    That time of sitting and chatting to MrT sounds lovely, Tilly, and you're definitely in the right direction, aren't you :) Take care of yourself with all the "doings" before Christmas.

    Would you believe I have actually entered on my 2015 spreadsheet "account to be funded by saved loose change and Tilly Tidies" :rotfl:

    Love the idea of sitting and talking by the sea :) Roll on festive time.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    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.
    I thought that was my job :(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Sounds a very good idea x
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Morning, glorious sky this morning :)

    £10.16 claimed from TCB.

    Hungarian veggie stew for dinner - I need to throw it into the SC before heading to work.

    Not keeping up with everyone's diaries at the moment due to work so I hope people are physically well, mentally happy and content and focussed on melting the mortgage :T

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    Hey Tilly, catching up after my rather long sabbatical :)

    Sounds like there are plans a foot :)

    Of the best sort as well

    Enjoy the Hungarian veggie stew :)

    Hungarian veggie stew sounds delicious.

    I used my SC once and it was a complete disaster. Think I may give it a try again this weekend. I hate getting in from work and turning the oven on with my coat still on. It can be such a rush in the week. Bet it's lovely walking in to the smell of dinner. X
