Had a result

[MrBaker]

Can't make it to Le Mans this year, and the closer it gets the more gutted I am I cant go.

Then a supplier came into work and we got chatting, he is having a trade stand at the Le Mans classic. Knowing how much I love motorsport, he offered me a deal..

In exchange for helping him set up and close down, I have free travel, camping, food + beer and a pass for the Le Mans Classic.

My MD doesn't mind, and gave me the time off I need too. The OH doesn't mind providing I pay for the extra childcare, which my mum has agreed to do anyway.

Result !

Great news!!!

I know the feeling of relief/pleasure/delight myself. Very nearly lost the business/house/whole caboodle earlier this year (we haven't, and things are now 99% back on track and moving forward again), so Le Mans was very much off the agenda. A very kind pal has offered me free passage down there, with just camping/food/drink/entry to pay, and it turns out the wife squirrelled away £5/week from when it went sour as a back-up Le Mans fund for me so with a few quid extra I am going too!!

+1. Probably one of the nicer things I've heard today. Sounds like she needs a bunch of flowers.

Cheers guys, yes she's done ok

Sorry Mr Baker, didn't mean to steal your thunder, just know how pleasing it is to be able to say you're going when you think you weren't. Now to shore things up further to ensure ten trips on the trot next year...
