    Hi taxi, I'm so glad the first day back went OK - you'll soon be earning good money again and speeding towards your targets.

    Evening Taxi, I am glad that the first day back was successful. You will soon be seeing the financial rewards, but remember not to push yourself too much in the early days x

    Evening all...thanks for your lovely comments...that's really kind of you...I managed 6 1/2 hours today...didn't take loads but it's money I didn't have!!!...I decided to start early at 7.30 am and worked until 2pm...came home had a brew then went to sort things at the job centre...apparently they've totally stuffed up my last payment so a manager is looking into it...and going to ring me tomorrow!!!!...money should start filtering through soon...
    I've also just updated my sig as my car loan has gone out today...so close to £40,000 now!!!!...Seaxwyn you are nearly at that grand total...well done.

    Hope the rest of the week goes smoothly for you taxi....and that the job centre sort the money situation out easily too.

    WHY is nothing simple?!

    Evening Seaxwyn and all...had a good day at work today and managed 7 hours...in 3 days I've earnt just over £200...so am really happy with that..and the only expense is the fuel £20...so £180 up!!!...YIPPEE...I'll soon be in front at this rate...
    I haven't managed to get to the bank for a few days so have gone into the 0/d but it isn't worth listing it as I have the money here!!!!...will go tomorrow...
    I'm taking wednesday and thursday off this week to have a rest.Tomorrow the dog van comes at 11am to give my dog his bath and he def needs one as he hasn't been done for 6 months!!!....he's such a big dog..thats why we have him bathed on the van...
    Good news my sick pay is being paid tomorrow at 3pm as a counter payment..then I've to go to town to cash it..so might as well do the banking at the same time...so that's that sorted...
    I'll be well under £40k by the 15th as I'm waiting for barclays to take their payment and I can make an overpayment of at least £400 and maybe more..will have to see how much I can get together...but I may just pay £90 off egg at the end of the week...as well to bring it down...I don't know yet...
    I think my £7k by christmas is achievable now as well..god willing...
