    Good morning,

    77p Tilly Tidy OP

    Remains of salad ingredients this evening with roast tomatoes served on a bed of cous cous. Slightly off menu plan but I have some bits to use up.

    We have a new lodger moving in, in mid October - no lodger stews though - he's a friend so we will definitely be looking after him :)

    That's all for now. We'll be walking the hounds tonight and Mr T has a few tasks on his list for today. He's also sorted out sgning on :(

    Best wishes, Tilly x

    Well Froggy, I have myriad cookery books and due to my lovely spice and herb selection, I can whip up a delight in no time :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Won't be as comical as lodger stew though :(

    Great news about getting a new lodger. You'll be back to making larger OP's before you know it :).

    Morning, Mr Ts redundancy and final payments arrived today - a week early so that was a surprise. All squirrelled away as new emergency fund. We won't be touching that unless things get dire.

    He's still applying for roles but it's certainly a slow journey. He has 2-3 jobs that's he's really interested in but no progress yet.

    Tilly Tidy of £1.52 from two accounts :)
    TCB £6 OPd thanks to PC
    £6.37 requested from TCB and will OP

    Vouchers printed ready for shopping.

    Have a good 'hump' day
