    PS Mike, did you let Martin know...? I'll send him a message on your behalf if you like?

    Could you? I'm trying to murder Neville at the moment.

    (Only joking!) :cool:

    I don't think buying anything will have as much effect as donating time... good ideas coming in...

    Mike, I am so pleased for you. The whole house, and it all to be done by 19th June. :jIt must be like a dream come true. I can't wait to see the results, I'm ridiculously excited.

    I too am feeling choked by the whole thing. I've just been telling my husband the story and couldn't hide my shiny eyes. :o

    Well done to you but also really well done to those regular supporters, I know there are a lot of them but most notably SouthernBellE:A; you have fully restored my faith that there are some truly good and selfless people out there. Your unwavering support has been really moving and makes me feel lucky to be part of this community.

    And thank you too for giving me a really good reason to open a bottle of bubbly tonight too:beer: ;)

    Yeah, SouthernBelle has been seated on my right hand throughout. Actually that doesn't sound quite how it's meant...

    And yes, I'm thrilled to pleats, and beginning to realise it's for real.

    I never realised she was so tiny. A SB in your pocket - couldn't she have a word with Neville for you? :D

    Thank you! What do other people think of those two ideas?

    x

    Yes, and yes.
    I had thought about emailing Mr Knight to say thank you - not as a campaign but personally, just because I think he should be thanked. Of course if I think about it more objectively (takes me a while), then none of this would have come about without :money:, so he should be thanked too :).
    I think Martin would be delighted to know that the combined power of MSE-ers has played its part in turning around what was at centre a financial abuse - and all the destructive ripples coming out of that initial rip off are now likely to be cut short too.

    I want to do something to celebrate everything that is making Mike's nightmare over.

    Mike - if they are going to do up the house is there still other stuff you need? As a non TV watcher I'm not sure what you will be left needing?
