Same as you on Strictly, huge fans of it here, and Ghosts too. Are you my twin?
Strictly has to be accompanied by chocolate doesn’t it?Carolbee2 -
I'm a bit on and off with Strictly. Last year I watched it all because of lockdown and nothing better to do with my Saturday nights but the results show annoys me as I have to speed through the annoying gumph to get to the actual results.
I also binged Ghosts as it landed! 🤣 I love it.
I'm currently rewatching Lost on Prime. When it was on before the days of streaming I got bored after the 2nd season so trying again.2 -
Ghosts is so funny, it’s such a shame they only make 6 episodes at a time.
@carolbee doesn’t everything need chocolate?
I didn’t get into Lost either, it just didn’t do it for me. I’ve spotted Dexter is on something (sky box sets?) and I loved Dexter when it was on Netflix, so I’ll rewatch all those soon.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

My own bulk buy of chocolate and snacks has just arrived, should keep me going for a while 😆
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
Dexter was another I got bored of too. I used to really like Six Feet Under.
Wow @Sun_Addict that's some haul!2 -

Have you seen Lupin on Netflix? Very good.
trying to resist the choc, but going to have a treat night once a week. Getting a bit more active since hip replacement so need to shift some lard that had gone on pre op.

Hi WW and friends! I've been reading along and enjoying your diary. I don't bulk order choc online as i live in walking distance of the c00p and i'm trying to lose a bit of weight
I can resist chocolate until the packet is open but savoury is my fave - cheese and crisps beats choc for me:)
I loved Six Feet Under! I bought the box set years ago and have rewatched it. It's a horrible grey rainy day here so i am thinking i might watch The Queen's Gambit which everyone seems to love. I'm also watching This is Us on prime but i'm limiting it as i don't want it to end

@carolbee I haven’t seen Lupin, I will look it up, thanks. Chocolate is for life, not just for once a week 😢
@Deni_debt-free_dreamer it’s lovely to see you. Cheese and crisps are also essential food groups 😬 if I was in walking distance of a coop they’d be sick of the sight of me 🤣
I haven’t seen six feet under for years! I wasn’t carried away with Queens Gambit.

Sadly? We live in walking distance of two coops, one Sainsburys and the village....Carolbee1
