Tesco splurge

 

Hair cut day for me today! ✂ I got it all chopped off, much easier to look after.  I grew it longer for the wedding but truthfully long hair is a faff I just can't be bothered with!! 😂 Even my hairdresser was stunned at the length.  Cost me £55 plus tip for a cut and blow dry.  It's worth it for me as I probably won't get it cut again this year, I'll grow it out a bit until I'm fed up with it again!

Since I parked in the Tesco car park for free, I popped in to see if they had any yellow stickers.  There wasn't a great discount off the meat but as their slogan says it all helps.  I've already cooked this mince off with some bendy grated carrots and red lentils.  I got 4 generous portions for the freezer.


I also got some beef strips.  I split the 375g pack into 3 generous portions and froze them raw.  I don't normally freeze meat raw but thought it would be easier to stir fry raw so it stays tender.  I could probably have got 4 portions but I'm really craving beef atm as I rarely have it.

I also bought a cotton dress in their sale, reduced to £20.  It's so comfy and cool with a shirred back which is my favourite style right now.  No faffing with zips/buttons and it stretches to accommodate my expanding girth!!!! 😱😂

I had £7.50 worth of vouchers so that covered the meat.  But the dress was a wee splurge!

  3. Love the dress, suits you! I always feel a bit sad when someone chops their hair. But just for selfish reasons, because my hair doesn't grow long, only a bit longer than this your "short" version. I've had a proper haircut more than 24 years ago, and my hair just about touches my shoulders. Genetics is peculiar thing.

    1. For a long time I couldn't grow my hair past my shoulders. It was fine and would split. It's only in the last few years when I stopped colouring it it has grown a lot! :-) xxx

  4. I love your hair. Just the perfect cut for you. I have found wearing dresses is much cooler right now when our temps are in the mid to high 30C area. That dress suits you.

    God bless.

  6. Your hair looks lovely, and that still seems very long to me. It really suits you like that, and the dress was a bargain, just right for this little mini-heatwave.

  7. A very nice dress. The styles are very wearable at the moment, a good length and width, and plenty in cotton. I bought several in the sales a year ago, which will last me for years.
    I wash my hair at home because my back and neck can’t cope with their sinks, then I walk to the village hairdresser for a good cut, with no extras, and it costs £14 in cash. It is quiet mid-week. I cut it myself in the isolation years, it didn’t show in a plait.

    1. It's pretty much my perfect dress. Shirred back makes it fit nicely around my 'best' bit, puffed short sleeves (very flattering on my upper arms) and a gently gathered skirt (not too voluminous) that hits my lower calf. I've got a few in a similar style but this is my all time favourite!! I get my hair cut twice a year. My hairdresser knows this and his expert cut stays tidy as it grows. It's a splurge but now I don't need to think about my hair again until early next year :-) xxx
