    Fingers crossed - you have got to convince yourself before you can convince others.


    And from your eulogy to your intended job, you already have it nailed inside the Good MrB - just don't cut the naughty MrB any slack
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Redemption! Got the job. Come the end of January I can be nailing this mortgage. Off to party with the kids - but rather than going for the Dominos option we are going to be chowing down on a £3 Co-Op pizza. So I must have learnt something along the way.

    :T Well done.

    I have only now come across your MFW diary. I understand you not wanting to post your full SOA here (I've not done it either) - the main thing is that you do it for yourself. And maybe spot an entry or two in it that you feel like posting here to see what suggestions come up? Always good to see what hints other users have.

    Great stuff Mr B :T:T:T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
