Found her in the Oxford English dictionary:
Tilly: noun (f)
1/ MFW guru, first discovered in November 2011. Lightbulb moment occurred. From then on, nothing could stop her. Inspired many to empower themselves from the shackles of mortgages and debts..
2/ Tilly Tidy was named after her. Consists of mopping your bank accounts to the nearest £ each day in order to keep your mortgage even faster and stay motivated..
3/ Tilly can usually be found in her kitchen cooking and baking delicious dishes
4/ Tilly also has a tendency to stockpile loo rolls.. Forget about the looming energy blackout, we should all be worried how we will wipe our bottoms in the future :eek:
5/ Rumours circulated that she welcomed lodgers in the past, only for them to end up in the freezer or under the patio (nothing was proven though)..
