    Sorry to hear you had the grumps shame there wasn't some super stunning house to cheer you but I guess you'd rather they didn't come on the market for a couple of years anyway :rotfl:

    Still don't get MB but know I must try harder. Will go and read the tread again :wall:

    You can always ask on the newbies thread on GIOL board for them to check out your bets before you put them on - they are very good and happy to do that.

    Thanks SH. Getting rid of egg feels very positive. And I didn't expect much in the way of a pay rise because inflation is so low/nonexistant so to get something decent was a nice, and very very welcome, suprise,

    The figures are all headed in the right direction :D
