    Popped over to mums for a morning cuppa and exchange of bits, she has stewed some apples which is one of my favourite wintery ways of getting a portion of f&v in

    Free exercise of half wussy situps
    You started doing yours @KajiKita? 😘

    Shower and hairwash with freebie toiletries

    Changed the bedding. Rest of big flat clean will happen at some point 😁

    Good steps with Mr PIP making the most of the sunshine and getting olio breads (and Eccles cakes nom)

    Beer with camra discount, did financial planning- won £4.90 (headed for build aim pot)

    Dinner is supermarket deal but we get double the amount of meals out of them than they're intended to be so we're considering that mse when we're knackered!

    Hope everyone is having a no bad vibes allowed Sunday 🥂

    Ugh, definitely prioritise getting rid of lurgy @KajiKita Take Vitamin C and zinc! And gargle with TCP though if I remember correctly you think that's worse than a cold 😁
