Yes ..I simply forgot the Vectis sale ...

I think that should actually read, "Today I saved a lot of money".

You're right
It's a litteral translation; a French say :
"J'ai gagné au Lotto, je n'ai pas joué" .... "I won at the Lotto, I didn't play"
Opposed to the usual ... "I lost at the Lotto"

And today I received a note from my bank
... From now the interest on my saving account is a fabulous 0,1%
Well I regret not spending part of that money at Vectis .... So perhaps I must say : I misplaced my money, I forgot Vectis

I don't have a Vectis account and so cannot see the end results. Can you share? What did the lots sell for?

Vectis is just 30 miles away from where I live, next time I pass I call in and thank them for you.

I see. There were three or four photos posted of what looked to be really nice lots of older kits. I was just curious what they brought. I don't have any lot numbers.
