Countdown to Freedom

I hope the OH and DD are better. It may be worth your DD putting in extenuating (?sp) circumstances as she may not perform as well as if she was ully fit. I did this in my finally year as I had terrible hayfever and sneezed literally every 2 minutes. I'm sure it was more irritating for my fellow students!

Evening, these antibiotics are fab - for all those who don't believe in them, apologies but they have really helped...


...MRN, can I have the recipe for easy hollandaise as I've never heard of that - I'd like to try with some salmon from the freezer.

You are lucky to get this recipe without a lecture on antibiotics!!!

The recipe requires having all ingredients apart from the egg yolks hot before they're added to the blender so heat them in a microwave or in a pan first.

Blend 2 large egg yolks till the colour lightens a little. Slowly add 1 dessert spoon of white wine vinegar and 1 dessert spoon of lemon juice (pre-mixed and pre-warmed) while blending. Slowly add 110g of butter (separately pre-warmed but not boiled/browned) while blending. Done.

Remind lodger to pay food money

I forgot that your lodger joined you for food...and that your food spending probably includes that. I may need to go and hang my head in shame

Yikes Tilly this tread is moving as fast as your ops!
Hope the family are feeling better, the thought of that soup had me feeling better from here!

Hi AJ, yes food money is for basically 5 adults and I promise I am absolutely honest about my spending . However, I really do believe we are conditioned in a supermarket to spend. There are high cost behavioural guys working for them, using every trick in the book to make us part with our cash. That's one of the reasons we go round Costc@ backwards, ie start at the checkouts and walk the wrong way round the store.

Hi PWD, El, LittleFred, DD and Mr T are feeling much better and it is such a relief as its gone on for a few days with no improvement.

Hi MRN, thanks for not telling me off - I am feeling better than I have since early October so it has helped. Thanks for the recipe, I'll have a go next week :)

Getting close to pay day :)

Lovely fish cakes and I made a big salad to go with them mmmmmmm. As no one seems to be eating a lot I didn't bother with rice etc.

NSD achieved

Best wishes Tilly

I am hoping that online shopping may counteract that, going to give it a go at the end of the month.

Hope everyone is starting to feel better and the exam went well. Had a few days off catching up, has taken me ages! Lovely to read so many posts though.

Glad the Tilly household are now recovered, I was beginning to think wonder what was going on


A quick a/c tidy (not sure whether I should start calling them Tilly tidies as well :rotfl:), so 98p (go me ) sent across today.

Looks like Mr T has chosen a car, just in negotiation phase now, eighteen months old, very low mileage so hopefully this all sorts itself out.

Will have to take some cash from the offset to fund the car but we will have an extra push to put it back ASAP. Mr T and the DKs are primed and ready to go

I've not been on line much last night, nor at all until now and I can safely say I've really missed the MFW family. We are very fortunate to have so many people who understand our dreams to be MF and also lend hands to help when needed. Big thanks

Best wishes Tilly
