Countdown to Freedom

Mornin'! Just had quick catch up Tilly, so glad things are all onwards and upwards for you!

Have lots I wanted to comment on but don't know how to pull in quotes from different posts, so will just go with what I can remember I wanted to say:

:mad: Am exactly the same with Fleabay at the moment, but have a whole cupboard of stuff waiting to go ... I don't know whether to just grin and bear it until it's all gone or grin and bear a boot sale and get rid in one go that way.

Your me-time moments ... very glad this is starting to come in as a routine, you deserve it and it does wonders! I really plan to build this in when I can but I'm always "next month ..."

Waking up to the birdsong, my favourite thing about the summer - although this morning it was the dulcet tones of Bessie "singing" to signal she's laid her egg, and that girl ain't a song thrush!

Getting suckered into working via laptop when it should be your own time, I can really identify with this. Coffee in the garden after dinner is now part of our routine too (weather permitting) partly to remove us from that whole "dinner's over, back to work ..." mind set.

Also in awe of your prolific survey payouts, I'm spectacularly unsuccessful with these as I usually get booted out once they realise we don't have a TV when I've already wasted 10 minutes to get that far!

:T Glad Mr T's job is all going well and that you can push ahead with plotting and planning ... exciting times, well deserved!

:rotfl: Happy dogs playing ... I know exactly what you mean ... The boy has started running in and out to try to get the old girl to come out and play with him, they're hilarious to watch!

And speaking of which, here's a little fella to make you smile for the weekend: http://m.youtube.com/watchv=QcQpeZuhSg4

Happy Friday!

Habibiboo, YouT clip brilliant - thanks for sharing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Laptops have definitely revolutionised how we work and I am guilty of leaving mine on permanently when at home. Mr T has told me I have to shut it down each night now........ but then there's mail on phone :eek:

Dogs loved their walk this morning and it was truly GLORIOUS. Quiet and peaceful, birds chatting away, a few dogs for ours to play with, blue sky and sun. It really is my best time of the day :):)

Best wishes Tilly x

Morning MIA yesterday - 5 loads of washing done, dried on the line, ironed, put away, just the airing cupboard to empty tonight.

Mr T and I had a free mystery shop lunch . A couple of YG surveys, no PC ones for a few days. All the RM survey stuff is packed up ready to go.

We are off out today and leaving the kids to look after the hounds, make dinner etc :T

Beautiful day and the sun is streaming through the windows - they may just need a clean :eek:

Food shopping came to slightly over £40 - definitely over my £3 food pot but not to worry.

Must get cracking as we are leaving in 45 minutes :eek::T

Best wishes Tilly x

Evening, we have had a FAB day. We belong to a pretty funky church group and we've had a great day out.

No happy clappy stuff, just good friends having good food and fellowship.

OK, so where are we.....,

Mortgage payment goes out end of this coming week - :T:T mega inroads to mortgage clearance and we are actively looking to find a property to buy as an investment.

The weather is absolutely gorgeous and sitting outside having had a great dinner - HG salad, tomato salad, bargainous jersey royals, chicken, sausages, BBQ ribs.

Happy days and hope everyone has enjoyed the weather.

MWC, I've been planting flowery stuff in the garden today - non veg stuff has finally got a look in:T

Sounds awesome Tilly. We had a few church friends over for a BBQ yesterday with their kids and had a great day. So much easier to socialise when the kids can run wild in the garden and we can just sit and observe

Happy house hunting.

Morning WelshLassie, thanks for stopping by. You can't beat a BBQ with friends and completely agree about the kids being safe. It was great to see so many children playing on Sunday. Simple ideas for play based on water, sand etc with gorgeous weather, led to tired and satisfied children by the end of the day . From subsequent discussions, sounds like each child zonked out in their cars on the way home :rotfl:

Took me back to when mine were little
