Mate of mine has a small building firm and a few years ago like most firms in the trade a major company failed to pay a large invoice leaving him totally washed up. The generally followed path in that situation is to default on all your debts close the company then restart under another name leaving all the contractors below you to carry the losses. This chap didn’t want to leave people unable to provide for their families and paid every one of them losing his savings, pension, house and marriage in the process.
Shortly afterwards I asked him to install decking for us and build an outdoor wooden sink for my autistic son to play in. When he did the job he refused to take any money for all the wood as he said he ‘had it anyway’ and I had to force some money in his pocket for the labour.
Saw him in the pub last night and he has just won £500,000 on the lottery. Could not be happier for him!
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
It's accompanied by the new that my #1 manager is leaving, so the next few months are going to be a bit nuts, but it's a well-timed opportunity to make myself look good. I already did 80% of her job while she was on maternity leave so should be all good in the long run.
Now just waiting to find out how much they want to pay for the the new role... Have bought a new watch to celebrate

I figured there was another mutt who had made a run for if so decided to do a quick recce of the area seeing as I was in the car and they were on foot and the little bugger couldn't have got that far in a short time. Very shortly after, I turned up a road a few streets away and spotted a little Chihuahua puppy looking rather lost. I stopped the car, opened the door and called "Daphne, come and see me". She trotted over the road and climbed onto my outstretched hand.
She was cold and shaking a bit and I headed back to where the family were searching. The father spotted her in my arms and came running over. He was very grateful and shook my hand a lot. The little girl came running over in floods of tears and was ecstatic to have her little doggy back safely.

Good news for the coffers, but I'm knackered.
Here's hoping that they come back and become regulars.
Accepted an offer yesterday for £20k more than we thought we'd get. Cash buyer, no chain.
We're going to be house hunting in a couple of months - deliberately targeting ones that have been on the market for a while and being downright brutal with offers...
