What's getting the thumbs up or the distinctly rude gesture from the Between the Sheets team this month:
IN OUR DREAMS
Staying in on a Saturday night thanks to Strictly and The X Factor. We’re not ashamed. (And we’re saving money)
The Wire. The fifth and final season of the best television series ever made has been released on DVD. But make sure you savour your final fix of McNulty, Omar and Bubbles because there are only ten episodes in this last series – it’s truly heartbreaking. Any recommendations for other shows that could help fill the void are most welcome!
Sex and the City: The Movie. Also out on DVD now, so when you’re asked what you’d like for Christmas you know what to request. This is one sure to reach Dirty Dancing levels of repeat viewing
Amazon with Bruce Parry. Fascinating, entertaining and important. We love Bruce! (Enough of the vomming the other week though)
New winter boots. For those crisp, cold-sunshine mornings . . . almost makes you want to get out of bed! (But not quite)
University Challenge. The only way to spend a Monday evening, you know it’s true. Weird and wonderful in equal measures.
STUFF OF NIGHTMARES
Department stores promoting Christmas already. Only a matter of time before Slade are merrily making our ears bleed.
Short days, looooooong nights – if we get home and it’s dark already, all we can possibly manage is a bit of miserable dinner thrown in the microwave and an evening slumped in front of Property Ladder repeats. We are sad about SAD.
Sob stories on The X Factor. Leave the tears at home, people – it’s meant to be a singing competition (and a zoo). And that’s enough of the soppy Westlife accompaniments . . . telly is so manipulative. Argh. It’s no good. We still love it.
Opaque tights and the false sense of security therein – you think the almost-legging-like quality of these 40-denier babies will cover up a multitude of sins until you get to work and realise they’ve gone all bobbly, and patchy in places, and maybe a bit blue in certain lights. They are a hosiery minefield!
That slight sore throat you spend ages ignoring because you haven’t got time for a cold. Yup, you’d better get the tissues in . . .
Writing a shopping list and then leaving it precisely where the shops are not i.e. on your desk. Really. So. Annoying.
