    Dinner for this evening is leftovers from the weekend

    Be there around 6 :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Another one looking forward to half term, feel like I don't see my dd anymore!

    As always Tilly am enjoying reading your diary, you are even getting me into the Christmas spirit with your countdown.

  • Can you remind me why I am on this journey please. Have had a day from hell at work and could happily sell the Uk house and buy something outright with the capital. Had enough today

  • Awww Tilly. Sounds like a 'mare of a day. But deep breath... hug from MrT and start tomorrow a fresh. Selling up now would just be running away from it all instead of wrapping things up properly like you planned.

    Tilly, I think you are on this journey to inspire us all. Your heroic feats of mortgage over-payments, menu-planning, volunteering, looking after your family (and then some!), e-baying, and of course not forgetting of your ability to iron and not moan about it, are merely by-products:D

    Tomorrow will be better X

    Tilly

    Sorry you've had such a bad day..

    However, selling the UK place and moving away is like quitting.. That would be like giving up and letting the financial institutions of this country win.. Tilly, you are leading the fight, and we follow you..
    What kind of inspiration would this be to the Mini T's? When it gets hard, Mum quits? That's not what you've taught any of us.. When I was down in the gutter, you were the first one to offer a hand, pick me up and put me right back on track..

    I know the journey is long and the end never seems to be in sight.. Yours is April 2016, and knowing you, you will beat and demolish this target..

    Tilly, dust yourself off, pour yourself a drink, realise how far you've come and join us back on the right path!

  • Tilly's either having a slightly too long drink or has gotten more than a hug from MrT!!!
