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

    Morning Radish, FroggyG, GG, SD, CathT, LB and MacG, thank you all for stopping by with your kind wishes. I have woken up this morning feeling massively better but what a couple of days.

    I do need to try and catch up but it's going to have to be a slow day I think. DS wants us all to go for a bike ride but not t all sure, that either I or DD will be up to that.

    Saturday today, last mortgage payment goes on Tuesday and we switch next week. SO CLOSE and very much looking forward to the drop in daily interest. Whilst lying in bed i was considering other options for OPs, so any bonus payments I receive this year will go off the mortgage immediately - not offset - previously they would have disappeared on a credit card bill so this is a great feeling. I have a couple more things to eBay this weekend. I really don't like eBay these days, it is no where near as simple as it used to be but I am not about alternatives. Needs must though, so I will dig out the bits and see whether DH would mind putting them on.

    We have a few spends recently but these have been planned and are our way of setting ourselves up for the future. Will mean life is easier and more enjoyable.

    We are going to have some time in the garden today planting garlic, onions, broadbeans - my seeds from last weekend are starting to sprout which is lovely to see. They are inside though, not in the garden. I am going to plant some mixed salad leaves as we have been warming the ground up and I think they will be fine.

    This morning we will update the freezer list today as there have been a few very useful YS items bought, which have just been chucked in and I can't remember them all, after that I will be sitting down with my feet up menu planning. I have a couple of weekends of meals ŵith friends so I would like to see whether the freezer can look after those as well. We are popping to Ald@ this morning to use the £5 of £30 voucher and as I only need fresh veg, fruit, milk and eggs, I may have to buy some tins to bump the price up.

    I grabbed a lovely magazine bargain for DH for his birthday from grabbit (I won't put the details as DH sometimes drops in). That was eary in the week but I know he will be delighted.

    I hope everyone's weeks have gone well and that you have the weekend of your dreams.

    Best wishes Tilly x

  • Morning Caz, it's lovely to see things coming into bud isn't it - yep Spring is just around the corner.

    Thanks for your good wishes - I will be taking it easy - DH is keeping an eye on me. He has just gone to make some tea and then we will pop to Ald@.

    Have a good day x
