  • Morning, we are enjoying a few days away. Weather carp but air smells of orange blossom. Fresh OJ from oranges in the garden - bliss.

    We have spent some money whilst here changing phone provider and internet but hopefully service will be more consistent.

    Woken to blue sky and we are off for a walk on the beach.

    83p Tilly Tidied to MOS :)

    Very best wishes

    I'm glad to hear it, Tilly - that will build up your immune system again, hopefully! Have a lovely time

    Glad you're having a good break :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I have read a lot of your diary and really do find you a great inspiration, I hope a break does you the power of good.

  • Morning, lovely night out with chums last night - possibly too much wine consumed but never mind :)

    @atypicalblonde, feel free to pop in any time. 2015 has seen a reduction in my posts but I hope to get back to normal during the next few weeks :). It's a great forum and really has helped me (and Mr T) focus on where our money goes. This week it seems to have gone on wine :rotfl:

    Surprisingly the weather was glorious yesterday even though the forecast was dodgy - all the washing dried on the line :T

    PC survey completed. Just over £50 claimed from TCB :T

    I'd better crack on - Tilly x x

    Enjoy the warmth and fun away :)
    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 !!

    Isn't that the whole point to getting rid of our mortgages early, so there is more money for wine

    Or is that just me...........
