  • Menu plans sent out. Apologies for delay I've been running all over the place this week.

    There's a possibility I'm going to need further surgery and I'm NOT HAPPY about that. However, someone who had done the same thing underwent surgery and all is perfect now. I'd rather have it now than find out I've left it too late.

    Washing is on the ine, bedding all changed, bathrooms cleaned, ironing winking at me :)

    £22.37 claimed from TCB, plus £10 won on TNS RM survey group.

  • Thanks for the lovely posts about the mortgage. I really appreciate you taking the time to write. I do recognise we were fortunate in having well paid jobs but we certainly changed our ways.

    This month I'm moving our normal mortgage payment and OP straight to the Future pot :j

    And that post exactly exemplifies why people think so well of you :j:j:j

    Though I *am* concerned about your lack of toilet rolls - I think you should use the OP for toilet rolls and the like :rotfl:

  • Hi Tilly,

    I know only of you from the Tilly Tidies fame :) I have a "float" bank account which I pay my Tilly's tidies, I didn't even know your proper log in name.

    Very impressive achievement regarding the mortgage. I shall have to read your diary properly.

    Just wanted you to know the impact you have on people here. My "float" has saved my bacon many times!

    thank you, much love and luck for the new chapter. XXX
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Buffythedebtslayer, what a lovely post. Many thanks for taking the time to pop by. I'm glad TTs are helping :

    I'll creep out again now. I promise that's my only splurge.
