Hair disappointment and pizza bargains

 Well, I cut (with husband's help on the back) and coloured my hair this morning.....suffice it to say I don't like it.  The colour certainly isn't the 'metallic silver' shown on the pack, it's more gunmetal grey, much too dark for my liking.  The top bit of my hair is fine, as is the very short back, but I went up too high on the sides, it doesn't really suit my face shape having it that short at the sides.  I wash my hair every other day so the colour will soon fade to a lighter shade, thankfully.  It also grows fairly quick which I'm happy about....in a couple of weeks it'll be much better.  Over the past few days I've crocheted myself 4 different coloured headband/ear warmers which all look good, so when I go out I'll be wearing one of those!  Oh well, I tried - I wouldn't say it's a disaster but I won't be doing either the cut or the colour the same next time!  The colour is definitely the most disappointing aspect, having had very light blonde and latterly faded light silvery grey all my life, dark grey is not my preferred colour at all.  Never mind.

It's been raining on and off all morning and is still very windy - husband attempted to take Betty for a walk but she didn't want to know, after just a couple of minutes she indicated she'd had enough and turned back home.  Don't blame her!  The sun has literally just come out but there are still black clouds hovering.  I did some washing this morning and have been waiting to put it out, but I think I'll put it on my new heated airer instead, the sun having gone straight back in again.

On Saturday evenings we've got into the habit of having a pizza for tea whilst watching Strictly.  I didn't have one in the freezer yesterday, so we went to Tesco to get one.  It turned out they had a meal deal offer on some of the pizzas (The Pizza Company ones), 2 large pizzas, 2 sides and a dip for £10.  I added up how much it would have cost to buy all the things separately, it came to £19.10 so quite a saving.  We chose a multi cheese pizza and a bbq chicken and bacon one, for sides we picked out a pack of lattice fries and a garlic flatbread, plus a bbq sauce dip.  Each of the pizzas were huge, we had half of the cheese one between us for tea last night, plus the lattice fries (which were lovely) and the bbq dip, also lovely.  The rest of the pizza is for lunch today with a bit of salad, the other one went in the freezer along with the garlic flatbread.  The flatbread is smaller than the pizzas, I intend to put some more toppings on it - maybe some roasted veggies and cheese - and have it as another pizza another day.  So the 2 pizzas and sides will actually do us for 5 separate meals for the two of us, with some veg or salad or beans on the side, which works out at £2 for each 2 portions, plus the sides.  Bargain!  The offer is on until 29 November, so I might well get it again (no room in the freezer at the moment).  

Our Tesco is undergoing a refit, it's chaos in there right now, empty shelves everywhere, everything moved around into different aisles, the toiletries, meds, baby stuff have all been moved into a marquee out in the car park.  There are notices up saying there are dedicated Shoppers Helpers carrying boards (like lollipop ladies).....erm, we've only seen one, who promptly vanished as soon as I saw her.  So shopping takes twice as long right now - there are Morrisons and Lidl in the same area but Tesco is my preferred shop.  I've asked 2 different staff members when the refit will be completed.....both of them shrugged and said they don't know, they haven't been told, but hopefully before Christmas!  It's not been very busy over the last couple of weeks since they started the refit - I'm guessing a lot of shoppers have deserted them for Morrisons, quite understandably.

I've got physio tomorrow morning, husband has his on Tuesday.  I think I'll tell my physiotherapist I don't need to go anymore, my shoulder is heaps better since I had the cortisone injection.  Other than that we've got nothing on this week, I don't think.
