    Morning Taxi, well done on getting your ECDL certificate. Animogs can be so expensive. Hope the taxi sails through its test. Have a good weekend.

    Hi Taxi!

    Glad things are OK, if mundane. Don't get me started on poorly pooches...Pickledog was ill earlier this year and it came to thousands! :eek: Hope the mammogram results are fine (I'm sure they will be) and take care. xxx

    Taxi failed it's MOT big style today and is off the road awaiting parts..going to cost around £600 but luckily got the money put aside in car repair fund.
    I can see it being a very expensive couple of months as both cars need road tax at end of month and the taxi needs it's compliance certificate next month and insurance shortly after that..I do put money away every week towards this but don't know whether there will be enough in the pot as I haven't done it for a whole year yet but have my overdraft to fall back on if necessary.
    The other expense I have over the next couple of months are the vets bills for BEN.I'm hoping he can have his vaccinations done next week followed in a few weeks by neutering,double dew claws removed and micro chipping!!!..he has all the equipment he needs now new bed,bowls,leads,collars etc so after he's sorted at the vets he shouldn't cost too much.
    Am still awaiting my mammo results which is driving me nuts as hate waiting but guess I'll know something in the next few days.
    Will be glad when DD gets paid on friday as I will get my new shopping budget and we definitely need to stock up as starting to run out of stuff..lol
    I really need to get to the bank and get the housework done as the housework seems to be way behind for some reason.

    Not so great news Taxi, but at least you have got plans in place.

    Am so so Dizzie...just going through a scare at the moment.Got my mammo results on friday and need to have an ultrasound and probably biopsy done on 20th June as the mass that they were keeping an eye on has grown in the last 3 months...so need the biopsy to see what it is.Am hoping it's infection or scar tissue..but didn't think scar tissue would've grown in the last 3 months.
    I've had to cancel my lymphodema appointments for the week beginning 26th june as if I have anything then they won't want to be moving it around my body and I won't have my results by then.
    That MOT ended up costing me £950.13 the other day...mmmm
    I need to book the compliance/pit test now

    BEN went to vets today and his leg is much improved so he was able to have the first of his vaccinations and will have the next one in 2 weeks..paid for both today so total £35.

    Now for some good news...my lovely daughter has booked and paid for me and her to go on a girly holiday to Bulgaria for a week on July 9th and am quite looking forward to that.
    It'll either be a holiday to celebrate having got the all clear from these tests and getting back to work or a last fling before treatment if needed either way I'm going to have a great time x
