    so that is that re the finances. not bad at all, especially once i work out where the rest has gone!! it is nice to have the breathing space for now but in december my surplus will be dropping back to zero again so making the most of it while i have it!! hoping that i can renegotiate the family payment in december if needed but the capital one debt willbe gone by then and i should also be able to get rid of the mcf loan by then too. not looking bad!! more of an update in the morning, i'm taking a little puppy dog off to bed now. :)

    night night all. xxx

    yes sure is taxi but incorporates an internet dongle for £25 plus vat. as i dont have access to a landline and all my family live in kent i'm kinda snookered. cant change the contract as not up for renewal yet but is £35 for 1200 mins and unlimited texts which isnt bad. the dongle can be cancelled in feb, woohoo!
