Ahhh that is pretty traumatising!! I'm glad you survived though, they are evil creatures. I take it you're not a catch them in a glass and release them outside type of person then haha

Yeahh I think she is, one of them was like an intimate acoustic evening which was really cool with a load of stories and stuff. One appearance was a big concert at the Albert Hall which Kip Moore headlined - he was great. Ahh Heartache Medication, that takes me back those were good times really just hammering out the country tunes during lockdowns. Yeahh definitely would recommend C2C, I did the Sat this year with Lady A who were great. I'm hoping it's a strong lineup this time

Did you watch BB?? What did you think?

I thought I could hear rustling in my room, couldn't see anything so kinda just left it and later on the biggest spider I've EVER seen walks out from behind this box and **** I screameddddd. It made me so paranoid lol and I do a thorough spider check every single day now And yeah I'm so here for the autumn/winter vibes too

You def should, I reckon you'd like at least a few on there! Wow that's cool, is she good live? You've seen a bunch of good artists this year then Lmaooo whenever I hear "Heartache Medication" it always reminds me of you bc you showed me that song years ago. Nah I haven't seen much lately (since before covid I think) just because I've been trying to save as much money as possible but I was kinda close to going to see Randall King last month in London, just didn't really wanna travel all the way there and back then pay for a hotel lol. Might consider going to Country 2 Country next year though depending on who's there!!

Awww yeah I was so sad about Chuff She was so funny and generally had good opinions too! Lol yep she really got everyone going

Ahhh yeah that makes sense, I could def imagine being less motivated at home. Nottt the mancave That's true, there's more possibility now for sure and it seems more of a common thing that people do, I might get back into looking again at some point! That sounds pretty good, as long as it's cushy it's a win imo Yeah the internet here has always been bad, it's a bit slow loading pages but I don't really notice it too much (probably just used to it tbh), but when I do those online speed tests it's always BADDD compared to everyone else's lol.

Yeahhh that's true, it was pretty much just that unbearably hot week in September but overall summer really wasn't too bad. SO MANY ****ing massive spiders everywhere over the past few months though, one of the nights (my birthday </3)

I know I was thinking about Christmas the other day haha. This year's been crazy, think partly cos it didn't really feel like we had a summer there was so much rain. I'm kinda ready for autumn and winter though and comfortable evenings in.

Oh nice quite like Chase Rice but I haven't heard that, will give it a listen. Ah yesss good taste, I've seen Morgan Wade 3 times in the last year or so so I'm a right groupie haha. Seen Ashley McBryde, Kip Moore and Tenille Townes this year, was supposed to be seeing Jon Pardi but the bastard cancelled his UK tour. Do you ever see any live stuff?

Aha so true about the oldies! I'm gutted we lost Chuff so there'll be no more party at Chuffs after evictions they were always a good wind up

Yeahh exactly it is a good number. I am terribly unproductive though at home and it does get a bit claustrophobic being cooped up there too long so I like going into the office every now and then. Get a quick dose of other people then retreat back to my mancave more and more jobs are going the work from home way now including ones you don't need much experience for so you could find something! My jobs okayish, a bit boring, but I'm moving to a new one in a month which I'm quite excited for (still a cushy government one). Ohh is your internet still ****e there? Even my parents tiny Gloucestershire village has got decent broadband now haha.

Yeah USA does sound interesting, least they've made it quite distinct from our one. Here's hoping your fella gets the win then and keeps taking down the hags

That's exactly true Reaching 30 seemed so long away before but now it's in like a couple of years for me which is crazy. And that's something else I've noticed that it seems like every year goes quicker... like HOW is it nearly Christmas again? Yeah the price of property is insane and even just how much prices for everything have risen over the past few years

Yep Miranda still #1 of course but Chase Rice is right up there too, his new album was SO good! That's so cool and yeah I really like Morgan Wade!! Any other country artists you've seen recently? Oh yeah I saw Morgan Wallen was in the UK in December, that will be a goooood one I reckon he'll be amazing live

And yeah those word limits used to happen to me all the time

Yep for sure, the app voting sounds like a good idea but it'll probably encourage more young people to vote and the oldies usually have better opinions on reality tv lol I'm conflicted but hopefully it's good!

Oh that sounds great!! Working from home seems a pretty good deal because you're cutting out travel time and not having to socialise as much either, I wouldn't even mind doing that but without office experience and having **** internet connection it's kinda difficult Yesss @ cushy job tho! Do you enjoy the job itself overall?

Yeah that's right, BBUSA is like almost entirely game based (and loads of lying) which I'm not really a fan of in general as much as ours where it's more about the social aspect, but yeah this season is a good one!

Has there always been word limits on visitor messages

Yeahh definitely best not to overthink it haha. That is the thing with ageing though, the age I am now used to seem so OLD but then you get there and it's like ahh actually nothings really changed from ten years ago haha. Apart from the body breaking down of course. Yeah it is mad expensive, saw there's like 25 people chasing every one place to rent as well so that's stupid. Least you can get there for the hair salon though, that's the most important thing

Aha nicee, Miranda still your favourite? Yeah I listen to loads still and I've been able to see a lot of live stuff since covid which has been cool. Morgan Wade is my favourite artist now, idk if you know her. My next gig is Morgan Wallen in London which I'm pretty buzzing for

Ohh yeah it'll be interesting how free voting shakes things up, will save some people's phone bills at least haha. Not sure if it'll make it harder or easier to save the best housemates

More of a recent thing, I finally got out of working in retail a couple of years ago and have a cushy government job now which is much better for my work/life balance

Ohh fair play he's a fighter then haha, I love housemates who play up to rivalries and stuff like that. BBUSA is pretty gameplay heavy isn't it? Be interesting watching the two series alongside each other
