    Crikey Tilly, can't you slow down for a bit :eek:.

    BTW, I don't believe that was really Natty :D. Actually, bearing in mind the faffing about she was doing yesterday when she had a deadline it probably was :rotfl:.

    Morning, don't worry it's over the week, not today :). Thought a list may help keep my head clear.

    Enjoy your day at home

    I truly long for the day that we are MF :)

    We are all rooting for you Tilly - all the sensible decisions bring it that little bit closer :coffee:
  • Thanks Mr E. The change in circumstances is sometimes pretty difficult.

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Copying list here to keep it in my mind.

    Dinner this evening - smoked salmon quiche (salmon off cuts from Asd@), salad and crusty bread. MrT is making the pastry today and will prepare the case, Miss T is making the filling after school. I'll throw the salad together :)

    I can't believe it's Friday tomorrow. The week is flying by. Hopefully I'll be bringing mum back here on Sunday :).


    Tasks for the week - writing them down as I keep forgetting things :rotfl:

    Catch up with a couple of MSEers
    Complete a document - I'm 90% of the way through but want it completed today and issued - done
    Ironing
    Empty airing cupboard (again) - done
    Book Dr appointment for early next week - done
    Buy card for mum
    Find and buy a pair of trousers - plus two jumpers suitable for work
    1P surveys - just about to start

    I'm also making some biscuit dough up, which I'll roll into sausages and freeze.



    Have a good day and soon be the weekend :T

    Total cost just shy of £200 to fix it but well worth the money :T

    It's been on the blink for years, multiple attempts to fix and finally my lovely Mr T, with help from his first post on MSE and a family member, figured out the problem.

    Now I'm too hot :rotfl:

    GallyGirl, you'll love it here - it's really warm and you won't need three layers whilst I wear a T shirt :rotfl:

    Although this won't help you at all, you've been a big help to me :).

    I've been working on a plan for the kitchen abroad and have pretty much decided upon an electric oven and a wood burning oven.

    The WBO to use during the winter, to cook, heat the kitchen and hot water.

    Solar hot water already fitted so provides hot water majority of year - not necessarily enough for winter though, hence hot water option for stove.

    Without reading your diary, I wouldn't have thought of this, so thank you.

    Knowing us, plenty of time to change our minds again before we start :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
