    I discovered on Monday that I had 0.03p in the GBP section of my paypal account.

    I have no idea how it there as I only use USD with them.

    In this barn he found several of the cars listed here, all in pristine nick, and then remembered they were his too.

    (or are we talking matchbox cars?)
    Well, the contractors did plow a field that I didn't know I owned. Then the guy who thought it was his field came round to complain. Nearly went legal, till we got the deeds out and yes it was mine. I let him off for the back rent. 'Cause I'm a big softy really.

    I thought I was a bit light for last year on one of the businesses.

    I really do need to get a grip with filing & banking.

    Boomed!
    Well - on a serious note - I hope it sorts out your Tat Shop cash flow for a while..........

    I'm still hoping my passport I lost four years ago(I put it somewhere safe) turns up one day!!!!!
