  • Hi TYO, I think GGs neighbours may complain soon, I'm sure I someone hanging over the front garden fence, I'll have to pop back and check. More importantly though, I can't find any Baileys, have you hidden some behind the sofa?

    :xmastree: OFFICIALLY ON HOLIDAY :xmastree:

    It certainly has been insane and the last two days have been the equivalent volume in work of five days - madness I tell you.

    Anyway, just preparing some veg as we have friends over for dinner. Great way to celebrate the beginning of the holidays :)

    NSD achieved - accidental picnic at work for lunch, which was fab.

    Have to take DD to work rather early tomorrow so intend coming back and jumping into bed for a couple of hours. Will be doing the remaining shopping tomorrow rather than tonight - not much at all so not worrying about it. I may have to throw people over my shoulders if they get in my way though, so keep an eye on the press.

    Have a great night and see you over at GGs later

    Tilly x

    Afternoon, dare I tell you I'm actually in bed, having slept for a couple of hours :rotfl:

    MF update. I had set a secret goal, sorry Mr T - of hitting £230k by end of year. Bonuses are being paid this month, not next, plus a small share of a sales bonus which I didn't expect means that we will finish year at £229,957 :j:j:j. It's been a difficult year in some respects but one of massive change in a positive way. We have a new respect for money - better late than never.

    I am off to make a cuppa now and then a soak in the bath :)

    Best wishes Tilly x

    :j:T:j Well done Tilly :j:T:j
    Made any big OP's recently ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
