    Hi Taxi

    Congrats on your new lovely diary. It sounds like you're getting organised, which I hope to do myself once the kids are back at school.
    Love the idea of debt and mortgage free by 50.:T

    Lovely new diary , with full confessional-brave girl:D

    Good luck Taxi, not that you'll need it, because you are so determined that i have no doubt those debts and mortgage will be gone.:D

    Phew ...all jobs done except paperwork....(no surprise there then)....
    Hypno...LOL...she'll not get £12k...that's the reserve...obviously private medicals and solicitors will be a fortune....she'll be lucky to get £1.5k as she only had soft tissue damage(bruises)....it will be interesting to see the paperwork when it's done.Apparently when you have an accident the insurers put a reserve amount on a database until the actual amount is paid out.This is what brokers/insurers check to determine how much/or if they'll insure you.
    Amazing what you can learn off brokers....
    I'm tired now....will attempt to do some paperwork after...I really do need to do it for a number of reasons....
    The accounts need doing.
    I need to take loads of documents to brokers.
    I need to find log in details for mortgage account.
    I want a nice clutter free house....mmm right!!!
    I need to be able to find things when needed.


    It'ssuch a mammoth task though...it scares me..lol...I never know where to start.
