    Hi Tilly,

    No TTs for me today but travelling companions paid their bit of the cost of flights/hotels so I'm all square.

    Enjoy the day!

    I'm another FD fan, I'm just disappointed I can't view my mortgage online. Tilly are you offset? I only send OP's once a month at the moment and just change the amount but I wondered how you sent all your TT's across?

    Hope the sun comes out this weekend and cheers you up. :) Be nice to get out into the garden and get Spring jobs done now that Winter is hopefully behind us.

  • Hi Tilly, we're feeling a bit wobbly just now too, i blame the lack of Spring actually. But primarily it's school decisions that are such a flipping worry. Is your DD keen on a particular uni or area? Glad she's back to cheer you up:j

    Hi LauraJo, I am with them and have normally been able to choose in the past - what a luxury.

    It will all work itself out eventually, plus I will be under the threshold for rent a room :):)

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Hi Cath, it's an offset mortgage and I check the accounts every morning and switch the monies in th form of a TT :T

    I think everyone is sick of the weather, it's costing the garden centres a fortune in wasted plants.

    It certainly seems to be a never ending winter although I've seen more buds on the trees :j

    Off to have a coffee as I had to join the other Tilly's in their phone sorting expedition. Never again it's absolute h£ll.

    Night, Tilly x

  • Evening, what a busy day :eek::T:eek:

    Loads achieved. Driven miles, entertained relative, finished loads of banking stuff for them. Up early and all the financials complete before 8am.

    Treat with DD and dinner with extended family and now in bed.

    I need to catch up with diaries.

    Happy days as tomorrow it's supposed to be 18 degrees :j:j:j:j

    Sleep well, hope you manage to get the heating off soon, we still use ours all year ... Although we're usually down to 3-4 hours during June July and August ... Then it gets ramped back up end of August beginning of September ... And I wonder why my bills are so high lol
