    Till's thank you for your advice to katep23 this morning. It set me thinking. I like it when something sets me thinking :D I'm always happy to challenge my way of doing things and to see if improvements can be made :D I think tonight's tea was an improvement because of it :D

    You're an inspiration :D Thanks hun! :D

  • Morning StripeySock, brilliant first OP - it's a good feeling to know you're reducing £ to the bank.

    Pop round for dinner anytime :)

  • Morning, £97 OPd this morning. 71p moved to MOS.

    Glorious sunny day - Mr T is having a well deserved lie in.

    SC on the go and Mr T and I will (hopefully) eat outside. Table laid, candles and Mr Ts favourite bottle of wine. If weather too poor, we will be inside.

    Have a good day. Tilly x x x

    Morning Tilly. I can see from your signature that you hope to be MF by the end of August. Are you still on target to do this?
  • Morning SweetDaisy, we have an endowment paying out in July which will clear all bar £13k and that will go via std monthly OPs in June, July and August. It's pretty exciting :j
