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.

Thanks..I'm surprised you don't have it there as most staff on the phone lines are Irish so I guess they have quite a bit to do with Ireland.
I really feel for the Irish as they tend to miss out on so much stuff ...and everything seems expensive.
I only know this from Shauns diary:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

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 Thanks Karma...I echo your thoughts re double.You've had a lot going on recently double xxx
Hope everything is ok with you.

Hope you are all ok.
I made it to work today...YAY..it wasn't as busy as I'd have liked but I did ok.
It will all help in the master plan.
By the way ,I'm not having any of you feeling ashamed of yourselves!!!!...we all have different things going on at different times...for instance I don't have any dependant children to swallow my money.
I am hoping(really hoping) that I can be debt/mortgage free by 50 but it may not happen as we never know what is going to happen from day to day.I promise to do my utmost to achieve that goal and the journey wouldn't be half as much fun without all you lovely people to share my trials and tribulations.
I feel guilty sometimes sharing good news when some of you are having troubles.
Since coming home I've managed to:
Do my accounts
do my money bag
check all bank accounts/ccs
PAD to Virgin CC £24.43

Need to do the washing and hoover up and that will be about it for tonight I think.

Don't feel guilty it is good to hear that debt is being repaid it gives us all hope that one day we will all get there.

No contract on the boiler it is oil the last twice the man has been out he has not charged us because it is the same part that keeps going - this time he has replaced the whole unit so it did cost £86 but if it works it will be worth it -he is a very fair engineer. He thinks the problem is MOM (yes I spell it Mom not Mum:rotfl:) tends to have the heating on most of the time and he thinks only having one radiator running means the heat from the boiler is not dispelled and it is overheating - but she is 93 I know she feels the cold more than we do - although I could cry sometimes when I walk into her room and it is like a sauna and she has the window open because she can't work out how to turn the radiator off and won't call anyone:rolleyes:

Anyway I finally managed to play a game of bingo my first for ages and I won £30 :T so even in the DT household things are improving.

it's hearing all the good stories that keep us going though taxi so please dont feel guilty sharing them it's not a competition it's a journey and a support network we wouldnt have it any other way ....

and you are totally right every ones situation is different thats what helps us with ideas ...if we wernt there would be a formula to follow and we would all know what is ahead of us no fun or personal growth though ...think i would rather have it the way it is ...

glad you enjoyed your day back at work ...also glad (in a way) it wasnt too busy for you

Karmacat

Ooh, Double - glad you won at bingo, but very ouch to your mom's sauna atmosphere. My mum doesn't have it quite that bad (10 years younger) but its certainly too hot in her house for me, and I sit as far away from the radiator as I can. It sounds like you can't talk to her about it....

Thanks Elantan...saying I enjoyed work is going too far!!!!..LOL

taxi73

No one need feel guilty, or ashamed - we all have differing circumstances so will repay our debt at different rates, and sometimes we are at it full on, and sometimes we stand still or go backwards......

......but the great thing about this site, is that however we are doing it, and however well, or otherwise we are doing, there is someone on here to pull us along a little bit further, when in the past we may have just got more and more down, and ended up in more debt as a result. We can all [STRIKE]nick[/STRIKE] pick up ideas from others, and work out what works for us, and ditch what doesn't.

So hurrah for debt and mortgage payments by 40, 50, 60 or whenever - without MSE we would all be in a much worse place!
