    Hi All

    Lovely to hear from you all even though it is in such sad circumstances. :cry::cry:

    Taxi has been a great support to me over the years, as have you all, :Tand it has made the 2010 Riverbank Rave even more poignant.

    I'm really glad some of us had the chance to meet Taxi in real life to discover she was every bit the lovely and charismatic lady she is on the internet...and her own journey has been inspirational for me.

    I had written a long update post - but I'm going to save that for another day. Suffice to say I am plodding on and have made the decision to come back here to my roots with all you lovely people.
    I will be starting a new diary soon with the aim of motivating myself to stop procrastinating, get back on the wagon and take the next big step into the world of full-time employment :cool:, budgeting :eek::eek:... and paying off the debt :).

    She may have left this mortal world but she is still out there willing us all on! God bless her. :A:A

    Errm...ladies......just wanted to let you know that tree/hedge maintenance is periodically continuous..if that makes sense......So it will probably come as no surprise to you to learn that I am contemplating getting the totty tree surgeons back before the end of this year as it is "about time" given how dark my house/garden is again with tree shade after the last pruning 3 years ago

    Sorry I haven;t timed it for the summer that's just gone.....please understand if they do not want to take their shirts off at this time of year :(

    I could however be persuaded to postpone until the first decent weather in spring ??????:rotfl:

    They were a newly established company at the time ...that have appeared to have undergone a "big business boost" in the Village etc after they did my last job....not that I'm claiming any credit for their subsequent notoriety/publicity ...:whistle::whistle:

    Horace - what can I say, reading your description of the things that went on at your old address? That cheeky !!!!!! landlord, letting folks into your place when you were out - definitely needs his sphericals chopping off! It sounds as if you are amongst nice folks now and not pondlife.

    Wol - you rascal you! Step awaayyy from the hedge-cutters......put them down, you don't know where they've been.
