    You can now focus your energies on getting fit and well, and living a long and healthy life, rather than worrying about getting enough money in to pay the bills.

    If it were me, I would be busy with my calculator and my new SOA right now, which I would then look at lovingly :rotfl:

    Woo hoo, Taxi! :D

    Ladies and gentlemen, Taxi is now officially a size zero...financially! ;)

    Seriously though, I'm delighted for you. :D That's one big load of both your and Mr Taxi's shoulders, and will make life a lot easier without that constant worrying in the background. Just use the same energy you have been paying the debt off with to get better and you will be putting the rest of us to shame with reports of your exercise regime and healthy living in no time! :D:D
