    Well done! That's some impressive stats.

    Well done Taxi!!! That is fantastic! How long did it take you to pay that 7k?

    You'll be at 35k and overtaking me very soon.

    Oh yes, I remember that. That was when I set my personal challenge to get to 35k - I think it was in July. I still hope to get there by Christmas.

    We'll all have to start thinking about our challenges for 2008.

    HI Everyone...I've been trying to get on here for ages....can I please have a rant here?...I'm going to anyway...LOL
    Today started off great..I was out at work for 6.45am ready to face the world...got a £7 job immediately..great...waited 10 mins for another one..got the woman in she smelt of pee...stale pee at that..she asked me to take her to the shop to get cigs and wait for her to return her home...I said of course...then...when she was in the shop I checked the seat and she'd peed on it...so I drove off and had to scrub and disinfect the seat..so losing money...that's annoyed me all day...so she owes me £33 now...£30 for soiling and £3 fare...I went back to her house but she didn't answer so have put a letter through giving her 48 hours to pay or I will call the police...doubt I will see the money though...THen I got a fantastic job £15 that should've only took about 45 mins there and back in rush hour but took an hour and half...so lost out big time..then I went to my usual area and couldn't park up as there were 4 fire engines there...not at a fire but doing a training exercise....so parked close by where the satellite was tracking me first turn one area then 4th turn on another and alternating...I could've swung for anyone at this point so came home ...thought I'd go on MSE but it was down again.....
    Tiscali haven't taken my money out of the bank (so that's two months down)...I've e-mailed them ....tried to phone the woman in high level complaints and spoke to customer services who have me on the wrong package again...I've tried to pay so f..k them....
    Rant over...hope everyone else has had a good day xxx
  • Oh dear taxi - what a bad day. Hugs to you - I give you full permission to beat the sofa up and scream into cushions!!

    I hope tomorrow is HEAPS better - I am sure it will be. Try and get all your p'd off-ness out tonight and go to bed with a positive outlook that tomorrow will be better, and I am sure it will be.

    Hugs again.

    PS Hope that the pee woman pays up! Euw!
