Happy thread

[Trainfish]

Was my birthday yesterday (Sunday) and we had a big party here on Saturday night. A few small train presents and I also found out I won £10 on the birthday bingo site. Best present of all was a letter from my bank saying they will pay me £2800 for a PPI which I never knew I had! I can see a few trains in that 

Also had a message from  to wish me happy birthday

Strewth !

[Bealman]

Yeah.. I have the same problem... keep finding that sort of money in the pockets of old jackets.

They actually wrote to me a couple of months ago to say I'd had it. At first I told them I had always opted out of PPI and to my knowledge I have done. But they insisted I had taken it out even though they couldn't tell me when or what for. They still can't but who am I to argue?

[Bealman]

Yep, don't argue... keep schmum,mate. They are obviously correct.

I also had a cheque in the post only £93 But it was from overpaid income tax, they had taxed me as if I was working from Dec to March but I retired in Dec.wont see the money Vals got the cheque.

That's sorted, then.

Friends,

After weeks or possibly months, (I have lost track of the time scale) plus the charitable visit of Malc and ALL the wonderful advice and support from everyone here I have finally managed to get a train to run around the outer track of my layout!

After cleaning and a few stutters I have been sitting in the middle of my layout just delighting in watching a train go all the way round without fuses blowing, overheating controllers and a lost temper!

Warmest regards, Peter.

Great news Peter, everything comes to those who wait and show patience.  Let's hope the rest of the layout will bring forth even more joy.

I'm glad your bath and speech therapy have helped to get the outer oval working, Peter.

May the progress continue!

Thankyou, I couldn't quite work out what you were referring to until I realised that I had missed out some words from my original post! 

Peter.

Had a wonderful day out with a friend 
What's even better is she is a driver on the Northern line

Does this mean Mick should be looking for a new hat
