I've always been a fish keeper myself, and have two tanks up and running right now. At one time I had some native sunfish in a 75 gallon tank that W used to feed every morning. In their excitement, one jumped up and bit her finger once! Another time the same guy jumped out and W had to rescue him.
I like the sound of your new image. I've done some of that too, and like you, W has not commented at all. That's ok since we should be doing this for ourselves, anyway.

Oh and I went to the casino last week and won a tidy sum of money
Are you planning to quit while you're ahead? That's what I would do. Actually, I'm too much of a cheapskate to even try gambling. We have a casino right here in my town, and I've only visited it once. Looked around, listened to the live band for a bit, talked with a few guys waiting to play high stakes poker, never even dropped a dime! To tell the truth, I felt a little lost and out of place in there. Need someone to show me how it all works. Good Luck!
