So.

House is a mess.
If I tidy that then no time to do back garden.
If I do back garden then no time to do front garden.
If I do front garden then no time to sort out washing which there is no point in doing anyway until I've put way the rest of the clean washing.
If I do laundry there is no time to take car to get cleaned and it's filthy.
If I take car to get cleaned then no time to menu plan and shop and cook.
If I menu plan, shop and cook then no time to see sick relative.
If I see sick relative then no time to talk to btl tenants and solve issues.
If I do sort out btls then no time to talk to friends and family and make arrangements to see them that I then have to cancel as I'm too busy. So I will die all alone, surrounded by newspapers :cool:.
If I do talk to them then no time to do banking.
If I do banking then no time to come on here.
If I come on here then no time to have a bath.
If I have no time to have a bath then I need to have a shower in the morning, in the shower that doesn't drain properly as I have no time to fix it.
If I fix the shower I have no time to sort out the paperwork in the study, meaning the paper gremlins take over.
If I sort out the paper gremlins I don't have time to keep myself 'trimmed' meaning I resemble a gremlin also .
If I keep myself 'trimmed' then the place becomes a mess.
Repeat ad infinitum.

Sound familiar to anyone?

Brilliant :T:T:T

I was hoping for helpful suggestions really :rotfl:.

Forgot one:

If I xxx I have no time to meal plan so spend too much money and Tilly will not be my friend any more .

DS is moving out next weekend (:j:j:j:beer::j:j:j) so that will give me no excuses to not get stuff sorted. Am actually considering freezer sorting and meal planning the following weekend and taking a day off work to do some batch cooking etc the following week :eek:. Menu planning will be easy, won't use cookbooks, will just trawl the diaries for inspiration :rotfl:.

Just gone on mysupermarket to check out bargains - will do a mini-meal plan till next weekend. Fresh Brussels on offer in Mr T :T. Nom nom nom .

All this is part of my cunning plan to lose weight so I can fit into my clothes and not buy new ones . Back to fat club tonight :eek:.

Have a good day all

Morning, just need L!dl added and we're sorted.

Slimm!ng W@rld recipes are featuring frequently in our menu plan. I don't think DS realised it was a diet book :rotfl:

Have a good day, Tilly x x

Yummy gammon steaks courtesy of SW tonight :T.

Decided my finances are too simple :cool:. Need to maximise Tesco points (now I know I can use on Monarch :j) whilst still getting £5 Halifax Reward. So:
- all Tesco spends on CCard
- spend £300 on Halifax card each month (shouldn't be difficult and have a cunning plan if necessary.......)
- all other CCard spends then on Tesco
- grocery shopping etc on Tesco
- new savings account opened (1.5%, go me :rotfl:). Will move all normal monthly spends on Tesco immediately from bank account to here, ready for bill
- enjoy the free holidays
- reap the benefits of the interest. Probably around £3 a year. Woah baby :rotfl:.

Of course, I need a new spreadsheet :T.

:rotfl::rotfl: I feel quite exhausted after that :rotfl::rotfl:

Go girl :T

My utility room is clean and tidy with all clean undies etc in basket ready to put away and ironing all folded (ready to take to cleaner ).

Will let you draw your own conclusions about everywhere else :rotfl:.

Sometimes you just have to prioritise and clean undies would win for me too:D

84p Tilly Tidy :T

-£350 for DS mattress

-£44 for new bedding I saw yesterday and have tracked down and ordered (didn't have my size in store). I blame MWC for having a funky, colourful house and making mine seem boring* .

-£59.99 for new digital pressure cooker

So, mortgage will be paid off in no time :rotfl:





(*oh no, hope I like it, should have gone for the nice safe beige one )
