Morning TwinnyD and Brizzle, glad to report no electric blanket required last night . Have woken to heavy sky and no doubt more rain on the cards.

Have a good Friday - where are the weeks going?

Can I brag, the last 2 days we have had sun up north, sit in the garden type sun

Morning, DH has been accepted for another Myst Dining extravaganza, but this time with the 4 of us, so looking forward to that this evening :T.

Table tennis table building is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, so that's going to be fun - I hope it's fairly straight forward, plus, given the weather, it's going in the garage rather than outside.

I have had a couple of weeks of switching my menu about so I need to rejig the menu this weekend. On the shopping front I reckon it will be about £35. I will OP an extra £25 from my food budget. Not long until payday :T

I have been investigating Gumbranch for selling a few bits of furniture. No idea how successful this method is, so if anyone has any experience, or pitfalls I need to be aware of, please let me know.

Finally,I am still struggling with Tesc@. They owe me clubcard points for things, around 8k of them and I am becoming very annoyed by their lack of ownership, how complicated can it be to do? No don't answer that one, I can just imagine.

Have a good day and I hope the sun is shining on you

Best wishes Tilly

Morning Tilly
fingers crossed for sun today too its felt like the middle of winter lately!
Table tennis table sounds good and fun for the days we get sun!
No idea re: tescos Im afraid, perhaps a strongly worded letter/email sometimes putting in writing kicks people up the behind to get things sorted!

Morning TYO, I swear the air smelt autumnal yesterday. I was watching the news this morning, but didn't catch all the piece about birds in Wales, so will investigate later - it seemed to be saying birds which normally arrive later in the year, are there already :eek: world is barking mad

Have a good day and thanks for T advice - I think that will be the way to go as calls are not working.

Hi Tilly,
Gumbranch, like everything these days people will haggle, so either set you price as fixed or set it highter and decide your haggle price, good luck.

Can't believe the speed of your progress with your mortgage! In fact will be hoping you take on a new one soon so i can keep reading!

Hi PWD, thanks for GumBranch advice, I think I will put it on higher then they can haggle a bit. Will leave that to Mr Tilly - he loves haggling whilst I hide quietly in the corner hoping it will stop soon

The mortgage is dropping, well via offset it is, although I do make direct OPs too. From the outside in it may look quick but it is so hoofing that I wonder whether it will ever be gone. No more mortgage after that - remind me I said that in May 2016 - we will be MF for a month then and I can just imagine my mind. I love change and planning so I am always looking for something else to get stuck in to, which tells you a lot about me and relaxing. However, I have a good plan now which meets my needs and stops Mr Tilly hyperventilating when I talk to him :rotfl:

Have a good evening - IT'S FRIDAY :T:T

Morning, my body seems to have a sense of humour - this is no time to be awake on a weekend :eek:

BBC news has advised to prepare for the rain - no surprise there - however my raspberries are loving it and I am overrun with them. I am making a Victoria sponge this afternoon - I can't remember whether it was HFW or the Hairy B's who made this, someone did it for the WI with fresh raspberries mmmmm.

Shopping completed yesterday, just under £40, so a small OP possible to bridge the gap between spend and budget

I have found 2 x 20p pieces for mortgage Christmas present pig - where have all the 20ps gone? Payday shortly :T

Off to make a cuppa, Mr Tilly is still asleep so I will be tip toeing - hopefully someone, somewhere will have a sunny mid July day.

Best wishes Tilly x

Morning Tilly,
I got up early as well - about 4.20 I think it was, couldn't sleep :eek:
I have sorted out the recycling, started a shopping list, done all the washing up and cleaned the sink (I have a big white one that looks horrible if not clean), read the news online and had a shower so far.

Plenty of things left to do, but like you, don't want to do anything too noisy to disturb Mr W :rotfl:

Love the sound of the raspberry sponge

Have a good Saturday :j

Morning Dawn, you have put me to shame doing so many things. I have made two cups of tea, both for me, and sat outside drinking them, whilst it was dry. I love having my first cuppa n the garden, but that's been hit and miss over the last few weeks.

Have a good day Tilly x
