    I cannot believe you've got me and Mr PIP hooked on Masked Singer 😂

    Hope you're having a lovely cosy evening 🥂
    Thought of you when Wolf came on 🤣 It’s the most bizarre show ever but very addictive, whoever thought it up needs certifying 😆
    I will have to remain true to my crush whoever is revealed, I really don't like that song and they still sang it sexily 😂
    I had a really good guess but guess was American not British so I'm wrong

    I think the show concept came from Japan, where many of the most brilliantly bonkers ideas originate!

    I never seem to win on the lottery only on the set for life - so £10k a month for 30 years.  It always used to say that it could be inherited but I re-read the t&cs recently.  They buy an annuity & the person inheriting only gets the balance of what they paid for the annuity less what has been paid out.  So at my age I doubt there will be any left as it is unlikely that they would expect me to live to 108.

    Haven't watched the Masked Singer but I'm surprised to find myself enjoying and I mean really enjoying Great Pottery Throwdown.

    Another Throwdown fan here. Even DH, who thought it would be like watching paint dry, is hooked. This week's was fascinating, though I do wonder if they have first aiders just off camera when they get things out of the kilns!

    We love Throwdown, if anything even more than Bake off!  The Raku week always terrifies me as I'm always convinced they'll drop their items getting them out of the kiln with those tongs!
