Sitting down with family members with a hot mug of milk chocolate drink in an extremely well heated room enjoying the live football.

Curling up on the sofa with cups of tea or brandy!
yes the brandy sounds very good and whats better then that is another one !
Snuggling up on the sofa with my lovely other half and a warm blanket, mug of hot chocolate in hand. If the live football was on I would rather go back out into the cold weather, fortunately o/h feels the same so snuggle-sofa time is safe.
Lighting the log fire,put Classic FM on the radio, and relax in the warmth and glow! Decadent!
Hot chocolate, good book, dog on my feet and cat on my lap..and children absorbed in doing something!
A really good film on either a DVD or T.V. with a lovely hot drink of cocoa all nice and warm with a soft blanket to keep the warmth in. Or a really good book you can't put down also with the hot drink of cocoa and perhaps a bag of crisps or a couple of ginger nuts.
sabre,i belive every thing you said except the hot cocoa maybe a hot toddy ?
I'll join you for the hot toddy, bluej. Hot chocolate is too sweet for me.
A drop of alcohol and I'd be fast asleep.....
I can think of worse things in this weather!
Got too much to do feline..as soon as I've finished on here...........
Bluej, I love a hot toddy when I'm ill! It does wonders!
Do you know, we are an easy bunch to please aren't we??
Yes good idea CS. I like marshmallows in my chocolate, do you?
I daresay hubby will be watching the rugby later on.
I just had a nice drink of ginger wine bluej. Warms the cockles of the heart as the saying goes. It certainly gives fire to the throat. Shall be asleep shortly.
Maybe that's what Snoopy needs at night......?
Watching The Lord of The Rings on the widescreen in a room lit only by candlelight, with a bottle of really good red wine to hand.
A girl on the other hand... :)
I wish... Think I need to open a second bottle now in commiseration :(
Not at all!! Best things cum to those who wait....
Meat loaf is one of my very favourite groups Feline. It has to be on very very loud and I try to sing to it too. Hope you haven't spilt your wine. Who do you love by the way. x
Serena, I just hope its worth waiting for........
Well Jazzj so am told many times over and over again yet to experience it personally...
Reckon its just something they tell us to keep us quiet.........
I guess we just have to wait and hope someone fills us in...,
here we go again.. Snoops was offering to full us in with his vast experience a couple of days ago......best offer I've had in ages!
I wonder if that offer still stands after all it's not compulsory to kneel....
Depends how tall you are, serena!
I love those films G-Man - sounds very romantic lit only by candlelight and a bottle of red wine. Some lucky girl to share it with ?
You bet me there, Sabre! I was just about to ask that as soon as i read G-Man's post!
Similar minds we share... "Great minds think alike"
Sadly not... But candles and red wine add to the atmosphere for these movies :)
Two out of three? Not bad...
... As Meatloaf sang :)
Ah, awash on a sea of nostalgia now, G-Man!
Just for a moment, I could almost see paradise by the dashboard light, then I realised it was just a distant memory.....
You've got a lot to answer for now, G-Man. I decided it was time to go and do something sensible, got into the kitchen and started peeling some vegetables, then couldn't stop thinking about being barely 17 and barely dressed!
Had to rush back to the computer like a bat out of hell, now I'm all revved up and nowhere to go!
It's just getting worse, G-Man!
Came back here and left cooker on, just imagining now being torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike....
Fortunately managed to save the sausages.
Then I thought, well, for crying out loud .
You know I love you.....
My dear Feline are we imbibing a little this grey afternoon??
If so please pass the bottle..x
Having a glass of wine, Lillie, but enjoying the Meatloaf nostalgia more.....
Ah now I understand....Meatloaf songs. I'm now picturing you Feline dancing around the kitchen with your glass in hand singing away.... but do watch out for those bangers though they're not nice burnt...
I've added the red wine now, Lillie, Think they'll be OK. Just going to put the mushrooms in.
Odd thing is my children are really into Meatloaf, and its not come from me!! A revival going on perhaps.........?
Interesting, Jazz, how old are they?
I saw him live at Wembley Arena in 1980 - absolutely bloody awesome.....
For givin' and for takin' and for calling my name....
Between 11 and 17 feline, its the middle two that are really into it :)
Your kids have great taste, Jazz!
OK, guys, don't worry I'll be gone when the morning comes.....
You must be running out of steam by now feline......?
Yep, you've gone quiet..exhausted yourself......?
A revival? I think it'd be amazing for a Gaga / Meatloaf duet a la Meatloaf and Cher :)
Ah, G-Man, I always wondered what that thing was that he wouldn't do - now I know!
You took the words right out of my mouth, G-Man. When I saw him he did a duet with Elkie Brooks which was quite something.
Elkie Brooks...now there's a blast from the past!
'Bat Out of Hell' just keeps coming back, it never dates because it was never 'of its time' in the first place...a truly amazing, unique and wonderfully irresistible album! 'Paradise By the Dashboard Light' has to be a serious contender for the best (and funniest!) song lyrics ever!
You're so right, fruits. Definitely top of the list to take to the desert island.
Now you lot will perhaps understand why I sometimes get my Parchy mixed up with my G-Man and my Sabre mixed up with my Lillie.....
It's because your avatars are dead ringers.
