    Oh blimey, Taxi, isn't there anything else, an overdraft or something? I hope you can see your way clear.

    At least you're not short because you splurged on something crazy. And you have a way of earning more money - stick with it just through these few weeks.

    good luck Taxi, hope you don't have to resort to the gold, but i'm sure if it's based on support from here you'll be ok and the bills will be paid.

    Hi all...
    KC ..I do have a overdarft and am well and truly in it..lol
    I do hope that I don't have to resort to the gold..If I do I do....I know that the problem won't occur again though..so that's a positive.
    It has occurred due to quite a few reasons..brakes for the car,dog being put to sleep,a day off for me and a night off for DH at said time,paying the halifax card off before the 0%,stopping using the credit card and using the debit card instead meaning a double whammy,paying the extra £50 off A+L,plus extra £100 off BMI..that alone was ove £2k worth !!!!
    Next month will be easier...we need to earn about £1500 now before end of month to cover everything and not go over the overdraft....maybe need slightly more as diesl is on top of that....

    DH had a good night last night.
    I have had a good day today..I got a fare to Southport!!!
    We are not having a day off and are not having pocket money this week.
    So keep those fingers crossed..

    I've not been around for a bit Taxi so just caught up. A few posts ago you said there wasn't much happening!! (sorry don't know how to quote)

    LOL - how much do you want to happen???? - Since I last read your diary you've lost your poor dog - it's like loosing a family member - look after yourself.... have paid off 3 credit cards..... got a cossie and joining a gym..... had accountant go awol with all your necessary papers.... re-discovered the necessary papers and need to work your butt off to make the numbers crunch!!!

    If that's not much happening I'd hate to be around you in a time of crisis LOL.- You SURE you're not superwoman??????????????????????


    That poem was beautiful - brought a tear to me eye!!

    Seconding milann here! Good news on the fare to Southport tho - I envy you being in Southport, I *love* Southport, all that rich toned sandstone. And that mad pier with a train on! And excellent news too that Mr Taxi will forego the usual pocket money, you too, to try to bring it all in. You're going to make it, or so nearly so, I can feel it!
