#BlogLife1066 - Mindless trash tv :)

I think I forgot to mention I saw Iceland had these new peppered beef koftas so I bought the fancy bread wrap type thing to put it in, that should be nice.

For today though, I have chicken meatballs, cheese and croissants.

What do we call it? Cheesy chickssants? Ha, one day I'll get it right :)

It wasn't peppery the beef but I did enjoy it, more seasoning would have helped.

It's quite small, so two at a time did the trick and with the mayonnaise and cheese, it was really nice and fulling.

I've finished The Family Business, parts of it was dull, others were entertaining..

I don't know if it's renewed or ended. I've just started on something else.

It seems like it's already been cancelled, I'd have to verify on Googly.

Seems cute, it's called Seeking Persephone. It's about a struggling family, a Papa and his daughters..

And out of the blue the eldest gets a marriage proposal from a Duke, they've never met, aren't aware of each other..

But he's so wealthy he's basically offering to pay all their dowries, which is a payment, they offer when they get engaged I think...

Anyway, the groom is quite judgemental and rude. The bride is quite sweet and of course, missing her family.

The really sad gut wrenching thing, is the sisters are neglected by their Papa and don't have anyone talking to them, checking up, caring for them..

There's another woman but I don't know, if she's a sister, a friend, a neighbour or what because, couldn't the youngsters, talk to her??

I ended up finishing it last night, it was only 4 parts but I really liked it.

Sweet and funny and now I have to find something else to get lost in..

I've found something that reminds me of Charmed, I'm not into the witchy stuff, but I like watching relationships break, grow, form, that kinda stuff.

It's called Witches of East End, I'm only on the first episode but my brain already raced ahead and imagined the plot..

In Charmed, Prue dated a cop and I was gutted when he left, in this I've already forgotten her name, is also dating a cop..

In Charmed there was a cat, this also has a cat.

In Charmed it was eventually part set in a bar, guess what? This is too lol.

Basically the plot is two lots of sisters are witches. The Mama and Aunt are aware of their status, the daughters are not.

They seem to be in their twenties, I doubt they are supposed to be teens, but I could be wrong..

One is engaged but she is flighty and is kinda magically drawn to the brother of her intended....

Playing with fire there then.. The other is single but reacquainted with her childhood crush, so newly dating him.

They've just found out they have powers and cue the enemies rolling in..

I guess today will be a day where the blankie is acting up, the weather has turned rainy, which I like but later on it's sunny.

I just got my groceries, everything was there. I was going to try this rice salad, but it wasn't in stock.

Oh the other thing I did because I can't stand it anymore. I ended up buying the Simple face wash, so I can use my face brush again.

Actually touching my face, it doesn't seem to to dry but I miss using it.

The Aquarice wash is just so lumpy and unsuitable. I guess it cleansed my skin, I would not get it again.

It was different. I don't think I'm a fan of Simple, but at least it's smooth and goes on nicely on the brush.

I have a feeling I need deeper cleanses, so I will use them both together.

It's the only one Iceland stocks. I did see they have a moisturiser, so I might get that too.

I'm just trying to budget.

#BlogLife1061 - Chatty Chicks Watching Flicks 24 - The Family Business

Two things, I haven't heard anything from Mama, she could have emailed to say she arrived safely.. Pfft whatever.

Crap how have I already forgotten the other thing? Oh yea, I  found another show to binge.

It's from 2018 and it's called The Family Business, again it reminds me of another show but I can't think of it.

I love Ernie Hudson, I think usually he's playing the good guy, not so much in this..

Roughly it's about a gangstery, criminal family and I suppose, each member are trying to find their place in it?

I'm mainly interested in the female characters, I want them to find love and happiness and all that mushy stuff..

(By the way, eating is a massive chore when you're not hungry).

I'm only still eating the fries slowly because one, it's settled my tum and two, they'll get stale quickly.

My preference is the pakoras but later..

Anyway back to the show, Ernie plays the head, the Papa, Mr intimidating criminal, smuggling drugs or guns, I forget already because that doesn't interest me ha.

He seems to have a good marriage, which is unusual, I thought he'd be a cheater.

I think he's more impressed with the sons, even though they make mistakes, rather than the daughters, typical crap..

The youngest one is tough but crazy lol. I don't really understand the mentality of having her followed and dragged back home, when she's dating and more..

But the sons/acquaintances can hire escorts, sleep around, cheat/beat on their wives and noone bats an eye???

So she's the one that interests me the most and her sister is judgy too but she just had an affair lol.

Hilarious stuff and then the family friend is secretly a mole lol.

Whenever a new romantic love interest comes along, I always hope it's genuine, but it's typically not lol.

I'm gutted my favourite was either fired or left, it just seemed like a blah ending, no real fanfare considering she was a main character..

It's not as interesting now but I wonder if she will return with an update?

It's 8.30am and they are due anytime, which is nerve wracking. I was up at 6/7am and probably slept around 1/2am..

I didn't mop and should have but the pmt, lack of proper sleep and hand/back pain is all climbing so I don't have it in me.

I've opened the windows and took out the bins, tidied but I still feel guilty for not doing more.

The worst thing was I should have been playing the hand pain binaurals but it slipped my mind, it might have been cured by now.

Who knows if they will even show up this time? I'm charging my phone but kept it on.

I don't know if they will text or call to say I'm next or they are on their way...

Or maybe, I'll be stood up again? Oh and I need to call and pay my rent and ask the exact amount due and report it to UC..

But it's too early and I forgot yesterday. I don't know if I should put the blankie on for the pain.

It's not cold or warm.. Oh and I tried those hazelnut cookies.. Um it's the right amount of sweetness.

Just like a nutella spread inside, I prefer it crunchier, not soft so I stuck it in the fridge.

I don't think I would buy it again but it was interesting to sample for something new and different.

Back to the show as I've nearly finished it, so many skeletons. Junior is not their son, well his Aunt Donna is his Mama and his Papa is his Papa....

Then there is a third triplet, not twins? Good grief.

Then the aftermath of Junior being told this makes him snap and turn on everyone that lied to him.

I get him being mad at the family, but mad at his wifey Sonya? That confuses me, she's always been a total sweetheart.

So him being nasty to her and cheating, is so strange. Disrespect, unfaithfulness is my dealbreaker..

Anyway Paris did eventually come back in season 4 I think. I'm glad, I liked her, even though she was a hothead.

I wondered how it would unfold, she found out Niles was a hitman, she's a killer too..

Turns out, that wasn't a dealbreaker, I forgot she lied about her name and his next victim, was her Papa....

She could have so easily told him, you can't accept this job, but she went rogue and bombed his hotel.....

Only he didn't die lol and he decided to haunt her, sending her beautiful blue roses..

Their reunion was fun but sad, he was going to propose, aww..

He said, You could have just told me and I wouldn't have done it and by the way, I still love you....

And then after he left, she confessed she still loves him too.... Seems like her first real heartbreak..
