I have given the youngest an overview of the plans for the weekend, where, how long, named the hotel (quickly checked by him as he has had to endure some dodgy places over the years and enquiries about the cost) and asked if his Team Shirt is clean and admitted that yes he is going on Saturday. Big big smile.... 'Luke (a best mate) will be there... in the away stand. And almost before he took a second breath 'thank you'.
I think all thoughts of the £5 book he asked me to get him yesterday have gone out of the window.
