I like the Syfy channel and movies. And it seems so long since I had it I'm sure there are other channels. My freeview doesn't work well often so it makes a difference to have Sky.

Had illegal and cheap Sky for a while but that's stopped working now so I've decided it's not worth it.

Aubergine 03-02-2018 03:09 PM

Oh cool. I've haven't watched a film in such a long time! Christmas, maybe? Oh yeah, it would do if your aerial doesn't pick up freeview very well. I have an amazon fire stick, so don't ever watch anything on freeview. Don't have the TV tuned in!

I normally use now tv rather than freeview. Love all the crime shows!

I have sky at my parents house. Only pay the extra room rate which is just over a tenner a month. If it weren't for the fact that sky charge you a monthly fee to be able to record then I would not bother because I tend to watch the free channels.

My freesat box had a funny turn because it decided to record a whole load of channels I didn't ask for! Including Sabrina the teenage witch. So I had to cancel a load of scheduled recordings.

Right, I should probably go for a shower. Going out at 3ish to visit my friend and have a walk if it stops raining.

Also need to wash off tattoo ideas that I've been doodling on myself!

Aubergine 03-02-2018 03:20 PM

Hey Dawn!


Crime shows are so good! Have you been watching Silent Witness, Emma?


Enjoy your shower and your walk. Hope it does stop raining! :) Ooo tattoo ideas? What are you thinking?

Cpt_Stunning 03-02-2018 03:20 PM

I don't have Sky, only freeview, but they're still as good, I don't miss it.

Pomegranate 03-02-2018 03:23 PM

No actually. Is it any good? I mainly watch law and order, ncis, criminal minds and some of the csis, oh, and how to get away with murder.

What tattoo ideas were you considering?

Aubergine 03-02-2018 03:26 PM

Hey Chris! How are you?



I sent an old colleague this card. It wasn't her birthday, but I used to accidentally brush past her bottom quite a bit, as did my other colleagues. It was only her that it happened to! Saw it on Facebook and had to send it. I sent it to her new workplace and she just texted me to say it made her day. :)

I love Silent Witness. Really clever and it's very British. I love the American stuff, but it's nice to watch something a bit different. I love How to Get Away With Murder. Watching the new series on Netflix at the moment. Series three, I think?

Pomegranate 03-02-2018 03:33 PM

I’m behind cos my laptop has died. Might give silent witness a go then

Cpt_Stunning 03-02-2018 03:35 PM

I'm OK thanks.

I don't really watch that much TV, I watch documentaries on YouTube, but on TV I mostly watch the Sony Movie Channel or Horror Channel, if I can't sleep.

Aubergine 03-02-2018 03:35 PM

Poor laptop. Hope you get it sorted/a new one when you feel up to it. I managed without my Chromebook, but it's annoying having to do everything on phone or tablet.

Pomegranate 03-02-2018 04:03 PM

Just got to work. We’re short staffed-again. Luckily most of the service users are out at the moment.

Aubergine 03-02-2018 04:05 PM

Oh that's tough, Emma. Especially when you could do without the extra pressure. I'm glad most of the people are out. Hopefully people will be calm and there will not be too much stress.

Sketchy 03-02-2018 04:42 PM

I hope your shift goes well Emma.

Hey all.

I’m just out the shower. I’m back home after staying overnight at my sister’s. We had fun and the cat was just too cute.

Buttons. 03-02-2018 04:54 PM

Sorry you are a bit stretched staff wise Emma.

Glad you had such a good time with your sister and cat Lorraine :)

I've been out for some lunch and an Aldi trip with my support worker.

Sketchy 03-02-2018 04:55 PM

That’s good you got out Buttons. Did you get something nice for lunch?

Aubergine 03-02-2018 05:00 PM

Glad you had fun, Lorraine. Your cat is gorgeous.


How was lunch, Buttons? What did you have?

Buttons. 03-02-2018 05:32 PM

The actual food was a bit of a disappointment but I had lots of fun all the same, and a very nice hot chocolate after.
