80 Days Around the World!

bbc80daysI just watched the final episode of 80 Days Around The World and now I want to go out and buy Boat Accessories – it was a great ending to the series having Ellen Macarthur come and surprise them.

If you didn’t see it, several sets of celebrities were taking part in a relay race around the world where they were not allowed to fly – picking up items along the way to auction off for Children in Need.

I like travel shows in general as you know, because I am a total wannabe globe trotter and The Amazing Race is my second favourite reality show. But it was made all the more special because it featured celebrities and was in aid of a good cause.

Some of the places they went and people they saw were amazing. Others, well not so much – I definitely wouldn’t have liked to have been face with that sheeps head that Saira was, or have to sleep down on the floor of a boat next to loads of boat engine parts for several days like the woman from the new had to!

Still, it was a fun little series and I enjoyed it. I am glad I decided to give it a go because I missed the first episode so wasn’t going to bother!

 

Was I right to skip IACGMOOH?

Katie-Price-crop4So looks like I was right to decide not to watch this years I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here because as I predicted it has become The Katie Price Show – as I said to my mum, if I wanted to watch The Katie Price Show it’s on ITV2 constantly, so I would watch that.

It’s boring.

Despite the fact I don’t like her and know it will result in people feeling sorry for her, it’s boring having the same person do the trials each night. Yet the public vote this way every year – Fashanu, Jan Leeming, Natalie Appleton etc etc.

There are now rumours that her new boyfriend is heading into the jungle to propose to her as well, jeez.

Doesn’t sound like I am missing much anyway, usually everyone is talking about the show but I have not heard much this year so far – so I imagine it’s probably pretty dull.

Someone let me know when she’s outta there.

 

Bad news

I may have to do a finance job search in the new year, looks like my fiance may be out of work. His bosses just announced they are going to make lay offs and he thinks he’ll be on the chopping block for various reasons. That’s not a very nice Christmas pressy is it? :(
