    Wow - congratulations taxi! The Halifax card is H I S T O R Y ! ! !

    Now you just don't worry about that housework, your recovering tummy is far more important.

    Just a thought though...is there anyone local who can come over and do an hour or two housework for you, just to tide you over? It might set you back about £15 - £20 but it could be money well spent so you don't injure yourself or set yourself back. And you could be helping a fellow DFW (even if they don't know it yet!) in the process.

    Good luck with the paperwork...

    Hi LA....I did think about getting someone in and paying them but DH works nights so is in bed all day...so it makes it hard as I don't want to disturb him...
    I'm thinking off trying to do between 30 mins and an hour in the evening and see how far I get...
    Thanks for the suggestion anyway...ideas always welcome...

    Hi Taxi - how are you today? I hope you've been taking it easy and that you're not in pain.

    Anything planned today? (relaxing and restful thin of course:) ). Seems a nice day today.

    Hi there you 2...
    Blackangel thanks for reading ...it must've took you ages!!!...an inspiration me...thankyou....
    Not too bad thanks Sea...it's been a lovely day!!!....I did my washing hung it out and brought it back in....DH...mopped all floors upstairs and hoovered stairs and landing and downstairs....lovely man!!!
    I have cleaned bathroom and all upstairs windows and done all other glass and am resting now as that was enough...
    As you will all see I've got a new signature now as the BT from egg was in the bank...so no O/D....no sofa needing paying and the £1500 put away for taxi insurance....so no O/D charges from now on...
    I've also done another full budget to take account of all car expenses over the year so that I won't have to use a CC and am going to start putting money away for my tax....

    Well would you look at that brand new signature! LOVE IT!
    It'll be great to see the figures going down as well, just like the Halifax one did.

    What time does your hubby start work hon? A cleaner might be able to come over late in the day - might be worth asking the question. Sounds like you did a lot today - cleaning windows is no fun and quite strenuous I think, if you do a lot of them....so be careful. :)

    Wow taxi, you definitely get the flylady prize for today.

    And love the new signature. How nice to see those 0%s. I look forward to watching the numbers get smaller.

    I did my Egg balance transfer today - a big relief and I owe it all to you! It's wierd feeling so grateful to someone I will never meet!

    Have a nice day tomorrow and don't overdo the cleaning.

    Hi Seaxwyn...the egg BT only takes a couple of days to hit the account..I only did it saturday and it was there today ..was really impressed...
    no need to be grateful to me ...I always like to post things that may be of help to someone else as I spent hours thinking of that one..it's always nice to be of help.It's such a relief isn't it when we find the answer...
    going to chill out tommorrow and do very little....hope the weather is nice..as I may go for a walk..
