I am well and truly back in the saddle and loving it :T

Things always come out in the wash.

Evening, it's lovely to have such positive comments, so thank you. We have all learnt a great deal over the year of lurking and the year of having a diary. It's great to see the kids teaching their friends and that does make me laugh.

This week I'm finding the lack of work evening bar opening in the Tilly household difficult. I could just do with a G&T but instead I'm having orange squash, somehow it's not hitting the spot :rotfl:

Wednesday tomorrow and after that it's downhill to the weekend. Unusually we are having a quiet weekend, the first one in weeks and I am really looking forward to a peaceful weekend.

Have a good evening

Hi Tilly

I have been a long time lurker on this board. I dont have a diary yet, however started op the mortgage in August of this year. I have been reading a lot of diary's looking for tips, ideas etc.

I am currently reading yours (from the start)) do you have any advice for a newbie. e.g it was from your diary that I learned that I could pay my BT landline in advance and save.

Thanks in advance for your help and congrats on you amazing op

Hi IrishLassie, somewhere in my diary there is a long list I put together of loads of things I did to save money. As you are reading through (well done you) you'll stumble on it and I think that will be a help.

Good luck and start a diary sooner rather than later, it's a huge help :)

Best wishes Tilly x

To save you time, basically:

• Spend less :cool:
• Overpay ridiculously small amounts of money as well as mahoosive ones
• Don't leave the drinks cabinet unattended :rotfl:

Hi IrishLassie,

There are a few of us who garden. Between Xmas and the new year I will be sitting with my books planning out the raised beds - rotational planting, ooh get me with my gardening terms. I'm still using lettuce from the garden, under cloches :T

Don't be led astray by the parties :rotfl:

Not sure my liver can take it.. But like a good trooper, I will soldier on!

Must remember to pack paracetamol...
