  • Morning, the sun is shining :)

    I've OP £33.74 from TCB this morning :T

    Managed to lose 7lbs :)

    Sad news, a while ago my tumble drier with internal light :smileyhea lost its shine. The bulb went and Mr T dutifully bought a new one but can't get the old one out :(. Every time I open the door I think of GallyGirl and :smileyhea

    Health - feeling much improved but still taking things slowly - very boring

    Mr T has been headhunted and offered a job which would mean working locally, apart from some trips abroad. I'm waiting to hear his decision.

    I'm going to have a walk with one of my dogs today - walking has disappeared off my agenda during the last couple of months and I'm missing seeing my hounds run, with their ears flapping :o. Plan from today is to start building my fitness back up :T

    Very best wishes to everyone, Tilly x x

    Afternoon Tilly,

    Blast from the past here.
    Been reading you've been a bit under the weather but are on the mend now so hope you're fighting fit soon.

    Been some changes on planet Thistle but I'm rocking and a rolling with the punches so can't say fairer than that.

    Best regards,

    Thistle

  • Thistle, I was only thinking of you the other day and wondering how you're getting on.

    Hope your plans are still going in the right direction. Life definitely has a way of throwing a few spanners occasionally.

    Very best wishes, Tilly x

  • Morning, health is progressing in the right direction and apart from being mentally bored, there is improvement, albeit slow.

    We are collecting DD tomorrow and then seeing mum to take her for lunch. DD appears to have saved her washing for the last couple of weeks, to bring home :rotfl:

    There has been very little money spent in the Tilly household this week. I did have a trip to the college for a haircut. Way cheaper and lots of care and attention.

    Happy days - mortgage has been paid and we are heading towards £100k now :T

    Weather forecast sounds dodgy for the weekend which is disappointing.

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    ETA- Mr T declined job offer as they couldn't meet salary expectations but he was delighted to be wanted :):):)

    I am very jealous, I am hoping to get our larger mortgage to £109k by the end of the year.

    Glad you are starting to feel better x

    All sounds good, Tilly, though I sympathise with the boredom - got to take it easy when you want to be up and doing, grrr. Also grrr to the weather, I just looked at the forecast and calculated when I could go outside to play tomorrow :)

  • Morning, damp and grey :(.

    On a brighter note, I have OPd 1p :).

    Kitchen is clean and tidy, DW emptied and reloaded. Mr T is doing a little work and I'm sitting having a catch up with diaries.

    I need to ask St Anthony to help me find something- it's so frustrating when you know you had it, and it's disappeared.

    Grocery shopping came to £66 ish yesterday. Loads of veg as DD will be home :T

    Off to read more diaries and have a cuppa.

    Best wishes, Tilly x x

  • Hope the recovery continues apace.
    Well done on getting close to sub £100k, amazing:j
    Have a great time with DD home. Mine had a nightmare last night where I died as i'd been poisoned, the fact I felt awful last night after drinking out of date orange juice made us both laugh:D xx

  • Morning, yesterday was lovely. We collected DD and her washing :rotfl: Took mum and another relative for lunch and had a great family time. Weather was :eek: but a good time was had regardless.

    Jobs for today - buy Euros (just may be having a few days away :T), washing, financials, plant some basil seeds :T

    I hope someone, somewhere in the UK has sun :)
