Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week. This week seems to have gone extra quick which I am happy about as I didn't have much planned. I had a cold over the weekend which dragged on throughout the week but I am feeling much better now. As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea to share the things that I have loved over the past week.
Wrestlemania!
I know most people are not wrestling fans but I am and it is a favourite of my week. I watched both nights shows live, staying up until late, way past my bedtime and it was worth it. What wasn't on my Wrestlemania bingo card was crying. I cried both nights. Firstly, when a wrestler announced that she was pregnant and on the second night when a big wrestler retired, which felt very strange, as for years I had hated him! It was special as you could almost see him passing the torch, so to speak, to a young and upcoming wrestler. Lots of my favourites won and there were some amazing matches!
Unblocked drains!
Every couple of years our drains outside get blocked up and the toilet backs up. It's not our fault or our neighbours. It's just one of those things we have put up with. We were told a couple of years ago there was a dip in one of the pipes and stuff just collected there and caused a blockage. The water people came out, cleared the blockage and put a camera down and discovered what the big issue was! It's limescale!! The pipes coming from our drains, towards the road are full of the stuff. The men who were unblocking the drains said it's really common and they are sending another van out with a special tool which will scrape all the limescale away. It might not be anytime soon as there is a waiting list for the van with the tool but it shows how common it is.
Vicks Shower Steamers!
I was full of cold over the weekend and I found the box of Vicks Shower Steamers that my eldest had bought when she had the cold. I thought I would give one a try and they are brilliant. You just pop on in the shower with you and the menthol and camphor scents are released! I don't think they are totally meant for when you have a cold but they did help me feel better and cleared my head a little.
Cancelled plans!
I had plans tonight but I just couldn't be bothered. I didn't cancel at short notice, I decided on Tuesday I wasn't going out and let the people know. It feels good just to say no. I used to be a yes person and would do things when I wasn't feeling great or not that into it but now I feel like I am at that time in life where I have to do what is right for me. So, tonight for me it's fish and chips for tea, PJ's and sitting down in front of the TV.
My eldest living her best life!
My eldest works hard and plays hard too. This week she finished a night shift, had a few hours sleep and went off on her travels. She went on a city break to Newcastle Upon Tyne. She had a lovely meal out, a walk by the river and got engaged to the love of her life. I of course knew it was going to happen but when I got the phone call saying it had, she sounded so happy! Last night she went to see Alex Warren in concert and today she returns home and will probably want to go for an afternoon nap before having a catch-up and she's back to work tomorrow.
What have you loved over the past week?
I'm glad you're feeling better! Congrats to your daughter!! She sounds like a hard worker and deserves nothing but the best :). Also good news about the pipes- hopefully the problem gets fixed for you and your neighbors. Have a great weekend!
