A decision has finally been made and I’ve e-mailed the five winners. I have suffered endless torment! I received several hundred applications and read every single one. I selected 100 genuine applicants and then drew lots to reduce this to 25. I have now selected the final five, who appear to be totally committed. And I know that I’ve made the right decision!  So check your messages. To those who haven’t received an e-mail – sorry. To those who have – congratulations! Please send me a reply to let me know that you’ve got your invitation.  I ended up with five people from different parts of Sweden. I could easily have selected 100, but the choice has now been made. My torment and yours has finally come to an end …
But this isn’t the end. I had no idea how much attention this would attract, and I can only hope that the selected few won’t throw in the towel. You have already taken the first step on the road to a new life. But this is only the beginning, not the end. I and the five selected individuals will tell you about our progress on this blog. So stay in touch, and tell us about yours as well!
I will collect all the applications tonight. Please give me a couple of days to make up my mind!
Thanks you for a great response. Isn’t it great that all but 2 are prepared to take part? The only reason why these two have had to abandon this attempt is that they don’t have easy access to a Max restaurant!
I’ll have to nag them about building more outlets! Dum dum dum…