I made the mistake of reading the books first which means I never enjoy the films, same with the dragon girl films
I loved the girl with the dragon films but i haven't read the books yet got them sitting to read
I couldn't put them down :)
I've been given three girl with the dragon books so looking forward to reading them.
I really enjoyed them, some bits need a strong stomach though!
"three girl with the dragon " Sabre? It doesn't sound what we're all talking about...
What on earth are you watching?... Lol!
ROFL Serena, you suggesting she's got somethong dodgy??
I've got my suspicions... Can't wait till to read the book - surely she'll put it in... Lol
Put what in where Serena...............???
I just couldn't speculate let's just wait and read the book she brings out perhaps it'll have photos or diagrams...lol
Wondering what section it'll be under...
Sounds like D&D slash fiction!
Oh I SEE, you meant the book she's going to write!!
She might rope you in for the photos........... lol
Oh dear, I do hope she doesn't mind us pulling her leg when she's not here to defend herself!!
Have I fallen asleep and woken up in some strange parallel universe.....?
One minute we're having a cosy chat about hot chocolate in front of the telly then, suddenly, it's about who's putting what in where...
At the risk of showing my ignorance what's D & D? Dungeons and dragons is what comes to mind...........
Please tell us G-Man I'll not sleep D&D?...
Glad its not just me that didn't know..death and destruction?
Aynthing with slash in sounds too scary for me.........
Your doing better than I am, Jazzj! I'm not good at guessing I like it if someone gives it to me straight...
Don't we all dear, don't we all............
I don't think we're getting it from G-Man tonight...
Just going to have to sleep on the D&D...
I was wondering too.
I think you're right, Serena, he won't be giving it to us tonight.
There's a name for that, Feline!
Is it cruelty or teasing?....
Hmmm, probably both, serena!
Sorry, playing Portal on the ps3.
D&D is indeed Dungeons and Dragons! And slash fiction is an 'adult take' on a known fictional world. Hmm. Strictly, with 3 girls it'd be the femslash sub-genre...
Good grief, I have an early night and look what happens. I didn't take my lap top to bed with me last night only my pussy who purred contentedly. !!
Now these books I have been given start with "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo by Stieg Larsson and then another two follow on. Sorry if I confused you.
I was beginning to think G-Man could see into my bedroom when he mentioned DD. I actually wondered if I had a two sided mirror !!! lots of fun eh.
Just you lot wait until I write my book I need all the nitty gritty and naughtiness so bring it on and you never know you might see yourselves in it one day. I've collected lots of it already and Omen and G-man and Snoops are very generous with their smuttiness so it'll all be there.
Hope this sorts the confusion and you don't actually think I'm having a three in the bed. I assure you it's only pussy and me and he lies on the top.
G-Man can't believe we were ditched last night for your ps3!
You left Feline, Jazzj and i hanging in anti climax...lol
Typical man, serena!
Been so long I can't remember feline.........
Aaah, Jazz!
Never forget that you're better off on your own than with some git.....!
Yes Feline is right Serena. Take your time meeting someone and don't be in a rush to remarry. Think what you are doing and don't let it go to your head too quickly. It all seems wonderful at first and if you are very lucky it will continue in the same vein but quite often after the first bloom wears off you realise they are not what you are looking for and you may have made the biggest mistake of your life.
I am not being doom and gloom just warning you having had life's experiences good and bad. (Feel like your Mum now).
Absolutely, having finally escaped from a bad marriage I've no intention whatsoever of going down that route again!!!
Thanks money mum (sabre)!
I can assure you I have no intention to remarry but if I manage to fall into a trap I will give you plenty of notice to buy a hat!
Perhaps we could all turn up in matching red hats!
My mum always used to say 'red hat no drawers'.............
Ooooh Jazzj, i thought we were friends....
Red hats all the way Feline lol
Oh Serena, don't be daft, of course we are, it just makes me smile every time I see a red hat!! Wasn't implying anything at all about your undergarments...............lol
The other one I remember my Mum saying was 'All fur coat and no knickers'.
Oh yes, my mum said that too!!
I love to watch a film, lying on the couch, fire on, phones are off and just in total peace with a glass of rose and nuts... hmmm
Bliss!
And how often do you get to do that.....??? I must be doing something wrong!
Recommend me a good film then Serena 1 because the only good films these days are repeats.
I feel on the spot now cs as I'm not sure what type of films your into you. As you quite rightly said there's so many remakes. But I will recommend "memento" it is a fantastic film I've never seen anything like it also another film but I warn you it's quite disturbing is "precious" I quite like serious films with drama... Let me know if you watch either...
Hi Serena1.I'm into James Bond movies and Hitchcock type thrillers.Who stars in "Memento" and "Precious?" How did you rate the 2 films out of 10?
My best Hitchcock was "birds" that was so scary! I love bond films too. I love thrillers in which case you will enjoy "memento" Guy Pearce is the lead actor. It's about 10 yrs old but good. "precious" not a famous cast at the time but really good story line disturbing in bits.
Memento - 9/10 and precious 10/10
Well, CS, if it's snowing, and it's one of those crispy, clear, dry nights, the thing that cheers me up no end is to wait till all the lights have gone out in the neighbouring houses, and then creep outside and dance around madly all along the street and back leaving little footprints all over the fresh snow! :-)
Good comfort food, warm fire and good film would keep us all HAPPY.
