    Hi everyone....I'm a little tired today...I'm on my 3rd load of washing today with plenty more to do!!!....it multiplies overnight...
    I've shredded/recycled or filed 2 large piles of paperwork but still haven't done the accounts yet!!!!
    I've tidied up and been to the bank and banked the takings...I've also been in touch with the taxi insurers to sort out having taxi insurance on both cars for 10 days while I pit the new one....as I have to insure the new one before leaving the garage and leave the old one insured to work before it can have the equipment transferred to new one and go over the pits and pit are only on a tuesday!!!
    Then tried to sort out private insurance for the old one but have given up for now....

    I hope you have a good day - you put most of us to shame with the amount you get done whilst still "recovering"!!

    Hi everyone...well I'm quite proud of myself today....firstly as I've done all the washing today,cleaned the microwave and cleaned the cooker ,sink and drainer...
    Secondly, I checked the amount the car loan was going to cost me from vauxhall finance and the payment was £286 p/m ..so I asked in the the bank for the same amount over the same period of time and they said £270 p/m...and that I could have it..so I phoned vauxhall to tell them to cancel the loan as I can get it cheaper from the bank and he said...I'll phone you back in a minute...he phoned me back and matched the banks rate....so £18 p/m saved....that's £864...save on the loan..so well chuffed!!!...and no extra credit searches on file...Vauxhall said they price matched as they didn't want to lose my custom...
