Yes my kids love those shows too. And what is it with wearing the shorts underneath? My eldest won’t leave the house without her shorts under her school dress.

Oh, and in my 4 years of high school I couldn’t convince my mother that I needed a new skirt and by senior year I was definitely wearing an inappropriate skirt. But we all had shorts on under our skirts anyway, so I guess it was alright 🙂

Yes I saw that episode, know you weren’t alone I was crying about her father too, while my family hurled their usual jibes about what a sook I am. I think I’m going to have to start doing the Iview, DVD thing. I just need to figure out how to get Iview up on this dammn new tv, know it can connect to the internet but struggling to get it to work, me and technology we are such friends!

Now you have outed yourself, you Big Brother lover!

I think we are all turning into our parents Bron! Yes I don’t mind Death in Paradise – unfortunately we can’t get the ABC on the shiny, bright, expensive new digital tv, so it depends on how keen I am to move into the cold of the other lounge room to watch it on the old faithful 13 year old set which still has all the channels!

I’ve always said you were a sensible woman Diana.

Wow $85 a month – my husband would never go for it! We would be doing the same as you guys. Re McLeod’s Daughters I didn’t get into it but it was hugely popular here when it aired. Any Aussie fans of McLeod’s that can add to that? Speak up.

I am a sucker, however, for singing and dancing (call me an aspirational watcher) and I’m completely suckered into The Voice (now the US version). I prefer shows where it is about the talent (not about the competition). And I too get all choked up – the last episode I watched, the contestant’s father was dying that very day in hospital of cancer. I bawled. I know I am being manipulated but I can’t help it…

I’m always looking for things that both my wife and I can watch together. We’re in the middle of Downton Abbey right now. Would you recommend McLeod’s Daughters ?
