    You're working today, aren't you ..... hope its going to go okay. Deep breathing, please - helps those lungs, its calming, it helps your metabolism too. I should take my own advice......... :)

    Hi Taxi,

    I have just done it again.... I have just spammed you!! I couldn't understand it as it is only on your diary that it happens:o Then I noticed your reply button is under the " like it" button instead of the last of a row of 3. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Now forgotten what I was going to say:o but I am sure it involved wishing you a good day and hoping the cold is better:)

    Love

    Hi all..haven't been to work today as am absolutely streaming with this cold!!!!
    6 days now not smoking....feeling ok apart from this cold and am pleased I'm sticking with my diet as well.
    Went to Asda earlier for shopping (it was packed out) and that took all my energy..lol
    My accounts are all up to date for the tax year...will just need to spend an hour or two double checking them and they will be ready for the accountant..really proud of myself for that!!!!

    Just done my sig as have paid £640.12 off various debts the last few days taking me to over £14k paid off since December....

    I have some money here to go off a CC here as well...so will sort that tomorrow when I do the rest of the banking.am thinking of tackling DHS BMI card as it's the lowest balance and may be cleared quite quickly...just leaving 2 CCs to be paid.

    That's about it I think ...

    blimey Taxi that's amazing, 14k since December. I'm aiming for 15k for the whole year and i doubt i'll actually achieve much more than 12k.
    hope the cold clears soon

    Seconded, Lemon Tree!

    Taxi, you are a one-woman debt-busting hurricane. It's unbelievable what you have managed to get through. Well done doesn't even begin to cover it. Go you! :T :T :T

    Taxi, thats seriously stonking! Accounts ..... debtbusting .... losingweight .... stoppingsmoking! Astonishing! No wonder you have a cold - losing weight and stopping smoking are both putting extra toxins into your bloodstream, temporarily - you're not putting them in any more, so you're body's taking the chance to get rid of what you've accumulated. Drink lots and *lots* of water, that'll help with flushing your system of the cold germs too.

    But once again: well done!

    It's 00.35. Of course you are! ;) You're still doing brilliantly, though. I need some of your willpower. :o
