    Brilliant post. Great to hear.

    Thrilled that after all the nutty working (so to speak) that you think you will be ok. Well deserved. X

    If it's the one I can hear in the back ground, your right, it is a storm and a half, plus side cat will soon be back in, I need more sleep before work.

    And morning Tilly.

    Great news on the retirement front. How lovely for all the ladies to be together, afternoon tea sounds perfect.

    The storm bypassed us. Was rather looking forward to it too.

    Morning, the storm lasted for well over an hour. Proper rumbling thunder, streaks of lightening. Rain was torrential and the veggies are looking happy this morning.

    £100.50 OPd this morning. £600 will be OPd on Tuesday.

    As mum is with us, it will be salmon, new potatoes and broad beans with parsley sauce tonight.

    I'm taking mum shopping first thing. M&S here we come.

    DD is back in the UK and will be here early evening.

    To finish, a total of £1.39 from my saving pots Tilly Tidied to MOS.

    Have a lovely day, Tilly x x

    Morning Al, truly, I'm feeling so much more like myself and it's great having mum here.

    She's been a good mum - plenty of laughter. She's not always understood my need to have a career. She was a SAHM and thought I should be too. That really is an age thing.

    She's just come in, sporting a dress that is 40 years old and fits her like a glove. Bless.

    Have a good day, Tilly x x x
