    There are are no real official plans but deteriorating health now prevents work.
    One thing is for certain these plans will never involve daytime telly
    Sorry to hear you're unwell. That rich food and all that booze sounds like it's not great, can I take it off your hands?

          Is this kind of thing normal - is your client unusually loaded or is this more in the way of a retirement gift?

            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              The UHNWI's I deal with are typically worth £30m+

              Thank you bottles/cases of very good stuff or hospitality - tickets/invitations to exclusive events (executive boxes at Henley, Wimbledon, Ascot) are not uncommon.

              Not had a gift of this size before.

              This client is particularly happy with the strategy I have put together for him.

              He had paid a lot a lot more more for 10 sides of guff that would never work (consultant never thought to check with the planning dept) and is now suing that supplier for his dosh back.

              He is quite pleased with the large bundle of PDF's that I sent him and was further pleased that I engaged a surveyor to part complete the project. He has signed off every single PDF. We had a good Q and A session on zoom which we happy with on Wednesday and he paid the invoice (money in my account) yesterday even though it is due next month!
