We'll get there eventually, won't we ????? :roll
Due to unforseen circumstances we are not coming next month, instead we are coming in January - for definate as our PR expires in Feb !!!!
Since we've been here in the UK we've been hit with expense, after expense, such as both our cars needed work doing on them, Keith's motorbike has just had almost £500 spent on it, his flat needed new washing machine, fridge, freezer etc., etc., Which we most certainly were not expecting to pay out on. All in all we've probably spent the best part of £2k on all these things.
We needed to do all of them as we need our cars to get around, and Keith will be renting his flat out when we leave so had to replace those items, if only for ourselves while we are here.
We did seriously consider just coming anyways, but not having a fortune behind us, and this being a major move, I want us to have the best possible start and not have to struggle when we get there by scrimping & saving from the start, and if staying an extra 12 weeks will make that difference, then that's the lesser of the evils in our book.
So Keith has just accepted a well paid job, which they have no idea he will be leaving in a few months, but it's better money than temping and for a complete change in our characters we have decided that we are going to do this for ourselves, we owe it to ourselves.
I'm applying for jobs just to earn the money to replace what we've had to spend out on also.
On the upside I get to spend Christmas with my daugter and Keith his son, he also gets to see his parents, both of whom are not in the best of health, they all know that there's no expensive presents forthcoming....
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and despite being gutted in making this decision, I do feel it's for the best and meant to be.
So we will see you guys on the other side in January now, and boy, are we ever looking forward to that...............
