    Mornings are my productive time of the day Pixie, after lunch I plod a bit and then invariably have a nap :)
    Wardrobe is done - a few bits for Vinted from there, one really nice dress that I got in the M&S sale last year, still has tags on as I have another very similar one, so the new one is going on Vinted, I don't need two almost identical dresses.

    The bottom of the wardrobe wasn't as bad as I feared - a couple of bits that had fallen off hangers and need washing / ironing again, and then I sorted my boots / shoes, two old pairs of boots binned, the rest will me fine for another winter and I don't need to buy a new pair after all. 

    I need to hoover the bottom of the wardrobe before they go back in but ds is still asleep so that will need to wait a bit.

    And as predicted i lost my mojo after lunch :) I did manage to take everything to the textiles bank so I can't be tempted to save any bits :)

    I have also done a couple of loads of washing and cooked a chicken. The last card payment came through too so another £43 to add to the pot :)

    Ds appeared from his bedroom last night with a binbag of rubbish for me and also proceeded to fill the washing basket again. He and his mate ordered deliveroo last night so there is all that packaging rubbish too. They have gone off super early this morning to trek to Liverpool for the football so I have the house to myself today, A trip to the tip this morning to get rid of the rubbish (otherwise the wheelie bin will be full already), then some pottering, see Mum and then a footie afternoon :)

    Last night I went to see a friend and stayed over, had a lazy breakfast then came home and watched football. Did some food shopping, then had a bath. Feeling nice and chilled :) Realised I only have two weeks of the summer hols left, overall quite pleased with how my to do list has gone, although I keep thinking of things I haven't put on it like getting the duvets dry cleaned. One other thing I meant to put on the list was setting up Apple pay on my phone and downloading Stocard for my loyalty cards. All done this afternoon, now to test it out :) I can also finally get myself a normal phone case rather than a granny one with the bit for cards in it :)

    Morning all, up, showered and ready for the day. Today I'm meeting a friend for coffee at 10 but other than that have no plans yet. I do want to get the bits on Vinted that I sorted from my wardrobe. Not quite sure what the weather is up to yet, one minute it's dark grey clouds, then it looks like it's brightening, we'll see. 

    My new bank account is all set up but no sign of the £200 yet, might need to chase that today.

    Coffee was lovely, had a good natter :) 

    Nothing has gone on Vinted yet but I have got lots done in the front garden today, very happy with it, not so happy with the aching back now :)
