    Just finished watching Hang Over II with Mr T - weird film, some bits funny, some bits spent thinking 'where is this going' but overall not bad.

    Lamb was nom nom nom and poached chicken is going to be sliced and frozen ready to make a quick meal in the week.

    Heard from DD and DS and they are having a great time - they make a positive contribution to society in one way or another which is amazing.

    Ironing is finished so Mr T and I are having a leisurely morning, lunch is an 'empty all the leftovers from the fridge and be creative' special :D.

    Still have two possibly three lodgers to meet next week. Only looking for one but as one only wants three months accommodation, who knows may be two, may be none.

    Night, Tilly x x

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    And here..... So fed up with it but it is now getting quite funny. Will it still be snowing in June?
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    You'd have to dig down about 2 foot to find a garden round here natty! It's not that it snowed lots, but it drifted into huge piles. Some of the lanes round us have drifts higher than the cars driving down them.

    It's like Mr Whippy has just gone bonkers!!!

    No more snow overnight :):)

    I've just cancelled my magazine direct debit, to make sure I don't forget and end up paying for more. 6 months of H&G will be enough and I'm re-reading old Gardeners World mags at the moment :o

    18p TT OP :)

    Mr T gets paid tomorrow and I can money shuffle in earnest.

    I need to order more dog food, so that will be on line, but I save money in the animal savings pot now, which is good news.

    We popped to cost@ yesterday and picked up some cleaning staples which are in my garage now. Roll on the good weather so we can do a car boot though - it's getting a little full :eek:

    Have a good week and roll on Thursday evening :)

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Het Tilly you sound set for the week. I'm having a day off today with OH, trying not to spend too much but at the same time, trying to make sure I don't go off plan with my Slimming World plan. Square pegs & round holes!!!:rotfl:

    Waiting for postie to deliver all 3 CC statements so I can see the fruits of my labours. Setting up the Tilly Tidy account today.

    Have a good Monday!;)

    So glad it's not snowed in my area! I can't be dealing with that stuff!
    Loving all the cooking Tilly... I wish my DOH was a lot less fussy and then I could eat delectable items such as those you describe.
    DOH grew up a vegeterian after deciding at young age he didnt like the texture of meat. He's over it a bit now, but still wont eat Lamb, Beef or Pork (unless it's in bacon or sausage form)
