    The Fall is good but very dark. Can I recommend The Queens Gambit on Netflix. Excellent even for a non chess player like myself and less dark. 
  • I'm sure it will look lovely Ruby. What colour are you using.
    Wish we had Netflix, I'd like to watch that Debs, seen it advertised. Looks good. I'd also like to see The Crown.
  • Oops pressed too early. I've sorted through a few boxes of xmas decs, sorted through the ones I'll use this year and boxed the others back up again. Also found quite a few gift bags of various sizes and some more Christmas cards. I knew I had some more somewhere 😊
    Will put the decs up next week. 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄

    Hello all. I'm disappointed that the tiny buttons I needed to finish my washing line items haven't arrived today. I've not even seen the postie today which is very unusual. Not to worry. Could arrive tomorrow. I don't have Netflix either SGL and I wouldn't get it for the simple reason I wouldn't use it enough to justify the monthly payment but I can get both those recommendations on VM Catch Up & On Demand. Thanks for your recommendation Debs.
