  • Headache gone when I woke up today and even with a stupidly busy day, it's hasn't returned. However, I've only just walked in and it's a Friday night :eek:

    Thanks for the good wishes about Mr T. It is pretty frustrating as he has excellent skills but it's certainly a slow journey. I may have had our house valued and it was a surprise in a good way - so if the worst came to the worst, we could sell, downsize, be mortgage free and have cash in the bank. Not the preferred route, but being a planner I like contingency plans available :o

    Very much looking forward to our house guest - fortunately we have lots of space so won't be crowding each other.

    I need to grab some dinner - Mr T has made Valencian Paella - sadly everyone has eaten so I'll be sitting 'Billy no mates' fashion and eating alone :(

    Hopefully Mr T and the kids walked the dogs as I don't think I have the energy for that now.

    Have a good Friday evening

    Hi Tilly, I had had a huge catch up as haven't been on here much lately. Still wishing Mr T good luck with his jobsearch.

    What wonderful news about Froggy becoming the newest member of Tilly household.

    I plan on making the chocolate sleighs with the children, I had seen them before bu now we're a bit closer to Christmas I can actually plan to do them! Is there a thread on MSE somewhere with Christmas ideas?

    Also, if you do get chance I would also appreciate the meal plan template. We do batch cook but don't plan in advance and we are starting to buy bargainous meat deals from the butcher so would work out well. I've started my masters and have very little time at the moment!

    Thanks :)
    Hi, I often lurk on this Christmas thread
