And Hodle did run off with the chauffeur - I wish I'd had the courage to write that in the first place. Yes I finished them all in about 2 weeks.

And I grew up on 'Upstairs Downstairs' too and I loved it.<br />'Discipline' as far as late-to-bed is concerned is for Monday-Fridays ...well Thursdays, and when there's no school/work!

I actually watched Downton on You Tube because it was there. You have to see Fiddler on the roof - it's one of my all time favourite movies.

You totally threw me there ha ha! So how come you can now watch it? Did you get the boxsets on DVD?<br />Self "discipline" should be my word for 2015 as I have NONE. My word though is "elimination" as I am getting good, finally after the age of 40, at getting rid of clutter and no longer being a hoarder. Unfortunately I have decades worth of the stuff to wade through but finally in the right mindset.<br /><br />I have watched every single episode of Downton on TV but also have the box set of series 1 and 2. I was bereft when it finished this Autumn, but then I LOVED the Christmas episode which was superb.<br /><br />Hey I also grew up on Upstairs Downstairs. I remember ocassionally it was a bit saucy too if I remember rightly. I somehow remember being told to look away. Gosh we were a funny generation as we grew up on Dynasty and Dallas too LOL.<br /><br />Great post. Some parts of the UK got snow this year but sadly we didn't and Aaron's gutted as we didn't get any last year and he is desperate to make a snow angel. There's still hope though as it sometimes snows in February, despite Imbolc....<br /><br />Anyway, bye for now dearest,<br />Liska xxxNew Mum Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285584922202683960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-36062311470258804472015-01-08T11:11:54.668+02:002015-01-08T11:11:54.668+02:00School started today at 10 but we only got up at 1...School started today at 10 but we only got up at 10 so we decided to have another day at home. The weather is horrible and there may be more snow later so they school may finish early and there may not be school again tomorrow.

However, I accidently watched the last episode first - it may have been my mistake or it may have been Popcorn Time that had them switched.

Glad you finally discovered Downton though, its one of the very few programs I make to effort to find and watch (that and Call the Midwife and Mr Selfridge, oh and of course Doctor Who, cos I'm a sad addict!) <br />and snow!!!! eek! It's so so cold here, (for us of course, not compared to actual cold places!) and there has been snow in Paphos which is very rare, bring on the summer so we can complain about the heat instead :)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680944355410506460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-43275225919573821182015-01-07T20:14:46.836+02:002015-01-07T20:14:46.836+02:00Oh no!

We keep getting threatened with snow but so far nothing has come of it. We might get some in March or something like that when it should be getting warmer.
