    Have to admit apart from the first one it did cheer my up also


    Does anyone else think of B.A Baracas when Tilly talks about Mr T? I keep visualising gold chains and a fear of flying :)

    Although I imagine Tilly would've had the gold sold and mortgage paid off by now if this was the case:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • Morning El, I certainly would have done, including any gold teeth :rotfl:

    he doesn't have any gold teeth btw

    Up early to celebrate the fact it is FRIDAY :j:j:j:j:j.

    Pea surprise soup made. Was supposed to be chunky pea soup but after I'd prepped the leek, onion and celery I discovered I only had a handful of peas :o. Topped up with broad beans and spinach, so will be surprised if you get any peas :rotfl:. It's very em.... colourful :). Well, actually, it's just very green :D.

    £50 yougov money in, paid off btl with an extra £3 :T. Has brought pay off date from 28th March next year to 1st March :T. Only another £193 to make it 28th Feb but that will be it then as all projected decent amounts are included and I can't see me finding an additional £1350 from Tillytidy's to knock a month off ;). Will be happy with 28th Feb :T.

    Off to London on choo choo, best look to see where meeting is, never been to this place before so will need a map I think.

    GG :D.

  • Liking the illustrated diary too. Am not posting my fave though 'cos you'll all think me a weirdo. Well, maybe you already do.

    This made me laugh today:

    Findus have a new advertising song ... "Champion, lasagne sauce"

    :D

    Happy nearly spring.
