The cutest 🦒

Just adore this little giraffe! 🦒

Comment below if you would like me to stock them

✨ Who loves a gorgeous perfume without the designer price tag?

I personally use these Yodeyma dupes and absolutely love them! They smell amazing, I find them very long lasting, and they’re a fraction of the price of my designer favourites 🤎

I’m thinking of stocking them in the salon—would anyone be interested?

Let me know below, and if you already use them, tell me your favourite! 👇

🕷️ FRED’S HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 🎃
Operation: TRICK OR TREAT… CHECK YOUR STOCK

Well… I’m back.

Before Joanna starts boarding up the letterbox, it’s a VISIT.

Mabel suggested taking our 200 children trick-or-treating.

“Lovely,” I said. “Shall we split them into groups?”

“Yes. You take 199. I’ll take the difficult one.”

Apparently she meant me. 😂

Getting ready was a bloody nightmare.

Forty witches.
Thirty vampires.
Sixty ghosts.

The rest refused to get dressed until somebody found the RIGHT pumpkin bucket.

One came downstairs dressed as a hairball.

“Where’s your costume?”

“I’m going as Dad when he lived at the salon.”

Cheeky little sod.

Anyway, I put my Dracula cape on.

Mabel said, “Suck your stomach in.”

“I’m a vampire, love. Not a bloody Dyson.”

First stop… ivy & ink.

Karin opened the door.

“TRICK OR TREAT!”

“Oh, Fred! How many have you brought?”

“Just the immediate family.”

She looked down the street.

Then back at me.

Then quietly put her w**e down.

Joanna appeared.

“ONE SWEET EACH.”

“Of course, love. Nobody’s taking advantage.”

I turned round.

“Children, Auntie Joanna would like you to come forward in alphabetical order.”

She’d aged six years by the letter C.

Terri asked why one of them was wrapped in toilet roll.

“He’s a mummy.”

“Well, he’s unravelling.”

“So am I, love. There’s 200 of them.”

Then Betty the Basin started shouting:

“FRED’S BACK! FRED’S BACK!”

Honestly. One afternoon without a head in her and she turns into neighbourhood watch.

Mabel asked me to count the children before we left.

I got to 176.

Then one moved.

Had to start again.

Meanwhile, number 92 had climbed onto Joanna’s shoulder and whispered:

“Have you got any more sweets?”

Joanna’s scream set off three car alarms and gave him his first proper Halloween memory. 🎃

Eventually Karin said:

“Fred, we’ve run out.”

“Of sweets?”

“Yes.”

“What about biscuits?”

“No.”

“Loyalty points?”

“GOODNIGHT, FRED.”

Fair enough.

We got home with 200 children, seventeen buckets of sweets and a tiny ghost nobody recognised.

Mabel said, “That’s YOUR child.”

“How can you tell?”

“He’s eating chocolate in the cupboard and pretending he can’t hear me.”

Definitely mine.

Love,
Fred 🕷️

Apparently “bring the family” has limits.
