Countdown to Freedom

Evening, thankfully Mr T had made the dinner as I didn't get home until 6pm and Mondays are quick turnaround nights, as the kids are out.

Came in to a huge row, which sadly I misunderstood, queue apologies to kids. I think Mr T is struggling with not working and is short tempered at the moment.

We are off out tonight for some quiet contemplation and hopefully this will help.

I need to check my bank account and see if the other TCB payment has come through. I also asked Mr T to buy a £10 Amazon code for £5 thanks to Grabbit and reminded him to go through TCB - if they payout a £10 voucher will have cost just under £4.50 :j

Have a good evening.

Morning Tatty, hope all is well with you. I agree, I think a few months of peace and good health (stability) would be excellent

Good morning,

TCB money £11.80 has arrived and moved to MOS

Mr Ts job seeker money has arrived and also moved to MOS

After the above two shuffles, no pennies to Tilly Tidy

Beautiful evening and it did Mr T the world of good.

Dinner this evening is JO hash - partially made over the weekend so hopefully quick to finish. I never take any notice of his JO 30 minute timetable - they really never are :eek:

Early calls then in the office. Mr T is continuing with the decorating and walking the dogs with DD early afternoon.

£10 Amaz@n voucher applied to account yesterday - good buy.

All in all things are going ok at the moment. Job hunting continues and no news on that front atm. Once Mr T has finished the decorating, if he still hasn't found a job he's going to volunteer at the charity we support. Wide variety of activities are needed to run it and it will provide structure etc.

That's all for now - have a good day.

Fab idea to keep Mr T busy and in a routine, will look great on his cv that he has been productive and self-motivated:D.

We have days when we shout too much at the children and it is rarely (feeling generous at the moment!) their fault, just bad days at the office and the never-ending rush against a clock - how much am i looking forward to the Christmas holidays:beer:

Beautifully put PWD..me too. Never ending rush against the clock just about sums it up!

Have a good eve Tilly. Just done my spreadsheets after v long 2 days at work...not quite as good as I had hoped but the feeling of being in control is marvellous!

Evening, what a fab night. I managed to get tickets to see Saving Mr Banks and it was FANTASTIC. DD and I both cried and clapped at the end.

I had already made the dinner so it just needed warming up and small roasties cooked. Apparently it went down well and Mr T was complimentary, so I guess it tasted OK. DD and I had to have a rushed dinner and ate F&C in about 7 mins :eek:

On a financial front, just to prove my diary is still about MFW stuff - I reworked my figures today and even if Mr T doesn't work again (you can see it is playing on my mind), with my salary increase and new bonus structure I can have us MF by December 2016. That means we would be able to use the endowment to refurb the house. I do appreciate bonuses are not a given, they have to be earned but I work hard, achieve pretty good things and need to keep this momentum up.

On the other hand, if he is fortunate to find a role I may have just worked out that we can be MF by June 2015 . This would have me doing a bit of :T and a few :j. I am holding on to my faith that things will sort themselves out.

All is not lost on the MF journey, and this forum is a pretty splendid place to hang out.

Night, Tilly x

Morning Tilly, nothing like a good rework of the numbers to keep the motivation going I'm sure Mr T will get a job in the new year (lots of companies release their budgets either Jan or March)
How's your mum?

Tilly_MFW_in_6_YRS

Hi LauraJo, she's doing ok but feeling pretty vulnerable. We all need to live our lives when young and able as it's tough when your independence dwindles.

Thanks for stopping by.
