Taxis back to basics...debt and mortgage free before 50(feb 2014)

taxi73

Have just spoke to insurance and they haven't received the Consultants report yet and are dut to send a follow up letter today/tomorrow.
Once they have it and if it contains enough info then it takes about a week to sort...
I have left a message for BCN ..(she'll probably phone back in a bit)....to see if she can give him a gentle push....so fingers crossed.

So back to waiting again.

KC..we just have to get on with things...nothing more can be done on that score for now...I've done everything I can do on it at this moment in time...so it needs to go to the back of my mind until my op...when I will actually see him and can have a word with him.
Today I am planning to go and see my friend when DH gets in from work..as I need the car.
I feel sorry for DH ...he's putting in extra hours but this week so far work has been quite quiet.

I topped up my potaoes yesterday and I have a few tiny strawberries on my plant...am so proud...will go water the plants in a bit before going out..the seeds are growing as well....

Weather here is cold and windy at the minute....bit grey...not bothered what the weather does as it's nice to be alive to see it....xxx

Have a good day everyone x

Hi Taxi :wave:,

Thought I'd drop by to say hello. Hope your insurance gets sorted soon so that DH can stop working himself into the ground. And that you manage to do something nice with your day.

I've been getting car insurance quotes: I'm pleased cos they aren't as much as I was expecting. I had a friend who was once a taxi driver and his insurance was through the roof! I don't know why I just put you and car insurance together in my head, but I did. (?)

Take care. xxx

Absolutely! You're a great role model for that - do it, then put it out of your head.

He's a good hubby! There's only so much any of us can do when work is quiet......

And thats not hyperbole.... All power to you.

I shall pop to the seafront and breathe deep, thinking of you on the Irish Sea (just about!). Enjoy your visit to your friend.

Right what do I have to report for today....you won't believe how forgetful I am at the moment...lol

On the MSE front....I've paid £240 off the BMI card today...so am getting there with that one but this is the last payment that I'll make on it until it's min payment is due on 22nd.

Had a phone call from BCN....
(1) she went to see consultants secretary regarding claim form and was going to fill it in but it has a note attached saying that nobody else was to fill it in...unfortunately he is on his holidays until monday..so she will mention it to him monday and maybe he will fill it in then...no point in worrying about it...she totally understands why I want it doing ASAP...and I didn't need to go into any details why...

(2) She then asked me if she'd given me any information on Mcmillan grants and I said no....but had seen it on their site but hadn't any intention of applying for one....she's sending me a form and I just have to fill in the information that has a cross by it and she'll do the rest...don't know how I feel about that but no harm in applying...I really don't like DH working all these hours and it will be hard for him to do lots of hours when I'm having treatment and need looking after.



Went to see my friend and she's had it bad but is bearing up...bless her she even offered to take me to chemo/rads or anything else that's needed so that DH can carry on working and this while she is suffering herself.
I think we both found it beneficial to talk to each other about our cancers as she doesn't want to worry her family and I don't want to worry mine.So we had quite a nice afternoon in a strange sort of way IYSWIM....

Think that's everything for my day....

Nothing planned now until monday....so can please myself and get myself sorted for the coming week.

Hope everyone has had a good day x

Evening Taxi, sounds like another productive day. It's good that you have a friend going through a similar thing (not good IYSWIM ), to have someone who really understands must be a good release.

Good to hear that you have a few free days ahead. Apparently the Sun's going to put in an appearance too :T
Take care x

Not going to do much over the next few days as I'm pretty tired and had to take painkillers today.Think I need to reserve some energy for next week.
I also need to start eating regular healthy meals...asam going all day most days without eating.
I am drinking a lot of organic fruit juices though to build up my vitamin C.

You must eat properly Taxi. Maybe a day of reading tomorrow to help you rest?

Think may just sit about watching mindless tv..rarely watch tv without doing something else at the same time

Do whatever helps you rest...for me its knitting/crochet but were all differnent...sleep helps too - a great healer. Worth taking 1000mg vit c a day (I do daily all the time) as boosts your immunity...
Hope you hear soon re grants/insurance etc - take all you can. Youve earned it by working and its times like this you need it. Hug for oh as it must be a worry for him and maybe working helps him to feel he's DOING something at a time when many people feel useless to help iykwim.
Hang in there and huge hugs for you both!
