LANDED!!!!!

HELLO!!!

I know that firstly we have to apologise for taking so long to write but things have just been quite busy here with settling in, getting a rental car, getting all the correct paperwork so that we can start applying for jobs etc... as well as getting new mobile phones, we even drove downtown yesterday afternoon - well Daniel did - quite the experience!!!!

Phoenix arrived safe and sound also... he is having to stay in the basement at the moment until we have our own house as the lady we are staying with is actually allergic but she was willing for him to stay down in the basement so for that we are grateful.

Today we are going to go to the employment agency and try to find work, not sure what kind of jobs are around really so I'll have to update you on that later.

I know that a few people had asked for lots of pictures but I couldn't get pictures up on the internet yet as I have to kind of re-install the camera driver but I'll be sure to put lots up as soon as I can k...

I think thats everything for now... we're fine. We've been eating Tim Hortons for breakfast everyday so far (Sorry Em, Chris, Caroline, Wayne and all the others who might wish they were eating there also!!)

We have got mobile phones and I'll put the numbers below, as far as I know it doesn't cost much more (if anything more) to text than if would if we were in the UK so...

I'll try to get the picutres up as soon as I can as I said, I'll probably do that on here so check there soon k..

Mobiles including country codes

Right... back to finding jobs etc...

Take care,
Love Gill x (& Dan x)

The Final Countdown

Hopefully you too will now be humming along the tune in your head like we are here!! With now less than 24 hours to go before we fly off to new horizons we are....well actually not really doing a lot. Friends and family are mostly all at work and we are just tying up a few loose ends with bank stuff and cramming the last few clothes into the suitcases!

Thats it really.... See you in .... about 30ish hours!!

Gill & Dan xx

Remember, remember the 5th of November

Also - just a few pics from bonfire night...

Moving... or not...

Well it was quite a long time now that I wrote on here so just wanted to keep people posted on where we are with the move.

We found out on friday that the buyers solicitor has been on holiday for 2 weeks and the person standing in for him has raised some rediculous queries which are making the sale drag through. We had originally stipulated that we wanted to complete no later than the 17th (this coming friday) having exchanged contracts earlier this week but it is lnow ooking more like the middle of next week before we complete - cutting it fine much?!?!

So everything that seemed to be going swimingly to begin with is more than a bit messed up and Daniel is now contemplating buying our tickets regardless of whether we complete or not and if he has to cancel his ticket and just send phoenix and I then he has said that he will do that.

I write to you sat on the lounge floor (which is causing me to have an ever increasingly numb bum!) since we have no sofas cus they were collected by the shippers on monday. House is very empty and am not sure if we are coming or going at the minute!

I know that we will get there - eventually I'm sure... just don't much like this very strange feeling.... Will write again soon if we've still not gone anywhere... gotta go stretch the legs...
