    Morning all...
    Checked banks etc and the £114.30 has arrived back from the insurance company for the last 2 months premiums.
    Am just waiting one from Halifax now.
    GMAC has also cashed their cheque...so whats left in the bank is right now.

    DD is picking the keys and tennancy up for the new place today.

    Not a lot planned for today so just another day of tottering and must bring the accounts up to date also need to do the banking

    Wish they would hurry up and send the oncologists appointment so that I know what's happening.

    Hi Taxi - thats really good for your DD - and thats a good spend too, the deposit for a more accessible flat, life is *so* much easier.

    I appreciate your mortgage is bigger than you thought - but you've still freed up £900 a month, so I'm sure you'll be fine. Especially now you've given DWP what for :)

    Take it easy today.

    Morning Taxi and all :)

    I haven't red back to the beginning but it's great news that you are DF - that must be a huge relief for you. Lovely that you can help out DD too, she sounds like she needed a break.

    Hope you have a good day x

    Hi Taxi...I read your thread and just wonder at the enthusiasm and lust for life you have despite everything that's happened.
    If you could bottle it up Taxi and sell it you would be a millionaire :)
    You really are amazing especially when all through this you have still posted encouragement and advice on others threads.
    You're a star...:A

    Hey Taxi...am glad to see that things are going well, and that you have even managed to help your daughter.

    Enjoy your new camera and debt freeness: you will be mortgage free in record time as well if you and Mr Taxi manage to earn anywhere near the amount of money you have been doing, but it's nice that you don't have to. x
