    Hope Mr T and DS are feeling better today Tilly?

    Been catching up a bit on the 2 years I've missed, you're (still) an amazing inspiration! And I can't believe you're so far past your total beginning with a 1, not a 2, that you're almost at it being 5 figures instead of 6!! :D :j :j

    Hello,

    Sorry that things have been all a bit much. Very glad that things looked better this morning and no doubt the sunshine today has helped. Do take care of yourself,

    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Hi Tilly

    Sorry to hear you've had a cruddy day and that the men in the family are poorly. Hope they get better soon.

    I think you are most definitely allowed fish and chips ;)

    Big hugs

    Fish and chips were great :)

    I hope you are currently in the queue, in the chipper, thinking - Haddock or cod? Cod or haddock? You've got to eat well and keep your strength up Tilly if you've patients to look after. Fish and Chips is nutritionally a balanced meal to boot :D

    :j She's going to make such a mark on the world, isn't she!

    I am pretty sure that most of the kids from DFW/MFW families are far better educated financially, than their peers.

    If we all pass on what we learn and help them learn, what a gift for life they will receive.

    DD has just booked train tickets using TCB - go girl :)

    Just caught up with the last few days of your diary (the other 400 pages are very tempting displacement activity but I have to get back to my studies! ;) ). Those totals are amazing - you have done so well. Subscribing now...

    Hi Mizmir, I reckon you have your settings on the minimum number of posts per page :). Not that I am advocating you read my whole diary, unless you really can't sleep and need a sleep aid, but changing how many posts to a page would help you, for any diaries you read :)

    Get back to studying :)

    What a lovely surprise, how are you doing?

    When we went from 3 to 2 I was excited but that was nothing in comparison to the 2 to 1 :T:T :T To think we are so close to being 5 figures is AMAZING.

    There will be a few :j:j when I post that we have gone under £100k :T

    I heard some potential good news today and I just have to play my cards right. I am hopeful I will be able to go at some point next year, under one scheme or another. I have made my desire to go very well known, at a number of levels.

    That has taken a huge amount of stress of my shoulders straight away.

    Hope school is ok when you go back. I can't begin to imagine how tough it is to be a teacher these days.

    Best wishes, Tilly x
