    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    :wave:

    A slightly stressful week waiting for the funds from the share sale. We sold towards the end of the trading day on Friday and then at the start of trading on Tuesday (closed Monday) the share price plummeted by 25%. Mr MWC then got an email to say the shares had been sold but not the sale price :eek: He's sent me a screenshot of his bank account overnight and we got the higher price :j

    Back later with photos from my cookery class and to catch up on everyone's news.
