Happy thread

.. and there you were, Mick, getting all jealous over my £34 from the same bloke!

Well done mate! Pleased for you. 

I have a small inheritance from my recently passed dad and that is being invested in a similar fashion.

Make sure we see *-everything* you buy!

A very nice bloke came and installed fibre optic broadband for me this morning.

I connected my mobile phone first as my PC was not wireless at that time.  Once he was satisfied my mobile had connected he left and I installed a Wi-Fi dongle on my PC which is now connected to the fibre optic broadband and I am getting over ten times the speed I was which will improve over the next couple of weeks 

Soon after that the postman rang the doorbell and handed me the twin pack of Spitfires kits in 1:144 I ordered Tuesday evening, they do look tiny 

cheers John.

Achtung - Schpitfeuer!
Nice one, John.
Can I ask who your ISP is please?

You may Mick, I use Orange, they supply my landline and broadband but not my mobile.
I have to pay an extra £1.75 per month for the upgrade

Got an email from ERNIE (no, not the milkman!) to say he'd got something for me.

A modest win on the Premium Bonds tops up the 'railway account' that more than covers the couple of MK1 coaches just arrived:   Pullman 'The Hadrian Bar' and a TPO with side lights.

Cheers ERNIE!

Well done Dave, any amount of cash is welcome     

cheers John.

That's good news, Dave.
Nice purchases too

[Bealman]

Ah... the good old Premium Bonds. I'd forgotten about them. Congrats!

I'm  as after a week with no internet, I used up my allowance too quickly, I have access again!
No more trips to the library for job hunting!

Know exactly how you feel, ditched T-Mobile contract mobile broadband and now use 3 PAYG, better signal and funds allowing if I hit the limit I can top up again straight away.

I had 3 PAYG for years. Switched to their £15.99 contract as I was spending £25 a month on PAYG!
More data for less money. 
I just used a lot too quickly, mainly from the numerous uploading attempts with my backscene tutorial.
Still, that was worth doing so I won't complain!

On Friday I was offered a new job in Swindon and after having thought about it over the weekend I have decided to accept it. They have offered me £6500 more than I am on at the moment plus a car. It didn't really take too much thinking about if I'm honest 

[daveg]

Many congrats TF.

Swindon to Devizes, wearing out someone else's car plus the terrific extra cash ain't no bad deal!

All the best - I hope you'll be happy in the new job.

Nice one, Trainfish
Out of curiosity, what was there to think about

[Bealman]

Congrats, TF.... as NPN and youself quite correctly note, not much to think about there!
