    Had some great news

    I got home this evening and opened a letter from the bank. For once it put a big smile on my face. I had huge blow up with them a couple of months ago over the way they handled something on my account. I have been with them for over 25 years but recently they have become complete robbing b******s. I made an official complaint and left it at that, it was of course partly my own stupid fault for not being the best at managing money Anyway to cut a long story short they have decided to pay me back all my bank charges for the last twelve months and the money is already in my account....and I didn't even ask !! What is really GREAT is that it means I don't have to sell any of my Balls to fund my recent 25th ...... ....YEEHAW !! Merry Xmas to me

    Its amazing what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit

    Well... the tenant was an arsehole if thats what you mean, hence the reason for the bank charges in the first place !!

    Nice one Kev, I am pleased for you.

    I thought the good news was about your son winning that college competition...

    The life lesson here is in accord with something my mom told me.
    "Don't ever be afraid to ask about the money"
    You don't have to like the answer. But if you don't like the answer, take your money and leave.

    Lucky duck! Usually they know only how to collect ... Good for you! I hope you get a rosewood neck (not a rosewood fretboard) and a hard tail and let me know what this beast sounds like!
