Watched


Waterloo Road: Season 6
REWATCH! - Drama, English version
10E/10E
(Only a few episodes left then I have none left to watch!)





Aikatsu: Season 2
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version no subs
10E/10E
(Squee, loving Starlight Academy's new school uniforms, all the new songs with rock. Themes, new characters like Ki and Seira performing with Ichigo and co...*happy sigh*)





Outnumbered
Comedy, English version
10E/10E
(This is a hilarious, clean family comedy which makes me laugh a lot!)





Littlest Pet Shop
Anime, English version
10E/10E
(Discovered the 1st season on Amazon Prime, was horrified when I remembered the 1st episode ends on a cliff-hanger and I had to wait all day before watching episode 2 as I had to go to work! This show is as awesome as the game...)





My Little Pony: A Charming Birthday
Animated film, English version
9/10E
(This is an older version of MLP which I've never seen. Thought I'd give it a go [totally in love with the variety of Amazon Prime shows]. Full review to follow, it was a sweet watch but not one to rewatch...)





Stargate SG1: Season 1
REWATCH! - Sci-fi drama, English version
10E/10E
(Years ago I dreamed of owning all the Stargate shows. Amazon Prime [which gains nothing from my current fangirl status nor do I get free shows or anything] have both Stargate SG1 AND Stargate Universe AND Stargate Atlantis. It will take forever to watch them because although there is a lot of humour thanks to Jack, it's a doom and gloom show, so I can only watch it sparingly...)





Emily Owens M. D.
Drama, English version
9/10E
(A gem of a medical series on Amazon Prime, really funny, pretty clean in content,  easy watching, shame there's only 1 season...)





Winx: Season 5
REWATCH! - Anime, French version
10E/10E
(Finished it! Enjoyed it way more than ever [didn't think that was possible!]. Going to try and finish season 1 before Ramadan starts at the end of June. Since it takes forever for season 6 eps to come online I've made the decision to wait until it's released on DVD...)





AKB0048
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Still watching this sparingly but adoring it!)










Craft/gamed
Made more progress on my crochet blanket - yay!  More pic updates to come.  Played more Diner Dash, not got too many more restaurants to play through, 10E/10E.



Loving Littlest Pet Shop by Gameloft, 10/10E as it's slightly annoying having it so hard to get bling (without buying it on the in app purchases).



Also having fun with My Little Pony by Gameloft, which is keeping mostly true to the show - I'm now in Canterlot for the royal wedding of Twilight's brother to her former foalsitter!
