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

Can I just point out that no napkins were harmed during the design process .

And frighteningly, we understood each other completely :eek: :rotfl:.

Hi - normally a lurker but just read your diary start to finish over the course of about a week and it's inspirational! I'm lurking on MFW for inspiration as I'm saving for a deposit with my OH - he agrees with the idea of OPing already! (Once student overdraft banished for good in less than a fortnight!)

Good luck to Miss and Master T - sounds like Miss T is doing something very similar to what I did (I've just graduated so would be a few years older than her) - and it's a long slog but well worth it!

Thanks for your diary and I'm looking forward to your next adventures!

Hi Ab-saver, wish I'd started this journey at your age 😉. Whether you clear capital or invest to increase £, just knowing that you are doing the right thing is brilliant.

Good luck with your plans and if you've started a diary I'll find you. This is a great forum for advice and support.

Best wishes Tilly xxx

Morning, operation 'sell the skin off your back' seems to have hit the Tilly household.

Garage of doom 50% sorted yesterday. I am nearly out of loo rolls :eek::eek::eek:

FB and EB have lots of items for sale or free. Some already collected yesterday, there today and more finish next weekend. Even after KMing previously I cannot believe what we still have. I'm guessing that what sparks joy one time can pall in the interim.

Mr T has been Annie Sloaning an old bedside table - circa 1992 Argos so a real treasure. This is a trial before 'real' furniture is painted.

CS has benefitted from crockery, mugs, glasses, saucepans.

Only new items being purchased are a study lamp and two bedside lamps for our room. Mr T noticed yesterday that the current ones don't match - don't match :eek: They haven't matched for 18 years :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just realised I'm lying about the new purchases. Mr T has bought a new magnetic whiteboard. He has had his for 16 years and the 'cleanability' has gone. £25 instead of £76 :T

I've also decided to sell another fridge today. How many armchairs, fridges and freezers does one family need I wonder . Off to clean said fridge now and get it uploaded before I change my mind.

Best wishes Tilly xx

So exciting reading plans and hearing them come together

I love that Mr T has only just decided to notice/ do something about non matching lamps after all this time!

Look behind the chairs. Or the fridges or freezers.

Another top tip - don't order any off Amazon if you've had a few drinks :rotfl:.

Morning, what a week. Spent 2.5 days completely floored with flu and now feel quite out of sorts.

Sold a fair bit on eb@y this week with more finishing this weekend.

Removal quotes varied from £2k all in to over £4k :eek: We are going with a local family company.

DS is having a great time - working hard but definitely the right thing for him. DD is enjoying her freezer of takeaway food. HM curries and stews etc. She'll have a batch cook day before she goes back to Uni in the New Year. This will help empty stuff from our freezer too.

Garden looks sad but I don't feel like it is ours now. Much planning is underway for new one.

Right - cup of tea time methinks.
