cigarette burn, so I view Sky Atlantic as educational much like the BBC4 Silk Road really

Evening all - haven't been around for last few days, plenty happening in the spoiler stakes!!

I seem to have managed to buy a new house, feel sick to my stomach with the stress of it already

Here Jen, have a drink.

I never want to think about moving house again. Fingers crossed for a smooth move. Are you moving far?

scary exciting jen

I think I need something stronger!! Literally moving 5 mins down the road, but going from my lovely small new build to a fixer upper that's twice the size and twice the mortgage. I must be certifiable.

Oh and I haven't sold mine yet just a minor detail

Wow jen how exciting, although would fill me with dred!! When we moved we had two months before moving and lived with mum and dad for two months.....

woof brilliant synopsis! I've added to the planner. kelly Mad Sec is good although I can paint my nails, idyl Google search and text whilst watching.. Not to brain power needed, unlike Marchella, still trying to work that one out!!

ilove how's the bathroom? Are you happy so far?

Wonderful updates from greenstuff and pixie!

The bathroom should be finished by tomorrow lunchtime they've said. I will work from home in the afternoon as I need to come back, sign off the paperwork and pay! Only one problem I've sussed so far in that I can't reach the extractor fan and it will need an extra long cord. I had to get the stepladders out to switch it off! Yes, it's been an awful mess and I've hated having to go across the road for a shower, but it will be worth it, especially when the flooring goes down - hopefully towards the end of next week or early the following one.

Jen how exciting! Have you recovered from the shock yet? How are your DIY skills?

Morning all

Wow Jen congrats! I suppose you'll have to put your house up for sale straight away. Hopefully you'll get a buyer quickly.

I'm packing and then picking my Dad up around lunchtime and then heading down. Its a bit nerve-racking driving all that way but I should be okay. DH forgot to check the car tyres last night so I'll have to remind him as soon as he gets in at lunchtime!! I was thinking so much for my crash diet, I'll be eating all the snacks and treats on the way down to stay awake!

Have a nice weekend all!

Good luck with your adventure kel drink plenty of coffee to stay awake at the wheel

And you're a braver soul than I jen - moving house has got to be the most stressful experience ever. The thought of emptying the loft is enough to make me stay in this house til I'm dead!

Drive safely Kelly. No chasing random Audis down the motorway

Yea safe drive kelly. I remember you saying once about BA driving one of those vw campervans and when i was driving to the Peak District MrMads couldn't understand why I wanted to slow down everytime I saw one
Hope everything goes ok for you aswell this weekend

Ooh jen hope everything with the house purchase goes smoothly.

Hope it all goes well kelly

ilove, how's your bathroom? When's the grand opening?

Loved the update pix

Bathroom installation is finished (thank God) but the flooring and painting are still to be done. The painting is negligible but the decorator is doing another smallish room for me at the same time next week. I am hoping the flooring will be done early the following week.

Been working from home this afternoon cleaning up and generally getting rid of the mess but I think there will be dust around for a few days to come yet. Good job you don't have bathrooms done on a regular basis.
