    HOORAY! Look at those totals! WOOT!

    Well done taxi! You're gonna be gripped with it all again (if you aren't already!) very soon! Looking forward to seeing those totals tumble.

    Thanks everyone for your lovely comments...I'm being careful honest ...you'll know when I'm fit when I start doing 72 hours a week like I used to.
    I'm really happy and can see the debt starting to crumble but it will still be a long time until I'm debtfree.I'm taking it easy though and it's tiring but I will build my strength up...so heres hoping...take care xxx

    72 hours a week:eek: and that's just daytimes! If it includes Sundays its still over 10 hours a day (Carol Vordermann's maths are not a patch on mine:rotfl: :rotfl: ). How did you manage to do all that amount of work and still keep cheerful?

    I'm so glad things have started so well for you now you're back, it's always a bit scary going back to work after a long absence somehow.

    I don't blame you getting someone to bath your dog if it's a big one. I used to bath my Mum's dog for her and he was only a Corgi but it was an ordeal every time(for me and him:eek: ) but he had a viscious streak with everyone except Mum!

    Hi Imp and everyone..yes 72 hours a week 6til 6 ..6 days a week...I must've been mad!!!!
    The dog groomer called at 8.45 this morning to say she couldn't do him but she's doing him about 6.15pm...god knows where shes going to park the van as the street is full...so...he may not get done again.
    I've had a day off today but haven't done much...I've been to the bank and had to get a counter payment from the job centre...they still didn't pay my £100 for going back to work so had to phone them to arrange to have that put into my bank...they said about 5 days ..so we'll see!!!!
    Off again tomorrow along with DH...so don't know what we'll be doing yet...will have to wait and see...have a good evening all

    Hi taxi. Sorry that the £100 not sorted - but it will be soon hopefully and that will be another useful £100.

    Glad you and OH have a couple of days off - in preparation for a busy (no doubt) weekend.

    Hope pooch managed to get bathed!
