    Hi Taxi. I didn't read your old thread TBH as I would have spent hours catching up. However I will put myself down for daily updates as I would like to know how you get on.
    Good luck with next years challenge and I hope all the people of your town decide to catch a taxi when you are on duty.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    MOrning Tealady, Hypno and anyone else reading...
    Thankyou ..you 2 are both about early ...there were 2 reasons I started the new diary..the first as it was such a large challenge that I was starting and I would've started one after christmas and the second was because a lot of newbies would be joining about this time it would be too much for them to read through the first diary as Tealady rightly pointed out.
    This morning , I've not been up long so haven't done much yet though I've checked online banking,quidco and pigsback...my quidco money has gone in this morning £28.66...so that will get paid off a bill at some time...
    I 'm not really bothered about going out tonight to tell you the truth ..it's miles away..about 9 I think..so will go down in the car and leave it there overnight and get a taxi back (£15-£20)..then the person whos house it is is picking either myself or DH up tomorrow to collect the car to drive back...DH is paying for the taxi back...can you tell men arranged it!!!...the other person could've saved hassle by picking us up in the first place...lol...ahh well...I haven't got anything to wear that fits either so may go to T.esco or somewhere to buy something...I'm also a large size so am limited to what shops I can use...will think about it over my brew....have a good day everyone..take care xx

    Morning fellow DFWs...how are we this morning?...
    I've got a bit of a hangover as went to the party last night..it turned out to be really good in the end. I have to pick my car up from there later...
    I did buy myself a pair of trousers yesterday which were very much needed £15 and a lovely top £18 that wasn't needed but was lovely..so £33 for a complete outfit...so not bad...a bit naughty really re the top...I even put make up on last night and did my hair first time in ages..I think I must be a bit depressed on the quiet...
    Today I'm chilling out as I'm back at work tomorrow...just tottering about and maybe a little housework as I need to have it done by the 17th december as BT is coming to fit my internet but may leave it until that weekend to clean the house top to bottom as I'll have no internet that weekend fron the 14th -16th...just going to update sig as my holiday fund and tax money has been transferred...take care xxx

    I was shocked as well...she told the office to tell us to come tonight for it...hope she's not mucking us about...JJ totally understands it ..I was shocked he knew loads and he's not 3 until januauary...he told santa to send his bike and scooter to nana jackies in manchester cos he has one at grandmas and one at mummys house and not at nannas...santa was trying to keep a straight face...he asked him if he wanted anything else and he said anything at grandmas and mummys....told santa that he'd leave magic milk (milkshake)...cos he doesn't like milk ..it's yucky...and to come in the door because the fire is burny!!!!..not bad for2....he understands too much sometimes....lol...he had me in stitches....
