    Congratulations Butti. :D

    A sigh of collective relief from everyone I think Butti! You did it, kept your head above water while paddling madly and you are finally here - I shall raise a glass in your honour later (just as soon as I've written another 500 or so words:o) :D

    I honestly couldn't be happier for you x

    I'm drinking diet coke to celebrate Butti.
    We can have a proper drink to celebrate when we are in the Burgh.
    I shall count up my change jar :rotfl:

    So as you'll have gathered it went well.
    I got my stuff (what I could! Slight issue with bedding!)

    It didn't want to come?
    Butti wrote: »
    in a very small Toyota Yaris by about 8.15am, the removal men turned up at 8.30am and had all the stuff out and packed by 9.20am.

    Driving to the estate agents he called me and said the money had gone in, dropped the keys off (ran into a friend I worked with about 8 years ago!)

    Were they hurt?

    and drove down with a VERY full car, conscious of the fact that if I braked hard I was likely to be partially decapitated

    How can you be partially decapitated?
    Butti wrote: »
    by a very nice Ikea lighthouse print :eek:

    Oh art! High brow decapitation. I see now.

    Can't decide whether to go home and doze on a bottle of red or go out with friends to see Gravity, in which case I should only have a glass and about now.

    Go out - be a devil.

    Go to HSBC and have a look at the state of play.

    Pay a couple of people off and line up others that need to be paid.

    Can I just say that I have REALLY REALLY appreciated the support I have got on here. There are a few people (now you'll all think I'm talking about you - one of you KNOWS I am talking about you!) who have gone above and beyond and really have kept the wheels on. There's been some really dark days in the past three years

    but you can get through with the support of your friends and I don't think I would be here without it.

    You can count on people. Don't ever let it get bad again... :naughty:
