Completely understand Squirrel. I'm at the point where at some point in the week DS and Mr T are standing back to back checking their heights :rotfl: Mr T always seems to have trainers on though and DS is bare footed
The sun is shining although it's chilly.
I'm heading off to see my mum and Mr T kindly filled the car up. He reports that it was good to see the litre measure going more quickly than the £.
Ten day trip to Portugal planned. We are having some work done and sadly someone needs to be there (:j). The weather has been pretty terrible in the last week though so fingers crossed the sun comes out.
Shopping tomorrow for a middle eastern themed meal in Saturday. I was cooking lamb but as DD is coming home, it will need to be beef - blinking kids.
Right, I'd better jump to it.
Best wishes Tilly

Off to look for the SW recipeA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Hello Tilly,
A 10 day trip to Portugal sounds fab. I hope that the weather will be good and that the work you are having done goes smoothly.

Thistle, you are welcome anytime :T
Evening, I've had mum staying with us for a week. She has had a lovely time, met Mr and Mrs MWC, been to garden centres, clothes shopping and a concert.
She is however, much harder work than even a year ago. Very sad to see the changes age brings.
Anyway, on a brighter note, I'm off tomorrow to Portugal :T

Have a lovely time in Portugal. Is mum going too?Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -

Not tomorrow but we are already planning her 2016 trip with her sister
She has loved the cuddles received from two large hounds. They have been so gentle with her

I thought you'd been quiet, even though I saw you this morning
I know what you mean about being harder work - my mum definitely qualifies.
Portugal, though! Tomorrow! Have a fantastic time, Tilly, I'm sure you will.2023: the year I get to buy a car0
