Hello and happy Friday! We have had a quiet week which has been nice. The girls have had a couple of days out in town, just looking around the shops. They went to our nearest town one day and then Hull, which is a bit further away but has more shops another day. I have just been pottering around at home. Today I am of course linking up to the Friday Favorites with Erika and Andrea as I have quite a few things from the last week which I have loved!
We didn't win the Euros, hmmf. The win went to Spain, they won 2 - 1 but England did well. Obviously we were all gutted when the final whistle blew but it was a bit of excitement and one of those things which brought the whole country together. The manager Gareth Southgate has now quit, he got us to a couple of finals and the team has improved but he just couldn't get the big win. Now everyone is speculating who the new manager will be.
The weather!
Over the weekend an until mid week the weather wasn't great. On Saturday we put the heating on for half an hour as it was so wet out and chilly. It was so nice to feel cosy and warm. I felt like the rain was never going to stop but it has. We are supposed to have some gorgeous weather over the weekend and into next week. Summer might have arrived, finally!
A new barber!
My eldest Becky has short hair and realised a while ago that she can go to a barber's which just cuts men's hair a while ago. She has been going into town to get it done and has been paying about £18. A couple of weeks ago a new men's hair stylist opened just up the road from us and she gave it a try. She said it's the best hair cut she's ever had and he only charged £10. She will be going back! The guy took his time and listened to exactly what she wanted.
The Death of Slim Shady!
I used to be a massive fan of Eminem in the 2000's when he was shocking but I think I have got to a point where I can't be shocked anymore by him. I have been laughing so much at younger people being majorly offended by him and his new album, The Death of Slim Shady which was released last week. Even my girls who have heard Eminem's music before were shocked by some of his songs. What he raps about it nothing to laugh about but he has made a living from being offensive and fair play to him.
A new menu!
Our local pub has shared their new menu which I am very excited about trying. They've added a ton of "light bites" which sound perfect for a lunch time, the starters are now for every day instead of just a Sunday and their mixed grill sounds amazing! We will need to give them a try over the next couple of weeks.
Weekend plans!
I am very excited about this weekend. We have a few plans which I will be talking about next week. We are out for a meal tonight, having a family day out tomorrow and some plans for Sunday too. My fella finishes work early today and is off now until Tuesday and Becky has the weekend off work too.
Strawberry Aero!
I love Aero chocolate and always try the new flavours when they come out. I tried the strawberry one on Sunday and wasn't a fan but it's chocolate and I wasn't letting it go to waste. Since eating more of it, I like it more. It's not my favourite of the Aero flavours, that will always be orange but it's something different.
What have you loved over the past week?
England did so well to get so close to a win. It sounds chilly over there for summer, I hope you get warmer days soon. That’s great Becky found a good barber who is also cheaper. The pub menu sounds great, we love going to the pub for a meal and a drink. It’s especially nice in the summer when they have live music. Have a lovely weekend xxx
ReplyDelete... And now I'm humming The Real Slim Shady as I read through the rest of your post. That is a pretty significant difference in cost for a haircut; good on her for trying someone new. I'm so glad it worked out!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Strawberry Aero - we have the regular and the mint version here. That's great that Becky is able to get her hair cut at the barber, what a deal, and for short hair, a barber seems like a good option.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a huge Eminem fan too and need to check out the new album! Enjoy your weekend plans!

Lovely week! I need to find a strawberry Aero, they sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteI bet Becky is happy with the barber's opening just up the road. That's a good saving.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend! xx
Hey Kim, what great loves for your week. Becky's hair from the photo looks cute. I'm happy she found someone who listens and follows what she wants.
