Hi US, thanks for helping out with the link, Tilly x

BookWorm

Good morning!

Goodness you are organised on the Xmas front. I thought I was doing well having bought some presents already. I tend to buy things as I see them early in the year and then start a proper list and buying things from September onwards to spread the cost. I don't wrap as I go along though - maybe I should as it always seems such a daunting task doing it all at once!
I'm also with you on the fact shops are horribly busy in December and I try to avoid them at all costs. Do love that fact we can shop online!! :T Life is definitely easier with that option

Have a good sunday

p.s - would you do my ironing too please? lol

Cuppa near me, the Archers on the radio, and mr T is just printing the bank/cc statements so that we can tie out spending diary, receipts.

Veggies, stuffing and chickens prepared for dinner this evening. I need some chicken stock and extra chicken for recipes this week, so thought I'd get two cooked,chuck the carcasses in the SC and make the stock tomorrow.

I had the most awful nightmare just before waking this morning - truly terrifying, so poor Mr T was woken for emergency hug and talking to. I cannot believe that a dream can be so lifelike. It's still in the back of my mind so may need to destract myself.

Off to have a read of diaries and then start on the financials.

Hi Bookworm, you and Froggy are as bad as each other :)

I am a bit peculiar in that I find ironing relaxing

I actually don't mind ironing too much but would still rather I didn't have to do it! LOL:rotfl:

Thanks unhappy shopper for the link - you're a star:j.
Fingers crossed living in the frozen north will get me on the panel, wonder if they do heating oil vouchers:D

You are most welcome. I am also in the frozen - well, not-as-yet-frozen northwest. If only, the surveys rewarded us with energy/fuel vouchers instead of shopping, it would have been nice.

For those interested in joining the rival Nielsen Consumer panel - yet another scanning survey - here is the link. I have read somewhere that this is less rewarding than S&S and a bit cumbersome too. But, I have applied for this recently and have been accepted.

Good night, fellow MFWs:)

Hi Tilly,

I'm a seriously long time lurker here and I too have just read your diary and wow your are an inspiration to so many people :j (I may start my own diary after much debate over the last few years!)

I was wondering if you could PM the name of the site that you get your lodgers from as I have lodgers to pay back the money I borrowed from the bank of mum and dad to buy my house but I'm struggling to find the right one atm?

Thanks in advance,

Littlefred

Hi Littlefred, my advice would be to start a diary. I lurked for over a year and I should have just started. Thanks for your lovely comments. So many people inspired me and it's great to know I can do the same

I'll look out for you. I have PMd the site to you.

Good luck, Tilly x
