That simply buys you time to work out the transfer of the domain afterwards.

You cannot transfer a domain within 30 days of its expire date (ICANN rule, not Tucows). So you have to first protect it by renewing it - then you can work on the details of transferring contact or ownership without "renewal adrenillin" running up the back of your neck.

Just an opinion...

Thanks.. I thanks everyone their help, especially Simon's calls. Just got an email from Tucows and all's well if ends well It was the tip of Baddog to start a transfer on Monday and it worked. Yippie
