Having Lots Of Play!

Welcome to my Saturday.

I slept right through and missed

 It was nice to have a warm snuggle and a cup of tea in bed.

The final of Interior Design Masters

We caught up with Law and Order season 11 for the week.Only to find the ending was being cut off!!! Before we could see if they were been found innocent or guilty. We are going to watch it off Universal TV channel instead, as it is showing Season 11 as well as 5*USA channel.

 The new curtains in our bedroom are looking nice and keeping the bedroom warm.

 

 It probably helps we have a 16 tog duvet as well ;)

We caught up with this week's Dragon's Den.

 The Dragons are ready to invest in the best as the series continues. Sara Davies, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Tej Lalvani ask the tough questions as a new batch of nervous entrepreneurs make the pitch of their lives.

Then the last episode of the week:

Someone didn't up the top back on the bottle and left it in the door of the fridge...

Guess what happened?

Not much left after it fell out of the fridge,

All over the kitchen floor!

I mop the floor...

Now to enjoy the rest of the Sunday Night.

*On a brighter note...*
