So here goes, 5 of my guilty pleasures are as follows:
1. Ice Cream
Now I could easily blame my over indulgence of ice cream on my pregnancy, pretend like it's the baby needing calcium or some such thing. Truth is, I'm like this every summer and need to eat an ice cream every day. I try to reign myself in by only eating mini magnums (or Mercadona's own brand version), although sometimes I do eat more than one. Dark chocolate or the almond ones are my favourite.
2. Knitting
I know you've all got me down as some really cool bird who's out at all the best parties, knows all the movers and shakers etc, well I hate to burst your bubble but I am actually quite sad. I love knitting, especially baby clothes and will spend far too much time and money looking at yarn on ebay. Sadly though my love of knitting doesn't extend to finishing off as my small pile of baby cardigans that need sewing up will testify. There is something about knitting cables that really does it for me as well! Oh yeah, sex, drugs and cable knitting!
3. America's Next Top Model
Or Britain's/Australia's/Canada's/Outer Mongolia's Next Top Model. Obviously I rarely watch the television unless it's a program about the arts or a documentary about something very high-brow. *cough* However, I am a sucker for watching a house full of girls tearing strips off each other, whilst being completely justified to comment on their appearance whilst balancing my knitting on my belly, stroking my double chins and wrinkles just so long as I 'smize' whilst stuffing my face with my 3rd mini magnum of the evening.
4. Tinie Tempah
I know that I'm far too old to be down with this and I'm far too much of a music snob to actually buy or download any of his music. but the lyrical mastery just never gets old for me. Such genius lines as "I have so many clothes I have to keep some at my Aunt's house" and my personal favourite "I been to Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe" will probably please me until my dying day. For the record Tinie, if you're reading, I've been to Scunthorpe but never been to Southampton...
5. Men With Brummie Accents
I used to have a massive crush on Frank Skinner, this was then followed by an unhealthy interest in Adrian Chiles, where I'd insist that t'husband watch MOTD 2 on the Sunday instead of the normal Linnekar/Hanson/Shearer Saturday night offering. I was gutted when he left the BBC and was replaced by Dara O'Briain on The Apprentice—You're Fired! program. I also had a little something for the lead singer of The Twang (who....?) because he sang in a brummie accent. You'll be relieved to know that my infatuation with brummies has not stooped so low as to actually fancy Ozzie Osbourne.
