  • Thanks MRN and GG, when I started in November last year, although I had targets, I couldn't imagine being able to 'touch' £200k. Now I really can see that it's in touching distance, ok I would need very long arms :rotfl::rotfl:

    Back on calls now, so have a good afternoon. Keep the wine in the fridge, hide the corkscrews and roll on Friday at 6pm when the bar opens in the Tilly household :T
