Morning Brizzle, you made me laugh with the 'veggie chilli to which I'm adding meat' type of comment.

We eat at least three veggie meals per week and Mr T invariably says 'lovely but could have done with some [insert type of] meat' :):)

Have a good day, Tilly xxx

It was ridiculously delicious. Everyone loved it. We will be doing that again. And as was late home from work was able to fall on it when I came home starving.

Thanks for dropping by - Hope alls well with you. Busy in RL at the moment. One of the main organisers for a charity event we hold every 2 years.. taking up a lot of time and thinking stuff as well as full on at work. But MSE stuff ticking over. In much better place overall - working an extra day per week since April is helping hugely (doh.. obvious comment alert!!) so more income and stopping a lot of eating out has helped. Also a high value lodger (:rotfl:) in that the arrangement is worth between £7-800 PM as he's a student who eats with us etc. All of this has made 2017 a much better year money wise.

Weather miserable here. Hope it's better for the weekend

Have a good Friday all

Hello

So...finally getting to the monthly round up.

We did save i.e. put towards tax funds, pay off last CC bill etc 1/3 of our income which is frankly pretty astonishing. It helped massively that we had a frugal 2 weeks on holiday as our grocery bill was much lower, although we were only feeding 4 not 5. Our household bill went up, we spent a lot on some badly needed new furniture. Maybe the weather helped? I wonder if we spend more when it's dark and wintry.

So...pretty good. A B- perhaps?? Or even a B.

For September I want to have 15 AFDs and declutter 100 items, 25 have already gone. I also want to list more Bay of E items and try for 33% saving.

Wish me luck!!

Xx

Hi Brizzle just popped by to catch up - your "veggie chilli" sounds like the only type of veggie chilli - that I could get OH to try LOL............

:rotfl:....its mainly my lodger..he can't go more than 24 hours without meat he tells me :rotfl:

brizzle remind me what TTs are I know its paying the pennies on your bank balance each day towards a debt but for the life of me cant remember what it stands for "something tallys":rotfl:

Tilly Tidies after the wonderful Tilly who is on these threads. Yes it's rounding down to the next pound, ten pounds or sometimes when I am feeing really rash :rotfl: the nearest £100... you put it towards debt or into your savings. Stress free way to build up a surplus/pay off more debt without really realising. Plus for me it helps me feel that every day something good is happening on the money front.

Pass me your lodger please

Have a great weekend xx
