After months of heartache with truck hire (including, most recently, separate hire of truck and driver) we are now the proud owners of a toy rental club truck. It's a secondhand Mitsubishi Canter with a "box" at the back that will allow us to transport toys and equipment securely and without risk of rain damage.
For the time being, however, Rose is going to have to do most of the driving. It's arduous work, and sometimes stressful (picture yourself stuck in traffic with 3 precisely timed birthday deliveries ahead of you), but the hands-on experience should make it easier to train a full-time driver later on.
A certain husband, by the way, has already slammed the truck into a height barrier suspended over the entrance to a condo carpark! Perhaps it's just as well that we don't have our logo painted on yet ...
