Well done on the award, Tilly!:T:T:T (albeit somewhat belated congratulations!:o)
12K to 'security - how fantastic! :j Am sure you'll bring that forward - the TTs alone will knock off..... oooh.... 24 hours?:rotfl:
And it must be that time of year - my boys seem to be growing before my eyes, I'm sure of it!

I am having a very early night. I made the dinner this afternoon, should have had a call this evening and I have to say I came to bed instead
. My head has been mulling over a new strategy document I need to put together and my normal inventiveness appears to have vanished
. I thought an early night may help. I've been completely spoilt with dinner upstairs, no TV, lights turned low and I've listened to some beautiful music. One of these days I really will get back to playing the piano - I miss it.
Thanks for dropping by Greent - these growth spurts are incredible - one minute DS was my height and the next I'm looking up at him :rotfl: We had a good clear out of his clothes though and I will give eb@y a go.

Morning, I slept like a log
Mr Ts job seeker money has arrived and moved to MOS
1p TT to MOS
Dinner last night was chicken and ham pie, topped with mashed pots, followed by creme brûl!e (this word looks ok until I post then becomes garbled)
Tonight it's oxtail casserole with roast veg.
Just 3 days until end of year and only 1 day of torture left.
DD and I are walking the dogs at lunchtime, so I hope it stays dry.

:eek::eek: Mr T has just turned the heating on :eek::eek:
Haven't made it to 1st November, but it's a cold morning and time for heating
I can't remember a year in this house where we haven't needed the heating on by 1st October, so we've done well to get to 29th October.

Boy am I glad you have the heating on!
Congrats on the award - next stop, cover of Forbes magazine Tills
Also on your whole money management. Not even touching a penny of Mr T's redundancy is incredible and deserves a :T Personally I would have installed a disco room complete with flashing floor lights - who am I to judge though:DFebruary13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

It's like a pre work day party now
Morning Natty, Mr Ts eyes lit up when I mentioned the disco floor but after careful consideration he'd rather have a cinema room. That's SO not happening - our TV is big enough as it is
Lovely to *see* you.
Morning MWC, how do we persuade Natty to stay around? Do I need to round GG up with her :smileyhea:smileyhea maybe?

MCW, MCW !!!! Unfortunately I don't have time to go through everyone's diaries right now - however just took a wee notion to log on this morning. I'll be back properly later on though.

I don't want to place undue pressure on to you, however the installation, and subsequent posting of a disco room (complete with flashing floor lights :smileyhea would help)
Say hi to Mr T and I'm on superstrongpositivethoughts that he gets that cinema room;)February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

Wondering if we could help out Nats with some cunning placement and synchronised opening and closing of the :smileyhea tumble driers with internal lights :smileyheaA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0
