Mr Tilly says he will see you on the Podium tomorrow evening - we have spent a lot of the night crying with laughter at the diving commentary.

GG, you mentioned earlier about me retraining I think, maybe I could take over from Stella?
Shopping slightly more expensive than I expected, as there were bargainous goods which will help my budget over the next few weeks.
Mountain biking is on now, I have never spent so much time watching the TV. Dogs are taking us for a walk mid afternoon.

Morning, well a very groggy morning. Like many, I am sure, we all stayed up to watch the closing ceremony and we overslept this morning. I thought it was a shame Diversity didn't do a stint. The lighting was truly phenomenal.
Moving on. This week the whole family are having a NS challenge. We can only do things which are free. The kids are spending time investigating what's on locally and we will give it a go.
We are also challenging ourselves to cycle to the town centre :T. Financial Bliss, if you read my diary at all, I don't think any of us could get to your standard, but having read your diary last night, we are all giving it a go. This is in an effort to stop jumping into the car for one off things. Therefore, it should help on a number of fronts - physical and financial
A week to payday and things are extremely tight - hence the challenge. Spending diary has been a big help and I will do some analysis after a couple of months to see where the money is leaking.
Have a good day all, and :beer: to our MSE preparation for the next Olympics, 2016 here we come.

Morning, NsD achieved yesterday and another on the cards today. Payday in under a week. We have resisted taking cash out of the bank yet - no intention of doing that until Friday

Woken to rain and hoping it improves
I forgot to add that the freezer was re-sorted over the weekend, due to the additional bargainous shopping - maybe this is where the £ are going
. Plus I have updated the meal plans. I have served salads either with, or as the main meal quite often over the last few weeks, due to the amount of salad leaves in the garden.
It's the quiet time before payday so no real updates. This is the first week I haven't OPd lodger money though but I will do once pay day arrives.
Best wishes, Tilly x2004 £387k 29 years - MF March 2033:eek:
