This is going to be the best holiday of my life. For starters no bills will be left on paid, no monthly pay backs or threatening letters looming on the horizon. This was an all expense paid trip and boy was I going to enjoy it. Fifteen years of my life and I’ve never had a proper holiday, you know a holiday I didn’t settle for due to budget constraints now that sounds like something my boss would say.
I packed the camping gear …. a thousand pounds off.
I packed the food and my special rock climbing gear ….. five hundred pounds off.
Ohh this was going to be fun. The Mrs was certainly excited too, she was looking forward to the swimming classes at the camps private pool.
The best part was knowing there won’t be work waiting me straight off the holiday for two weeks.

I’m assuming since he didn’t get his insurance claim he and his family didn’t get to go on a holiday? That’s sad because they were really looking forward to it! Great story!

Oh he did go!
But he came back to a different answer from the insurance company as they caught him in his lies through the photos. He paid with his credit card already a bit too certain.
Thanks Joy!

Honesty is the best policy, but I guess he chose not to be honest! So, no policy rewards for him! Great story and lesson on be dishonest.
