WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!!!

We were so cross when the forumla one tickets came up for sale this year, last few years we bought them the day they were announced which is almost like 11 months before the event, this year the seats we've come to know and love, ok, we pay 165 pounds thats best part of 340 dollars EACH, for standing on some concrete, laugh all you like.. Its my birthday present, and its the best 3 days, I get as sunburnt to a crisp which provides all the people at work a serious laugh, as first year I really really really probably should have been hospitalised!! (We didnt have suncream!)

This year, tickets came and it was grandstand only which are 265 pounds each, so thats err, what near on 580? dollars each?? yeah, love F1 tons, but thats stupid money for a seriously uncomfortable plastic seat.

So, hubby wrote and asked and was told basically they doubted wether they would sell our normal tickets, you could have on the day tickets but no real info on where you could go, in fact it sounded more like you could get in the track but you'd be lucky to be able to see any cars..

So, having been talking about the disapointment with hubby over tea tonight, while sewing some ends in my blanket, I decided to check the site.. and there, you guessed it, TICKETS!! our normal tickets were available (they werent yesterday which was at the discounted price sigh) so, we have bought our tickets..

YAY!!!

Time to book the days off work :P

Couldnt be happier

So, heres to hoping Jenson Button has better luck this year, would be a seriously cool birthday present to see him win at Silverstone!
