    Great result with the loan. Bet pre dfw days you would not have even queried trying to get a better deal.
    £800+ is a great saving almost three months payments saved:T

    Well done.

    That is an excellent saving on the loan. £18 a month doesn't sound a lot but £864 is loads!!!

    Hi,
    I'm fine, been doing lots of lurking only posting occasionally. always read your thread, you are doing great with the debts and your recovery. I need hysterectomy soon so have been watching your recovery with interest, hope mine goes as well.You are definately putting me to shame with all that housework and washing:D :D

    hope your grandson is feeling better.

    Hi all...sorry not been around today but have been really busy with OH...we had to go and renew his taxi badges...and provisionally book the fitting of equipment (6 august) and pit test (7 august) for the new taxi...so they are provisionally booked.Then we had to go to the hospital with OH for a blood test and to hand some samples in at the path lab...then we had to go to Fleetwood to get him some new trousers for work..he didn't see any but I got 2 pairs for £16 in M&S outlet store.....
    Sophiesmum...don't worry about your hysterectomy ...it'll be the best thing you ever do...I'm now feeling quite well and will be back at work in a few weeks.My grandson is a little better he just has a cough like his daddy...but no spots yet...so that's good...if he's still alright in a couple of days I don't think he will get chickenpox..thanks for asking

    Glad your grandson isn't any worse. Although if he does get chicken pox it won't be a bad thing - he will have it out the way before he starts school and starts picking everything up from the other kids.
    Thanks for reassurance about the hysterectomy - am hoping for big changes in my health afterwards.

    sophiesmum:D

    It's really changed my life and things can only get better...the only reason I'm still off work is the lifting involved on the job.It'll probably be the best thing you do....are you already down for it ...as when he put me down I had it 3 weeks later...

    HI Taxi - WOW! You've been sooo busy :) Glad all is going well and congrats on getting that loan down as well :D

    So nice for it not to rain today - it was perfect drying weather, but I did none!

    Hope you have another productive day tomorrow.
