Welcome to ‘5 Things’, my Sunday series, which covers everything and anything. After a couple of deep posts, this week I am sharing;
I love to watch
I love TV, it is rarely off in our house, although now it is Disney Junior on loop…. I find watching TV really relaxing and although I adore reading, I can watch TV while doing other things.
Although I have to admit, I haven’t got very sophisticated viewing taste. In fact, I do love more than my fair share of trash TV, much to Mr Hubby’s dismay! So here are 5 things; I love to watch.
- Googlebox – Who knew that watching people on TV watching TV could be so entertaining! I remember when the show launched, I thought it was a ridiculous idea. I was so wrong, it is genius! Just so funny. Dom & Steph are fabulous entertainment!
- Suits – For those of you who have never heard of it. Suits is an American Law drama, following a guy, Mike Ross, as he tries to run away from the cops. He seeks safety in a hotel and bursts into a room where interviews for a legal associate are taking place. Although Mike was a pot head, he had a photographic memory and earned money passing the bar exam for students. Needless to say he got the job in a weird twist of fate and the series follows him, his mentor Harvey and the other lawyers at the firm.
Err….do you need any other reason to watch?…..
- Made in Chelsea – Reality television at it’s finest documenting the lives of the rich youth of Chelsea.
- Great British Bake Off – I love this show so much that I feel like I am in a cult. Mary Berry is an institution and in my eyes should be worshiped. What she doesn’t know about a Victoria sponge isn’t worth knowing. I am less enamoured with Hollywood, but the fabulous Mel and Sue more than make up for him. I actually applied last year, although I didn’t get very far. I’m sure Mary would have loved my signature Millionaire Shortbread!
- Strictly Come Dancing – Strictly is my favourite show, I adore it! I am a big fan of dancing shows anyway. Add in some sequins and celebrities, then you have a winner in my eyes.
Do you share any of my favourites? What shows do you love? Any guilty pleasures?

I love suits, though I haven’t seen it from the beginning, but it’s great to watch, I love all the amazing dresses all the ladies get to wear!

Yes the fashion is so cool! x
I keep meaning to watch Suits as everyone keeps raving about it. I love Gogglebox and Bake Off but I’m more of Towie and XFactor fan that MIC and Strictly! x

I love those too! Basically anything vaguely reality tv and I love it (apart from Geordie Shore – you have to draw the line somewhere!) 🙂 x
I definitely agree with you about Googlebox, GBBO and Strictly. I think it is amazing that you applied for Bake Off. I would have loved to have watched Sue P commenting on your buns!! Plus, I can not tell you how much I love Made in Chelsea. I am completely addicted. I have a little crush on Stevie and think Louise and Alik are the cutest couple ever. Great taste honey. I would also add anything sci-fi (I’m such a geek)! So Buffy, Angel, Charmed and Stargate are firm favourites. Hugs Mrs H xxxx

They would have loved my buns!! Oh I don’t like sci-fi, but I will let you off as I love you xxx
I love Gogglebox and MIC. I am currently OBSESSED with the Vampire Diaries- it’s a bit of a teen show but I love it and highly recommend it! x

I might have to check out Vampire diaries! 🙂 xx
Ahh great post and cool series! I LOVE Mary Berry too, she is ace. My sister, Seb and I were sat watching it one night and Seb said “mum is she like the queen?” We said “Yes she bloody is…the Queen of cakes actually”.
Also love Gogglebox. We record the voice overs at the post production company I work at so we’ve had Caroline Aherne in every week. She is the most lovely person you could meet and brought us all donuts in at Christmas time.

Thanks huni! She is like the Queen, in fact she is better than the Queen. Hope that is not treason….! Wow your job sounds fab! Not least because of the donuts! xxx
I love Suits so much and am slightly in love with Harvey! Right now now we’re addicted to Game of Thrones and Scandal. Game of Thrones is just so good, I literally want to watch more every night! I’m such a TV addict xxx
