Countdown to Freedom

It's raining.

Surprising news yesterday. Mr T had a small bonus which is part of a new payment structure. Very welcome and front porch pot is now at 25%.

I'm making mocha coffee ice cream shortly. Mr T bought reduced cream and I'm struggling to use it all up. Loving the freezer with :happyhear

Meal planning for September was finished a while ago but needs printing. No clue what's on it now ��

Lodger is away for two weeks - he is an absolute joy. Immaculate bedroom - he must have OCD tendencies resulting in him being perfect lodger material.

Bargainous smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Right I'd better crack on.

Love unexpected windfalls - how fab that porch is already at 25% of target

All sounds lovely

Sorry about the rain, Tilly, but the rest sounds good - mocha ice cream sounds divine, in fact

Evening, the lawn is happy with all the rain :eek:

Tilly family went to the cinema during the afternoon. War Dogs - surprisingly good film. More importantly we didn't pre book tickets but used vouchers redeemed from S&S or CP, meaning we had to go to a counter manned by people - what a result - 4 X 24£12 tickets were given to us. Even with student and teen discount we can never get to that price so well chuffed.

Junior Tilly brigade have been offering their services this weekend and so far both of them are £20 up. DDs comments "that's two weeks food shopping"; DSs comments "will put away towards my 18th celebrations" - what does he intend doing I wonder......

Back tomorrow xxx

Ay up Tills. I was thinking of you yesterday

Have you picked up the latest In-Store Magazine from mrL? - The 'autumn' edition?

I picked up a copy - never have before, but they are having a baby promo, so I thought I would have a gander. Anyway, as I was flicking through, I was quite surprised how many recipes were in the mag, and kept thinking to myself, ooh Tilly (or muddy) would make Slow cooked curried lamb with red lentils and fluffy rice or Autumn Salad with roasted sea bass or Spiced Roasted vegetables with cous cous and chermoula. And I just know that either of you would rustle up a jug of Autumn Orchard Sangria for your pal gally There were some soup recipes and a risotto recipe too - don't know if missTilly would find anything of interest to include in her student recipe index (because she'd be able to accomplish any of those recipes, I know - but sometimes we all need a bit of inspiration ).

There are also some MOV in the back cover - 40% off; chilled soups, lean diced beef steak, face cream (not implying you need it, just reporting facts! ) and chef select family pies. Vouchers valid until 25/09/2016.

HTH the Tilly clan, or anyone else who wanders through this magnificent diary

TTFN, Greying X

Thanks Greying. I need to pop in today as Mr T has just changed the meal plan for tonight and I'm short on peppers.

Will pick one up xxxxxx



Mr T is a happy chap. His chilli plant against the south west facing house wall has gone mad and we have loads

MuddyWhiteChicken - do you want some of Mr Ts chilli harvest?

Tilly - the galia melons at our mrL were WELL WORTH 59p - they are in the 'pick of the week'.

I'm not encouraging you to spend 59p - but if you were minded......

Are all chillies edible? I have two chilli plants rescued from the bin at Mr Smith.

Tilly_MFW_in_6_YRS

I haven't come across a chilli that isn't edible yet. Some are tooooooo hot
