    Morning Taxi.....you and DH must feel so relieved that the insurance has paid out.

    Well done on becoming Debt Free :T

    Have a great weekend.

    Morning Taxi,

    Your diary moves fast!

    First things first - congratulations on being debt free. As many have said, that insurance was there for just this reason. I know you will be spending he money wisely. Congratulations on your keeping up the healthy lifestyle. Bit by bit it will become your way of life and you will not even have tothink about it.

    I am also very impressed with your new bit of kit. I havd afilm SLR and am really keen to upgrade to a digital camera but I will hve to save now and do my research.

    Also nice to havd your daughter move to a nicer place.

    Have a lively day - it's already very hot here!

    Taxi ~ I would imagine that it is perfectly normal to have a few or more bad days.
    You have been through such a lot lately.
    Please dont beat yourself up & be kind yourself up.
