How come the sun is out now - 6am we were shivering
Geraniums planted, front swept, garage tidied and vacuumed. Larder resorted.
Waiting for lodger to arrive :T. Although I charge weekly, a week in advance, he wants to pay for his entire stay in one go - so that he doesn't get tempted to spend the money :T. I had thought he wanted to pay up front by the month, but no, the whole lot - I won't be saying no to that, thank you.
Mr T has had me in stitches at the car boot sale this morning - he has a very dry sense of humour and I was almost crying with laughter at one point.
Off to prepare the chicken for dinner - we keep changing our mind about what to do with it though, so I'm not holding my breath.

I'm having an extremely early night, but the last two weeks have either been spent socialising or working late into the evening.
I'm a very happy happy Mrs Tilly and have been cooking for our new lodger and the rest of us. I am definitely in my element when the house is full:):)
Night and happy new week

If Tilly invites any of us round make sure you let family and friends know where you are :eek:.
Quick work Tilly, impresssive :T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

More normal updates now
38p TT OP
CP survey complete 2000 points
S&S survey complete 1000 points
PC 2 surveys complete - £6 to PayPal
Just under £5 to go and OP payout, Mr Ts account - then I'll need to build mine up more quickly, but he definitely gets way more surveys than I do
Menu plan written for two weeks - my larder stocks are disappearing - I have around 4 shelving units in one side of the garage and they used to be full - I'm down to one unit being full and the other shelves are being used for overspill from elsewhere.
I will be buying in a far more discerning manner when I stock up the next time :rotfl:
On Saturday I finished a jar of mint sauce - another use up in the fridge.
Tonight we are having lemon and chicken risotto with roast peppers.
Right, need to get cracking
