"I've been playing for a while - for years!
"I never thought this day would come.
"My daughter has left her rental property and I think it's time that I help her out with a home. I don't really have any plans for myself. I just really want to help her.
"It's come at a perfect time.
"We'll definitely have to celebrate."
