    Well, can I just say who needs a holiday book when your diary is so inspiring Tilly! I've read it all(!) in my 3 weeks away and you have given me so many ideas for when we move and can start tackling a mortgage of our own.
  • On page 21...long way to go.

    Well done on the e-bay sales by the way, that's something I have really got to look into this year.

    Laura you deserve way more than a gold medal for reading the entire diary :T

    Misscousinitt, if you have the strength of character to read all my diary, paying your mortgage off will be a doddle :j

    Best wishes to everyone.

    Very impressive ebay sales! Well done :)
  • well done on the ebay sales, I am thinking of trying this again, and you have inspired me.

    Polly, i sold an old water tank last year to scrap metal place and got £65 for it. Our plumber had offered to dispose of it for us, very glad we didn't take him up on his "kind" offer!

    Hi Tilly, sorry I've been missing for a few days, well done on the eBay sales, I'm almost tempted to try it, hope things go well with the lodger
  • Evening or should I say morning. Very long day, in bed and having a glorious lie in tomorrow :T

    Meeting friends for dinner and a long dog walk with them before hand.

    I have dug out the kids PSPs, walkie talkie set and video camera ready for the next selling extravaganza. Some stuff has been collected early afternoon and everything is boxed, wrapped, ready to go tomorrow. Mr T is on post office duty :)

    Night, Tilly x x
