How to fill that Offspring-shaped void in your life

If you’re a woman, living in Australia and you own a TV… then there’s a good chance you’re addicted to Offspring. I am. I’ve loved Asher Keddie from her Love My Way days. She’s amazing. As is the whole show. {If you have no idea what I’m talking about, visit here}.

Last night Offspring had it’s season finale, and there’s no word on a fourth season. There has to be a 4th season. They’d be crazy not to. What would we do with our Wednesday nights?

I’ve scoured the web for fun things to fill that Offspring-shaped void now left in our lives. You know what I’m talking about. That Nina and Patrick emptiness left hanging around.

  • Clean your microwave
    Cleaning your microwave has never been so easy. Mix water and vinegar, heat and wipe. Fun. Kinda.
  • Make art, not war
    Gather your crayons ladies and get out the hairdryer. Make art, not war.
  • DIY micro-dermabrasion
    Got water? Got baking soda? You got yourself a little DIY micro-dermabrasion.
  • Glitterfy EVERYTHING
    Get your glitter out, it’s time to glitterfy EVERYTHING. Wednesday nights have never been sparklier.
  • Make fruit naughty
    Take some raspberries, add white chocolate. You just made fruit calorific AND delicious.
  • Go shopping
    If all else fails. Go shopping. I’m starting with this dress from ASOS.
  • Find a replacement TV show
    Find a replacement TV show. It doesn’t mean you’re cheating on Offspring. You’re just exploring other avenues. Riiight?

So I’m going to give Girls a go. I hear it’s good. But in case it’s not my thing, what’s your favourite show right now? What should we be watching?

  1. I’m so sad this season has ended. However, I love the way it ended.
    I have no idea how to fill the offspring-shaped void. 🙁
    Bring on Season 4!

  2. We dont have a TV and havent for many years! So I cant recommend any good shows – the last time I was watching TV and addicted to a show was McLeods Daughters…so I guess its been a very long time since we have had shows to watch 🙂

  3. just saw on the FB that it has been commissioned for a 4th and 5th season…………YEAH. More Nina. More Dr. Patrick.

    • WOHOOOOO!!!!!!!! I love this show! Funny I was thinking that exact thing last night! How am I gong to cope without offspring on wednesday nights!? There isn’t much else on TV that I find good enough to watch(everything seems to be on repeat) :(… I guess it will be more Zumba for me (on the wee) and an early night (much needed)…

      • Whoops that was meant to be Wii (as in that little magic box that stores many hours of entertainment) not wee (ummm I think it is fair to say that the word pretty much explains itself)…lol I am just getting images of puddles and Zumba dancing lol!

  4. Home from work with a cold. Day much improved by watching season finale – loved it!! Also feeling bummed that there’s not more next week! Ahhh Patrick! 🙂 I’m wondering what Channel 10’s new show Puberty Blues will be like. Loved that movie as a kid.

    • Yeah, I’ll be watching. I read the book, but don’t think I saw the movie. Fingers crossed it’s a goodie.

  5. Season 4 & 5 were announced today. Thank god. I cant wait to see Nina pregnant and so glad her and Patrick got back together cant imagine the show without Patrick.

  6. On the one hand I am delighted there will be more Offspring, but the chances are I will be back in the UK where Offspring still has not reached. I very much hope I will be able to download it from somewhere when it comes back!

    • I watch from the UK. Have downloaded via iTunes…so just have an Australian card to pay! It will be interesting to see next season…can’t wait,

  7. never really liked it to honest! i have the tv habits of a 20 year old man, i spend my wednesdays watching the simpsons and futurama.

  8. I get a double instalment of ‘Offspring’ each week….I get it on tv and a dear friend what’s apps me her Patrick Reed fantasies. Oh it’s a worry! I roll my eyes, I laugh with her…she’s a damn distraction but a funny one 😉 I’ll miss it…what now? ‘That awkward moment when a show you love finishes and you don’t know what to do with your time…’ I guess I’ll be on Pinterest, Instagram, FB…blogging…reading 50 Shades… and maybe even sleeping just for something completely different!

  9. Sounds good, wish it was on in the states. I always get bummed when a favorite of mine is over and even worse when it’s the final finale. Boston Legal, Sopranos, Resue Me and half a dozen others I can;t remember. Odd which shows make it and other fantastic shows wrap it up for good. We are in that awkward in between time also. Nothing on and I have watched every episode of House Hunters ever made. I can tell you which house they choose at the beginning !
    Big Brother starts tonight and while it’s not as steamy as your show, it is a fun distraction 🙂

  10. I just left oz, back to nz after the last season so still waiting patiently for this one. I love offspring too. Im sure I read on the offspring site on facebook last night that they have signed up for a 4th and 5th season YAY!!

  11. I’m at a loss!! I only really had three or four TV shows I never missed, and they’re all off air at the moment. I must find a new must-watch show or else hubby will think he owns the remote… too late.

  12. I love Offspring! Although I’m a recent convert so have been catching up on the first 2 seasons on DVD 🙂

    A couple of shows that I’m addicted to at the moment are Once Upon a Time, Revenge & Downton Abbey. They’re all very good, and definitely worth watching if you haven’t seen them. Although I can’t wait to see what Girls is like – I think that looks good too!

    • Girls should come with a warning, it’s absolutely brilliant. Funny and different. But it’s out there. I’m glad I watched it alone. There’s lot of sex and weirdness, but it’s really well done. I hope you like it. x
