    What a glorious day - gentle breeze, blue sky and sun :T

    I seem to be having a 5p max TT thing going on - another 5p TT OP sent today.

    I need to sort out the advantage card points - I think there's about £30 which will be a useful addition to Christmas.

    No washing to do, all ironing is up to date and dinner this evening is fish pie with bargainous haddock, and home grown peas :)

    £50 S&S amaz@n vouchers claimed :)
    £10 CP voucher claimed
    Still awaiting 1P £40 payout via BACs.
    PC PP funds requested

    Just completed a CP survey for 1200 points and a S&S one for 1000 :)

    That's all for now, hope everyone is having a good day

    Morning, no pennies anywhere to TT :eek:

    Thai cucumber salad, diced saut!ed potatoes and BBQ chicken for dinner, with bargainous seeded bread.

    Kids have returned home so I have a pile of washing to do - hopefully it won't rain today :T

    I watched SuperScrimpers last night - seeing the couple with the food/eating out bill of nearly £16k was amazing. I'd love to start a blog on running a home.

    blogs can be a great way of making extra pennies, there can be a stream of passive income generated from blogging,

    i think you would be fantastic at it as well

    you could call it the Tilly Tidy :)

    Or maybe Tilly's Tidy Tail - but that would attract a whole different sort of audience :D.

    Hi, you've all made me laugh this afternoon.

    Now GG, I don't want to get into any trouble, so maybe the Tales would be better than Tails - although it possibly makes for another audience.

    I have something to plan for and I'm always better when doing this than twiddling my thumbs.

    Best wishes Tilly x
