    Emmita, that's so lovely to hear - it really makes life so much easier to have your own ready cooked dishes. Plus having your plan, helps you to make the best use of all your food - good luck x x

    Hi HDK, that would be funny :rotfl: hope your week is going ok :)

    Evening Froggy, you old flatterer :rotfl:

    Had a lovely relaxing soak in the bath - empty house and enjoying a bit of peace and quiet ;)

    I think Tilly tidy should be added to the dictionary!

    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)..
