    Sympathies to Mrs B - there's nothing more guaranteed to annoy an audio secretary than being noisy in a room where they're trying to transcribe. Congrats on the lottery win; Mr Minx has £8.40 to collect from the EuroMillions last Friday (first time he's played in about 2 years, but he wanted to be an Olympic millionaire!).

    That's great news about the Freelander :beer::beer::beer::beer: I'm currently trying to persuade Mr Minx that he wants to start saving for the £10k we need to buy our fields from the house's previous owner next May rather than put down a deposit on a Mercedes with his backdated payrise, but it's a bit :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:

    Hello Mr B

    Sorry I haven't been around much but glad the op went well and that you are on the way to recovery.

    As others have said don't overdo it and rush back to work too soon, take all the time you need to get fully well.

    Well done on the money front, with the Freelander sale, sorry about the tax.

    I have been a bit like you today wondering whether to do the ironing, wash the car or the garden....decisions, decisions.

    You have also reminded me to start looking at my surveys again I haven't managed any this week

    Take care

  • Hi Bonnington

    Wow you've been busy (as usual, I might add ;) ).
    Looks like you've made a big dent in your debt - well done, you must be really pleased :).
    We seem to have spent quite a bit of time in B&Q lately too :( as we're having a bit of a re-dec. I find it soooo boring!
    Keep up the good work.

  • Evening Mr B :D *waves*

    Sorry not popped by in a while! Just caught up with all the news and YAY to the freelander finally selling :T :D and the signature is looking fab! When do you think you will be sub 20k! It seems to have shot down very quickly so well done :)

    I hope your hand is healing well.

    Oh and as for the b&b idea, will your DW be able to quit work if you go ahead with this? Sounds like a winner to me if you can get the clientele :)
