    Hi taxi - hope you are fully refreshed after your long hours the other day. 4.00am wake up? :eek:

    Crikey I would have been panicking if OH had been doing electric stuff as well.

    I hope you have a good Friday & Saturday - lots of fares! :)

    Let us know how you get on.

    Afternoon all....well I went to work but felt tired and have a sore throat so finished at 12ish....am resting today as had a busy couple of days running around and did a lot of hours last week...I'd rather finish early today to rest and work hard at the weekend...I did ok though I earnt £50...
    I've made an £800 overpayment on the barclaycard today....maybe I can have it paid by christmas!!!!...the minimum payment is due monday £70+ so with that I'll reach my £5k target..and all the loans are due out in the next couple of weeks ...so will be in the £38k bracket!!!!..so all is going to plan...

    Well, it is a pretty big challenge, but there are still almost 2 months to go.....

    piece of cake :p

    I am sure you will give it a damned good go, and if you don't pay it all off, well you will have paid off most of it I am sure!
