Hi, hectic few weeks and thus MIA. Back on track and need to catch up on diaries.
Total sold was over £2100 either FB or EB and I'm just waiting for last few bits to finish. I put two further tranches of stuff up for sale.
What's new here? I'm pretty sick of the rain but I guess we all are. I am behind with my financials and won't be able to catch up until next week. I have a new phone which I am delighted with :T. I also found a great deal for Mr T and his arrives today.
The house has settled into itself after all the changes. Our new lodger is working out well and only here three nights a week. So far we haven't actually seen him really, as he is an early starter/late finisher.
All in all, peaceful days in the Tilly household.
Best wishes, Tilly xxx2004 £387k 29 years - MF March 2033:eek:

lovely to hear from you. Sent you a text to old phone - hope it arrived to new phone
Fabulous selling and love the idea of a lodger you never see. I could do with one of those!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 -
Hi Watty, hope you have better weather than me - I am completely sick of the rain.
Given the referendum results, Mr T and I may see what can be done about moving before we are out of EU. Happy days
Project EatUp is underway in the Tilly household. £10/week for fresh fruit - garden and freezer has to provide the rest.
I am over run with strawberries :T. Broad beans :T. It will be a bumper raspberry year. Salad leaves are thriving and herbs love the rain.
I hope everyone has large access to a umbrella or two.

These feel like very uncertain times Tilly. What timeframe did you have in mind for the move before all this?

In the meantime:
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

We were planning on just over two years to fall in line when I can take my pension and Mr T being 50. Now we are looking to see if we can go much sooner. Who knows

Evening Gally, plan B it is then :T
My little blue car is going up for sale this week. However, it is part of our decluttering so a step in the right direction.
