    Thanks you two...
    Weather has been ok here today ..just wet and a slight wind nothing unusual.Was quiet on the cab as if people didn't need to go out then they didn't.Nothing to report here all quite boring at the moment and I'm still up to date with the accounts.

    Has the new boiler made a difference Taxi?

    Well done on keeping the accounts up to date it seems to have a formed a habit now so long may it continue.

    Well done on keeping up to date with the accounts - that's a huge achievement and will make your life so much easier. The thing I'm most looking forward to about going back to full-time work is no more accounts! And of course, no more tax bills.

    Hi KM and Seaxwyn...
    The boiler has made loads of difference especially as we had another radiator fitted and a room thermostat.The house is loads warmer and coupled with the new windows and doors installed last year the house is not losing the temperature.So should be good for the environment and my pocket.
    It does feel really good being in control of the accounts now as they were really the bane of my life...
    Seaxwyn bet you're really glad that you will not have to do any more accounts and no large tax bills.

    Lovely - warm house, quiet weather. And Seaxwyn, I'd forgotten temporarily about how tax bills were the bane of your life - thats going to be great on the dfw front too, excellent.

  • Every time I read your diary I come away thinking I must have a go at the bingo! Then I chicken out before I actually go and commit! You're doing so well though.

    Me too EssexHebridean, it all seems too good to be true. I'd be so tempted to put my own cash in and am very wary of loosing ANY of my cash. I'm terrible and the saying about 'speculating to accumulate' is totally lost on me :p Certainly seems to be working for Taxi though - go clean 'em out girl:rotfl::rotfl:

    It has taken me ages to work out gl gl gl - means good luck.... thought it was some crazy giggle - think I'm the crazy one....I'll sneak off on that note :D:D

    I do use some of my money sometimes so please don't follow what I do.People have also had problems with KJP as well so worth waiting to see what happens with that.

    Have had confirmation now that my cash ins have been processed so £300 on it's way back to me.Live help were very helpful and sorted it out with the accounts department so I can't fault them.
    Haven't won on BB for a few days...
    Nothing much going on here...I have a sore throat,cough and earache and am really tired!!!
    Am off tomorrow and intend to have a lie in...just mooching about tonight.

    Sorry you're not well, Taxi, hope it goes really quickly.

    On the bingo front - KJP is dead for dfw purposes, don't do anything there under any circumstances, for any newcomers.

    Taxi - I don't have any problems at all in doing bingo to extract money, the thought of paying real money to play online bingo leaves me completely cold - puzzled, actually, can't understand why people would want to, especially when we're in debt. I understand ploughing back some freebie money on the chance of getting more, but thats a logical thing to do, with its own reasoning.

    Anyway..... your health is more important right now, hope you feel better soon.
