NEW BEGINNINGS

Post by Obelix and Dogmatix »

Morning All

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish Neil (Thunder 02) a happy last day at his current employ and to wish him the best of luck with his new endeavour and house.

The reason for posting this under modifications will become clear to all by the end of the weekend.

As far as the new place, all moved, but nothing sorted yet.
The shop on the other hand is looking great and nearly ready to service all you eager shoppers.
@ Obelix, your order is ready.

I have every confidence that you will make a success of it Neil! :winkx: .... Just as well, because you're gonna have to invest in more furniture (and perhaps a pool table - :D: ), otherwise you and your family are going to rattle about in that big house! :D:
