    Great, glad it went well :j:j:j:j:j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I should have known that a Breton would pick the French-named horse with a maritime link for the National. (You are the only person that I know of who got the winner, and I have dozens of friends in racing.... I don't bet myself... )
    Great to hear the first day went well. Hope that you can move before too long as the train isn't the most reliable way to get to work... Not these days.

    Glad your first day went well...

    I had the same horse as you in the National (plus Seabass). Nice to win isn't it?

    Hope the rest of the week is good for you too.

    Evening all!

    Finally sitting down for a quick update :beer:

    Payment from £co of £38 coming up in the next week, Top£back £2.04 on its way, as well as Super Points payout..

    All that to come through as well as extra from the taxman, savings from redundancy payout I did intend to treat myself with, saving on this month shopping by following strict rules (menu planning, lunch box to work), and the fact that I am using my car far less than before..

    Therefore I am guessing a big update on the Masterplan Fund coming up in the next week, once I have paid off the monthly credit card...

    I am feeling rather smug tonight.. It will take a lot to wipe the smile off my face tonight :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Have a fantastic weekend one & all!
