What I have loved this week! Week 38. #FridayFavourites

Happy Friday! We're so close to the weekend and I am glad! I have had a quieter week than the past few but still busier than I am used to at this time of year. It's not a bad thing though, I am enjoying being busy although some evenings I just think stuff it to my to do list. Like on Wednesday evening I was supposed to to the online grocery order but I just couldn't be bothered, I did it first thing yesterday morning and got it delivered later on in the day so it didn't knock things too far off track. 

It's Friday so I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea to share my Friday Favourites.

Bus fun!

I am still taking Ellie to college and picking her up and every day the same people are on the bus. I think I could write a whole blog post about the random things that I have seen and heard on the bus just this week. The driver taking a break and eating a whole tub of cold baked beans was so unexpected, the new bus drivers not knowing the route, another bus breaking down and everyone getting on the bus I was on, the things teenagers talk about, rude old ladies not letting people sit in the seat beside them, the same faces every day on the bus and us old people giving looks of disbelief to each other when the teenagers do silly things.

Fresh flowers!

There is nothing better than fresh flowers and they were a nice surprise. Stu went to the shop for something, milk I think and came back with these. They were on offer, reduced from their original price which made them even better! I hate paying full price for things like flowers.

Chilly mornings/Warm afternoons!

I am loving the weather here at the moment. It is so chilly here on a morning, we've had a few foggy mornings too which I really like. On a morning it's cold enough for a jacket but by lunchtime it has warmed up and feels a little bit like it's still summer but without it being too warm that I am sweating when I am out and about.

Becky's break away!

Becky came back from her break away last Friday and she had a fab time. She went to Newcastle upon Tyne for a few days with her girlfriend and they made the most of it. Hitting the shops, the nightlife, eating out and taking a visit to our favourite seaside town, Amble which I am so jealous about. They are already planning on another break away their in a couple of months.

Shelves!

We added some shelves in the kitchen. They're not the strongest as our walls are useless but I hadn't planned on them holding a lot of weight, it was just wasted space and I wanted pretty things on them.

Strictly Come Dancing!

Strictly returned on Saturday with 15 new celebrities taking to the dance floor. I have watched it every year for at least the last 10 years and the first show of the series this time felt different. I know the show has been hit with scandal with two professional dancers being "let go of" because of bullying claims but it hasn't stopped the show. I love all of the new contestants and they are so funny! I have never laughed so much at Strictly. I can't wait to see how Chris McCausland does with him being blind!

A family weekend!

This is going to be the first weekend in what seems like ages that we are all home together, Becky has either been working or out. We haven't got much planned apart from having some nice food and watching TV but it will be good to spend some quality time together!
