Just wanted to pre warn you guys that I am going away for 12 days as of tomorrow.

The good news is that I am only going to stay with family so will still have plenty of time to watch TV and then blog about it — in fact, if anything I will have more time, because I will be home alone all day while they are out earning a crust.

For now though, off to watch this weeks X Factor while I should be packing!

Have you heard about Dead Set?
It has Davina McCall in it as well as some well known ex Big Brother UK housemates — the basic gist is that out in the real world people have begun to rise from the dead and go on a killing rampage, your basic Zombie tale, only those inside the Big Brother house are unaware of the horror that is going on outside. It sounds freaking awesome, aside from the tie in to Big Brother which is always going to score points with me, it just seems like the sort of perfect Halloween night viewing I enjoy.

I am actually going to a Halloween party the night it airs, my fiances boss is throwing it and I am semi helping him plan it…I say semi because he has it all basically down pat, he runs a catering business so already knows how to throw a bash…but I am chipping in with ideas and design tips and the like, as I am known as ‘The creative one’ in our circle. To be honest I’d be totally lost without sites like Celebrations.com to help me out, but shhhh, don’t tell my friends that. You can get expert advice and tips, share ideas with the rest of the community and even get information about what the celebrities have been getting up to at their soirees! I love their idea to paint pumpkins rather than carve them, that will save a whole world of time and effort

I am so telling him about that and to put Dead Set on the big telly next time I speak to him

We did go to see Death Race on Tuesday evening, and we are glad we did.

An online friend insisted we should go and told me I could slap him if we didn’t like it, this was a pretty dangerous offer on his part as I am very very hard to please when it comes to films and we’d seen a trailer and thought it didn’t look very good.

But he was right, we did rather like it. Although there were certain things about it that didn’t make sense and are still bothering me — but I am like that with all films, I like everything to add up in the end.

Still, 7/10 — and that’s a really high score from me.
