CJ Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 It is with a heavy heart that I have to concede defeat to my pain issue and confirm I cannot attend this years event If it were just pain alone then I am sure I could work through it but it means a lack of sleep and that coupled with driving could be a dangerous combination that could lead to tragic consequences. The tickets cost £212 and I would like to sell them for around £180 but looking at other threads I cannot see that happening. Instead, I would like to offer the following: How about I sell to whoever is the highest bidder by midnight Friday and all the money will go to Macmillan Cancer Support?

Branners Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Can he not drive the MR2, or anything at all? We dont mind what car you come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Can he not drive the MR2, or anything at all? We dont mind what car you come in. I rang them today John and my insurers wont entertain him due to his age. I stupidly went with a non specialist insurer when I did it on my own and they almost had a seizure when I told them about the engine change and now adding Josh (even for a few days) is a no go as far as they are concerned.

CJ Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 My last real hope is a new mattress I have just had bought for me (got to love ex wives eh?) that is being delivered this Friday. The last time I bought a cheap topper it seemed to do the trick up until recently and so maybe - just maybe - this may work again. OK, it wont help my sleep when away but it will allow me to have good nights sleep prior to going and I think that would be OK to get me through.

wewsupra Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 just looking through and have spotted this... its shame mate, but just a thought, couldn't you get any one on full comp insurance to do most of the driving for you and take you in your car ? I'm sure there must be away for you to come along? seems a shame to not go so close to the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day it still boils down to a terrible pain problem that means no sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Cj how much for travelodge mate? I have cancellation insurance on the room and so I would be looking to get what the insurance would pay me which is the full amount. I believe I paid £35 but can check if anyone is interested. I had already sent an email last night asking for a refund but I am sure another email asking to just change the name (if that is necessary) would not be an issue.
