    thank heavens it is not just me with the phantome high street web searches. I was really worried that they were tracking to quidco even when I had done them through a different site! So haven't done any of them for a couple of days just in case.

    Hi Chev and all...thanks for that....been to work 8am-3.30pm today and this morning was really quiet so was expecting to have a rubbish day especially with the lovely weather today(that always makes us quiet on the cab)..but this afternoon has been really busy and I've taken just over £100 so am really happy with that....am so glad we changed to this firm..I would've liked to have stayed out longer but was getting quite tired so came home...take care and have a good weekend

    Hi taxi. I guess it must have been quite tempting to stay out longer but if you were tired.....no no no you must come home and rest. Your stamina will be back soon enough.

    Yes it does sound like you made a really good decision to change to the new firm.

    How is hubby doing with his shifts with the new firm too? I presume pretty well too.

    HI taxi, £100 sounds like very good takings and the most important thing is to get back to full health, so don't drive when you're tired. Well done for getting under 40k, I know I'm winning our race at the moment but I won't be able to keep up when you're back to full time hours.

    You sound like you have had a very productive start to your time back at work. Certainly those debts will tumble when you get into your new routine.

    I hope you had chance to put your feet up last night, and that you are able to rest today x

    Evening my wonderful friends ...hope you are all well...I did rest yesterday evening...thankyou....
    Never thought I would be say that I'd be glad to be back at work!!!!..but I am!!!...
    I had a busy day today again 7am-3.30pm and took over £100 again..so am really happy with that...from next month I'll be able to pay loads more off the debt and never thought I would be so pleased to pay debt...lol...I've managed to bring over £400 in by myself this week and am really proud of myself...when I've done the earning sheets for the job centre it came in at under the £288 I'm allowed to earn for the week after expenses as they say I have to take account for my half of the bills off my earnings...suits me as they were being paid out of DHs take previously as they had to be paid...IYSWIM....so it means I can earn quite a lot each week...between £400...£430 roughly before expenses to earn the £288 I'm allowed to earn...
    I have landed in my o/d as I had to sort DD out with a big amount of money as urgent....and she will be paying me back monthly ...the money that will go i n the bank tomorrow will clear it and I will still have a large overpayment for barclays on the 15th...my MS CC bill is very large this month...so when that goes out middle of the month...I should land ahead by this time next month as the CC bill will be smaller...
    Sorry about the boring ramble but I'm so happy at the moment...take care...off to catch up with you all nowxxx
