    Hi. It's when you tidy an account up into a savings or overpayment pot. For example if I had £289.56 in an account I could Tilly Tidy the 56p to make it £289.00 or you can tidy a bit more to make it rounder so £4.56 to leave £285. It's a way of making continual progress towards your goal without really feeling the difference in one big hit if money is tight. It feels good too! :D Hope that makes sense.

    I go out for a night and come back to this :rotfl:

    Hopefully Tilly Tidies, or TTs for short :), will help the journey.

    Thanks for making me laugh out loud - Mr T is in the library (otherwise known as the bathroom) and he's wondering what's going on :)



    Night, Tilly x x x x x

    Another TT fan here but can only afford the baby ones :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Supposed to be working, but couldn't resist this one.....

    Tilly Tidies are in fact a process that Tilly MFW undertakes every time she 'loses' a lodger. Indeed, you may notice that Tilly Tidies (or TTs) will coincide with a full freezer or perhaps further patio/extension building.

    Just thought I should clear this up.
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

    C'mon nattypants:cool:
