Countdown to Freedom

Morning, the oxtail casserole last night was mmmmmmmm. It works out fairly expensive but definitely worth it. DS made a cake as well.

Dinner this evening is likely to be a change from menu plan - I quite fancy a Chinese chicken dish with noodles, fresh ginger, garlic etc. I have some HM chicken stock in the fridge which would make a broth type sauce as well.

No pennies anywhere to TT.

The clothes I sorted out to eb@y from DS reduced - DD came along and took a fancy to them, so she's whipped them off the pile. Will need to check whether it makes sense to sell the rest.

That's all for now.

ETA - my post seems a bit grumpy, no idea why as I'm feeling quite positive and 'up'.

No..just matter of fact

I don't feel as perky today. Think it's the drizzle! And awake for hours despite being on hols!

Have a good day Mrs T

PS

Sleighs were a huge hit!!! Thanks Tilly. We now have 7 and some chocolate bars left over.

No - it just seems done in a minimalistic - get up and go - I have things to do way - I thought it was quite perky! x

Just wanted to pop by and say Hi Tilly.:wave:

Been lurking for longer than I care to admit and yours was one of the first MFW diaries I read.

It has been a great help and whilst I don't have your OP level that you started off with (£211 monthly for me), I like your attitude to MSE.:money:

Started up my own thread so hopefully I can keep track and keep myself motivated as my MFW date is over 20 years away.

Congrats on where you have got to so far!

Hi BlueMoo, thanks for stopping by. My OPs have certainly stopped for a hole! while but hopefully will start up once Mr T is gainfully employed

Good luck with your plans, having a diary is a real help to keeping the focus.

Best wishes Tilly x

Evening, what fun we're having in the Tilly household. After sticking it out until almost November, and after Mr T checked the heating over about a month ago, it stopped working today :eek:

He is now working to fix it so keep fingers crossed please, otherwise we will all be needing hot water bottles and onesies :rotfl:

I've had a trip to Mr A to look for shoes/boots for DS. His clothes arrived from GAP today and shoes would complete the wardrobe. Managed to find a good looking pair for £30 now need to get him to try them on. Once more fingers crossed.

Whilst wandering aimlessly around the aisles (my input to end of financial year finished today, so I'm demob happy) I came across the reduced food section, with no hoards of people :eek: Four bags of bargainous fish jumped into the trolley :T including monkfish

Lemon grass for 10p and two red peppers for 26p :T. Couldn't resist.

Then four tins of tomatoes and four tins of chickpeas for £2 - happy with that too.

Finally jarmie bottoms for me - I thought they were £10 but when I came to pay they came up as £6

All in all, a good night of bargainous shopping - could I have managed without, yes, but I've had a quiet meander and the larder is topped up a little.

This will mean I have pennies to TT in the morning no doubt.

Night, Tilly x

Thanks Tilly!

I love the reduced section myself and fish is so expensive now.

Monkfish - yum yum

Feels like we may have heating :rotfl: I'm snuggled into jarmies so boiling at the moment.

I hope you sleep better than last night

Night Tilly
