    Sparky,


    What absolutely brilliant news. !!!..:beer: . I bet you are over the moon with that amount. We are waiting for our mortgage company re a mis-selling on an endowment policy. We had one refused almost immediately, but this one was also put in at the same time and its been around 6 weeks since we heard anything. We are working on the assumption of - no news is good news. I'm keeping my fingers crossed after hearing your success. Well done. !:T:T:T

    PS.......I can't take the paving slab, its a concrete block the whole size of the bus shelter......someone might notice.:rolleyes:

    That's fab news Sparky. I'm really pleased for you. Poor Elsie, that gluing the money down gets ya every time! Anyway people, I'm off now for a few days as I've got a friend coming to visit. Soooooo keep up the good work, and don't let the side down. PS: the second part of my interview is a presentation entitled 'How do we differentiate ourselves from the competition?' Any ideas greatly received. so far I'm suggesting compulsory pink wig wearing. VERY different for a bunch of accountants don't you think. xxxLCxxx


    Thanks LC,
    Have a great time with your friend. Best of luck with the presentation, have you thought of juggling a chain saw? :rotfl: . That would definitely differentiate you from the competition :D

    Thanks elsie,
    Hope the endowment mis-selling gets sorted for you. Where's your sense of adventure? I think you're another one who needs to go to B&Q and get a tool belt, hammer & chisel for the next time there's a glued down coin :rotfl: if your not prepared to lift the concrete :rolleyes:

    Hiya JL,
    Does your brother know he's donated the 75p? Or are you another conscript into Sue's pocket raiders :rotfl: . I managed to put about £1.40 into my pot today, change from the post office :D

    :rotfl:He willingly gave it to me! A handful of coppers and 5ps :D

    Also found a tub in my room that I started saving in ages ago, then raided, etc... was still about £1.20 in it though which is now in my pig :D
