    Long con calls are indeed a complete pain..but better than a boring f2f meeting, remember!! You can always do some housework or a Tilly Tidy whilst you are on!

    Hi Tilly and all :hello:

    I'm doing something very out of character here and having a quick skive from work. When I say skive I'm sure you know that this means I'll only be doing three hours overtime today rather than more :o

    I do try to have a quick lurk here and there to keep up with you all but it's normally via my phone so not ideal for posting

    Sorry to hear you're not firing on all cylinders at the mo Tilly but as you have rightly pointed out you know these things happen along the way and that they right themselves in time

    Regards

    I have worked my way through so many piles of ironing whilst on conference calls - makes me smile.

    These phases definitely pass and although it hasn't happened many times, in relation to the journey, it's interesting that it re-occurs. Thanks for the PM as well x

    210 days and counting, I cannot believe how quickly the year is flying past. I am in organisational heaven at Christmas. Give me a houseful of people to feed and entertain and I am definitely at my happiest. I know wonder I like lodgers so much - no GG nothing to do with patio extensions or filling my freezer :rotfl:

    Best wishes Tilly x

    I am not allowed to order on line after having a drink these days - but then again, I only have a glass of wine occasionally now :T

    Not when she's doing the financials :eek:, could be chaos :rotfl:
    Nothing like seeing double when twiddling your pivots :)
    Hi Tilly, sorry that you were feeling below par over the weekend. But I must say that your posts definitely give me energy to get off my backside and do something about my own financial situation, so although it's early in the day I'm sending you a large G&T/glass of wine (delete as appropriate) to be drunk later this evening with your feet up and some nice music playing!
    Oooh lovely ice and a slice please :T


    Have a fab evening

    That's reassuring. I thought I was the only person in the world that inventoried their freezer. Lol.

    Helps in meal planning and purchasing. No more having 83 packets of prawns in there - unless they were on a buy one, get 82 free offer of course!!!

    Hi, give me a spreadsheet and I'll track anything :rotfl:

    I like the buy one get 82 free - how do we persuade sainsbobs and w@itrose to do that :rotfl:

    I have an admission, I really had planned to do the menu plan and financials, but DH and DD have bought tickets for the cinema, so I'm off out right now.

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    Oooo, what you seeing? You deserve a wee night off, hope you enjoy it :)
  • Hangover 3 - lots of laughter :rotfl:

    Mr T is making the supper Morcilla con Manzana from Casa Moro. It's a tapas type dish and we are cheating and having it with a larger salad.

    Mmmmmmmm

    Sadly no menu plan after Friday so I really will have get cracking on the plan tomorrow. Fortunately Mr T has updated the financials during a gap this afternoon, so that's good news.

    Dogs will have to have an extra long walk in the morning

    I so hope Mr T doesn't read this, it will give him ideas :)

    However, he's on calls all day long, I'm sure he could have a go :T
