The blood, sweat and tears I've put in to flying rewards over the years, with no upgrade ever; eight years as Silver and a year as Gold. Manage to scrape Gold for her and her second flight she gets upgraded. At least she's appreciative. "Oh that's nice".
Interestingly, whilst she correctly received Y TP/Avios postings for the upgraded flight back, the outward bound, in which she was paid J, has posted as Y.
