Mother's Day at Aldi

So I haven't done a trip to Aldi recently, weather has been pretty rubbish so I've stayed in when I can most of the time.

But I was bored, felt the need to get out the house for a bit of air & a browse. So off I went to Aldi as I can always count on them to quench my browsing urge!  I was pleasantly surprised to see they had their Mothers Day special buys range in!

Aldi as ever didn't disappoint. They are really up there & fighting their side against the leading stores. Showing they can match quality & price!

What did I buy, not going to lie, I struggle with a mum who wants for nothing, she doesn't really have any hobbies etc, so it's very hard to buy for.

Firstly I saw the stunning luxury soft touch scarves. These were in a few different designs/colours. They were stunning & reminded me of a high end supermarket/high street store. Very elegant & ladylike.  They felt so soft.  Only £5.99 each I was super impressed they'd managed to get something so luxurious for such a great price! I almost bought myself one too!!

Next I picked up a garden gift set for mum.  One thing she does seem to do is get out in the garden once the sun is shining. Making her space look pretty, and what better way to do it than with a pretty girlie garden set.  These are only £6.99 and came a few different designs/colours. I picked the one below for mum.   Price wise this seemed like a pretty good deal to me!

Last & not least I treated myself to a visage pro style super cleanser.  I'm not the most girlie of girls, so I hoped this would make my life easy & make me treat myself to some me time a little more.

What it does...

- designed to cleanse, soften & smooth your skin

- water resistant for bathroom use

- 6 different attachments for a full facial cleanse

- equipped with storage cradle

- requires 2 X AA batteries (included)

The cleanser is cordless & water resistant, so will be great for using in the bathroom. Has a sponge, skin toner, massager, dermabrasion & cleansing brushes.

Not going to lie, I haven't had a chance to try this before I wrote this. I wanted to get this post done for you ASAP! It was only £12.99, so I couldn't resist, & didn't want any of you to miss it either. 

As usual, Aldi special buys are only while stocks last, so get in there quickly.

Galaxy Quick Reads - mummy heaven

Those of you who have been reading my blogs for a while, firstly I'd like to apologise, I've not been around for a while, I've had a lot of family issues going on, but I'm back, & I won't be leaving you all again!!

Secondly, those who have been reading my blogs will remember me writing before about Galaxy Quick Reads coming out, well, if you, like me, enjoyed them first time around, you'll be glad to hear, they're BACK!!!!

So, like last time, I grabbed myself a couple of their bargain £1 books & a bar of Galaxy, obviously, and settled down for a read!

As before, these little books are great for those mummies like me who are always on the go & can hardly take 5 minutes to themselves!  Grab your quick read, get a few pages done & off you go!

So first book I grabbed.......

A Baby At The Beach Cafe - by Lucy Diamond

This book follows Evie in her story at the beach cafe! What a great mini book. I have read the beach cafe so knew the characters, but equally you don't need to know them to enjoy this book. It's stands alone in its own fabulousness. I love Evie, I love the beach cafe, I want to be her & I want more more more!! Easy to pick up here & there, & you won't want to put it down!  You'll be screaming from behind the toilet door "sorry kiddies, mummy will be 5 more minutes!"

Secondly ......

The Double Clue & Other Hercule Poirot Stories - by Agatha Christie

So, I don't normally 'do' crime type stories, but the fact that this was mini tempted me. I can't stand a dragged out story, so can't 'do' a 500 page book,......... Just tell me who the flippin murderer was!!!!!!

But this was fab! The stories were short, punchy, hooked me & gave me all the answers in only 1 trip to the loo! (I'm a mother, this is how I judge my time!).  I loved it, maybe even more than the above book which is my normal type of read! Give me more Agatha, I want more mini stories.....please!!!

Ok, so the fact I spent most of my reading time while on the loo, meant I didn't enjoy my bar of Galaxy while reading them....that would be far too unhygienic! ....... I did enjoy it while popping out the kitchen for a second & sticking my head in the fridge while out of sight & eating a cube or 2!!!! Yum!!

So mummies, or non mummies, whoever you are, enjoy a quick read, try something you wouldn't normally, you never know what might take a fancy, & for only £1 each, they're definitely worth a try!!!
