Full exposure...

As you will see from the post below you only saw the back of our heads on Thursday's Pointless show  but on Friday's show they managed to snap my full frontal  :-)......fully clothed of course  :-)  .....so now I can say I've been on television.  For those that couldn't watch it, didn't want to watch it or those that wouldn't have known us if you saw us even if you bothered to watch it here's a still taken on the lap top using iPlayer [Please click on the pic to enlarge to see it clearer] :-)  :-)



Guess that's one I can mark off my bucket list.  :-)  It was a wonderful afternoon's entertainment.  The tickets were free....all you have to do is apply for them......and yes Richard really is that tall.

Well? Did you see us?.....

Do you remember back in Feb my darling hubby and I went to see the show Pointless?  Well, when we were there we were told that hopefully it would be on the telly some time in April.  Since then we have had the programme on record and watched each one closely waiting for the big day.  We knew it was the 300th and 301st shows we had been in the audience for because we had been there for the celebrations.....we had a slice of the cake!!!

Those that watch the programme will know that it was the 300th show last night and wahooooo we were there in the telly  :-)  Did you see us?  Would you know if you had?  For those that missed the show last night don't forget 301 is on the telly tonight....BBC1 at 5.15

Don't get too excited though cos we are just nicely tucked away at the bottom left hand corner of your screen and you may only see the back of our heads!!.....I didn't realise just how grey my hair was at the back  :-)....guess I never normally see it from that angle. hehehe!!
I have managed to take a pic of us on the lap top for you  :-)....please click on pic to get a better look!!


I think I will draw a smiley face on the back of my hubby's bald head for the next time we go  :-) :-)

My pointless outing.....

I hinted to you that I was hoping for some exciting news to share with you soon and here it is......

On Friday we got up early and set out on our latest adventure.


The sky as we drove to Shrewsbury station was stunning and well worth the early rise.


We left our car at our daughter Michelle's and were taxied to the station by Brent on his way to work [thank you B].  We caught a train to Crewe and then a fast train to London.  A couple of underground trains later we arrived here.....



BBC Television Centre and waited in the queue outside clutching our tickets for an hour....exciting times.  We were then checked off on a list and given a ticket.....numbers 8 and 9 in the queue  :-)

From here we proceeded through security and into the main waiting area before being showed into here......

I'm sure a lot of you will recognise this as the studio where they film the show Pointless.  [Yes I did get told off for taking the pic but you have to give it a go don't you?]  We had applied on line for seats to be in the audience and were lucky enough to get two afternoon tickets so watched them film two of the programmes....brilliant.  It was a fab afternoon's entertainment and the tickets were free.  As far as we know it will be on the telly some time in April so we may be on the telly.  :-) :-) :-)


Our excitement didn't stop there because my darling hubby had booked us into a four star hotel for the night and on the Saturday Michelle and Brent joined us to go to see Billy Elliot at the theatre.  Thank you to the both of them for making our day so very special and to Mark and Gina who looked after the twins to make this possible.  The show was amazing and afterwards Brent taxied us home from London.  What a special few days.

This morning we woke to the very first snow we have seen this winter....

Can you see it?????  It was barely a covering and was all gone by 10 o'clock but I snapped a quick pic just to prove we have had some  :-)
