  • Remind me never to shop for footwear for DS - I've apparently bought him elf shoes :rotfl::rotfl:

    I thought they were modern rugged boots to wear with jeans :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Kids have had a good night out - I've caught up on some work reading and am going to have a cuppa and turn in for the night.

    I forgot to add earlier, I bought oxtail and popped it into the freezer :)

    Night, Tilly x

  • Morning HDK, couldn't agree more. Now I need to remember to take them back today and get my money back ;). He can use his money to buy some :p

  • Morning, 73p TT to MOS - clearing the mortgage will be never ending at this rate :p

    I was going to guy a C@stco pizza for dinner this evening as I wanted a night off cooking. It would be lovely to have some downtime after the last frenetic few weeks. However, I quite fancy enchilada's - not sure where that thought came from :). With a large salad. I'll ask Miss T to knock the salad up and Mr T can make the filling. I haven't got any Tortilla wraps but can pick some up in Mr A, when returning the shoes :)

    I normally cook one or two veggie meals in the week and seem to have stopped - definitely to get this back into my menu planning. Miss T and I often prefer veggie recipes and I need to remember to cater for our wishes too. DS and Mr T prefer meat based dishes.

    Fortunately Froggy is lovely to cater for :T

    No more money updates - I'm still waiting for TopCashBack to pay out.. Just over £62 and I'd quite like that sitting in my MOS.

    Have a good Thursday and it's a neat 55 sleeps to go :rudolf:

    Best wishes Tilly x

    I do this too - storing up until there are a few then thinking it will take ages but it never does and it's a great feeling when they are all back in use:D

    I'm terrible for leaving things in the mending pile and then tackling half a dozen at a time - and always surprising myself as to how little time it actually takes. I might actually do some tomorrow - the ironing has been growing this week, so I should tackle that tonight :)

    Gosh - the mending pile, or in my case should I say the mending chair!
    I seem to try and do it every weekend, yet it keeps getting pushed back and back and back.

    Right - will do it this weekend. Hope you all hold me to it!
