Congrats black taxi that's fabulous news, maybe it can get resolved in time for the next update on the 12th?
I can't believe the next update has come round already.
My wonderful parents have just written off the rest of their loan to me, I will only continue to save it though so that it is there to support them in the future should it ever be required- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

Black Taxi that is superb! You've been such a great support to all on here, so on behalf of us all:
Oh, and let me be the first to say - 'you're so lucky' :rotfl:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
