    Are you watching season 1 or 2? I thought season 2 was better and it's quite cute how they are a couple in real life too. Brits taking over in Hollywood..I tell ya hehe.

    Season One so only 2 episodes down so far. Does it stick on the romance or get better? I have to say yay for Brits in Hollywood but it's a bit weird to me that they are a couple with him being in his 40s and her just fresh out of school practically. Not 5 mins since she was the little girl irritating us at the Oscars!! LOl:p

    I do find it a bit hard the way they pronounce her name tho - makes me think of bad impressions of Thai hookers...:rotfl: Wish they would call her Sue key instead...:rolleyes:

    I Managed to get my door curtain up yesterday after thinking about it for a few days. Our cat being old, cant manage the improvised indoor cat flap and so the inner door is left ajar which makes it blowy sometimes.The curtain is just right as it covers the gap and he can push past it without someone having to go let him in, out, in , out :p
    Its one that MIL had stashed away in a box for years.
    This morning I was drying bananas bought in sommerfields £1 for 3 kg(reduced).
    In the afternoon I washed some cloths out by hand instead of in the machine as they are rags and frayed and I dont want the ends to catch in the machine filter.I might even remember to get them in off the line tomorrow.
    I had a visit from a young man trying to discover who my power company is, they never say what they are there for but beat about the bush for ages trying to persuade you that you are conned by your company and will benefit by changing to theirs , I was not really in the mood to chat so I said 'we arent with your company, we check our prices online and Im not telling you who we buy our power from'!
    He was quite peeved but at least it meant he could get onto the next house .:rotfl:
    We put in some of those descaling magnets along the pipes yesterday, our house is plagued by limescale and I've thought of it before but it wasnt till the washing machine keeled over that I finally decided it was time.
    Hopefully they will help to prolong the life of the replacement machine ,central heating pump,plumbing in the loo etc which have all suffered in the past.
    Only time will tell.
    Have a nice cosy evening everyone .

    Reverbe...Oh no, it gets better trust me! Glad "Eric" was in season 2 too. CUTIE! Hehe.
    Ahhh well...some people just click when they act together. They kept it quiet for a long time too..amazing how the media didn't find out quickly like the couple from Twilight. They make a cute couple too. Americans like europeans haha. I should know..I married a European too :P

    Hi All

    Have just started exploring all of the threads on MSE after having being in the Debt Free thread for so long, nice to meet you all. First of all I have to say to Nordictat2. Please try and read the host again!!!!! It took me three attempts to get in to it as the first 60 or so pages are all over the place but it's one of the most amazing books, it had me in tears twice!!! If you like the Twighlight series then you would love Kelly Armstrong books and JR Ward and Kresley Cole books they're amazing and they're written for adults too!

    I know what you guys mean about your pets too. We have two beautiful dogs and they give us so much pleasure. We used to have a third dog but she passed away a few weeks ago and it feels like we've lost our best friend. My two lovelies are sat either side of me keeping me warm so I don't have to put the heating on, That's true money saving for you :-)
