    Mike,

    I spoke to Christine today, and guess what?

    Gaz & I have decided that because you are such a decent bloke (we decided that after that first week when you gave us an extra £30 on the friday to have a pint at lunchtime) that we are going to see the job (the electrics that we started) through to completion for absolutely NOTHING.

    Yup, you did read that right.....a good £2,500 worth of our labour as a pressy to you....so the Beeb can direct that chunk of the budget elsewhere to help you get the house you deserve.

    I've been through a few phones since we last saw you (autism is a costly disease LOL) so drop me a PM with your number and I'll give you a bell.

    Wow - Mike - what an offer - how fab is that :j:j
    Thanks guys - I'm sure everyone will be so thrilled for Milke when they hear the news. :T:T

    That's amazing!
    KillerWatt & Gaz, that's a wonderful offer. I am almost (almost!) stuck for words!

    I am sure the MSE-ers will ply you with tea, cake, pints... wish I could do so myself :)
    You're complete stars

    You (and your bank manager) are so going to regret that offer :rotfl:

    Don't worry about my Bank Manager, never met him!! You will be too busy to drink much - I guess the pressure will be well and truly on to get it all finished in time. I am scheduled for painting duties the second week. Look forward to meeting such a generous bloke. Did they tell you that you will have to wear mauve? Its the chosen colour. A hat will do for the men. Us women? well wait and see.
