  • Thanks Cath - on one hand it seems quick and on the other, I know our focus can't waiver.

    I would quite like to write a cookery book but find it hard to believe there's room for another, and trying to find a niche would be pretty difficult. This demonstzrates that my desire is not enough, otherwise I would be writing it already :rotfl:

    Enjoy your day Tilly x

    You could pen the book 'Cookery handbook for a busy working Mom' without any problem as you have the gift of words. :D

  • Hi US, you have got me started now - I have toyed with writing (something) for years. Will have to discuss with Mr T.

  • Hi Radish, given you were one of the people who inspired me to start a diary, I can pretty much guarantee you will be OPing almost before you make your first mortgage payment :):):)

    Good luck, Tilly x x x

    Afternoon TYO, GG is counting down by months and it seemed a good idea. I haven't before as the mortgage was so huge, however, now that we are making inroads, it doesn't feel as daunting. I am not under estimating the journey, but I can see that we are really progressing - thank goodness we left the Spanish bank.

    Have a good week, Tilly x

    Tilly

    Please make a website which is an interactive cookery book

    So when I look at the random things in the cupboard and the stuff about to go off in the fridge, I can type in what I have and it finds me a recipe :)

    (who has just made lasagna without checking how many lasagna sheets there where, so has done a creative criss-cross pattern with some spaghetti and then covered with sauce/cheese)

    None are any good though, Mrs T's would be better :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
