Crikey Tilly, can't you slow down for a bit :eek:.
BTW, I don't believe that was really Natty. 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:0 -
Thanks Mr E. The change in circumstances is sometimes pretty difficult.

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

:j:j:j WE HAVE HEATING :j:j:j
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
