A grand day out

Well, I’m back from the work-cum-Motorhome-and-Caravan-Show trip to the NEC - would anyone have a spare £229,000 hanging around anywhere? I’ve rustled up a grand’s worth of deposit by digging round in the bottom of my handbag but I think they want more – they being the vendors of a very smart Concorde motorhome which was retailing for a cute £230,000. I’m not sure it was that one that had the garage for the Smart car at the back, no, in fact, I think that model was only £165,000 – a mere bagatelle! All these super posh vans had red rope in front of the doors for ‘escorted visits only’ – why not put out a sign that says ‘If you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it’ instead? So, what have you managed to raise for me? Two fuzzy Polos, one sticky Tune and a ha’penny? Well, that’s probably more than I’d get out of the banks at the moment.

I can contribute lots of crumpled receipts from the vet (can you get money for recycling?), a slighly damp bonio and the wrapper off a blue bandage. You know what, I think you need more friends who DON'T own greyhounds.....

No, all contributions are welcome. And those receipts? That's a hell of a lot of recycling - a whole forest in fact!
