  • Morning Bookworm, thanks for thinking of me :). Made me smile.

    Just off for a dog walk - DS bread rolls are lovely :D

  • Hi, what a glorious day. 19.5 degrees this afternoon :T

    DD and I have made 30 Santa sleighs this afternoon - they will be put on the placemats, for an event with about 25 children going. A few extra just in case we have unexpected children arriving.

    If we can make them, anyone can as neither of us are 'crafty'.

    Calendar will have to wait for a couple of weeks as I've run out of time.

    Roast beef is in the oven, roast red peppers and red onions to roast, braised red cabbage, roast potatoes, yorkshires and broccoli - can't wait.

    Had a thoroughly relaxing day and am off to have a glass of wine in the garden.

    Best wishes Tilly x

  • Hi SF, it's unbelievable for October :D

    I've just sent another couple of menu plans out and have a glass of wine to hand :T

    Hope you've had a good weekend, Tilly x

  • Sounds like you've had a lovely day Tilly. You've inspired me to start thinking about Christmas - love the sound of the santa sleighs!

    Morning, no pennies to TT anywhere :eek:

    Our lodger moves in, a week today :)

    Pay day is two weeks today :)

    I think it will be a week of 5 NSDs in a row :)

    Misty day and looks like the weather deteriorates towards the end of the week :(

    Have a good week, Tilly xx

  • I am very impressed that you can do 5 NSDs in a row! And always exciting to have a new lodger moving in. We never see ours at the moment - she seems to be away most of the time. It will be nice when she returns from travels and is around a little more.

    I'm aiming for 5 hours in a row :o. Currently on hour one :rotfl:. Should be ok for next hour as on way to London which usually means frothy coffee at station but free one on my loyalty card :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Afternoon Tilly,

    I'm inspired, this week my challenge is to crack down and organise my grocery shop with meal planning. It won't be as organised as yours but you've shown me how to start... and I'm kind of excited about this. I'm looking forward to saving money, tasty homemade meals and being organised. Thanks again!!!

    Off to see if I can do any TT's :)

    Thank you so much for the spreadsheet.

    I was out in the garden all yesterday as I wanted to make the most of the nice weather while it lasts. So I am going to sit down tonight, do a fridge, freezer and cupboard inventory and a meal plan.

    My aim is to make sure everything is eaten or frozen before its used by date. I am fed up of throwing food away just because Im unorganised. The spreadsheet is really helpful

    Thank you
