Oh, come on now Tim. You can do better than that.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Manji, I know you won't listen to me, but this was a fluke. It will never happen like this again. You may try and try, but you will probably never get the magic you had tonight back. Do not go back. Ever. If you must, decide to spend a fixed amount (~$20) for entertainment's sake and don't spend any more than that.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Congratulations! That is really impressive haul. Like so many others here, I hate/envy you.

Good fortune surrounds us.

No, really, it does.

A hundred. thousand. pounds.

We've decided to sell our house. We had it valued today, and the price we can expect will give us equity (that is, how much will be left after the mortgage is paid off) of somewhere in the region of one hundred thousand pounds. We're in shock.

Now, we're not exactly packing up and moving to the Bahamas. That money will mean we can make a substantial deposit on a new home, and get a much smaller mortgage than we might otherwise need to (given the house prices bubble is expected to burst soon in the new year, any new house we might buy runs the danger of going into negative equity, that is, being worth less than the mortgage taken out to buy it).

Other things might happen. Best case scenario, we might only get eighty grand (Only. ONLY! Excuse me while I cackle maniacally). Potential buyers' own surveys might find something drastically wrong that the appraiser missed. A meteorite might hit us. But it's cheered us up. 8)

and your new wife felt how about you being there???

I was asked to go in to a partnership in a new business, which was nice to be asked.... coming up with the $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 is going to be a pain in the ass, especially since my divorce destroyed my credit...er, my wife did before leaving anyway...

This new business has good potential....

I hate life!!!!!!1

Actually, I was the caterer. B(

I'm assuming that any property you might have to guarantee a loan is either still in dispute, or has gone to her?
