Countdown to Freedom

I had to pop into Superdr&g today and Mr Tilly asked me to price some aftershave up.

Do you use Cheapsmells.com? I love this site and I always use it to buy perfume as it is free delivery (for most items) and I earn cashback through TCB at the same time. They are based in Gurnsey so you save a lot on tax.

No problem, happy to save people money .

It could take me a while to catch up with your diary! It's really useful reading your diary as we have a fairly hefty mortgage ourselves. We need all the tips we can to get to our goals.
Thanks for the compliment on my crafting- I really don't consider myself talented but it helps me to relax. I'm sure you'd be as good if you tried- I only started seriously under a year ago. There is so much help online.

Morning, summer has arrived, no idea how long it will remain, so will enjoy it whilst we can. Off to see family this morning but will be taking a picnic on a bike ride late afternoon. Bargainous ham, bargainous rolls, and some fruit. Plus some muffins made by DS.

A little gardening remains for early afternoon plus some more salad leaves to sow. I tend to sow every 2/3 weeks to make sure we have enough through to October ish.

No real money updates.

I have to look for a new lodger as early notice is likely - resigned from company with new job elsewhere so I will need to start looking. However I need to check total rent received this financial year, to check we are still ok. There always seem to be people looking so I am not worried about finding someone. The rents have gone up as well, but I don't feel right charging more, so maybe this will make us attractive. That money forms part of my OP so once I have checked the rent income, I will know whether we will have a gap for a few months

Off to drink tea in the garden and then jump in the car.

Best wishes on this glorious sunny day

How beautiful the weather was yesterday and what a difference it makes. Have woken to sun again today and off for a dog walk shortly.

Dinner will be pork fillet marinated in soy and five spice with a salad which will have a sesame dressing.

Money - a couple of 20p pieces added to mortgage Xmas pig. Lunch made for work today. £co payment of £2.04 on its way and I have some extra vouchers from Tesc@ I need to look at, and determine whether it makes sense to pop in this week. Dog food ordered - thnks PWD - it worked out half price :T

Mr Tilly and I had a long chat yesterday evening - where we were in November, where we are, journey ahead. It looks like he may consider some reskilling as well, so that we are able to work together in a few years. Has to be a long term plan, ie over about 5 years but I am delighted. I can really crack in with the research now to see whether it is viable.

Weight, after losing a lot of weight earlier in the year, I have put on 8 lbs again - I have posted previously that I put some back on, but I thnk the weather has made me quite low and I have eaten more rubbish. Plus thinking about this, i was ill for a few weeks, so that didint help. Not a good excuse but I do need to lose them before the 8 becomes 10 :eek: This week I am off to a boot camp - its an inside one, so if it rains I have no excuse - not sure whether Mr Tilly is joining me but will keep persuading, quietly.

No more bottles emptied from booze cupboard yesterday, but one final jar of pickly stuff should be finished this week.

Another busy week ahead but looking forward to a challenge on the horizon - it is going to be pretty stressful but I am approaching it slightly differently. I will know more after today and it will be interesting to watch whether I can tackle it with a new mindset. Lets see

Gardening - I had to empty one bag of potatoes as the dogs grabbed the bag - the weather has really damaged the crops. I have a handful which will make a meal for 4 this week. The other bags have performed better thank goodness.

Have a good week everyone - soon be Friday :T. Hang on, that's my life I am wishing away.

Morning, sun streaming through the windows :T. Dinner eaten in the garden. Bottle of wine to celebrate the weather.

Huge salad planned for this evening - need to enjoy this weather before it disappears.

Packed lunch made to take to work and another NSD ahead. I never count how many but I think we are racking up a few per month.

I think that's it. Oh lodgers money OPd - am getting annoyed by how long Tolun@ takes to process/pay out. Made a claim weeks ago and am still waiting for the amaz@n voucher.

Have a fab sunny day

I think Tolun@ is psychic- voucher available today so it's now sitting in the Amaz@n account, plus TCB one was available on line today too. Finally two more weeks and another S@S £10 Amaz@n voucher claimable :T

I need to check how referrals work with S&S as I have no clue how it operates.

I have tried for Pinec@ne twice but rejected both times. Not sure whether they look for different profiles at various times or whether our profile just doesn't meet their needs.

I mailed into a company the other day, to complain about lack of customer service - I received a mail today with a £5 voucher plus a mail which indicates they listened - or it's a standard response - I hope not

Enough paragraphs beginning with 'I', so off to put the kettle on.

I too tried registering for PC sometime back, but was rejected as my profile was not what they were looking for. Last month, I registered in my OH's name and was accepted. So, my guess is that you should apply in Mr.Tilly's name to get accepted to the panel. HTH.

Hi UH, that never crossed my mind - I will see if anyone has a referral to pass on - thanks for up the advice.

Best wishes Tilly x
