So many "shit isn't that" s in one photo, don;t know where to start!

Nice Andy, Location?

CJD has got to be the place to start, no?

BIG... YYFY for me!

10 years ago, I was stuffed financially for various reasons, and took out a secured home loan with GE Money - that's General Electric, an American company; that ought to have had alarm bells ringing.
To cut a long story short, I ran into difficulties again, and in 2008, GE decided they wanted my house. Fair enough of course, and I knew the risks.

We went to court, and together with an agreement to increase the monthly figure - in part, to cover exorbitant legal fees, the court awarded a suspended possession order.

Two months ago, I was still getting letters warning me about the suspended possession order.

Today I managed to clear the last.

I'll be celebrating, just as soon as I have a few pennies back in the bank!

BIG thanks to my mate Ian, who helped bail me out along the way

On another occasion, I managed to get the house repossessed! I'd been given a final payment deadline, but the payment date coincided with a bank holiday weekend - clever that.
Anyway, I'd kept to my side of the bargain, and delivered a bank draft to the solicitors, before setting off for a stint of work in Dublin (along with the esteemed mrJonathanr and others).
Of course, the payment wasn't processed until after the estate agent had broken in and changed the locks. One of the other guys got a call, to tell me that there was now a notice in my front window saying "this property has been repossessed etc. Got it sorted, but a minor drama!

Yep, got one of those waiting in the cellar. £3 right there!

That is fantastic news Dave - and a bloody amazing effort. Well done! One of the best YYFYs we've ever had I think.

That sounds like a massive weight lifted from the shoulders, Dave. Nice one

Filled in a feedback form after buying bike from Evans Cycles and got £250 voucher in lucky draw!

[a dense loner]

I filled that form in, where's my voucher?!

[slackline]

Your form must have gone into the 'unlucky draw'.

[a dense loner]

Story of my life! Weird that the last form I filled in got me what I wanted then.

[SA Chris]

Looks like you are one of a decreasing number..

[a dense loner]

it doesn't matter anymore

Chin up dense... I thought you were positive about the Brexit?

[a dense loner]
