It has been a long time since I posted an update and to be honest I have been a bit tardy in bringing everything to a close- however with tomorrow being Remembrance Sunday I thought it was right and fitting to write my last post.
All the money has been collected and sent to Help for Heroes and through the donations of all my friends, sponsors and the many anonymous people who put money in our tin or texted the short code we have raised over £3600!!
This is well above my wildest expectations and I want to thank everyone for their generosity, I know that Help for Heroes will put the money to good use.
The only unfinished piece of business is the car. We have been unable to fix the fuel starvation and it still runs like an absolute dog emitting backfires and stopping after a few miles.
The most sensible thing to do with it is send it to the scrap yard.
Sadly I have never been particularly sensible so I have found someone to do a full renovation of the old girl- I want to get her back to the condition she would have been in just a few years after rolling of the production line.
I fear this will cost me far too much money but she deserves it and having left her on the drive rusting for several months it feels appropriate to get her sorted over the winter before the weather does more damage and more importantly before the Vodafone share price drops again.
So thank you all- this is the end of this blog but who knows next year I might come up with another crazy idea and start another.
Until then thank you all and I hope you have enjoyed my writing.
