Why? I don't want to go to a spa.

Unless you capitalised Spa deliberately, suggesting I hold the company AGM at the Belgian F1 race weekend?

So to me it makes sense that MyCo pays for my wife (who doesn't work for the company) to to go on a nice spa weekend.

I can't see any holes in this argument but I thought I'd run it past you lot first, just to be sure.

(it's no worse than that electric bike idea)

Talk about Living In The Past. Heavy Horses wouldn't make me put this through the company. My God, Nothing Is Easy even with You There To Help Me.

Must have taken you dark ages to come up with all that.....

As long as you get to the Spa by electric bike but also charge car mileage, it should be Ok.

Don't forget to claim benefit for lunch and childcare voucher also.

The cost will be a BIK on you. 6/10 for trying though.

Remember to book the spa day through IPSE so you don't miss out on the "employee" discount.

Lol. I'd need to grow gills for the amount of time I would need to spend in water to cheer me up
