  • Hi Tilly,

    Just checking in!
    We're just back from Cornwall (omg how much did we spend!!) and your mention of paydays has reminded me how fortunate I am in that I get a payday every Tuesday and a monthly payday on the second Wednesday of every month. I SO need this Tuesdays!!!!!

    Having said we spent a lot though, it was all budgeted through YNAB so I know we had the money to start with so it doesn't feel too bad.

    Hope the hounds enjoyed their walk. You've inspired me to get out a bit today. Usually I blame my hip for holding me back but if I can do a 7 mile cliff walk in Cornwall, I can manage to do one here (although the views wont be as spectacular!!)

    YNAB is changing the way I live my life....and spend my money!!
  • Glorious sunny afternoon.

    2.5kg of green tomato and chilli chutney on the go :j

    Hounds are going mad so we are off for another walk.


    Glad you had a good time Thistle. I love Cornwall.

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    Oh Mr E, what a lovely first Christmas with Juliet :T:T

    You'll hopefully be in your new home with the Christmas tree up and having a fab first Christmas.
