A FABULOUS Money Cannot Buy Prize

Hubby and I are avid F1 fans and I enter every competition to try and win tickets tor aces. Never been to a F1 race but it would be a dream prize.

Anyway, today I get a lovely email from Whyte & MacKay advising my entry has been picked for the nominate a "great mate" comp.

I nominated my lovely hubby for a fab 11 years and for ensuring life really did begin at 40 for me :D

The money could never buy prize....... both our names on the two Force India F1 cars at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2-4 November :eek: Our names will feature on the nose cone, side panels and front wings :D

Also we get two polo shirts, signed photographs and a bottle of whisky to watch the race :D:D:D

This means so much, especially as it is Abu Dhabi as we have been to the racetrack there (not to watch F1) and when I told hubby, he said he would be ecstatic if I told him I had won a million pounds, however he does not think he would feel any different at winning a million pounds to how he feels now at having his name on a F1 car.

Absolutely delighted and LOVE my hobby :beer:
The best things in life are free.....
