Faffing Friday Edition #10
Dopamine hit, travel tips, new Sambas, the sales, girls dropping the computer & will TV wither our ageing brains?
As if I’ve kept this going now for 10 weeks.
My ADHD brain must be really enjoying THIS dopamine hit ✨

TRAVEL 🧳 the real reason people book trips. This made me LOL on the basis that we are going on a family vacay in October and I keep raving about this very topic in the family Whatsapp group. They’ll all thanks me when we are there and they see it. Here’s a clue if you haven’t fallen for the clickbait 🍳🥞☕️
MORE TRAVEL 🧳 I enjoyed reading
’s travel packing edit so I think you will, too.FASHION 👟 Don’t tell Rishi but there’s a new Samba coming and my midlife other half is going to love these!!
THE SALES 🛍️ talking about footwear I’d been waiting and hoping that these clogs went in the sale and they did for £62.50 instead of £125.00. I do think Boden is generally overpriced at full price even though I love all of their pretty colours and designs. I’m a size 40 and they are true to size for me. They are lush. There are two other colour ways that have gone in the sale, too; Black and Golden Brown.
WORK 👩🏻💻 The Number of girls in England taking computing GCSE plummets, study finds - sad news for girls and the future of women in the workplace. Needed more than ever & now this!
TV 📺 Why You Might Want to Cut Back on TV as You Get Older. This caught my attention especially as I love TV and cinema. The points about internal ageism towards the end of the article particularly.
STREAMING 🍿 A Gentleman in Moscow.
Ewan McGregor plays a Russian aristocrat banished to live out the rest of his days in the aftermath of the Revolution in the fading grandeur of an old hotel. It seems rather romanticised but I think I liked that about it. I love a period drama and period costume and this has bags of that.
Mr McGregor plays it like the part was made for him.
BEAUTY 😍 I hope you saw and read my designer fragrance dupe yesterday?
It’s a good one!
Have a good weekend faffers!
Ciao for now,
Hitting the Like 💗 button and re-stacking is the most massive help in getting the word out on Substack about Best Before End Date.
ANNNNDDD .. I love conversations so the comments is good place to start those.
I’m massively appreciative of any support because writing this really is my jam 😊
Sharon, thank you SO much for shouting out and linking to my travel beauty post! I so appreciate it (just back, and don’t ask if extra baggage allowance had to be purchased for the return journey!). I’m definitely going to seek out that Next dupe!! (And I love a clog and animal print, so ….) Love this round-up, and honoured to be included, thank you, again!
