What I have loved this week! Week 35. #FridayFavourites

This whole week has been a big favourite of mine. It's the best weekend that we have had during the whole summer. We have had meals out, a shopping trip, Ellie's 17th birthday, got some big jobs done around the house, Becky has taken some holidays from work and we still have more plans for today and the weekend.

Usually I share things that I have loved during the week on a Friday but I am going to talk about those things more in my Word of the Week blog post tomorrow and today I am sharing some of the fab things that I bought on a shopping trip with my girls. It was the fun type of shopping trip getting some extra treats for Ellie's birthday which was yesterday. I am still of course linking up with Erika and Andrea for their Friday Favourites.

We of course started our day having something to eat in McDonalds. That place usually stresses me out with people everywhere, chaos at the counters with the Just Eat and Uber delivery guys but this time it was pretty quiet which was strange considering it was still the school summer holidays. We even managed to get a table straight away! 

Autumn is coming and so are the clothes. Over the last year I have got into wearing dresses and I have plenty of summer one's but not many for the colder months. I saw this one and it screamed Autumn to me. The colour is just perfect and I can just imagine wearing it with a cardigan, thick tights and my boots.

A few weeks ago I bought a ring for Ellie's birthday and as I spent over £59 at Pandora I got a free silver chain, I have been looking for something to go on it and saw the charms in Pandora but I wasn't too keen on the price of £55 each so I had a look on Amazon and saw the same Nightmare Before Christmas one for £14.99. Bargain and a bonus birthday present for Ellie! 

We were in HMV and saw the range of Care Bears that they have there was of course the cutesy one's that I remember from being a kid and then they have these more rebellious looking one's. This is the Halloween Spooky Sparkle Bear Care Bears Plush. Ellie picked it, a treat from her sister for her birthday. I also picked this bracelet up from a little crafty shop. I think it looks so cute and Ellie does love this style of bracelet.

I saw this make up bag for Ellie and slipped it in the basket before she even saw it. hehehe Becky said she was quite proud of me realising it was something to do with Taylor Swift. Ellie needed a power bank for going back to college to keep her phone charged and we were just going to get a basic, plain one until we saw the Nightmare Before Christmas one in B&M. She of course had to have it.

I am loving all the Halloween and Autumn things in the shops. I am ignoring the Christmas things, it's far too early for that. I want to enjoy Autumn before I think about the festive season.

Ellie had to have this cute Oogie Boogie shelf ornament, it was only a few pounds from Primark and I got the Autumn gonk too. I seem to be collecting them for every season. I have Christmas, Halloween, Spring and Valentine's day one's so far.

Ellie is back at college next week so it was hair cut and hair dye time for her. She topped up the red that she has and I had to got some of the blonde to lighten my hair to dye it pink!! Just before we got the bus home we stopped off at Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice latte, crazy that it is only August and it's back on the menu. I do love them though.

It was such a lovely shopping trip. My girls had a great time and so did I. We have another fun shopping trip happening as it's Becky's birthday next and she needs a few treats and extra presents too!
