What a week!
« on: 29 April 2015, 14:26 »
Hugely eventful, this last week. Last Thurs I had 2nd job interview (facing redundancy in June due to my place of work closing), went to Mexico on hols the next day, woke up to a job offer yesterday morning and this morning woke up to an email notification from VW that my long awaited R has left the factory. After coming back from Mexico on Saturday morning, i'm in Berlin on Monday....If only I could drive it back to blighty next Thursday.

Good things come in 3s apparently, just wondering what the 3rd bit of good news will be?

Congrats on the job!

Congrats on the job.

Congrats on the new 4wd arrival

And you did remember your contraception after all that tequila? Will there be another congratulations on their way...?  :laugh:

Hope you had a good holiday.

Congrats on the job offer, the impending arrival of the R and whatever may become the third good thing.  With Mr Ex's comment in mind, I've holidayed in Mexico quite a few times and know how keen the bar staff are refilling the Tequila shots :wink:  :smiley:

Congratulations Matt on two counts. Could not happen to a nicer person.

Been to Mexico a few times but mainly to Mexico City as I have the use of a swish apartment there. Always had a great time, drank in moderation but gorged myself on food.

Now the third thing will be that your car will come with Bouncy Bridgestones which you will love profusely. Actually, don't expect a third thing where good news is concerned as it could be considered greedy. Three things only works for bad news/things.

Congratulations once again.

Thanks everyone, good result on the job front, and it pays significantly more than the current one. The "City of Sunderland" is due into Tyne from Emden on the 4th of May,  if by some miracle my R is on that, it'll beat me home from Germany.

Almost certainly getting the missus a new Polo GTI (that's the extra in my new pay packet gone!) I'll no longer be able to give her a lift to work on the way to mine. Glutton for VW punishment?

Not a bad week at all then is it? Polo GTI does look nice, it'll be nice to borrow it from your missus on occasions too :p
