  • Afternoon all

    Grey day but sun is trying hard 😊

    Things with mum are difficult but I do understand why - she knows she's struggling and I seem to be the only one prepared to face it with her.

    Happy news - offer made and accepted on our house. We are both extremely happy to be MFW as we walk away with all the pennies - unbelievably amazing - well apart from fees etc.

    We have a couple of places to view on Saturday but early days.

    Really excited about the future.

    Squirrel- it's definitely difficult at our age still being in the doghouse with parents 😶

    Maybe we could all have a virtual 'house leaving' party?


    Best wishes Tilly xx

  • Morning, I'm definitely neglecting my diary recently but it has served its purpose over the years.

    We've found a house to buy 😊

    No idea when we're moving but I have a spreadsheet of house contents and I'm starting the sell/ship process. So glad I KMd the house a few years ago as it makes things much easier on the sparking joy front. There are very few items that will be shipped to Portugal - fingers crossed - the garage will be built February time and can then be on site storage whilst the house is being renovated.

    Mr T and I are looking forward to our adventures.

    Thanks everyone for dropping in and catching up.

    Best wishes Tilly xx

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Evening, helpful call with my kitchen design specialist, AKA Gallygirl 😉

    All plans on track ish - few curve balls thrown in to keep us on our toes.

    Excited to be able to garden plan and get my veggies growing.

    Hope everyone is well, warm and safe.
