TAXIS...Beating the cancer and clearing the mortgage the final hurdle.

Am back again...lol

Can't concentrate when DH is nattering my head off...lol

Am no good at links but if you look at https://www.alternativelook.co.uk and look for a wig called tori in coffee/latte ...that's the one I got.

Have got the taxi insurance quote....£1229.20..this is the best the broker could do as a few firms have dropped out of the taxi market and insurance has gone up hugely across the board....
Am thinking of taking the 3 month payment plan from them costs extra £30 (still tax deductible) payments of £421.20,£419,£419 as then I won't have the pressure of finding it all by the beginning september....if I have it all then I'll pay in full...just less pressure.

Have worked out last chemo should be 17th Nov if nothing goes wrong and if things go spot on rads may finish beginning new year.

Made a phonecall to MBNA to cancel CC as they had charged us £12 fee for failed DD...it failed because I owed them nothing so cancelled DD....result £12 refunded,apology and 0% deal...don't need the deal but will keep card for emergency...could use it to pay ins but probably won't.

Halifax..also wanted to charge £15 for refused DD but got that refunded as well.

Used my taxi discount card today in subway....I get footlong and drink for £3.99..so big saving there....it was what I fancied and they wear gloves so thought it was cleaner than other places.

We were ages in wig shop...had the wig trimmed slightly and bought the pack to go with it £27...but includes everything for the life of the wig.

was really exhausted when we got back so have just washed/dried a load of washing and chilled out

The wig is nice, and bang on trend as well!

Using the CC to pay your insurance off sounds like a good idea. I know that after everything you've gone through with CCs etc. that it probably doesn't seem appealing, but £30 is £30 and you could work out the repayments to be the same as if you paid it back in 3 instalments. (Check they don't charge extra for taking a credit card as some do.)

Enjoy the chillin'! x

Bet you look ace in it...I'll come to Blackpool and stalk all the women with good-looking brown bobs in order to find you and see for myself. I'll bring a toy taxi and keep showing it to them until one of them goes red and scuttles away! :rotfl:
