You have been busy as always.

Well done to your DD for saving...wish I had saved more when I was younger!

It's great watching our young one grow into wonderful adults ... I find with master el I have this enormous sense of pride and love I never thought achievable ... Well done Miss Tilly for learning one of life's difficult lessons from such a young age

Hope you manage to find the right lodger soon, I bet the house feels quiet. When I look back I am appalled at the amount of money I spent as a teenager. I've worked since I was 15 but didn't build up any savings. I improved once I hit about 19 though and became pretty good with money!

Hi Tilly

I have been reading your diary from the start, currently on page 162, and I am really enjoying it. The way your family are all working towards the goal is really inspiring. As a mum to a young toddler I hope to instil similar values and beliefs in my own child and spend quality time as a family, at low cost, during our MFW journey. Your children sound like lovely young people.

So far you have given me a new way to tackle meal planning, I have made a note in my diary to start collecting ready to deliver a parcel to the local food bank twice this year and have just made my first Tilly Tidy to my mortgage of 36p:D

I will be cheering along with the rest of the MFW when your mortgage starts first with a 1 and then with a big fat zero.:D

******goes back to lurking and reading page 163*******

The house feels empty without someone else here.

I wish I'd learnt the lessons you did at 19

Hi XSpender, loos like I might have to dig gold stars out for you too. Reading my diary from end to end must be hard work.

If anything I rabbit on about helps someone else, then I'm a very happy woman :T

I'll check whether you have started a diary.

Best wishes Tilly x

I've passed your comments on to her just - she replied that she was glad I'd found MSE :T

I think she likes the freebies from Grabbit :rotfl:

Is there any risotto left over? Not even thought about cooking tea yet

The freebies and grabbit boards are great ... I got an amazing lush deal once... It was the stuff of dreams ... Miss Tilly has good taste:-)

Hi Froggy, I can truly say the risotto was delicious and the best one I've made - given I made the recipe up I was quite delighted :j

Hope you've eaten now
