My fiancee has finally agreed a sale on her house to a buyer without a chain - all being well, the mortgage on our place will be paid off by Christmas.

I got a 10% pay rise last week and also found out that the taxman owes me £500.

Why? 150k rent sounded quite nice? Can you make more out of solar?

Ahh, FFS.

My Daughter has just won a promotion to Asst Manager in charge of pension fund management strategy and investment.

My Son has just landed a job at Babcocks International plc as maintenance electrician

Happy days are about but both my Son and Daughter have worked extremely hard and with determination to improve their life prospects.

I'm pretty certain I'm going to buy a Z4M Roadster, probably in Red rather then Interlagos.

Back into swifter cars maybe in time for BTAP

Had aminor one the other day - came back to my car (which had a full day parking ticket on it) and found a parking fine - you know, little sticky yellow pouch with paperwork inside

I was fuming

Then opened it and found a flyer for a well known mobile phone operator, a card saying "Don't you love it when you get a total surpsrise that results in a positive way - that's why we've included a crisp £5 note inside here"

and yes there was a fiver in it

All smiles from me

My absolute scumbag, never-worked-a-day-in-their-lives neighbours are, as I type, loading up a rental van and moving out of their taxpayer funded, 5 bedroomed detached house.

Good riddance, you horrible, anti-social chav scum. Careful not to have a deadly accident driving to your new hellhole.

And relax

Got an interview for a job with RBS in Edinburgh this week. Excited about the prospect of having a proper job after leaving uni, moving to a new city & saving for a nice 996 C2 or something.

But they've been charged, so why is it good news?
