    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all...

    I neglected to mention today when I posted yesterday so today's list is:
    - cook a big batch of chilli for lunch today and a couple of meals in the week
    - do floors in the house
    - tidy and hoover the car (not going to pay £7 a go at the hand car wash anymore!)
    - bake a dessert for dinner at my friend's place tomorrow (hopefully all ingredients from stores)
    - de-clutter and list some things on ebay
    - 2x loads of washing (overcast here today but there's a breeze and hopefully no rain so it can line dry)
    - have a nap as I'm still recovering from jet lag and fighting off a cold, eek!

    I think that'll just about do for a Sunday :)
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    You should get yourself a Buff for round your neck. You can use it as a bobble/headband if it's not raining. I got a cheap Decathlon own brand one. Hope it goes well xx

    So yesterday I went to get a new bank account with Barclays, turned out they were closed so that was pointless!
    Today OH wanted to look for a new phone (I'm having his old Blackberry instead of renewing my contract and going on payg!) so we will do that this afternoon.
    Play with the naughty kitten as he's super hyper after his jabs and very sleepy day yesterday
    Go to my mum and dads to see my big brother, love it when we're altogether
    Do 3 loads of 30degree quick washes and hang on the line as never gets done in the week
    Do house work
    OH wants to go see Attack of the Block so he's treating me to that!

    Have a lovely Sunday!
    Life is too short not to love what you do.
