    At least I am no longer working – that used to be an easy 27k miles a year (sometimes well over 30k)….imagine being hit with a mileage bill for £14,280! Oh, forgot about the drive to Wife’s dad’s early April, she’s desperate to see him as he’s just been diagnosed stage 4 cancer and is frail, so they estimate 3-4 months tops – palliative care only as he’s too ill for chemo. She can’t get away sooner as she’s a teacher – no hols outside term time. That’s 1200 miles, then same again for the funeral…could fly & rent a car, but its a logistical pain in the arse with her guide dog, far easier to drive. Back to London in April for the marathon, but we are flying down for that as she’s working, so fly down with dog Friday night, fly back straight after the run on Sunday, home after midnight and back at work first thing Monday morning – she’s crazy…lol.

    By the time you add up the excess mileage bill, you could have bought a car!
