    Hung up my suit!
    Just to close this one out quickly.

    We decided to go ahead with this and accepted the CETV of £404,000.

    Everything was completed in a couple of weeks, the money has been paid out and is now happily invested.

    We won't be touching this money for at least the next 12 years so hopefully we'll see a decent amount of growth over that time.

    Need to update my spreadsheets to reflect the change.
    Money won't buy you happiness....but I have never been in a situation where more money made things worse!
