"I decided that I would fire up the barbie to feed the family.

"The man serving me in B&Q, when I was buying coals, asked me 'are you having a BBQ?' I said 'yes' - he looked at me in shock.

"I'm here for a good time, not for a long time."

His wife Holly added: "He's always positive and upbeat and likes to bring sunshine into our lives."
