    I may sound a bit mad with my monthly menu plan but I find coming home from work and having to decide what to make is too frustrating and I'm tired by then. Lets just call me eccentric :rotfl:

    I agree with the meal planning, especially as we went shopping today and I had no menu or shopping list...far too stressful. Currently taking a leaf out of your book and have my recipe books in front of me trying to decide what we could have. I am trying to get Mr AJM interested and involved too to make it more fun for me and to make it feel slightly less like I do it all :rotfl:

    Welcome home Tilly, we missed you too x

    Hi, what a lovely afternoon :)

    Managed to sit outside apart from the last half an hour when the wind picked up.

    I am still to completely finish September's meal plan - I ran out of steam come 3rd week :o. Am off to put the iPlayer on catchup on some TV with a couple of mags a friend dropped off - hopefully they will inspire me for the last week of the month.

    Hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend and for those heading back to school next week - have fun

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Morning,

    78p TT OP this morning

    Off to walk the hounds in a few mins

    Off out this evening to friends so taking a cake :)

    I am missing my OPs and it feels like standing still, however capital is still being cleared each month :)

    A little ironing is looking at me and a pile of washing. Hopefully Mr T and the kids will throw that into the machine today :)

    I need to check but I'm sure it's getting close to the BT annual line rental payment. Where does the time go :eek:

    House insurance due September - the round of hunting down the best deal starts now.

    My cupboards and freezer are looking full (ish) now and menu plan is completed for September :)

    Tuesday night will find me blackberry hunting - we will be volunteering for a couple of hours and go picking as well.

    Best wishes

  • Hi Tilly
    I've just finished your diary (after a couple of weeks) & just wanted to de-lurk to say hope Mr T gets some good news soon, fingers crossed. Your diary is really inspirational & I have now sorted my freezer, done more batch cooking and am gonna try making bread tomorrow - so thank you :)

    Hope you have a lovely rest of the weekend

    :)
    Good morning, reading all my diary must have been a struggle :o. Hopefully there were some tips and I do evangelise about meal planning and keeping a check on what's in the larders/cupboards etc.

    Good luck with your plans - have you started a diary yet? I'll have a look and check.

    Best wishes

    Hi Tilly, just been catching up. Glad you had a relaxing holiday and I wish Mr T well with the job search. My house insurance is up for renewal this month aswell and a couple of years ago I found a fab deal with cashback and M&S vouchers which came in very handy for Christmas food shopping.

    Oh Tilly, you just reminded me! It's our first year with BT, so do you know if they send you a letter to remind you or just try and switch you to monthly payments etc?

    Thanks, Cal x

    Hi Cal, I can't remember receiving a mail from them, but as it saves a fair chunk it's worth giving them a call. I'm ringing them this week to check as I thinks it's due October.
