    am now thoroughly depressed... road tax is currently £215 per year... rising to £300 after april 09, then rising to £455 the year after that!!!!!!!

    When i suggest now might be the time to get rid of the car, onto someother unsuspecting person who won't realise the tax is going to rise so much, all i get is a load of aggro about how MSE has made me so grippy!! would he rather i was still up to my !!!! in debt.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Just a quickie post as I have a screaming todddler upstairs but thought you might like to know that as from today my lovely husband is now in remission (sp?) It was totally unexpected news and we are shocked, thrilled, excited, scared - every feeling going. He will still continue to take drugs but thats a small price to pay, especially as we feared and were told at one point that the worst would happen. i cant believe it if I am totally honest and am expecting a phone call to say they got it wrong :o I am absolutly over the moon, we both are and I am just so bloomin happy. Its been so hard and I just cant believe its practically over, stupid eh?

    He is still painfully thin, very weak, cant eat much, is taking food supplements like Fortisip and Forticreme but we will now build him up slowly. I am absolutly over the moon but cannot contact my parents who are abroad, my mobile doesnt seem to connect for some reason :confused:

    Anyway, love to you all and hope everybody is ok, will be back soon but apologies to Bunny and Toto as i dont think we will be going on holiday now :o Speak to you all soon. Lots of Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
