Three things which made me smile over the weekend
First, in a toyshop in Holt, Steven Seagull/Seagal. Seems quite appropriate really, one appears in films, and acts violently, grabbing people's possessions. The other appears on Cromer promenade, acts violently, dives in and grabs people's crisps and chips!
Second, Saturday afternoon, Jess decided she wanted to do crafting with Grandma. I insisted we went through the arts and crafts book and made a list of which activities she thought she might like to do in future [to save time later] Then she opted for making a dino "Keep Out!" sign for her bedroom door "for when I want to be private, Grandma" ... enter at your own risk!
Third, I have a lovely teardrop shaped soap dispenser in the bathroom. The grapefruit scented liquid was used up long ago. Steph sent me the picture below. She knows me too well!
It's always a good idea to start the week with a smile, if you can!😃
I like Jess' sign very much. She's such a cutie. Those beautiful eyes!
ReplyDeleteHa, we always refill our hand soap bottles too. We go to the Zerowaste/refill room. It's very reasonable!
Recycling is good, refilling and reusing is better
DeleteI always refill a nice pump bottle.No one ever seems to notice.😊 Love the Dinosaur JennyP
ReplyDeleteI suspect some people may spot the lack of grapefruit scent though!
DeleteJess looks so cute. I have been known to refill a pretty bottle with more basic ingredients. You are right it is good to start the week with a smile if you can. Regards Sue H
ReplyDelete😊You have a happy week too, Sue 😊
DeleteMy posh lavender soap dispenser is refilled from the mega refills in the cupboard underneath the basin... perhaps I ought to go to greater lengths to hide the evidence!
ReplyDeleteDo your guests look in the cupboards then?
DeleteAw...Jess looks adorable and her sign is lovely. I used to love crafting with my two grandchildren :) The teardrop bottle is beautiful and much too nice NOT to refill!
ReplyDeleteSteven Seagull...hahaha...very appropriate!

She is adorable (99% of the time!)
DeleteNothing in my fancy dispensers is ever what it appears to be, always a different variation, and usually much cheaper, of the product in question. Visitors tend to comment on my 'posh olive oil' in it's snazzy bottle when I'm using it. But it was a gift from my Dad for my birthday many years ago when we lived in Oxfordshire, and the oil in it over the years has nearly always been the Aldi olive oil instead.
ReplyDeleteMy olive oil container was in a fancy Christmas hamper years ago, and gets refilled with cheapo too.
DeleteAll made me smile 😊

DeleteBeautiful photo of Jess and I like her sign. I also refill bottles with my preferred Simple products if I am given a fancy one as a gift. PS I will have used the fancy stuff for cleaning just in case you think I tipped it out! Catriona
ReplyDeleteYou would never be so wasteful as to just tip it away!
DeleteMy fancy, triple milled soaps and Savon de Marseille are red and yellow stickered from TKMaxx at a fraction of the rrp.
ReplyDeleteI love SdeM soap
DeleteFor years I have had a blue and white jar with a wooden lid, and it says on it, "FORTNUM&MASON
ReplyDeleteLONDON ENGLAND
COFFEE SUGAR"
I must have picked it up at a yard sale or charity shop, and I've always kept bandaids in it in the kitchen!
Wonderful
ReplyDeleteI love the keep out sign. Jess has great taste.
ReplyDeleteI've mainly switched to bar soap, but for years I had the cheap bubble bath in the nice dispenser, and it worked very well!
I prefer bar soap too, but Bob, and other family members like the liquid stuff
DeleteDoesn't everyone re-fill their fancy hand wash bottles with a cheaper version? Xx
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🫧🫧🧼🧼
DeleteJess looks cute, holding her sign! I use bar soap, so, no handsoap dispensers. But, daughter brought her dishsoap dispenser with a strawberry pattern on it, when she came home, so, we have that in the kitchen. A week that starts with smiles is a very good week, I think. :)
