Aww sorry to hear about that, Frankie. They do show some really sad parts of television on it but some really great more happy parts too I promise My God 66 years! That is amazing. Bless their hearts! I am currently watching back in time for dinner. This one is going back to the 1920s.

Yes I think it is. I think they have also done an Australian version which they have shown over here.

I love Gogglebox!!!

Goodreads has a habit of doing things like that. Last year it added a book onto my challenge that was still on my currently reading shelf so I had to delete it completely and start again. I have checked mine and it is correct at the moment, but going to keep an eye out for it. thank you both for heads up.

I've got this on my TBR. Sounds right up my street.Hope you're liking it so far.

I bought myself 4 new books the other day. Two by Dawn French, so I started reading one. Despite the fact I have a few others on the go already, and that was something I wanted to try and stop this year. But that is another story. Anyway the book is awful! I really want to finish By Myself and Then Some because I have been reading that for over a year now.

Glad you had a good time Hope you're feeling better now, Chesilbeach.

Villette by C. Bronte

I agree with this also. This reminded me of another top five Wednesday topic about book Covers that don't represent the story.

Tenant Of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte

Welcome, Erica. Hope you have fun here

I hope you do decide to get Chickens they are such fun to have. The magnet sounds grand. Do you know where she got it?

Happy Birthday! That's cool, Janet I'm quite happy he was born in the same month as me.

Hope everything is alright, Frankie I have lost 6.5 lbs! So happy!!! Well, will have to be really good then next few days til my next weigh in because not been good this weekend. I want to lose quite a few more but at least it's in the right direction.

thank you It's not no, but getting back into now. Nothing can keep me from my books for too long

I don't think these are trends. Just what can annoy me. The way teenagers are portrayed as been constantly stroppy, "I hate you, life is so unfair" Yes we, I am sure a little like that at times, but I was never how most authors show them. Despite been a fan of chick lit, and yes sometimes it does work, but boy and girl best friends and oh wait he loves her and wants to be more than that? No ... shocking! When a book is written in third person the character will a lot of the time be attractive but then when it's written in first person the character has so many flaws. Long and short chapters. Why have a chapter that is a nice easy 10 pages long and then have one that is 30 pages long? It's always when you're in bed and you think "just 5 more minutes"

Sorry to hear about the cockerel. It's always awful when that happens. Hope everybody is feeling okay. Had a long weekend as been away celebrating a family birthday. Back to reality tomorrow.

Hello, Alex and welcome Also welcome to the UK, hope you're enjoying your time here.

My favourite too

I loved this! Such a good 2 hours spent!

The website says it is "The Mambo Kings Play Songs Of Love" Goodreads says it was released 1989.

I loved that show! Come Dine With Me

Hello and welcome

Glad everything has been sorted out. Nothing worse than having to get out of bed when it's freezing! Dads are the best, aren't they! That sounds good to me

6 so far but I have gone from 4 in front of schedule on my challenge to one. I don't really seem to be interested in reading at the moment. I do not know why though.
