    Hey Tilly

    I was just minded of you - and your good 'friends in the box' here.

    I was just flicking through the TV guide and happened to notice that Tom *proper lush* Kerridge has a new tv series on this week.

    It appears to be a holiday *special* - it is on BBC1 at 3.30pm - 4.15pm from Tuesday 22nd - Friday 24th April. It's call 'Spring [STRIKE]watch[/STRIKE] Kitchen with Tom Kerridge'. I assume it's only on this week??? Best set your recorders if you, um, you know, have to work for a living - bravo BBC :T

    Anyway, I know that TK has featured in 'discussions' so I just thought I would mention it :D

    Hope everyone enjoyed their day whether working or off work. We have had a truly fab day and loads of jobs completed in the garden. It looks very neat and tidy :)

    I think I need Noah's Ark :eek: The rain has been dreadful and certainly made it difficult to sleep.

    Quick catch up:
    Walking going well - averaging 24 miles per week
    Food/shopping - mainly using cash, no wastage, 2 veggie meals per week
    Money - had to buy a toaster, have spent £45 on plants-trees
    Surveys - PC, Cap, S & S and YouG up to date. 1P needs attention :o

    No TV from last night until Friday - I'm either out, have books to catch up on or some writing-planning to do.

    Over the next few weeks I'm mapping out some of the things I want to do when I stop work :)

    Best wishes, Tilly x

    Since I don't have a diary of my own, can I piggyback on yours just to say that it is looking possible that I might be able to pay off my mortgage next month? I won't know until I got to a meeting in the middle of May, but just the possibility still feels exciting! :D
    Evening, ok, who stole the sun :eek:
    me :)
    I've got a lot of thoughts going through my head regarding the future
    great stuff :)
    I need to bide my time
    :rotfl::p:rotfl: that's got to be the funniest thing I've heard all day ;)

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

    Evening GG, I'll have you know careful negotiations are required :rotfl:

    Have a safe trip back - we have had intermittent sun, rain, sun, rain, interspersed with dark cloud, light cloud - plus dark cloud and sun at the same time :)

    Weather update over, I'm off to have a bath
