  • What a lovely post, thank you.

    We are definitely having our holiday - the Far East is still winning on the location front :)

    I can already see a difference in our lovely DD and am truly looking forward to seeing her spread her wings. It's an amazing thing to be a parent and watch someone develop ;)

    Thanks for posting - I'm off to see if you have a diary

    I have no pennies to TT at all :eek:

    Lodgers are very thin on the ground, one last week didn't give me a good vibe, so I said no :eek:

    Ok, that's all the negative stuff :)

    It's Friday tomorrow :j:j

    Lovely long weekend in a few hours :j:j

    Best wishes

  • Plans for the weekend:

    finish the text for the last two eb@y items, ready for next FLW
    inventory of freezer and larder
    Menu plan for May

    Out on Friday night with like minded nutters

    Decorating for Mr T and gardening for me, on Saturday

    Family visit and lunch on Sunday

    Depending upon weather, a couple of hours volunteering on Monday :)

    Glad the freezer is well stocked as I've been on raiding missions to make the dinners this week

    Hi Tilly. Just thought I'd pop by. You're doing great with the mortgage :D well done!
    I'm sure you'll come up with yet more money saving ideas soon-probably while you're relaxing on holiday.
    Your diary is really motivating.
    Pay day tomorrow so I'm hoping to be able to do more shuffling money around and Tilly tidying my accounts :)
    Must go to bed now-we're entertaining tomorrow night and Mr Tattycath has offered to cook. :)

  • Morning, thanks for dropping by TattyCath, how lovely that Mr TC is cooking for you all. I haven't checked the weather forecast for the weekend - hoping for good weather to be in the garden.

    42p TT OP :)
    £3 PC payout received :)
    Grocery budget for this coming week is ................ drum roll £40 so that could be fun.

    Diet wise things are going well still. I haven't weighed again but my trousers and skirts have swivel space now :rotfl: Maybe if I'd been doing more swivelling before, I wouldn't have put the weight back on :o

    I have a load of veg seed planting to do this weekend and am really looking forward to the peace. The kids will be out and about, and the hounds and I can work in the garden (that actually means they run round like lunatics whilst I work)

    Right need to get cracking as I have calls starting ridiculously early :eek:

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    :D

    Healthier eating is benefitting me as well - my baggy 'Friday jeans' are particularly baggy today :rotfl: 9lbs and counting...

    What was wrong - too skinny? :D

    Where do you find people like this? You do seem to know some odd folk!!!!!!!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    It's strange how things move about :). I've lost weight off my face, hips, legs, but still struggling with my waist, even though I have swivel room :)

  • Morning, no pennies again to OP, however we need to do a bit of financial stuff this morning, so that should result in some pennies :)

    We are walking the hounds in half an hour and looking forward to seeing them run free - I'm sure they smile ;)

    Just over two weeks until payday and more shuffles ahead. Mr T is doing the Halif@x shuffle today, unbelievably I forgot :eek:

    More veggie planting today and I may go to a garden centre and buy some plants. I'm so behind with my veg planting due to the weather.

    Menu planning is on the cards and I'd quite like to get all my jobs done, sort the freezer and larder and then sit outside with cookbook of the month. I'm actually using two this month, one is an Arabic style cook book, the other I am yet to decide on.

    Right, need to take DD to work now.

    Best wishes Tilly x x
