    Morning, a little time out due to hospital stays - can't beat a bit of surgery for improving NSD :)

    Mortgage was paid yesterday and we are at £104k :T:T

    Next month we break the six figure mortgage :j

    £7.45 claimed from TCB
    £3 from PC

    Garden looks a delight and raised beds are all painted, lamps for candles up cycled by DD. Clean, tidy and salad stuff growing well under cloches.

    Raspberry bed weeded. Strawberry bed weeded, a little culling, and straw cradling plants.

    Menu plan needs to be done but I need a freezer inventory first. As DD is coming home this weekend, hopefully she can do this.

    I'm off for a walk this morning with a girlfriend. Hopefully the sun will shine :)

    Have a good day, Tilly x x

    Good heavens, Tilly! Well, great news in a lot of that, to be sure - how are you feeling after that surgery, tho?

    I do love that description of your garden, sounds wonderful!

    I have some bubble wrap if you want to roll up in it before you go xx
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I don't think Mr T will let me out of the house without a responsible adult until I'm completely repaired :rotfl:

    Karmacat, I'll pm you with details of my exploits :)

    Beautiful day in parts blended with periods of atrocious rain and wind :eek: Walk postponed due to girlfriend switching plans to tomorrow. This has worked well as Mr T is away for the day tomorrow.

    Dinner is leftover beef, just need to decide what to do with it.

    Needhelpsaving, thanks for your kind comments :)

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    Aww, Tilly, don't worry about taking extra time to pm me, just look after yourself. PM if you want a delayed-action chat, by all means :)

    We've had huge rainstorms today! And some thunder! And now I can hardly see the laptop screen its so sunny :rotfl:

    Speedy recovery vibes on route x
    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 !!
