  • Morning, hive of industry this morning. Off to walk the hounds in a few minutes.

    £1.02 TT OP
    Chicken pie for dinner with salad
    Packed lunches all made

    Still using up things from the fridge - I'm starting on my caper mountain :rotfl:

    Have a good day - I'm taking Friday off so today is the middle of my week :T

  • Oooo tea sounds yummy Tilly what time shall me and MrTyo be round? (see I do feed him!! :rotfl:)

    Second all the uni advice - definitely not being precious about any cutlery/crockery etc.. etc.. if friends /family/you guys have a mountain of extra stuff then Id suggest she take that with her or go for the cheapish but practical stuff that supermarkets /wilkos do :) Exciting times ahead for her! :)
  • Morning TYO and Mr TYO, dare I say I made stock with two chicken carcasses and all the meat and veg, along with reduced stock and creme fraiche are ready for the topping. Doesn't sound quite as attractive that way, but there's no waste and it tastes lovely :o

    I am grateful that we kept stuff we thought the kids may need when they leave home, which includes quilts and pillow cases, crockery, glasses so I think both can leave home - with minimal spends. The money will be needed for accommodation which is so expensive. I'm glad she doesn't go until next September as I still have time to squirrel money away. DD is also saving like mad. I feel as though I will blink and she'll be gone.

    Towels came to mind - will keep the older ones of I buy any more this year or next.

    It's hard to believe that she has grown up - it certainly is a road swiftly travelled :)

    Best wishes, Tilly x

  • Good morning,

    73p TT OP
    Free night out at cinema last night :)
    Council tax paid - it's adding to the cashback. I'm surprised they haven't started charging for using a credit card but not yet. Will go back to DD if they do.
    We are averaging 4 NSDs per week :T

    No more updates, hope everyone is enjoying the sun - not sure where it went yesterday :o

    Glad to get to bed - long day at work and out with a friend for a long walk.

    NSD achieved

    End of my week tomorrow as I'm having a long weekend :)

    Project fridge sauce 'stuff' use up still under way. How many BBQ type sauces does a family need :o.

    I need to decide what to serve with asparagus - I was given two packs of it tonight as my friend isn't keen - no clue why she bought it, but she didn't want me to pay her, so I will use it tomorrow. I do have salmon in the freezer, so maybe salmon, new potatoes and asparagus.

    I'm out but that's easy for the kids to cook for Mr T.

    Sleep well

  • Morning, my daughter has done her first TT :T

    She's moved the pennies from her bank account to her savings account. She also took 2/3 of the remaining balance in her account and split 50/50 into ISA and savings account in building society.

    She definitely has benefitted from the journey we are on :)

    I've made a 33p TT
    Payday just over two weeks
    Tasks - update CP, make menu plan for next week, washing and ironing


    The sun will soon be here :)

    Well done to Mr Murray - hopefully GG will have some appropriate smileys to add :T
