    Well gosh I just read all your plans and schemes and you are so organised. What are you doing driving a taxi - you should be running a moneysaving website! I am very envious of your real prospect of being DF and MF at 50, it's making me feel even more ashamed of myself as I am the same age as you with no realistic hope of being MF ever! It makes me chuckle to think of that £1000 doing the rounds every month though.

  • Wow Taxi you have been doing some great work on all fronts - makes me feel ashamed.

    Finally caught up on your diary my internet is cr*p at the moment I have reset the router 6 times already the signal keeps dropping it is driving me mad.

    Your debt busting, accounts and cleaning are superhuman :beer:

    I am going to try and play my free bingo and then settle down to work out my actual debts if the internet lets me so I know where I stand - debt free and mortgage free by 50 is wonderful I was 50 this year and I am going backwards I will be lucky if I make it by 60 but feeling sorry for myself is not going to do it I need to work out a new plan - internet has just gone again:mad: and as a result I have missed the free bingo :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:So I am copying this in case I lose it when I post

    DTxx

    oh and the central heating is broke again - do you think someone doesn't like me?

    Wow taxi that sounds like its all covered well. I like the idea of you getting the £5 then transferring your money back, what a great plan, wish we had the same deal over here, mind you I'd have to find €1000 first:rotfl: Well done on the debtbusting hope your head is feeling better.

    Taxi's going great, I'm really chuffed for you, but double, things just keep piling up at the mo, don't they. I'm sorry they do. Is the CH something easily (if frequently) fixable?

    Hi Seaxwyn..nice to see you about....
    I get all my tips from here so cannot take the credit myself:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I often read the bank account board and the savings board:T:T:T

    DO NOT feel ashamed of yourself as everybodies circumstances are different.

    As for the £1000 circulating..I laugh myself as it's one up on Halifax:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope everything is ok with you.

    Sorry to hear that you are still having a rough time of it:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:..when will it end.
    DO NOT feel ashamed of yourself...as I say everyones circumstances are different.

    I'd be in touch with my internet provider if I was having all those problems as either your router has gone or your internet is bad!!!

    Sorry to hear the boiler has gone again..do you have a BG contract or similar?..hope it's fixed soon.

    Good luck with adding up and sorting your debts..at least you'll know where you are up to.
