    Nah, right first time :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    So where are we today?

    Grey and misty but not too cold :)

    No list of jobs as long as my arm - with the exception of washing and ironing but that's just business as usual :)

    I need to find a Christmas present for my great nephew :). I normally buy on line and send but am delivering to another relative for onward delivery.

    Money - £13.50 spent in Mr M last night - sorry but I don't like that store either :o. Receipt scanned and uploaded for S&S. PC and YG survey completed.

    We are off to the gym today and I'm looking forward to working hard and pushing myself.

    I've got quite a long Christmas vacation this year and am planning on using a couple of half days to review 2014 and how it's gone and what we need to do differently in 2015. Our mortgage interest is going to increase for a start as the money offsetting will reduce when we buy a house for DD.

    Ok, I'd better get cracking. I've made a chicken and potato Indian stew this morning, which is in the SC. Off piste on menu plan but I had left over chicken breast to use up.

    Have a good day, Tilly x

    Chicken and potato Indian stew sounds lovely. Is there a particular recipe you use? I don't enjoy stew but having Indian spices in it sounds like it's work a go.

    I've just said in my thread that I'm going to do a review of the year and a plan for 2015.


    I'm glad I started this process - it's made me a lot more thoughtful about all areas of my life

    Yay to off piste chicken - that immediately conjures up a little cartoon chicken on skis :rotfl: and wow, you're planning a review as well as Goldie. I better get my own skis on.

    Have a lovely evening.

    Hi, if you google Anjum's chicken and potato stew it comes up. I couldn't copy the link for some reason, but above will take you to it :)

    It was delicious. I added three tomatoes which I had seeded and diced - mmmmmmm

    Someone stole the weekend and today :eek:

    £11.52 claimed from £co, £80 arrived from a chum as I'm selling my belongings :)

    So many things under discussion at the moment my brain is struggling. We have very little spare time between now and Christmas. Will be glad to finish for the festive period. Mr T and I have agreed we will take some time whilst kids are revising during the holiday, to sit by the sea, think and talk.

    night, Tilly x x
