    Just popping by to say hi :hello: and agree that yes you've been inspirational :)

    Hope you're having a wonderful year in Portugal x
  • I've had fun trying to get back on here today :rotfl:

    There's been quite a lot happening in the Tilly household this year. I'll catch up with what's happening with diaries over the next few days and update on what's happening in RL.

    Suffice to say, there's never a dull moment and don't expect a house to take a year to sell - it can be done in 2 days!!!!!

    Best wishes

    nice to see you back lovely lady
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Hurrah! So glad you're back Tilly, looking forward to hearing your news. I've re-read your diary this year, we managed to remortgage back in Jan/Feb (after a period of redundancy and being stuck on an interest only mortgage) so it's been inspirational all over again!
  • Yay! Tilly's back :j Lovely to see you and I can't wait to hear your news.
