    Hey there, Taxi, hope you're taking it easy.

    I'm afraid I've just found more books and CDs to declutter :eek:

    Well I have had a super afternoon with a very wonderful lady and her family including of course super dog Tess :T

    As I said to Taxi today I feel that I know some of you on here very well indeed better than some of my "real" friends as we share such a lot and on such a regular basis. It was lovely to meet Taxi and for once she actually was very much like I had pictured. It was great to meet her family and I can confirm her OH is a real gem - what a lovely man. Her daughters are lovely and very funny together and I can see they care a lot for their mum. Sorry I didn't get to meet JJ - next time I hope. Great to hear the good news about the bone scan and Taxi looks very well.

    Also went to the clinic thought I had only lost half a pound but on rechecking it is a 1Lb grrrrr to TOTM :mad: but at least it is off and have hit the magic 1 stone mark so 1 down 5 to go - oops forgot I am on Taxi's thread will copy this and post it on my own sorry

    DTxx

    Totally agree dt, Taxi is one of the most lovely ladies, dd and I met her last year when we were on hol in Blackpool, and JJ, her ds quick hi, her dd, and oh, and Tess who dd wanted to take home and Toby (RIP), like you we were made to feel so welcome, and when we met her felt like I'd know her for years, I gained a very good friend, a lovely toyboy in JJ, he is an absolute treasure, just wish I had a magic wand, as she is one in a million. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Just a thought re your payment from memory, when I claimed IS they took the 1st three days as not payable, they worked it on the same lines as ssp, the 1st 3 days aren't counted, maybe they do that with ESA as well, xx

    (I may be totally wrong so apologies in advance xx)

    Oh I am jealous, I would love to meet Taxi in the flesh, and her family too. I can tell Taxi is a lovely person after three years of reading her posts and 'chatting'.
