Hi Taxi - you told the dr about your stomach being sore? Is it normal? Hope it gets better....

Hi Sea..I haven't been to the DR as it feels like muscle soreness...I only get it when lifting or when driving for a long time...it feels like I've done a lot of sit ups IYSWIM...it does ease off when I'm resting so I don't think it's anything to worry about...its niggling...
Pigsback vouchers are great ...I've got £30 worth all for doing nothing...I'm going to buy something for my sons for christmas with them...
are you feeling better now?

Evening everyone..hope you are all well...I'm feeling quite excited tonight as I've been totting up the money I have towards the barclays CC and may be able to overpay by £1k this month which will bring me very close to my £7k target that I was hoping to achieve by christmas...so I feel quite proud of myself as I definitely will be over the £7k mark by this time next month...my barclays is due 12th of this month and so far including my min payment of £54 i have £949 ..so...I have until next monday to find another £51..should be achievable....I should be able to find at least another £100.....so really chuffed with myself..have a good evening everyonexx

Hi taxi, you are doing really well repaying those debts. I always look at your tax savings figure with envy!

Sorry to hear you still have some discomfort. That does seem a long time to still be feeling the effects of the operation. Can you do any physiotherapy to help it heal?

...while in sainsburys I signed up to a new energy supplier and will get a load of points for that...they'll all go towards next christmas...

I am afraid I am a lurker rather than a regular poster but had to jump in here and say please be careful of this offer. I have been with Sainsburys energy(Scottish Power) for some time and was very pleased with the fuels bills over this time but the offer ran out. When I was approached in Sainsburys recently with the offer of another deal (they are now with EDF) I gladly signed up. I have since had a phone call from Scottish Power who obviously want me to stay with them and who told me that EDF are the dearest provider in my area. They said that Sainsburys put the offer to supply to tender and EDF offered to pay Sainsburys the most to be their supplier. So if this is correct Sainsburys haven't changed suppliers to get the best deal for their customers as they said but have changed suppliers because they made the most profit for themselves out of the deal. I decided to therefore stay with Scottish Power after all and they gave me £30 for doing so. I can't work out the comparison tables so I just hope I am doing the right thing. BTW my son found EDF expensive while he was with them which I did take into consideration. Also EDF is a French company.

Wow, taxi, what an achievement. No wonder you're feeling 'quite excited'! If I'd managed what you have I'd be on the roof shouting through a loud-hailer:rotfl:

I hope your discomfort rights itself very soon, it must be making your job difficult for you. It sounds as if you are very busy work-wise so try to have a bit of relaxation(not too much housework for instance;) ) on your days off. And when you come home aching after a day in the cab please try to snatch a bit of 'feet-up' time. You'll probably be very, very busy over Christmas and New Year and we don't want you falling ill again:eek: .

Hugs

Morning everyone...thanks for the replies...thanks Ches...I'd already changed my mind and am staying with Scottish power as my bills are cheap with them...they were only £66 for electric and £33 for gas for the last quarter..and I'm in £126 credit and only pay £64p/m in total...so don't think that can be beat...ironically EDF phoned me yesterday to check that I wanted to go with them and I said no...so thats sorted.That is really useful information though...so thanks for that.
Imp and Seax ...I think the aches are probably normal and might me because I'm fat(especially belly)...gravity and all that!!!...my tax savings haven't gone up in ages but I will sort this years and will def put money away every single week for the next one as I'm sick of worrying each year...and I still don't know how much we owe yet...the accountant promised to let me know by this weekend gone and when that happened has promised for this weekend...but if all fails the cab is working 24/7 for christmas week so will get it that way...it's not going on the CC this year..Imp I do have feet up time...thanks...my body can cope with work just about but about the only housework I do at the minute is the washing and washing up...my house is a mess ...DH hoovers but not much else gets done...I will do it when I'm feeling fitter...it's my day off today so am going to chill out today...have a good day everyone xx

Well this is turning into a good day as I've just checked my online gas/electric bills and I'm £176 in credit and they are reducing my DD to £45.50 from 1st december...thats a £19.50 p/m saving and I'm so happy with that.They are the cheapest firm I've ever been with...thats £45.50 p/m includes gas and electric usage..when they set it at £64 p/m I thought that wouldn't have been enough to cover the bills...so really chuffed...shows what a rip off the other firms are.the readings are correct as well as I've put them in when requested.
Wonder whether I can have any more nice things happen today....lol...
