Garlic and broad beans can go in during the next two weeks :T

Oh my! That hadn't occurred to me!




ETA - enjoy your holiday with your mum! I've just had the "2016 holidays" conversation with my mum, actually, we may not get to Norfolk next year because there's two family weddings (one in Scotland, one in Eire) and her own 90th !!!

Morning, I'm a moaning Tilly this morning. 2.30am and I was still awake. How come sometime you go to bed, snuggle down and drop straight to sleep and others you just lie there. I was almost counting sheep :rotfl:

Hair cut this morning, then receipts, shopping, washing and finally walking with the hounds adter I pick Mr T up early afternoon.

The sun is shining.

Money news - cheque has cleared and I've moved another £450 to Future pot. To give me something to aim for, I'm breaking down th costs - bathroom budget, kitchen, electricals etc.

Best wishes Tilly x

We went to bed early as we couldn't stay awake and then were awake by 1230 and it took me 3 hours to get back to sleep! I hope your lack of sleep doesn't affect your day x

You & your family are so inspirational powering through your target & being in such a great position with your holiday/future home too. Pretty please could I get a copy of the meal plan bits, will send my email address over.

Interested to know which surface you went for GB/RAM as i'm seriously looking at it as a replacement for my aging netbook.

Evening, brilliant day. Hair cut and highlighted - love it. Theatre and dinner out with Mr T.

Long chat with mum to sort arrangements for our holibob. She's looking forward to seeing the sun.

I need to do the menu plan for October - who stole September.

I am having a few problems with email so will send outstanding menu plans once I'm sorted.

I want to see if we can get to London tomorrow to see the horse installation - unless I'm mistaken they are down from the London Eye.
May not have time, but will do our best.

Right, I'm going to catch up with Strictly.

Best wishes, Tilly x x

Morning, I can't see the trees over the road, in the park. It is so misty :eek:

Plans have changed for today. I managed to acquire a free bookcase for DDs room near Uni. Excellent condition, Ike@ so modern. Taking it to her today. This will quadruple the storage she has which is very welcome.

DS and Mr T watched the rugby last night. A not very happy Mr T came to bed

Menu plan for the first two weeks of October is done. Too many things going on at the moment to do more.

£11.71 claimed from Tcb and I'll move to Future pot once it arrives.

Mr Ts payday tomorrow. This would normally be mortgage payday as well. :T:T:T

I'm not posting as much at the moment as my priorities and focus have changed. The relief at clearing the mortgage and understanding that we can change our lives in three years has been a revelation. We will continue to do something, as we both need a focus but for the first eighteen months it will be the new build and completion of decorating, furnishing etc. We don't need new furniture but we will need to think about what we keep, sell, giveaway.

Right, I have ironing to do then we are off to DD with delivery.

Best wishes Tilly x x

This sounds wonderful, Tilly! And as you know, I completely understand about posting issues

It doesn't matter how often you post, Tilly. It is always a pleasure to read what you write and hear what the clan are up to.

Hope Mr T is happier today... Dss was at the match - old schoolmates with one Mr Launchbury (sp?) no less. Not seen him this morning yet...

I agree - I've been like that myself recently

Tilly, it's your thread,post when you feel like it, it's nice to have the change of focus, and the thread will be here for the likes of me who have just started the over payment journey, encouraging us to change how we do thing's,and think bigger and better, when it comes to meal planning, and little and often for Tilly Tides.
