Countdown to Freedom

What a brilliant evening - free tickets for Gravity, then TGBBO final :T

Permanent adrenalin rush - early night required to catch up on some sleep.

NSD achieved :T

Work is pretty dire and can't wait for new financial year

Amazing thunderstorm and lightening tonight

Almost forgot 1p TT to MOS :T

Night Tilly x

Oh glad you got the tickets. I applied but they had all gone.

Keep on trucking on the OPs. Boo to carp EOYs..ours is a few months off but wish me luck! Currently it's all budget setting..not much better really

Did a scrummy tea from the freezer. Meatballs and fresh pasta (waitrose treat for the pasta, it was yum) as well as sides of steamed chard and some avocado and portobello mushrooms with goats cheese to stretch the pasta sauce out a bit. Family demolished it ..not bad when I threw it together after a long day at work:D

Morning Brizzle, your dinner last night sounded very tasty - it's hard when you've had a busy day to feel like cooking. I was preparing last night's dinner in between calls - not ideal. Luckily I'd prepared the minced beef on Sunday which reduced the time.

Well done on your debt busting - will you switch to MFW in January :j:j. . Just think what inroads you could make

Have a good day

Morning, dark old day today - I'd quite like to snuggle down and go back to sleep

No pennies lurking anywhere to TT :eek:

I've had three bookings for holidays next year - we have some regular visitors and now have ten full weeks booked.

I'm in the office today as I finished a paper I was writing late afternoon yesterday. This should free up some time for catching up.

Have a good day and we're at the middle of the work week already.

Best wishes Tilly x

Too right Mrs T!! OH and I are planning, planning, planning..although have to say I would like to go skiing..but ONLY if nothing goes on the CCs

Evening, Froggy and I were entertaining an MFW chum tonight -Mr T and I cooked lovely food (i think I'm allowed to say it was good ) and Froggy provided the bubbles to celebrate his news job :T

Busy but productive day - no money to tidy this evening

Hard to believe it's Thursday tomorrow and the children break up for half term in the afternoon.

We're out again tomorrow - this social life will be the death of me - but then it's Friday and no plans :T. I want to chill out and do nothing in Friday and Saturday. May have friends round for church and lunch on Sunday - not sure yet.

That's all - just over a week to go until new financial year :j

Good morning, fresh autumnal day. I love the changes in the air as we move through the seasons.

It's still so mild . Heating hasn't been on yet although we've put the fire on in the dining room when eating. Looks like we may make it through to 1st November. I have to use the kids as a temperature gauge really as I don't feel the cold much - when DD tells me it's time, I know there must be a chill

On the money front £6 PC claimed but waiting for it to hit PayPal. No pennies to Tilly Tidy in any accounts. Mr T popped to Mr M and bought potatoes and extra bread yesterday, so pennies to TT tomorrow no doubt when the transaction tracks.

I'm planning the menu for November on Friday night, TV, glass of wine, cookery books - lovely.

Mr T is continuing to apply for jobs, slow progress, many ups and downs emotionally. However, for almost two years his money has been OPd and saved so we are fortunate to be able to manage on one salary. I really do count my blessings . Until last weekend, I felt quite burdened with the responsibility of being the main provider but that's disappeared over the last week. I've no idea why. Possibly because work has been so frantic there's no time to think :eek:

Best get a move on, I'm running late and overslept.

Best wishes Tilly x
