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.
This has actually confused me. I thought I understood it until your post.0 -

We joke with Tilly that when she looses a lodger they land up in the freezer or under the patio
... And that she has tidied in the physical sense rather than financial 
The financial sense is as above
Natty ... I miss ya chick xxx0 -

I just loooove Tillys Tidies.:heartsmil:heartsmil:heartsmil:heartsmil
I do it religiously every day with my on-line banking and some months it can leave me with around £100 more than I otherwise would not have had to play with.
If you do on-line banking just make a point of going in every day and transferring the odd pounds/pence over to an on line savings account.
OnLine Savings accounts are usually easy to open and even if you think you will ,its amazing to realise that you don't miss those little amounts that accumulate over the month or longer.
Best of luck trying...and thanks again to the legend that is Tilly
