A nice fat refund was waiting for me on the doormat when I got home from work today     

Otherwise known as Dave's retirement fund!
In all seriousness...
Nice one chap, enjoy.

Well....Huzzah !!

Good to hear, makes a nice change!  I had one yesterday saying I owed them a chunk of VAT/handling fees for a decal restock from the States... 

Hmmm, never had anything like that .

I got one a few weeks ago; not a fortune, but it'll pay for the chariot-era armies. But my wife trumped it just afterwards by browsing through a sudoku puzzle-book she'd taken on a recent holiday and finding (I kid you not!) a thousand dollars she'd tucked between the pages as an emergency fund and forgotten about. I thought we'd been a bit short on our last two days in Kyoto!

It's earmarked for our Italian holiday in December, but I wonder if the responsible thing to do wouldn't be to get her brain checked out.

Anyway, many happies on your windfall, and may it be spent wisely. Or on 10mm figures.

Some of it is earmarked for LoA cuirassiers, a large chunk is being spent on my motorbike and the remainder is being added to my 50th birthday party fund (10 months away)

50 isn't too bad. Really. You'd be surprised. They can do wonderful things with bifocals these days. And viagra compensates for much. Don't be depressed. Seriously, now....

Viagra's only any good if your heart's up to it However, one thing I guarantee - you will not feel any different on your fiftieth birthday than you did the day before. 

That's so true.....It was 'jumping' from 59 to 60 that I found depressing.

That's assuming I am sober enough to feel
