Take5 Tuesday!

Needed something to kick start my brain this morning so decided to do this little thing:

1. 5 things you've read recently

• Wedding magazines
• A Friend of the Family by Lisa Jewell
• Lovely cards off my beautiful sister and best friend
• Trashy Heat magazine
• Guide to where to seat people at weddings so as not to offend anyone (was not helpful).

2. 5 sites you've signed up for

• Glad that I have discovered Simon Savidge's blog- very good!
• Signed up for the newsletter from Marian Keye's website- very excited to hear that she is working on a new book!
• Have become addicted to this- fuels my trashy celebrity gossip reading addiction.
• Loved this- some of these photos are very scary whilst others have clearly been photo-shopped
• Also loving Nicole's blog over at Linus' Blanket- great new look too!

3. 5 TV shows you've watched lately

• Watched The Great Sperm Race last night and I have a whole new respect for the little blighters- that is one HUGE journey they have to make. Jokes aside, it was a really well made programme; Mr S concurred in his medical student opinion!
• Am heavily addicted to Gossip Girl, think that I am actually bit old to be watching this but it is so good, Chuck Bass is a true hero!
• I watched the new Horne and Corden sketch show but was a little disappointed as I really like these two but there are only so many fat man jokes to be made.
• Enjoyed The Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency on Sunday night, still not a patch on the books but still good, cosy, Sunday night viewing.
• Old episodes of Black Books- always cheers me up!

4. 5 things that you want right now

• More sleep
• More time to write
• Winning lottery numbers
• A cleaner
• A newly decorated bathroom

5. 5 things on your grocery list

• Kitchen roll- Alfie seems to have forgotten that he should go to the toilet in the garden and not the kitchen
• Fruit- I am very good at putting it on the list every week and buying it- just need to work on the actually eating it bit.
• Custard Creams- they are a regular on the list and also on my hips.
• Fresh Beetroot- these are for Mr S, he eats them as a snack, he is trying to eat 5 fruit and veg a day and put me to shame.
• Air Freshener- again for Alfie, think he is probably due a bath and a blow-dry!
