Happy Friday! I hope you've all had a good week. We have had a really great week with lots going on and it feels like it has gone really quickly. I have a few things that have made me smile this week and of course, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share what I have loved this week!
The Gentleman!
I've started watching The Gentlemen on Netflix this week and so far I am enjoying it. My brother recommended it and I am glad he did. It is a British crime comedy/drama created by Guy Ritchie. The story follows Eddie who inherits his family's huge country estate after his father dies, which sounds lovely but soon discovers that the estate is also home to a very profitable illegal cannabis business. Before long, Eddie finds himself mixed up with criminals, gangsters and people who are definitely not the sort of people you'd invite round for Sunday dinner. It's a crime story but it's also really funny. There's plenty of violence and some pretty dodgy goings on but it's mixed with dark humour, ridiculous situations and some great characters. I like the fact that I never quite knew what was going to happen next. There are plenty of twists and turns and just when you think someone has got everything under control, something else goes wrong.
These cakes.
Do you know what makes shopping more enjoyable? Cake! We had a little cake and coffee stop halfway through a shopping trip this week and it was very much needed. I had a lemon muffin and my fella had a mini pecan loaf. It was a reward for all the shopping we'd already done.
Christmas shopping!
I am feeling pretty proud of myself this week because I have got a good chunk of my Christmas present buying done. I hadn't even planned to get so much done. We were just out shopping and then I spotted something for my eldest which she has always wanted. It was reduced in price too, so I had to get it. I also found some Funko Pops which my girls collect at TK Maxx for £6.99 each. We had seen the same ones somewhere else for £12.99 each, so I was very happy with my bargains. While we were out, Ellie also mentioned a F1 Red Bull racing top. I had absolutely no idea these even existed! Apparently they are basically like football tops but for Formula One, so when I got home I ordered that. The main presents for my girls are now sorted, which is a huge relief. All that's left to get is stocking fillers, chocolate and PJs. Now I just need to remember where I've put everything when Christmas actually arrives!
Autumn weather!
It has been perfect Autumn weather this week! Chilly on a morning and then warming up throughout the day but not so warm that I am sweating by lunchtime. I've been able to wear pretty dresses with tights, my boots and even a jacket on some days. I love being able to start wearing my Autumn clothes again. I am not ready for the really cold weather yet though, I hope that holds off a bit.
This air freshener!
I am loving this Febreze Vanilla Butterscotch air freshener. It smells amazing and it has been fantastic in the bathroom. It's just a winter edition, so I might have to buy a few more to keep enjoying it.
Celebrity Traitors!
I am writing this yesterday afternoon before the new series of Celebrity Traitors has started but I am looking forward to it! I am really looking forward to seeing all the celebs not trust anyone. lol There are two comedians going in Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan who are best friends and I am hoping one is a Traitor and one is a Faithful but I think that would be too obvious!
What have you loved this week?
Wow, well done for already getting some Christmas shopping done. That way there will be less stress in December!
